Used To
Featuring Lil Wayne
'Used To' pairs Drake with Lil Wayne, the artist who signed him to Young Money and remained one of his closest collaborators. Over Vinylz production, the song is widely read as a then-and-now flex: both rappers measure their current wealth and status against humbler beginnings, with the title phrase anchoring a structure built on contrast. The pairing carries weight beyond the bars, given the long mentor-protege relationship between the two and the fact that this came during a turbulent period in Wayne's own career. The track reads as a show of loyalty and shared history as much as a flex, a reminder that Drake's ascent is intertwined with the figure who first elevated him.
