Yesterday, Drake released his R&B mixtape’s opening track, “I Get Lonely Tooâ€. The track samples TLC’s intro from their 1999 album, Fan Mail. Drizzy explains to Rap-Up, the motivation behind the track.
“I was in the car and I had the iPod on shuffle, and I heard T-Boz’s voice come on and I was like, damn, I never noticed the lyrics to this song and how beautiful they were because it was an intro. When I heard it, I was like, man, me and [producer Noah “40” Shebib] could do something with this, and TLC used this as the intro on their album, so I used it as the intro on my mixtape. It’s track one and it’s a great song,†expressed Drake. “I love the words in it and I love how 40 flipped the beat, so I just decided to put it out and give people an idea of the direction the mixtape was going.â€
