I've been wondering, what if Drake isn't even the person that we hear on songs? I know it's a crazy idea but what if he has people that sound just like him rap his songs for him. I'm not saying all the songs but what if just one or two.

So according to Charlemagne, Meek felt some type of way about that Rico "The girl of your dreams to me is probably not a challenge" line... So drama played him the reference track to calm sht down. But Meek still took to twitter.:pachaha:

It's not the lyrics or the writing that bothers me. You can quote all these dusty purist rules of hip hop and I'm not moved. Those are words on a page and while important it's the artist that brings them to life. It's the flow. Never the flow though. :wow:

I listened to the RICO track with Drake and Mills. That shyt was flames. Drake was effortless. Not much excites me musically but even I got hype. Told my girl Drake executed that verse perfectly. :banderas: Then I listened to the reference track. I heard QM's robotic voice executing perfectly. But what hit me though, what really hit me was when he even did the Drake "I'ma sing in the middle of this verse" shyt Drake does. That's something that annoys me about Drake, but hey, it's uniquely Drake, or WAS anyway (:to:) so I would let it slide. But to hear this robot do a Drake signature was like :wow: Yeah, Drake changed a lot of the lyrics but the flow, the flow is the exact same. I used to change lyrics of whole songs and make them about Metro buses. But the flow was already there for me. The flow is most important to me.

I'm not going to burn Drake shirts, proclaim hip hop is dead, devote volumes of text or thought on it, and it probably won't bother me next week. But right now I'm not liking this. Drake doesn't owe his haters anything. fukk them. But he does owe his fans something. Either prove this is your shyt or just be who you are like Kanye. I'll accept it either way. But in some of his true fan's eyes, no matter how good the music is, and it is good, that question will always be there. Is it the flow though?

I'm still really with you though Drake. But for the time being QM is going to have to share these memories. :mjcry:

Funny because back in the days of Tha Carter 3 I used to be like, "man, Wayne sounds just like this Drake guy he's running with now. I bet he writes Wayne's rhymes." Now I'm wondering if it was Wayne writing his lol. :stopitslime:
