How does Drake get credit for "making hit records" when he doesn't write or produce?

There are NO songs on that ALBUM (officially released on cash money records) with credits listed as Aubrey Graham alone, friend.

It's an album. A mixtape has a dj, scratching, rhymes over other peoples' beats called "freestyles"...rewinds, a screaming nikka...etc
Drake's idea of a mixtape must be other nikkas' rhymes over original beats, released on record label for profit...
Songs being performed on tour in album format. Investment being put into radio promotion.
You're upset.

:what:

U trolling my nikka?
You're using retarded shifting language like "Almost 100%"
Stop playing with percentages and moving goalposts. Another man wrote the songs and had the DELIVERY and CADENCE ready for imitation. Drake is a studio rapper and singer...he is a trained actor, that helps him perform and memorize lines written by other people.
He's not a hip hop artist. He's not an MC.
I care about hip hop...What is drake? R&B? Is he a nonwriting trey songs with a studio magic voice that raps a lot more? Yes...He's the beyonce of rap. Beyonce didn't write her shyt, either...people thought she did.

So if I wrote 90% what does that change in my point? Even the cadences that you point out aren't used for the majority of the verse.... But I'll let you tell it

Those coproduction credits...it's like there's a factory making this nikka's music and all he has to do is get in the booth. Spit another nikka's raps.
Boi 1da got lil nikkas and chicks doing beats...
40 has co engineers....

What would happen if you put drake by himself in a room with boi 1da...no phones to call for writers...just pen and pad...and beat machine.

NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN.

:what:

it's a reference, genius. It's not supposed to sound like a finished product.

There's no compression, no EQ, no reverb.....nothing. It's a dry reference track. it's a reference of how to do it.

Yeah a reference track won't be a perfectly clear and boisterous version of the song but the rapper still sounds like himself and isn't mumbling like he's half asleep like QM was. Matter of fact a reference track probably would likely show the rapper how to deliver the lines as well










None of these sound as lifeless as QM's reference tracks were. There's no mixing or reverb done on these songs neither

Those are producers, sampled artists and featured artists dumb ass. PND has two solo songs on the project too. Do you clearly not see Drake wrote You & The 6, Madonna, Now & Forever, Energy, How About Now among other tracks...

And was it you who just switched the If You're Reading This It's Too Late article on Wiki from mixtape to album that's how much you got invested in this :dead:
