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

[O.G.B]

You do know Drake was/is a ghostwriter as well... Right?

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

 

[wingstop]

Bruh... He's written for Wayne and was hired to write for Detox back in the day... Amongst other things in sure. Go sit down

The only song that we know he's written for wayne is "im SIngle" or some shyt like that.

are you stupid? How does this mean he doesnt use writers too? Your comment had nothing to do with what i originally said. Like i said a lot of ghostwriters arent great performers so thats why they dont blow up. Go sit down

 

[Wacky D]

we've been on here telling yall this chit since '08-09.

but yall dismissed us as haters.

these late drake & Kendrick threads are funny. cant wait until yall wake up and start questioning j.cole.

I can confirm the Richie Sosa story. Dude was a rapper from Toronto, he went broke for a minute and worked at Foot Locker. But he got on some Lexus commercials recently

 

[Rice N Beans]

Toronto frauding the industry.

 

[Versa]

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.

Drake lived in his mother's basement, in a house that his uncle owned.

You don't have to live in the hood to be struggling financially.


And Drake has spoken a lot about putting up a front even though his accounts were in the minus.


Try again...


F- for non-effort.

While working as a child star on a tv show....come on!

There's video evidence, nikka.

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.

Money that was used to pay the rent mostly.




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

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.

 

[Cynic]

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.

First heard of him on Concreteloop in 07 ...I didn't think much of it
except I like Trey and this guy is just okay. Nothing special.



Then this dropped ...I only checked it since I like Little Brother



It was just the perfect combination of timing and drive...

I never thought I'd see a corny sensitive Canadian runnin rap

 

[Slaimon Khan Shah]

Drake is fake.

 

[Originalgangsta317]

If he did do this,then its corny,but at the same time biggest hustle ever

Whatever money he spent getting into the game, he got back and then some

 

[MufasaChoppa]

this dude pulled off the biggest finesse in hip hop history

cant hate on the finesse

[Metal Face]

[Redwing80]

Him constantly reinvesting profits into his product and marketing (ovo label, producers, ghostwriters, tents, sleeping bags etc.)
