“The Source: Talk about how you went about creating the track “Over.”
Boi-1da: Me and another producer by the name of Al-Khaaliq. He’s a dude that makes sample quality music that people think it’s a sample. Like “Over” sounds like a sample but it’s not a sample. I remember I was in L.A. in a meeting with Interscope and he sent it in my email. I put it in my headphones and I was like “Whoa, this is crazy I need to get on my laptop and get this working right now.” I went right to the studio and just flipped it, that night. Once I sent it to Drake, the rest was history.
The Source: How did you know this was the joint to step out with for Thank Me Later.
Boi-1da: That’s the way Drake envisioned himself coming out, it described exactly how he was feeling at this moment. You know, the first line, the hook, he comes out saying “I know way too many people in here that I didn’t no last year.” It’s explaining that his life, he has all these people around him now, but at the end of the day, he’s going to prevail, it’s not over yet. He has a lot more time to go, that’s what it is you know. He felt like this is the moment that he wanted to capture for his first single.
