That's why it's called GHOSTwriter.

Some of the writing on Nothing Was the Same, particularly on “Connect,” has a poetic feel to it. Lines like “Wish you would learn to love people and use things and not the other way around,” how do you come up with those?
Who helped me write on“Connect” [11] is this girl Kenza. She’s a great girl and a phenomenal poetry writer. We just sit together and come up with the best way to say things. [12]Actually, me and her did [the lyric] “love people and use things and not the other way around.” It’s cool to get another creative mind in there, just someone who’s thinking solely about the words and not the melodies and placement. It’s nice to read her poetry sometimes, I’ll take from that.

[12] “When I texted him, 'Isn't it amazing, how you talk all that shyt and still we lack communication,' he was like, 'Are you talking to me about me right now or is that for the song?'” —Kenza Samir, poet

so you have no evidence then ... :ohhh:


who came out and said they wrote for drake ?


Coli Ghost Busters hard at work ... :troll:
Complex: Have you ever helped him with a verse?
Nickelus F: Yeah, I've contributed. I'm a team player. I won't say I wrote a verse that he spit verbatim, but I've contributed. I helped out with the hook on "City Is Mine" the hook on "Overdose On Life."

Who knows honestly?

Battles aren't necessarily about who has the most skill, credibility or popularity..

To me the best battles are about who is better at psychoanalyzing their opponent and about who is willing and able to cut deep...

The fact that they both know each other and have spent time together gives both of them an advantage.. It's not like Drake vs Common where its about a bunch of generic one liners from the outside looking in...

Drake seems to be pretty observant and smart.. So I wouldn't totally count him out...He would have to go through his mental rolodex on anytime that Kendrick, showed weakness or vulerabilty around him.. Or told him something in confidence as his "homeboy".. To me what makes the best battles is that ability to get inside your opponents head and attack their vulnerabilty..

"Biggie remember when I used to let you sleep on the couch? And beg a b1tch to let you sleep in the house"

"I showed you your first tech, on tour with large professor, then I hear you rap about your tech on the dresser"

"So don't front, MC Ren, cuz I remember when you drove a B2-10"

"Smiling in my face, glad to break bread with the God, wearing Jaz chains, no tecs, no cash, no cars "

This is why you can't just predict who would when a battle based on who the best lyricist or song writer is...It might come down to who is the most perceptive and who is able to take small details from the past and stretch the truth.

I did say I like Drake and maybe I went too far with ghostwriting cause he's done for other singers but I do believe Drake is the face of a group of people that work together to produce that sound, even his producer said he helps him write shyt, he took shyt from the weeknd too, it's easy as fukk to come up with dope shyt when people are holding your hand and you have fans that can't tell who spit your lyrics in the past but better. How can you be the best rapper when it's not even you whose rapping.

It's pretty obvious this guy is just saying the most outrageous shyt to gain views/hits. Nobody would pay attention if he said Kendrick could beat Drake, it would simply be him saying what everyone thinks.
