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

[Matt504]

this is how a lot of people learn how to rap

which is why the reference tracks are a big deal to some of us

this guy didn't just help drake with a few lines

he's literally teaching drake how to rap

so anytime drake uses a new style or a new flow we have to wonder

Facts. I tried to tell people.

I disagree, Young Thug has flowpool access, Drake doesn't, that's why he needed Quentin to bring flows and cadence to the table so all he has to do is plug in words.

I mean the track in general seems to be attacking somebodies credibility.

The bridge:

"Yall don't do it for the love now...they gon find out who you are just admit it.."

"Do you remember where you started out from? You looking lost now...fake it til you make it your little paper but when you look into the mirror your credibility gone now."

"I'd rather be hated on for who I am, than be loved for who i'm not, that's word to doc."

Em just sounds kinda like he's waiting for somebody to give him the green light to sick whoever

Some PM the kid, I don't have an iphone.

Hold on.. This needs to be looked into..


What actual studio footage of Drake is there...

The only thing I can think of is that MTV documentary that he had before TML dropped

funny how this documentary is nearly impossible to find on the net smh

when did it become so fukking difficult to rap? to the point where someone like Drake needs a whole team of cats to walk him through it? I dont get it.......I was never signed to a label or anything but back in the 90s when I used to do my thing on the net with RealAudio I used to just write and spit.....shyt took about 2 hours to write 32 bars and then record and get a good take...all by myself

I feel like Kendrick and god knows who knows who else have had info on those reference tracks since at least when TPAB was released. He seemed pretty staunch about the ghostwriting accusations since the album came out and especially with releasing King Kunta as the lead single.

The two man cell line, the hook of "bytch where were you when I was walking?" (vs. "Where were you when I was shooting in the gym"), George Clinton talking about funk vs pop, and the outro of the girls saying "we want the funk". All this along with the You Ain't Gotta Lie to Kick It Track, Kendrick has been challenging him for the longest (since Control) and he hasn't responded. Aubrey's been being hailed as a great chess player with this Meek beef but honestly he may have been better off just keeping his trap shut in the long run.

Did anyone not think that Quentin was brought in because he is basically a Drake clone with less charisma?

as in QM is writing these things AS drake. Not the other Way around.

 

[Da King]

Maybe 40 was taken out of context with this interview

this thread is still going?

SALUTE the booth....Low key best July thread on here... .... The research from 09, tweets from 2013, More ghostwriters, lies, cover ups, Canada nikkas calling this back in 2012, atl nikkas calling out drake when his so called throw away track album was Quentin miller from jump, and last but not least his fukking engineer condemning him in context years before all this shyt coming out. "The flow was getting kinda stell had to switch it up" -drake translation: the reference I heard was alright had to switch it up
