Drake earns Greatest Gainer honors on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as "Make Me Proud," featuring Nicki Minaj, blasts 50 spots from No. 94 to No. 44.

While stopping by L.A.'s Power 106 radio station yesterday (Oct. 31), Drake debuted a gem for the west coast, titled " The Motto," and T.I.'s remix to his Rap Songs No. 1, "Headlines."

 

"The Motto," featuring Lil Wayne, pays tribute to the Bay Area rapper, Mac Dre, who's seventh anniversary is today (Nov. 1). "'I'm in the building and I'm feelin' myself.' R.I.P. Mac Dre. I'mma do it for the bay," Drake rhymes on the hyphy T-Minus produced track.



Before premiering "The Motto," Drake took the opportunity to address the tracklist to "Take Care," which leaked yesterday. The Young Money rapper told Power 106 that the track list was "a little off." The leaked track list didn't mention the album's Kendrick Lamar feature, according to XXLMag.com.
