Got this excerpt from a Fader article.
This is the problem. Drake could be the setup for something much worse. Pushing this "it's like pop, he should have a group of writers" agenda will only set up the fall of hip,hop as we know it. Before you know it, talentless hacks will invade the genre with million of dollars behind them and groups of writers to help their cause. This is one of the most corporate things that could happen to hip hop, and of all then nitty things that have already happened. This will be the absolute worst. This being accepted and appreciated as actual art. Lifeless Vessels running around making Music they don't own. Stories that aren't theirs.
We must continue to shame this shyt. No matter what. It isn't right.
I’m not here to draw a hard line about what a real rap verse is, or what authentic rap music is—just to say that personally I find no scandal in Quentin Miller’s credited contributions to Drake’s songs. Over the past few years, the walls between the street and the internet, the underground and the mainstream, and different genres have vaporized. With this, the audience for rap has grown, and so the commercial stakes of many rap songs are now similar to the stakes of pop hits. Why wouldn’t rap artists make their movie with the best crew?
