Surely you didn’t think Ms. Lauryn Hill — who famously prohibited Kanye from sampling her vocals on “All Falls Down†(in retrospect, maybe she knew something we didn’t?) — would just let Drake use her music for his “Nice for What†beat without reminding us who’s boss? During Hill’s set at the Apollo Monday night, the legend jumped out: “See this is ‘Ex-Factor’/He took the sample/My shit is classic/Here’s an example,†she sang, in place of Drake’s regular chorus. “Stop acting like you didn’t grow up singing my songs,†Hill rapped. “I swooped down on the bitch like I had wings on my arms.†The Boy made a song celebrating women, and now he’s been rightly put in his place.
