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

[Ms. Elaine]

I know many of ya'll are gonna accuse me of but nah. I'm just tired of these lazy ass and downright dishonest arguments.

 

[Ms. Elaine]

40k is amazing for someone his age.

Money that was used to pay the rent mostly.




I can only imagine how broke most of ya'll are.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

On Degrassi, a public access show with a large cast. He was earning 40K a year.

I don't think u realize what broke actually means

If he's making 40k

Add that to his mothers income

They live in a house their uncle owns

That's not broke

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

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

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

Integrity, actual talent, and authenticity is irrelevant, dated and corny

I'm still in my 20s and I weep for the youth, no morals whatsoever. Bunch of snakes and scumbags

1) They weren't living there rent free.

2) She was a retired English teacher with health problems.

3) He was essentially the head of his household, financially.

So dudes entire career is a fraud? I knew about him paying his way into the game, but I always gave him some credit in regards to writing a good portion of his music. Come to find out he might be the biggest Millie Vanilli nikka ever.

Had to. I mean after a mixtape, you have songs with Mary J, Jay, Kanye, Jamie Foxx, Dj KHALED, Eminem, all before you drop an album?

He was in 2009-2010, where rappers grind and slave to get. Stadium performer after just a year. Even someone like Kanye who had #1 singles after number one singles, wasn't stadium status until sometime after 808s.

Even Jay wasn't stadium status until like 8 years.

Whole shyt just looks orchestrated in hindsight.

That's why he is singing now...they realize authenticity is an issue...r&b is survivable.

40k at 14 I would have been lit

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 .

His accomplishments will always have an asterisk, like an abbreviated NBA Season. He will NEVER be seen as one of the greats and his 'page in history' will be marred by these allegations. Iggy Azalea had a fanbase that broke records, too.

Y'all are really bugging if you think in the long run none of this shyt will matter.
