Noah "40" Shebib in 2012: "If you dont write your own raps you have no credibility"

[SunZoo]

Receipts of this "97%" bullshyt number you made up

Jesus fukking Christ man...this nikka finna draw up a pie chart pretty soon here.

Any benefit of the doubt he was getting is out the window now.

Let's keep it real tho, 95% of this thread is dudes who hated Drake anyway, y'all were never giving Drake the benefit of the doubt with this whole situation. It's just funny that QM HIMSELF denies EVER ghostwriting for Drake yet y'all still believe QM is his ghostwriter...and that if Drake's ghostwriting was so well known throughout his entire career other people wouldn't come out & expose him, especially now while people actually care about this topic. Y'all geeked off a few lines...which happens ALL the time in hip hop

you sound like you got no sleep last night rationalizing drake using ghost writers.

 

[Insensitive]

Why can't we have a fearless rapper put on the bomb strapped jacket ?
I mean outside of Meek just about everyone is to meek too speak on this
situation plainly.


I wouldn't last long on a major.
I'm certain I'd be going at heads and having them edit words out my
raps so as not to offend.

And I'm officially looking at Kanye differently
Never considered him anywhere near "GOAT" but allowing Drake to use him as a "political pawn"
in that video last weekend (a move I'm certain was made by Drake's PR Team) was wack.

you sound like you got no sleep last night rationalizing drake using ghost writers.

Meek Mill recently said Drake doesn’t “write his own raps,” causingLupe Fiasco to write a note on Instagram about how some of the best raps are by ghostwriters — but Quentin Miller, who’s written with Drake before, wrote his own note Thursday clarifying that he is “not and never will be a ‘ghostwriter’ for Drake.”

“I’m proud to say we’ve collaborated,” he wrote in a post on his Tumblr. “But I could never take credit for anything other than the few songs we worked on together.”

Mill listed Miller’s name in a single tweet as part of his series of tweets about Drake, but Miller maintains that his relationship with Drake is collaborative. “I remember him Showing me the thank you notes in NY before the album dropped,” Miller wrote. “Showing me the QM, telling me they put me on the credits (Ghostwriter???) … He attached my name to something that touched the world.”

I'll believe Quentin, thanks tho

Can you read dummy? QM denies EVER having ghostwritten for Drake. And yea I heard the reference tracks. He took a few bars. So what? You acting like he lifted the whole song and claimed it as his own. FOH minion

 

[Frida Giezman]

if Drake names his next album GHOST I'll forgive him

 

[SunZoo]

A lot of people (his camp, his fans) are acting like this entire ghostwriting/reference situation is a neat tidy package that goes away if he "defeats" Meek.

Which is why he's up to 3 diss records so far. This from a guy that said he'd never respond to beef.

This is also why I said I had zero interest in Meek vs Drake. It's all smoke and mirrors.

I would gladly trade Meek's entire career for one interview that grills Drake and his camp about this situation. Point out the reference tracks, QM not credited on "RICO", these quotes from 40, the inconsistencies with QM's statement, the numerous Tweets going back years accusing him of using ghostwriters, etc.

I don't even know who would conduct an interview like that, because the rap industry is so soft nowadays. I seriously doubt Drake would agree to an interview like that, anyway.

Fred.

Real shyt...this sounds funny but I wouldn't be surprised if Drake never did any interview...ever again

And if he does it will be years down the line or some rolling stones fluff piece. Ain't no way in hell he ever touches on this voluntarily.

we all know he contributed much more than a few bars but where do YOU draw the line exactly

I'm asking for research purposes

 

[Henri Christophe]

Leave my favorite rapper alone guys

He's the best

So WHAT if he paid for lines & got help writing a feature verse. EVERYONE does it

From Beyonce to The Beatles to Lil Twist to MC Hammer to Young Thug

EVERYONE does it

Its been in hip hop forever

Nothing you say matters, he's still the best

QM even said it HIMSELF that hes NOT the ghostwriter. So WHAT if he laid the flow for RICO for Meek & Drake and Drake took all his best lines and didn't give him credit. He said hes NOT the ghostwriter. So hes NOT the ghostwriter.


Just let it go

As long as the music jams, is all that maters

Could you guys imagine if there was a reference track for "Dear Momma" or "Juicy" or "Shook Ones". What about a reference track for "It ain't hard to tell" or "Dead Presidents". I get on Eminem but I know he writes, imagine a reference track for "Stan". Like some of us take being a lyricist seriously. Nobody is saying Drake can't be a hitmaker going forward but he should just stay in his lane like the non-lyricst like Puffy and Dr. Dre does. It's obvious the lyrical game ain't for him.
