lol
This has been going on since the beginning ask Melle Mel
most of the time we never even know
I'm sure it has. And it's sad because it's lead to the fake bullshyt we have to deal with today. I wonder just how many of these legendary rappers had their shyt written for them. I hope it's no one I like.
I don't mind if you're in the room with your peoples and your boy tosses you a hot line. That's totally different.
But a "here, go write this verse for me and come back to me with the finished product, and I'll spit it" is garbage.
The guy who blew this whole thing the fukk open was Puffy. I know an OG who was a hip hop executive at the time, and he said specifically: "once Puffy came through with No Way Out and sold more records than anyone in the genre, I knew this shyt had changed'.
also, if Drake has writers, and Drake has written stuff for Kendrick, what does that make Kendrick?
Kendrick stans please don't kill yourselves.
