Hush wasn't working with Drake in the Thank Me Later era...
Who IN THE GAME. Has had ghost writers. Who has claimed to be the best MC, for years, claimed to have the best pen for years, claimed to be so ahead of everyone for years, had their biggest claim to fame be their writing ability, only to find out it's not real? Who else?
So what nikka semantics some legends have come out and admitted to having writers. Scarface, Snoop, Twista, Ice Cube, Common.

A bunch of others have been accused or it's been revealed they used someone else's song. At the end of the day what does any of this have to do with musical quality and whether shyt sounds dope?

:francis: I think Drake credits who he works with

He credits his bottom bytch, sure. He has to, he knows where all the reference tracks are buried.

Low level tent slaves get put on retainer for chump change :mjlol:

90% of online rap forum geeks you mean. The average person outside couldn't care less
Nah, the average Drake Stan could are less...listeners aren't even speculating anymore...it's preconceived thought at this point. And everyone is in forums at this point now too, even the artists we post about, whether it be ig, fb, this, twitter, etc.....

Because regardless if you think it's dope, there are people who he shouldn't be put up against. He shouldn't be on certain lists with certain people. I just said that I love this track. And I do. Definitely in my top 10 Drake tracks. What I'm saying, give him and people like him his own area to occupy.

When you and stans like you, say "just enjoy the music" then at the same time highlight lyrics to showcase his "lyrical prowess" you are not only contradicting yourself, you are also hurting other artists.

Let's enjoy Drake music. But keep him out of Hip Hop discussions and let's keep him off of Best MC lists. Stack him up against other entertainers.

The other part is, writing is a big part of the genre and it'll always be. It's just the way it is.
