, Numbers Dont Lie: Drake sell's 600,000 in a Day

[Run Up]

Ignore facts, brehs.

Look up Drake's writing credits for TC and NWTS and you'll see Hush's name all over both.

We all know the QM saga details.

There's several threads on how Abel gave Drake half his album for TC

Nikelus F has already said he wrote shyt for Drake, Sweeterman is a documented rip as is Hotline Bling.

If you won't concede these proven points than there's no point in conversing with you.

You have way more invested in this as a Drake hater then I do as a Drake fan bruh


I like the end result of the music; I don't care about anything else

Don't believe those numbers but if they are true. It just means that he is popular, not that the music is good.....

Now if the music is really good, then he should do some strong 2nd and 3rd week numbers, ha?

Same here. So much so that I care about it's authenticity and the creative process behind it.

So to be clear then, you don't listen to ANYTHING other than straight up rap music written by 1 person then correct? Because every form of music outside of wrap is an army of writers and producers that make R&B, Pop, Rock, etc.

I'm tired of explaining this in every thread but people got beef with Drake not writing because him and his camp MADE IT SEEM LIKE HE WROTE EVERYTHING.

That's literally the only reason. You don't see people tripping off Dre or Puff Daddy, do you?

So it's disingenuous as fukk to ask why we expect Drake to do more than recite something someone else wrote. Or ask why Drake don't get a pass like other genres. He can't play instruments or sing so the R&B and rock comparisons are

Prior to the QM shyt his fans were comparing him to Jay-Z. Now it's "why do you expect him to write, look at other genres"

shyt is silly as fukk.

I listen to everything. I like seeing talented people do work.

Why do you ask?

Diddy and Dre write NOTHING. Pretend Drake been a facade this whole time and didn't come into the game writing his own shyt, and that he hasn't written for other people along the way as well bruh

At some point he picked up some writers, but honestly who gives a fukk. IMO opinion he got rich enough and threw it in cruise control

All I'm saying is, if you like Drake's music it shouldn't matter; and if you hate Drake's music it also shouldn't matter. If you like Drake's music but force yourself to hate it because your mad it's "disingenuous", kill yourself. So many weirdos on this site man

Who gives a fukk? Clearly him and his camp. After the reference tracks leaked his producer 40 was on Twitter denying it.

Few months later Drake admitted he used the reference tracks in Complex.

I'm at you dudes talking about "it don't matter". It matters enough that his camp had to cop pleas on his behalf.

If it don't matter to you but this a rap message board. It's not KTT or some alternative music site. A rapper claiming to write all his own shyt....then admitting he don't....will forever be a topic of conversation here. If that's weird to you maybe this ain't the site for you.

Any site where the moderators can say whatever the fukk they want and make shyt up as they go isn't a good site for ANYBODY to be honest....did you get the gig in a sweepstakes or giveaway or something?


When you weed out the trolls, including the people pretending to be Stans or Haters just to be "funny", there's a lot of good discussions on this site....so overall it's A-1 in my book


Moving on. Where the fukk are the receipts of Drake EVER saying "yo I write all my own raps"? The one interview he actually talked about it, he spoke about the collaborative process. Even QM said he considered what he did with Drake collaboration and that he's not a Ghost Writer. Also, why don't you go back and actual READ 40's twitter rant instead of paraphrasing with revisionist history, because he clearly said that he's spent plenty of time in the studio with Drake and has seen him write. He NEVER denied that there wasn't any lines or verses from anyone else, he just said don't ever doubt Drake's pen because he's seen how lethal it is firsthand

So again, be an old hating ass curmudgeon if you want to and try to twist data points to make a bullshyt argument, but you're not fooling us real ones

And as I said, none of this affects me. I don't give a fukk about Drake as a person or what moves he makes; I care about how his records sound and they are enjoyable to me
