i swear this point is going over peoples heads. the whole argument is you can't be a top mc if you not writing. how hard is this for nikkas to understand
The entire genre turned into Drake groupies. The same people who would have shytted on you 2-3 years ago are silent as fukk. People are afraid to speak up and speak out. It's sad as hell. Even the so called journalist of hip hop have remained silent.
This is probably the biggest story in hip hop and nobody will touch on it honestly.

thats politically correct for him.. Being as tho he wrote for others in NWA. He's not gonna tarnish his brothers (Dre and Eazy)
but, in his heart, he agrees with the REAL hip hop purists.. WRITE YOUR OWN SHYT.
Drake and QM ouchea on some Ventriloquist shyt..
HARLEM AL
Your broad loves me.....
shyt is out of this world.
Of course Ghostwriting has always been around and nikkaz writing others rap has been done. That's not the issue.
The issue is wanting to respected as an MC when you don't write your shyt. Obviously Aubrey wants that respect but now he won't get that. While it doesn't make him any less successful, he has lost respect in many cats eyes.

Del wrote for Cube too, Cube is the wrong brotha to ask about this
Del flat out denied he wrote for Cube. Laughed at the notion because Cube taught him how to rap.
Del the Funky Homosapien Recalls the Past, Skips Nostalgia
He said there would be a bunch of them in a room together, and if someone came up with the basis for a hook or a line it would be worked on.

As far as the Cube quote, and this goes for 50 Cent too....
These little soundbite interviews need to be expanded on. Because Cube obviously feels a certain way about authenticity in relation to having a ghostwriter, which is what he was saying. But instead of asking him to go into depth, they moved onto the next person.
The same with 50. He got asked about this, he said "ok, if ghostwriting is bad then you gotta erase Puffy and Dr. Dre"....which is a valid point except nobody pointed out that Drake never put himself in the Puff/Dre category. Again, they should've asked him to elaborate.
Instead of asking "does it matter" they need to ask "can a rapper be taken seriously as a GOAT contender and/or known for his pen game if he didn't write the lyrics?"....which is what I've been saying since last week. Obviously ghostwriting doesn't matter, if it did I would've never given Eazy-E a chance.

Tell us what we already know brehs
Cube said enuff to not get himself knocked out if my top 3
He ghostwrote most of Eazy album,of course it didnt matter....and it didnt matter to nikkas listening to Eazy E,im still a fan....but the extra points Cubes talkin about is what puts you in proper perspective as an emcee....does it not even matter to yall how much Drake writes?
lets say he only writes 50% of his songs and 30% of his hits?it doesnt matter
I haven't seen ANYBODY say that ghostwriting is uncommon.
That's Drake stans trying to point the finger at everybody else because he got caught with another mans hand up his ass all while trying to gain credibility as a EMCEE.
Any of the supposed "flat top" "real heads" blah blah blah know what the deal is. Ghostwriting has been around from the JUMP, and so has been separating the wheat from the chaff when we start talking about who are the GREAT EMCEES in this culture.
Drake is now exempt from that conversation. Meep was except whether he uses ghost writers or not.
And as much as I love Cube he's been a sell out, not expecting him to switch it up now especially on a promo run involving the history on a group where it was mostly 2 people penning everybodies rhymes...he'd essentially be saying "fukk them, I deserve all the credit" to 2/3 of everybody involved
Taking series by who? Seen as GOAT by who?
There is no consensus on anything in rap
Why would someone else care about who YOU took serius?
all these people trying to qualify Cube comments When last week you dymbasses were telling me the #1 unwritten rule/ forbidden fruit was having someone else write your rhymes.
Back when rap was "real" you would Get kicked out of the culture if someone didn't write
Now all I see is a bu bu bu cube really meant this...
These nikkas retarded breh, there probably no artist out there that has not had a track co-written

You related to Aubrey or somethin?
Dre, Easy, Kanye, others have had mufukkaz writing for them. This has always been known. But they aren't seen as great MCs either even though they may have great/classic albums and material.
This is classic deflection tactics.

I see your rep....

You know how many people think Kanye is the greatest rapper ever and how can you disagree because nothing you can say will change that opinion
I wish I could've warned you to just stay in The Arcadium.You related to Aubrey or somethin?
