Drake first released “Taylor Made” on April 19 as the latest response in his ongoing feud with rapper Kendrick Lamar, whose appreciation for Snoop Dogg and Tupac is thought to be the reason Drake used recreations of their voices in his music.
Since “Taylor Made” was never officially released on streaming platforms, it's unclear whether Drake made a direct profit from the song's creation — something Tupac's estate would be legitimately concerned about. But the song was reposted all over the internet a long time ago, and it's one of the most notable examples of a musician playing with technology that other artists see as a threat to their careers.
