Legendary R&B group The O'Jays hit it big with this track. 'Summer Sixteen' samples 'Glass Tubes' by Brian Bennett

Following Meek's swift response, they have continued feuding since. Used to promote 'Views', 'Summer Sixteen' caused a stir in the Hip-Hop world as the song acted as a diss track towards Tory Lanez and Meek Mill. It also samples 'It's My Party' by Lesley Goreĭrake reworked some lyrics from 'It’s My Party' into 'Take Care' - “It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to / Can't deny that I want you / But I'll lie if I have to,” the rapper sings. With the help of Jamie xx himself, Drake managed to turn the English producer's remix of Gil Scott-Heron's 'I'll Take Care Of U' cover into an R&B classic. 'Take Care' samples 'I'll Take Care of U (Remix)' by Jamie xx and Gil Scott-Heron But 'Take Care' isn't actually a truly original song. Five years on, and the relationship rumours are still flying, with the pair even getting matching shark tattoos. 'Take Care' marked the second collaboration between Drake and Rihanna. This ambient piece runs through 'Started From The Bottom', adding to the atmosphere and consistent tone of the track. 'Work' samples 'Sail Away' by Richie Stephens and Mikey 2000 Along with it's infectious beat and raunchy video, there's also a rather special sample that helps add to the track's iconic status. Hip-Hop's ultimate OTP teamed up earlier in the year for this Dancehall banger. The star admitted that she struggled to 'play it cool' when she heard Drake had used her voice on 'Poundcake'. Yep, that heavenly vocal sample is from none other than Brit-pop singer Ellie Goulding. 'Poundcake' samples 'Don't Say A Word' by Ellie Goulding But there is also an unlikely guest appearance from this track's featured singer. Taken from Drake's third studio album 'Nothing Was The Same', the rapper enlisted the help of Jay for 'Poundcake'. Timmy Thomas provides the hooky melody and funky bassline, contributing to the song's success. This 70's soul anthem runs through the entire track. 'Hotline Bling' samples 'Why Can't We Live Together' by Timmy Thomas However something that isn't commonly recognised, is the sample used throughout. The video went viral due to Drake's 'dad dancing', which sparked thousands of internet memes.

First up is Drizzy's 2015 smash hit 'Hotline Bling'.
