No point in even posting this. Niqqas will tell you he had a ghostwriter hidden somewhere :laugh:



"nah, Drake was just helping with the vibe...he ain't write" :laugh:

well it all depends on what your agenda is or how much you like him or if you can look at to objectively.
theres people that now believe he's wrote nothing or had help on every verse which i have no problem with because that doubt is now there.

i and would assume most people settle for the middle ground and believe he wrote stuff for himself but also acknowledge he has had help and even though he won't need a QM to write straight bars for him, we don't know know who might have helped him before (Nickelus F for example) so there is now that asterisk next to his name as a rapper.

i like his music, and i think he's a good to great rapper but does the writing thing bother me with him ? not really.
if it was rappers i loved it would hurt.

i do hope he wrote Fear though..just for;
"I could use a writer just to balance out my flows"





the video director Shomi said Drake used to be on Neptunes or Clipse message boards trying to spread his music and asking people like Shomi to be his manager or some shyt like that.

you would assume he had no help in those days.
unless he was getting verses off of textcees for some Degrassi dollars.

:ohhh:

Nickelus was around back them, used to textcee and do real battles. Had a decent buzz for a non-NY mixtape rapper, and also produced. Son used to be up in Canada heavy...and he's how i found out about Drake.
I KNOW BREH.
It's why I like Drake's music...and also why Drake is not a real rapper in the technical sense of:
Writing 16s by yourself
Participating in a "hip hop scene" from the open mics to the showcases
Battling
Cyphers.
Can't do any of that if you don't write bars or have confidence in yourself.

You're not showing me anything I wasn't aware of. I know Drake haters like to say "hush" writes the the whole songs for Drake as opposed to someone who just bounces ideas...based on nothing at all
You have to write at least 8 bars to get that type of writing credit unless you're a ghost-producer who didn't get credited for beats...like Wondagurl on Travis Scott's material. She is not a writer in any way, shape, or form.
Hush doesn't make beats...and "bouncing ideas" isn't credit worthy. Quentin Miller wasn't credited on RICO and he wrote DRAKE'S WHOLE VERSE.

Thanks for coming and crushin them buildings breh.
No battles coming up, no videos in the studio, paid actor before getting into music, no lyric books/pages/anything, no grind to come up. Just swagger jackin Canadins and textcees.

So do you think he wrote this joint thank me now or was that Hish or Nicholas or whoever the fukk?

ive seen Hov in the process of making a song. Its clear as day he dont got ghost writers. I wanna see Drake in the process



This is what Drake did on some songs on his mixtape, but obviously a lot more direct.
The reason to why no rappers has commented negatively on Drakes situation must be cause they've done the same thing to some capacity at least once or twice. Snoop just flat out said that they all used to do that over at Death Row.
