Juvenile Co-Signs Drake’s “Back That Azz Up” Remake

Juve The Great is creeping back on the scene, especially with his new single hitting the airwaves, but he’s definitely floating in the air again thanks to the Take Care leak on Sunday. Towards the end of the album, Drake surprisingly covered one of his most famous songs “Back That Azz Up” on the song “Practice”. In an interview with XXL, it seems that rapper Juvenile approves of this new record:

“I’m kind of flattered that it was Drake and that it’s an R&B song,” he said. “I never pictured it to be used that way but he did a great job with it, man.”
Juvie, Cash Money’s marquee artist back in the 1990s, said he first heard the song about a month ago when Cash Money parent label Universal contacted him about clearing the sample.
“We started going through the clearance process and stuff like that,” he said, “and when I heard it I was impressed because I really thought that ‘Back That Azz Up’ was a hard song to remake. The fact that he took it somewhere else, I think it was big. I like that. “
