7mile to SE & Uptown!
Ghostface said Rae wrote all of it. Stop moving the goal posts.
That is not no damn ghostwriting. That's Rae setting up his concept and including Ghost in that shyt. Ghost was a PERFORMER on that song. 2 totally different concept.
anyone who honestly has a problem with reference tracks has never made music in a studio

this is a common practice

but whatever, hip hop fans gonna hip hop
nikka no it's not. I been a studio engineer for 15 years and a writer/performer for even longer and it is NOT standard practice for one nikka to record a track and then the next nikka study it and try to imitate it. That's some girl gay shyt for real. Yeah nikkas probably are done it but from a true hip hop standpoint it's frowned upon...point blank.
but ghostwriting is ghostwriting...aint that what all the "hip-hop heads" on here been sayin? :what:

if we mad at drake for havin other nikkas write hooks and lines for some of his songs, why does ghost get a pass for raekwon doin the same for him
come on man...first thing where you wrong is it wasn't for Ghost's album...it was RAE'S concept for his shyt. And are you guys REALLY trying to compare Drake/Quentin cookie cutter a-b-c songs to OBFCL'S?!?? :dahell: Really
Really

Really

hip hop is dead :mjcry:

1. how did drake try to cover it up? the man's name in the credits and liner notes :dwillhuh:

2. so if drake admitted he had quentin write whole verses/songs for him like ghost did in this interview, it would be cool?

1. How didn't he? We had no idea who QM was, or what he did, until the references leaked. When "running through the 6 with my woes" blew up nobody was like "QM did it again man!"....Drake got all the credit. He would continue to get all the credit too, if not for the leaks.

Then the reference tracks were wiped off the 'net as soon as they popped up, for obvious reasons. This is not the action of someone with nothing to hide.

2. Yes. I've said this 1000x since this started. This is my main beef with this entire situation.

long as yeen find him in a bakery it's coo

According to thecoli as long as your day 1 friends write for you it's cool :heh:

Ghost spit a verse, written by Rae on Rae's album at Rae's request.

LOL

How is this the same as

Drake spit a verse, written by QM, on Drake's album at Drake's request?

You're trying to compare Ghost to Drake in this scenario when you should be comparing Rae and Drake

you flat tops said taking ghostwritten bars is wrong
you didn't say shyt about requests

now you wanna put a bunch of extra conditions on it now that flabface is exposed :flabbynsick:

add another to the list:

if you were asked to spit ghostwritten bars it's ok

so far:

if they're friends it's ok
if they're in a group it's ok
if they write for each other it's ok
if a white female points it out it's ok

"Taking a turn for the worst"

Lol at you thinking me talking about ghost writers in corporate hip hop means I'm happy hip hop is "taking a turn for the worst". Bet you're the same kinda poster who's been saying hip hop is dead tho lol

he is on every other song tho :manny:

Why isn't he credited on R.I.C.O.? You might say "who gives a fukk how it came to be" but if you're paying for someone's work, you want it to be their work. Where Meek looked like an idiot is he said "fukk it" and put the song on the album anyway. But in my eyes, if I'm paying a nikka to paint my house and then he has some other nikka paint my house I'm gonna be like :dwillhuh:
