Who did it better?

Which one of these two deserved to have this song as their single?

So if you haven't heard of Rita Ora, let me give you a little background.  Signed to RocNation, this cute Albanian singer from London is the next R&B/Pop artist to hit it big.  With the help of Jay-Z she is releasing hits, one of them being "R.I.P" featuring Tinie Tempah.  Mama has been around for a minute now, I remember seeing pics of her when I first made my Tumblr a few years back.

R.I.P. - Rita Ora ft. Tinie Tempah

"R.I.P. to the girl you used to see, her days are over..."

Sound familiar?  Probably because you heard Drake sing the exact same thing on his song "I'm Ready For You" back in 2010.  He let Rita have the song, similar to when he gave Jamie Foxx "Fall For Your Type," which, if you didn't already know, was a huge hit.  The internet is saying Rihanna would have been on this song if Drake would've made it his single, or he would have just let her have the entire song to herself.  To add on to the rumors, Jay-Z may have given this song to Rita instead of Rihanna since she decided to make those songs with Chris Brown.  Just messy I tell you...

I'm Ready For You - Drake

I personally think both Drake & Rita did the song justice.  I could also see Rihanna singing some parts of this as well.  It's a nice little hit either way.  Watcha think?

*Quick little "Just Thought You'd Like to Know"-Rita was in Drake's "Over" video.*
