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

Just tryna see both sides cause if you're gonna bring up reference tracks as proof that's not good enough cause I coulda recorded that shyt for all you know

thats the angle u wanna play? DJ Drama, Charlemagne, Flex all confirmed those references tracks. Now u wanna act like oh they might not even be real? Be real my nikka. Anyway, RICO and Know Yourself he's not credited so there's your proof that QM is a ghost. Also strong rumors from Drama and Flex and Charlemagne that Blessings reference track exists but probably will never be released due to politics.

If u really wanna play the whole "if you're gonna bring up reference tracks as proof that's not good enough cause I coulda recorded that shyt for all you know" then u need to stop asking questions on here and do some research. Fr fr

They were dead because they weren't studio level productions..they were reference tracks ..not finished products
lol @ these nikkas not understand such basic shyt. They really thought QM's reference tracks would be fully mastered quality:mjlol:

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



I'm neither a Drake supporter nor Drake detractor in this whole situation I'm just telling it like I see it. But it's evident some of yall just wanna spite Drake to spite him. And making whole new accounts to do it too :beli:

That's not the entire story.

She claimed to write and produce and got sued because she publicly said such



What's the point?
That those who are fans of Drakes are really fans of a sort of hip hop Broadway Play that WILL CERTAINLY have a CLOSING ACT, if he continues to defraud audiences...
That's not the entire story.

What's the point?
the point is that if you are a fan of his you may need to reflect on what HIP HOP means...and the fact that corporations can so easily put together a formula full of falsities and fantasies that will keep YOU ALL entertained. That is dangerous because that lets them know they can fake it on you guys in a lot of other ways also(trust it's all relative)

SO I GUESS THE POINT IS, DONT BE A FUKKING SIMP OUT HERE, AND APPLY REAL PRINCIPLES AND REQUIREMENTS TO WHO YOU ALLOW TO ENTERTAIN YOU...otherwise these same companies will throw any damn body out there for you to clap to(already happening)...basically behind closed doors they think ya'll clowns...Drake included...that's the point...FORCE STANDARDS OR HAVE NOTHING OF VALUE

Dre aint wrote a rhyme in years....Compton just came out and its PAINFULLY clear he ain't write shyt...where is the outrage for that? Kanye too. Lupe wrote Black Skinhead and no one said shyt. I'm just sayin nikkas need to be consistent.

Drake ain't my favorite but most of the hate for him is approaching a fanatical level.

Maybe it has something to do with Aubrey claiming to be an elite MC. But I think you probably saw that discussed on here already and you just like recycling the same arguments :pachaha:

Its not about the writers or producers.

Its about the artist.

Writers and producers typically get paid more than the artists anyhow..so
:manny:

If he can do this well with ghostwriters who are inferior to him inagine how unstoppable he will be once he writes everything himself. :wow:
Believe it or not...he could flop.

Happend to Vanilla Ice(fraud all around) Milli Vanilli (label puppets) and could happen to Drake.

Drake can be laffed out of rap circles and maybe considered a pop rap artist a la FloRida and Pitbull....which rhythmatic and r&b dont play...there goes the hood.

So you're just a casual fan.. Which is cool..But why do all you casual fans always forget that The Coli is a hip hop message board?

There are people here who actually love and care about the culture deeply.. I'm not gonna front like I'm one of them, but I'm not gonna question or condemn the ones that do..

If you want to be surrounded by the opinions of people who don't care, there's no shortage of options for you on the internet...

It's like going to a Nascar site and saying "Why yall always talking about engine parts and pit crews? I just like to see pretty cars go fast. Yall over thinking sh1t"


:skip:

This. :salute:

Dr. Dre is a PRODUCER. Everyone knew Dre didn't write since the 80's :mjpls: Eazy E didn't write neither.. E didn't even want to be a rapper. He wanted to stay behind the scenes.

Kanye... really? Again. he's more known as a producer and now he shoes. As far as being lyrical, hell fukking know. Not to mention Ye admits to it. Aubrey hasn't addressed NONE of this. He's letting his stans fight his battles for him.

Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
The Coli still pressed about Drake :russell:

News will probably come later to day saying he broke another record knowing y'all's track record. :russell:

I don't even disagree with you guys like that, but the fact that you're still arguing about this shyt weeks later, makes me wonder about some of you. :ld:
