Negro, okay, but do rappers usually give other rappers reference tracks with pre-made bars, flows and punchlines? Do the best rappers really do that?

Please stop comparing giving someone an idea for a hook or a concept to getting SEVERAL GHOST WRITTEN BARS ON A REFERENCE TRACK. It isn't the same thing.

It's like y'all are playing dumb on purpose because it's Drake.
It is the same thing in principle sir.

Drake is an actor. This allows him to mimic styles and flows. Like a method actor and those verses are like reading a script.
Never liked Drake as an artist and he always come across as cornball jew with a little black in him that tries to gain acceptance. But I still respected the work it put in (as an artist). But that's gone out the window. Fake Drake. Everything he put out has been a fraud. fukk if those songs became hits. He doesn't deserve credit at the end of the day because he didn't write it. Those aren't his words, and thus I can't respect it.

Drake capes out here really trying to compare having an editor and having someone write your lines, sing/rap them for you, then walk you through how it should sound.

To put things in its proper context, when Snoop got discovered all he could do was freestyle. He had to be taught the concepts of what a 16 was and cultivating a hook.
A producer will tell a rapper to shorten a verse or make it longer. It's all about making everything fit to construct an actual song. This doesn't apply to Fake Drake.
