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

[feelosofer]

And?

You guys act like you're saying something new or something.

People been saying that since 08. We all know Drake never started from the proverbial bottom and that he got a head start due to his connections.

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

THIS X 1000

Anyone who isn't retarded knew before Meek said anything that Drake didn't exclusively write all his shyt, who cares though?

As long as the music is hot everything else is irrelevant, just goes to show that people buy into the person more than they do the music

Also whatever this post is has literally no legitimacy

Its ok when its not hiphop. With Pop music you can bite and fake it all day be exposed and be ok. You are %100 correct on this.

I am going to say this an I know people are not going to like it.

Even if Drake bought his way into the game who cares at this point.Its 2016 and if fans didn't care about him writing shyt they are not going to care about this. He has a fan base he broke a lot of records helped shaped a new sound. At the end of all of this he is going to have a page in history. Do I like that a lot of rules I grew up on are broken no. But those are the facts .

I think the overall point is that the music has lost authenticity when some one calls you out and you address everything else but that. I understand Becky and Todd put money in Drake and Eminems pockets today. But Pop fans and money didnt create hiphop, and neither will ever be the over all authority when it comes to the music. And to be honest even if its my and the generation before's fault for not educating and puting on the younger generation the way it should have been done, especially in Nyc, the music is still on its way to hell...

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.

all I know is aint none of these nikkas going to tell me I am somehow a less or a "real" hop fan cause I don't think he is a complete fraud..

Smh the more I find out about cuz he more y'all make me dislike him


Why can't we just focus on the music

And I try to put all this shyt behind when he drop some hot shyt but it's getting too difficult I neva liked a fraud ass nikka and I won't conform now.. Smh I wished hip hop was like it was he woulda been finished for that fukk boy shyt

 

[rapbeats]

To get paid. Period.
I doubt son even cares about all that legacy shyt. Just wanted to cash out. Which he did

wrong. he cares about both. he wanted to get in the game to say to himself and others "I MADE IT, I'M a HUGE RAP STAR." now he can almost say loook at that sprite billboard, "I'm a legend."

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

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

Define the term real music? It's Music that you... Wrote yourself? Meek is considered real because he... Writes his own lyrics? It's really not that hard to understand.

No one in here is calling drake a fraud because of the content of the bars, but because he doesn't write them. That whole bs you just wrote about 'Oh so Meek is Real because he talks about crack and stunting all day?!' is You either a cac or one of those c00ns that was picked on growing up for not being *hood* enough or *black* enough or for being into anime or some shyt and now you have a chip on your shoulder towards other Black folks. I can spot that shyt a mile away

Matter fact, neg

 

[rapbeats]

way to ignore my examples of MC's who claim to be writers writers that have used or been accused of using ghostwriters

Also get out of here with that old nikka "Real hip hop" mentality, that shyt is dated and corny as fukk

naw its not dated or corney when someone asks for someone to be a legit mcee, when they are claiming to be the best at it or one of the best at it. you can't be the best at something when you only re-read other people's words. i could like your overall music like you're a cover band or something. but thats about it. sorry hiphop was born out of originality, and dudes being creative(meaning they created their own stuff from their own thoughts). now granted we know if you have a long enough career you will have a verse or two written for you. or a concept or 3 will be passed your way. Thats not what this is. we're talking about a fraud. simple as that. fraud city. again if he admitted to all of this. that would be fine. but he hasnt for a reason.

 

[8WON6]

i've always wanted to ask: Why do rap fans have this strong need for their guy/group to be the top act? If your favorite artists make music you like why don't you just enjoy that? Why is there such a need to tear down other rappers to build up your guy? Like nikkas is really 13 pages deep debating the same exact Drake arguments from years ago...still trying to "win". I just don't get it.

People really in here acting like this concept has them

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT AUTHENTIC UNLESS HE WROTE IT HIMSELF?! NAH THAT'S CORNY FAM"

The small circle of Drakes dikkriding haters are incredibly hurt

It's a bytch when no one cares about what you claim, so you convince each other instead .


It's cool and respectable when rappers pay themselves into the game with drug dealer connects and drug money but it's frowned upon when you use your clean money you made through a clean job. Silly cats

 

[Meowth tote da Uzi]

nikkaas got so caught up in the Drake wave they forgot this man is an actor...ACTOR...dude been faking the funk for so long people just accept it.

wrong. jay did it. he admitted it, so did dame. they was all up on that payola with that shady money. they admitted they got turned down by everyone and built their own thing. all this was admitted from the jump and was never denied. drake on the other hand has never admitted to any of this. i wonder why?

this is the problem if you're honest about it. it is what it is. pay to play. thats fine.
