The song title is derived from the last line of the chorus I want this shit forever man. Rapper Jay-Z called it the best posse cut of the decade. The 2009 version of "Forever" features Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem. In an interview, Kardinal stated that his version was a leaked demo which was supposed to appear on his album Not 4 Sale, as well as a soundtrack. Kardinal did not use the song for his album and it was later re-sold to Drake, who released it in late 2008 as "I Want This Forever" featuring Lil Wayne and Kidd Kidd. The track was produced by Boi-1da and originally used by Kardinal Offishall featuring Rock City in early 2008, as "Bring It Back". A demo version of the song was leaked in mid-2008. Drake performed the song with Lil Wayne, Eminem, and Travis Barker at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards. Eminem performed his verse of the song at the American Music Awards of 2009.
The song was also placed on the re-release of Eminem's album Relapse, titled Relapse: Refill. The song is released as a single from the soundtrack to LeBron James's More than a Game documentary.
As of this morning, that certainly appears to be the case." Forever" is a single by rappers Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem. He also reportedly threatened to not make its followup a Tidal exclusive, if things between the artist and the service weren’t ironed out. West ultimately terminated exclusivity for Pablo a few months after its release, a year before it became the first album to go platinum from streaming-only. Earlier this month, a report surfaced claiming that it was behind on paying record labels, as well. West may have been among the most prominent artists to complain about Tidal royalty payments, but he certainly wasn’t alone. Last July, the embattled rapper reportedly claimed that the streaming service owed him “more than $3 million” over Pablo royalties, including a bonus from bringing “1.5 million new subscribers” to the service. Of course, West’s own relationship with Tidal (among other things) has been rocky, at best.
The move is a blow for the artist-owned music streaming service, which has amassed much of its fanbase by launching exclusives from top music acts like West and Tidal investor Jay-Z, who made his own 4:44 an exclusive on the service. This morning, its follow up, the simply titled ye, arrived on that service, Spotify and Apple Music all at the same time.
Back in 2016, Kanye West announced that his latest album be available exclusively on Tidal.
