The GOAT rapper Drake just released his latest classic album Scorpion. One of the songs is titled "Final Fantasy" and samples the series' legendary Prelude theme:




Drake's song:


Drake, arguably the biggest living superstar in music, could've sampled Fortnite, but instead he chose Final Fantasy because it's more relevant to him. He clearly seems to have been inspired by the truly majestic, beautiful, and incredible Final Fantasy XV (50% on Steam right now) in the last years:

This just shows me again that Hajime Tabata is a "tensai" (genius) who single-handedly revitalized the franchise and put it back on the map of the mainstream.


What do you think, ERA? Do you agree?


UPDATE:

Okay, the song doesn't actually sample FF's Prelude, it seems (see Xiofire's post above) :(

I guess the track has nothing to do with FF in the end and the name just happened to fit the song's context of Drake having sexual fantasies?


Fuck.

I think that Drake is a paragon of creativity and a champion of interactive entertainment second only to Paris Hilton.

He also sampled Sonic the Hedgehog 2006.


Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 is now the most relevant video game. We are blessed today.

Am I missing something here?

Where is the /s?

Nope & Nope.

Also i'm not sure how much of this is down to Drake and how much is down to Boi 1da, Noah Shebib & Jahaan Sweet who produced the beat. AFAIK Jahaan is big into video games so maybe it was his idea?

Anyway, cool that it happened, disappointed you didn't tinfoil hat that he named himself after the Final Fantasy enemy, Drake.

Most relevant ?
Nice joke.

He is big, but is is still just one person, and nothing compared to the millions upon million of people who find/make other IPs much more "Relevant".

One admittedly popular person making some marketing for a game does not make it the most relevant game all of a sudden.
