The album is also notable for its creative use of samples. "Tuscan Leather" famously samples Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" and a live recording of Curtis Mayfield. The dissonant piano chords of "Started From the Bottom" are a sample of Argentinian composer Bruno Sanfilippo's "Ambessence Piano & Drones", and "Wu-Tang Forever" cleverly incorporates a beat from Toronto producer Jeremy "Zodiac" Rose alongside a sample of the Wu-Tang Clan's own "It's Yourz". These samples, ranging from Whitney Houston to Wu-Tang Clan, display Drake's ability to take diverse inspirations and create his own contemporary classic.
