Yo what's up with the Drake ghostwriters thing? Lol, like for real tho, does he really have writers writing all his shyt like a Cardi B and Will Smith and Lil Bow Wow and shyt like that?

Fam how are you even asking this question in 2023 and you BEEN on this board for years?

This nikka had REFERENCE TRACKS made for him, dawg.

But "never the flow, though..."....right, Drake fans?

Morons.

I would be rich if I wasn’t broke .

Same logic.

"Dawg, I'd be in PEAK physical condition if I wasn't 176 pounds overweight."

I’m not a fan…so I don’t click Drake threads typically.

And I think you’re missing what I’m asking. I know he’s had tracks written for/given to him…I’m asking is it like a 1-2 song per album type thing or is he getting every song written for him on some Cardi B ish. Either way is trash but there’s a difference between being given a reference track and taking a hook and tracing someone’s flow, etc… for a song here and there…and just having every verse you record ghostwritten and rehearsed for you to memorize and copy (Cardi B, Kanye, etc)

Oh okay.

Well, somebody should point you to the "OVO Tents" thread.

That will answer your questions pretty effectively.

In short....Drake is a fraud and hip-hop doesn't care. Your exact words were:

If he's on some Cardi shyt, how can yall even allow him to exist?

....because nobody cares, that's why. It's a problem with the culture. And gatekeepers are considered passe at this point.

 

[The God Poster]

People forget there was a time right before he got exposed. The industry was pushing the Drake is a lyricist agenda. Primarily to rebrand & get the “soft” “Drake is like” meme off him.

If it wasn’t for Dj Drama he’d def be pushed as a GOAT rapper

Now his fans act like they never tried to champion him as a lyricist

 

[Exlurkernegro]

Even if the ghost writer stuff wasn't factored in its still not a good argument.


You'd have to compare bodies of work.

 

[KFBF]

Drake has zero quotables.

Nevermind, "Bench players talkin' like starters, I hate it." is maybe his one quotable.

 

[Finesse]

Drake Top 10-25 ghostwriters aside. The thing is, like already stated he doesnt have that emotional resonance to his music.


Despite so much of his music career being based off emotions. He aint got shyt like Changes, Smile, Sky's The Limit, Slipping, Watch Dem, If I Ruled The World etc.
