Stakes Is High: Drake Ghostwriting Accusations Matter More Than You Think http://n.pr/1eU4V0J

Very good article.

But much of Drake's allure is the idea that he is personally penning his deepest thoughts; he's not supposed to be a committee of feelings. The reality that Drake may be getting whole songs' worth of help from outside sources takes away from some of the magic and fantasy that makes him such a profitable entity. If it didn't, Drake's camp would have owned up to the level of assistance he's gotten — which is almost certainly more than they've admitted to — and simply turned Drake into a reality TV version of a rapper, where people watch knowing that it's fake, but get a perverse joy from trying to figure out where the line between authenticity and script is crossed. The obviously staged dramatizations of Love & Hip Hop are commercially viable, but using ghostwriters is as much about ego as it is about money. Drake isn't trying to be a reunion show fight highlight reel. He hasn't explicitly claimed to write his rhymes in years, but he obviously aspires to be categorized with Jay Z, Nas and 2Pac — not Dr. Dre or P. Diddy. If he didn't, he would not have taken such huge offense to Meek's accusations.

This is what I been saying since the day the songs leaked.

Fred.

Funny to see that quentin miller straight up lied about when they startdd working together in his letter. And he didnt say what exactly he does on ovo if not ghost writing :mjlol:
Of course he wasn't gonna say shyt that could fukk up his money.

Even in the letter, dude says he was surprised he was credited.
