During a Twitter rant last December, Kanye West revealed that Drake reached out to someone on his team to request a sample clearance for “Say You Will,” a track from his 2008 album, '808s & Heartbreak.' Drake used the beat from Kanye’s “Say You Will” for “Say What’s Real,” a standout cut from his seminal 2009 mixtape, 'So Far Gone.' Kanye claimed he denied the clearance, but it’s notable that Drake would ask to clear a sample for that song when he and West weren’t seeing eye to eye.
