The same way artists have always gotten credit for songs they didn't write and produce. I mean, people have thrown around how having records written and produced for you in other genres doesn't apply to Hip Hop, well the same goes for hit records. A hit is a hit regardless of genre. Credit is given to the performer(s), the writer(s), and the producer(s). Casual music fans will only recognize the performer.
How does Drake get credit for "making hit records" when he doesn't write or produce?

A gangster novelty name and people think he is cool. no one puts him up thr with the real mc's...
 
Making hits yes no one is doubting that breh but a ghostwriter is not rap or hip hop. The music group Drake is a POP group. I thought this was a hip hop forum smh.
It's still music no doubt.. But it's not rap or hip hop....It's Pop music.
But y'all drake stans go ahead and cook just reasoning with u all is impossible.
THIS is what I don't get.
Writers/Producers don't get the credit they deserve... but that's neither hear not there. The fact that Drake gets a pass because he makes hit records contradicts the whole premise of him not writing his own music. SOMEONE ELSE is making the hit records. Drake just mimics someone's hits.
This isn't like R&B because a singers voice can change the whole make up of a song. Rap is different. Lyrics and hook instrumentals. Drake doesn't have the best voice, flow or delivery. In fact he borrows flows depending on what record he jumps on. So how does one get credit for "making hit hit records"
Lauren Hill caught back lash because it came out she didn't write/produce her debut record. She was never the same after that. I know I'm beating a dead horse but gotdam the ignorance is so blatant its hard not to go
Yeah, that was the reason Lauren Hill went absolutely crazy.

Why do people keep saying pac had people writing for him?
Everybody that knew him said he was able to write entire songs in minutes
I find it hard to believe he needed help with writing unless it was like hooks or something
