![]() ![]() You’re the real definition of never give up.” I’m just taking it as motivation just to keep going. What has the response been like since the song came out? Do you think this will open even more new doors and opportunities for you? I just see love. I don’t pay attention to niggas like that. ![]() ![]() Is there anything you want to say to him? No. People think the lyric was directed towards 6ix9ine. Why did you decide to include that in there? I said I hate rats. But he was like, “Talk your shit.” I was going bop bop.Īs you know, a lot of people are talking about the “rat” lyric. He was like, “Talk what you talk.” You know, when some people talk on the song they try to sound like who they’re on the song with. When you two were going back and forth over DMs, did you discuss the vision for the song? Just do you. I will fuck around and drop a freestyle now. But when I had left the studio, it was supposed to get mixed the next day. So that being a shorter version was on my end.Ī lot of people wanted your verse to be longer. This was around the time the studio was really tripping about COVID. So there were other verses that didn’t make the song? Oh, when I sang on the verse, I left. We did like two or three different verses just through FaceTime. They just sent me ideas, and I would send them ideas. So we went back and forth on the song and we shot the video like two days later.ĭid you go back and forth over the phone, or did you meet up in person? It started with DMs. When did Drake contact you for “Laugh Now Cry Later”? It was actually a one-day process. The interview, lightly edited for clarity, is below. ![]() And if you thought “Laugh Now Cry Later” was the only collaboration between him and Drake, think again.Ĭomplex caught up with Lil Durk to talk about his new collaboration with Drake, Just Cause Y’all Waited 2, and more. For now, he wants people to focus on the latest releases, but Durk says he has already started working on something new. He released the deluxe version at the end of June, and it’s still getting a lot of love. In addition to the “Laugh Now Cry Later,” Durk is still riding high from the success of his latest project, Just Cause Y’all Waited 2. Nothing is going to mess up his moment, though. So the “shorter version was on my end,” he says. He originally came up with two or three verses over FaceTime with Drake, but he says he left the studio a little too early during the recording process, and the song needed to be mixed the next day. In fact, he reveals that Drake wanted him to say more on the track. Durk says he’s heard a lot of positive feedback from fans, and the only real grievance is that his verse is shorter than what they would like. As an important figure in the Chicago drill scene in the early 2010s, and an innovator of melodic trap music over the past decade, he’s finally receiving his well-deserved flowers. The praise Durk has been receiving is long overdue. Asked if he has anything else to say to 6ix9ine, he replies, “I don’t play those games. While he’s short with his answer, Durk tells Complex that he wrote the lyric simply because he hates rats. But one bar in particular is catching a lot of attention: “Can you not play that lil’ boy in the club? Cause we do not listen to rats.” Of course, there was immediate speculation that he was firing shots at 6ix9ine, who cooperated with the feds in his 2018 criminal case. The Chicago rapper draws us in with a syrupy delivery and lyrics about showing Drake around the hood. But when it comes to the song itself, most fans are talking about Lil Durk. The accompanying video, which was shot in the Nike headquarters and stars high profile athletes like Kevin Durant, Odell Beckham Jr., and Marshawn Lynch, has already inspired countless viral memes on social media. Last week, Drake released “Laugh Now Cry Later,” the lead single from his forthcoming album, Certified Lover Boy. ![]()
