It doesn’t in fact quote the June 27 freestyle, rather Pimp Tha Pen by Lil Keke
The sample is not “Swangin' & Bangin,‘” it’s “Sailin’ Da South” by E.S.G. which was the intro on DJ Screw’s 3 N Tha Mornin' — Part II tape.
In the intro and later on in the song Drake sings: “Call up on drank and let’s… let’s call up..” This is both a reference to one of DJ Screw’s Grey tapes (Call Up On Drank: Fat Pat’s Personal Tape) and to his song Marvin’s Room.
On the October’s Very Own blog in 2011, Drizzy himself posted a link to Fat Pat & Mike D’s freestyle from Call Up On Drank, captioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4Wy8I4Evd0w
This has inspired Take Care. RIP Pat. RIP Screw.

A classic line, first put down by Big Daddy Kane, who said this on what was arguably his most popular song, “Ain’t No Half Stepping”
should be added to the Many Nicknames of Lil Wayne blog post
Also a possible reference to “Underground Kings” off Drake’s new album “Take Care.”
Truthfully, Rocky is very successfully the best of both worlds. Since he’s from the hood, he grew up in the strife that many rappers speak on, as many of New York’s neighborhoods are violent (Harlem is no exception). Similarly, is truly a missionary as he touches many demographics of hip-hop fans. Honestly, I don’t think Rakim could ever possibly fathom the scope of his music, but I feel he never fails to appreciate it for he remains true to himself and real with all of his fans
