Major Distribution
Featuring 21 Savage
"Major Distribution" is the second track on Her Loss, a trap cut produced by SkipOnDaBeat that samples Elijah Fox's 'East Village.' The title's double meaning, a major-label distribution deal and the street sense of moving product, sets a track on which Drake and 21 Savage trade verses over a tense piano loop. Drake raps about industry success, a three-hour dinner with someone lying to him, and buying a Mercedes-Benz 'out of spite'; 21 Savage details real trauma and a distrust of police. The song features uncredited humming from Lil Yachty and a beat switch. NPR's Sam Hockley-Smith argued that 'for all Drake's enthusiasm and looseness, it's 21 Savage who steals the show,' his concerns 'real and serious, not imagined or shallow,' against a Drake who 'will never, ever be happy.'
