Drake paid his way into the industry. UPDATED with quotes from 40 denying the ghostwriting

[Rayzah]

a source with knowledge

It doesn't bother me that dudes on here genuinely don't like this dude, that's fine..... But these nikkas think they are on some type of higher level of fandom because they THINK that writing is THAT important.. Like if you disagree that drake isn't hated and kicked out of the game you aren't a real fan and you are a CAC from the suburbs, your hip hop fandom is now under review like I cant like a guy like Drake, Dre, or whoever that isn't nas with the pen and still turn around and like Nas, Jay, wu or whoever....


Look why don't we put so much energy into hating on these new wack nikkas? Future, fetty, thug (insert one hit wonder of the year)? They the ones that need writers and vocal coaches lol....

Think having ghostwriters as a rapper isn't whack, brehs

Pretend one of the main reasons real hip hop fans love the art form isn't because of the immense talent, passion, and creativity displayed through an emcee's pen game, brehs.

no, "real hip hop fans" never thought drake was an amazing writer, and neither are his "ghostwriters" it was NEVER his appeal to any "real hip hop fan" that's likes his music...

drake has no buzz anymore

he's washed up

he overexposed his already overexposed career with that whole internet beef

that was his peak

 

[Unknown Poster]

Drake and his fanbase represent everything I fukking HATE about hip-hop right now.

A bunch of fake bandwagon dikkriders with no authenticity or credibility buying their way into the game then telling people how to think and what to think about the artform/culture they have been involved with since the beginning.

All this shyt is funny to me because back when he first came out and nikkas would say he was corny, gay, a herb, etc the only thing people would fall back on was saying that his music was "real", personal, and something we could all relate to. Whenever people personally came at him he would say "never the flow though". Come to find out all his personal lyrics were written by a gang of nikkas. All his flows were sharked. All his real lyrics were strong armed from other nikkas. You cant make this shyt up

I went to a club laat weekend. The dj was playin hotline bling and a group of girls started chanting no more drake... And the dj w switched it to real music... But i guess people in real life dont care...

1.) No one EVER considered Dre to be a dope rapper. He was ALWAYS regarded as a great producer
2.) Eazy is definitely a pioneer...but was NEVER seen as a dope lyricist. Doesn't mean he wasn't an icon
3.) ODB, though loved by the entire hip hop world, was never seen as a top tier lyricist. he wasn't even seen as the best lyricist in the group
4.) Those claims came out to be false from M-1 and Jay Electronica. Unless you wholeheartedly believe the words of a well known jigga stan (in which case I'm sure you do cuz it'll help your claim or whatever point you trying to make)
5.) Referring back to the points 1-3. None of those artists ever paraded their pen game around, or claimed to be the BEST MC.

if you don't care about the MCs nd you just care about a final product then cool. more power to you. But just cuz YOU don't care doesn't mean that WRITING YOUR OWN RHYMES is not a cardinal rule in Hip Hop. The fact we gotta have this convo is proof enough how far the artform fell.

So what's the source on this dumbass article? When was this written? I wanna say last year, but the part that kills me is where it says breh "ran out of money last year"... like :jayhuh: he ran outta money? How? How he run out of money when he's been on top since 2011 after take care dropped? but y'all nikkas eat up any and everything negative about dude and take it all as gospel. shyts comedy.

 

[KOohbt]

This a hip-hop message board. Every single poster cares about if the rappers writing. Until Drake got outted. Now all of the sudden a bunch of homosexual posters are pushing for frauds to be accepted as great. This shyt should is disgusting


Now they all salty cause Drake isn't respected on the board anymore.

He's the butt of the joke on this forum



It ain't gonna change fakkits

I went to a club this weekend. The dj was playin hotline blitng and a group of girls started chanting no more drake... And the dj w switched it to real music... But i guess people in real life dont care...

Okay and?

I consult a number of club deejays and each one of them got at least 4 Drake tracks in thier playlist

Hell u cant turn on the radio without hearing a DRAKE or DRAKE related song in regular rotation every hour whether its an URBAN...CHR.. or ADULT CONTEMPORARY station

so regardless If he "Paid" his way into the game...

the MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED AND DUDE IS WINNING

also PLEASE DEFINE THE TERM REAL MUSIC?!?!

Cause Iim confused last time checked it was just about BARS N HOOKS?

so MEEK MILLS makes REAL MUSIC cause he talks about CRACK and STUNTING all day?!?

alot of u pseudo hip hop purits need to reevaluate your perspective on this genre

its NOT what u ASSUME It to be

trust me i know ive been a CONSUMER of this PRODUCT known as HIP HOP since 1987

the GAME is to be SOLD not TOLD

 

[EndDomination]

This is BS from the start, nobody on Degrassi was making more than 40k a season, not playing a long-running (middle school to college) character.

 

[mr.africa]

Evidently not a very good one because he can't even write his own songs which proves my point!

Thugga is better than drake

Nah, as corny as most hip hop heads thought Drake was, at the very least, most never questioned he was a legitimate emcee who penned his own bars. Now that I know he's a fraud, he can't even get that from me.
