    Lil Durk’s verse on Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” was short due to studios closing early during the pandemic

    Drake told Durk he wanted eight more bars on the song, but was on a time crunch during the 2020 pandemic wave

    Criticism floated around the internet when Lil Durk’s verse on Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” hit streaming platforms. However, it wasn’t because he had a bad verse, but very much due to the fact that it wasn’t lengthy.

    During the FULL SEND PODCAST, Durk, 29, breaks down why his verse was so short. He stated the entire process of the song happened rather quickly because of the pandemic and studio restrictions.

    “I ain’t gonna lie, I need it tonight,” Durk said Drake told him during a facetime call, as he played the song for him. “It was the beginning of the pandemic so it was like the studio closing down early… He on a time schedule. He was like ‘I need it back right now. I did some quick ass s**t. I left the studio, and he called me back, like, ‘man this s**t hard, put eight more bars on it. Ima drop it ASAP. I was telling him like, ‘the studio closed cause of the pandemic.”

    Durk said, “that was like the best eight bars I did, ever in my life.”

    During the first week of November, the song shot to the top of the Billboard charts to take the number one spot.

    Harlow, 24, dropped his single “Nail Tech” in February, to which he says, “It’s probably my least favorite song on the album,” in a recent interview with Rolling Stone.

    He has a point to prove that extends past his past hit of “Whats Poppin.” He’s not looking to be a for-the-moment artist, he’s looking years ahead at his potential.

    “I want to be the face of my shit, like the face of my generation, for these next 10 years. We need more people in my generation that are trying to be the best, and you can’t do that with just ear candy, vibe records. You got to come out swinging sometimes. . . . My new shit is much more serious. Right now, my message is letting muh’fuckers know I love hip-hop, and I’m one of the best in my generation. You can’t do that with nonchalant, like, ‘Eeey, I got the bitches,’ in clever ways over and over again. I got to dig deeper this time.”
