Most rappers work like this. Why are people frontin ? This is how shyt works. Like really.

:martin:

Man if you fools don't get the fukk outta here with this bullshyt.

Name all these other rappers that are jacking songs, shelving artists after using their songs, using reference tracks, and using writing camps.

Not one of those things....all at the same time. I need to see dozens of examples because you said "most rappers".

People will take something they know don't make sense in the context of the comparison....for example "Method Man wrote the first 4 bars to Ghost song 'Cherchez LaGhost'....and then run with it on some "see? same thing" like a god damn fool. I know you know the difference.

Do people realise that Drake is also a singer ? 99% of these RnB niqqas have writers feeding them hits.

I don't have a problem with Majid Jordan's and PNDs helping with songs because all rappers have help with hooks and singers have help with songs.

But dude better not have too many Quinten Millers :francis::lolbron: Otherwise he can't be mad at people calling him out as a rapper. But then again the same people calling him out as a rapper have always called him a corny pop niqqa anyway so...

They are not helping with songs...they are writing the songs...there is a difference...

Help is something the average rapper gets...he writes a 16 and spits it in the studio and some dudes in the studio say "it would be better if you said this...or flipped this bar like this" and he does it...but that is 1 bar..2 bars...3 bars...out of a 16...

Drake is having entire songs written for him and just cruising around listening to them in his car...i have yet to see any proof that he wrote a word...let alone a bar...or a song...that's not help...that is someone else music...because you know...drake is listening to someone else music in his car before he decides that is the song he wants :mjlol:

He even needs reference tracks for the cadence...

He can't write it...he can't rap it...he can't even figure out how to ride the beat...

He gonna be alright for awhile because so many people are eating off him...but the second he slows down or he can't keep up with trends and he not making those people money his career is going to evaporate...and by slow down and keep up with trends I mean the second their is some other brand new prap star on the rise and all the ghost producers and writers working with drake and 40 start working with someone else...

well, you heard it from them directly.

these dudes made a song they didnt even realize was a single

song blew up, they gettin penneis but they now get the opportunity to make more music with other people and get paid more. they went from making music for free to getting paid with the possibility of getting PAID. thats a ill trade off and any of us on here would be dumb to not try it.

this is like getting into the hip hop game 101.

They're smart enough and lucky enough to be in the position to promote their work though.

Think about it. They are suburban Arab guys with good parents and educations (he mentioned he could fall back on his business degree and get into corporate work if it didn't pan out). But a lot of the music being taken is from guys who come from the street without all that.

That's my big issue. . but at this point it is what it is.

It's going to get worse now that platforms like Apple are connecting with record labels and these kids are uploading their work. Lord. . they aren't going to see a dime.

I do hope that like someone suggested more start studying the industry so they won't get hoodwinked. That and some new artform is created that's completely independent of the industry like hip hop once was.

Side note this thread got me :dead: because the same dudes in here talking about "I don't care about this, no big deal" will post 20 more times to let you know how much they don't care.

My favorite was "Drake don't care about this". Stan a rapper so hard you become in tune with their thoughts, brehs. :wow:

except its WELLL KNOWN ghost uses trife, wigs and used superb.

the theodore crew itself is ghosts writing team; of which I believe ghost still writes, but today you need to drop a lot of material and those guys have wrote verses and ghost is MY GOAT.

edit: add nas wit the whole dead prez/killah priest/jay electronica stuff

edit2: KANYE WEST ANYONE?

Prove it. Where are the reference songs and all the stuff that comes along wit it. Dudes are so hard up to cape they throw shyt wit no proof talking bout it happens all the time. No it doesn't

i'll be waiting on this response too.

beyonce and katy perry do something similar to this as well...

i'm not a fan of trap music and young thug, but at least they ain't out here running pop music factories, they're not using ghostwriters and trying to appeal to little 11 year old suburban white girls

Its interesting you have this stance now when...






You used to post ALL the time about drakes "writing prowess" and used it as to why you thought he was so dope.

Now all of a sudden you don't care :mjlol: and it doesnt matter :mjlol:

nikkas think these rappers just lock theirselves in the studio with the producer and engineer and write records??? :mjlol: yeah maybe when they're TRYING to get on but nah. There's LOTS of people putting in on these records.
And that may be the case but you have @CrimsonTider & @ThreeLetterAgency blatanlty changing they stance when they fav gets exposed:francis:

Yeah, he's a great singer. :mjlol:

Dude can't sing or rap. What are people fans of? I don't get it. And you're all adult males, so I doubt it's sex appeal. Who knows though? :jbhmm:

Fred.


Never work in the music industry fam if you can't hear why Drake is popular. You in parties confused and shyt while everyone is hype :skip:

OVO is Marvel and "Drake" is the Cinematic Universe.

I think it's about time Thanos shows up.

The bolded :ohlawd:

There's nothing else to say. This is inexcusable and indefensible. He's a manufactured pop star. He's Britney fukking Spears.
