As much as I like this song and his music (for the most part, views is still average to me) it's fukked up that whenever drake drops a dope song where he kinda goes in all everyone wants to do is argue on which person in his camp wrote it lol.

Anyway you look at it the ghostwriter shyt really fukked his image up amongst rap fans, he's still at the top sales/popularity wise and I still think he will be for at least a few more years, pretty much because the average person doesn't care who wrote it long as they like it..but unfortunately he'll never be placed in "that" discussion with the rest imo.
The only people who think Drake doesn't write his shyt are people who never liked him anyway so I really can't say I agree with this assessment. The limited evidence that is out there certainly isn't enough to support that conclusion.

Well, you're a dumbass, lol.

He's been in the game too long to not be fully exposed by now if that was the case.

If we were to have a serious discussion of Drake's mc abilities, I feel that a lot of people would get their feelings hurt. Because if you take away the star power, he couldn't stand with anyone who I consider top tier of mc'ng,imo.
I was going to write out a cohesive rational response why it is okay to consider Drake a top entertainer & a lackluster mc, but this video sums it up for me perfectly why Drake shouldn't be considered a GOAT mc in hip hop history. This Drake parody I feel sums up the feelings of most of the judgemental side of Hip hop listeners. If it wasn't a parody, we'd see the emoji owls w/ cigars/drake laughing etc celebrating the greatness of this song and quoting lines from it & how "Drake is unstoppable"


Exactly, makes great music for the most part, but he definitely isn't top tier as an mc

Nickelus F ain't say that shyt he praised Drake's abilities as an MC and said he only did one verse won't reveal...

He said he helped write a hook on "Room For Improvement"....which was Drake's first mixtape. Which is what I said.

He said he wrote at least one whole verse on "Take Care", which wasn't credited. When asked does he write parts of other verses he said:

Nickelus F: Yeah, I've done that. I know the rumor going around. I don't want anything I say to be misconstrued. I helped out, you know.

Interview: Nickelus F Talks Exterminator Day Job, Discovering Portishead, & Writing For Drake

I'm :dead: that the original dude said "what is it, besides some hooks?"

Now it's "what is it besides some hooks, partial verses, and an entire verse?"

Never mind Hush having writing credits on 90% of the songs, too. Like I said, just enjoy the music.

Fred.
