The Alleged Drake Reference Track From 'Beam' Sparks Fan Debate
Are fans justified in drawing parallels between Drake's 'euphoria' and Kendrick Lamar's 'Beam'? Or is the Drake hate train off the rails?
Drake, a frequent suspect in ghostwriting conversations, has been a topic of debate among fans. Many mistake his involvement for simple additional writing credits. This week, a Twitter user, Ibvbnn, highlighted a recent leak that has sparked further discussion. The track in question is an unreleased collaboration between Drake and Central Cee, titled 'Triumph Tower'. Some accounts refer to it as 'Trump Tower', but the initial report suggested the former. An alleged reference track for this song, also titled 'Beam', has leaked online, featuring a similar chorus and melody but with different verses. However, the track's release and studio timeline remain unclear.
Kendrick Lamar's 'euphoria' is a six-minute diss track that includes a reference to 'Beam'. The lyrics, 'Ain't 20v1, it's 1v20 if I got to smack n***as that write with you', suggest a strong connection between the two artists. Additionally, a track called '3STAR' by wolfacejoeyy, which features similar lyrics and melody, has been linked to Beam as a writer.
It's important to approach this information with caution. The 'Triumph Tower' collaboration may never have been released, and we can't definitively determine if Beam would have been credited as a writer. As such, fans should take these claims with a grain of salt, regardless of their stance on Drake's involvement.
