If Drake wrote 75% of his raps, would you give him a pass?

[Whips-n-Chains]

He's still a fakkit even if he wrote and produced all his songs.

I think he wrote more of his earlier stuff, his voice just cuts through every beat and makes him the star on most features. That's really his talent . You still have to talent to rap someone else's lyrics convincingly . Cardi B is great example that you can still rap horrible even with ghost writers.

I put Drake next to Kanye & Dre, who both don't write their raps. He's damn sure no Greatest of all time. Kanye & Dre at least can produce music.

I give The Game a pass for The Documentary because Fif just wrote the hooks, plus it was originally 50's album.
Ye and Dr. Dre gets a pass because they're producer rappers
Drake is a great artist, but it weird how he has to be put in the Big 3 conversation

 

[Shadow King]

No.

 

[Lord Beasley]

Ofc. But we now what time it is

 

[Bryan Danielson]

If it was 100% he would be in my top 10

Drake got like 356 songs…. He wrote like 317 of them

Even if Drake wrote 100% of his rhymes, which was assumed before the Meek Mill beef, dudes still wouldn’t like him. The ghostwriting claims just gave them a reason to publicly dislike him without appearing to be haters.

Naw I don't believe he's penned anything every other mc has the notepad he's never been seen with one except for that fake cover for take care.

Very few artists write more than 75% of their shyt outside of some particular genre. Hip hop fans making such a big deal about this is part of the reason why it’s such a fukking joke these days. A bunch of MSs who can’t get through an office shift without ChatGPT are gonna point pitchforks? GTFOH

I think that's because people considering singing a natural talent but not rapping. The talent in rap is considered the writing,all though rapping is a lot more musical than it used to be. A lot of people consider rap talking fast and don't view it as a vocal talent
