I see people still gonna run with the "Drake doesn't write anything" narrative even with the facts right in front of them :obama:

Drake letting this cupcake baker write even some of his lyrics is a violation breh.

Don't do it man. Don't cosign fraudulence.

You know yourself it's a big deal, do you think Drake's camp is downplaying this?

Because this is hip hop culture. It stands for something believe it or not.

And you got culture vulture nikkas like Drake leeching off of it.
But in the same breath defend all these rappers' ducktales. It is best not to care and enjoy the music. That who knows from meek was trash! They didn't bother to mix it or noThing.

No caping. Going off facts. I agree it's bad that Drake has to use writers at all. Are you saying Drake writes none of his own shyt?
I'm saying we don't know what he wrote. I'm
Saying you either have to give him the benefit of the doubt, or assume He doesn't write any of his shyt.

that's what I'm saying :"

I agree it is a big deal, it's fraudulent, and he shouldn't need writers at all. I do think they're downplaying this, just like Quentin did when he said he "collaborated" with Drake on some songs (collaboration = Drake listening through a Quentin Miller playlist and picking and choosing his favorite lines :mjlol:). I just think it's funny how people acting like Drake never writes anything based on what we've heard.

Let's dead the, "but Quentin was credited :sadcam:" argument right now.

Because you know damn well those measly writer's credits didn't imply the level of help Drake was getting.

When you saw Q.Miller in those album notes, you did not know that he went as far as recording scratch vocals for this nikka.

Or writing who knows how many of Drake's actual bars.

Even giving QM "credit" doesn't absolve Drake of being fraudulent.

and llike I said, in this era, ppl download illegally or from Google/Itunes etc and often don't get album linear notes.

So masses of people aren't opening a phyiscal album and reading the credits while they listen. They dont know who's writing and eventually don't care

They gonna want reference tracks or they won't believe it bruh


Like I said, I've seen shyt like this before and not from nikkas who can't rap. Like I said, tomorrow will tell

shyt like this ins't that surprising especially with the amount of material Drake puts out. It's hard and damn near impossible to stay fresh and be able to revitalize like he was without some assistance. He didn't even have an album out last year and he still was all over the charts: Trophies, 0-100, Believe Me and other features

Lol at people still saying "but he wrote some of it" drake lost, accept it.

Imo- He'll maintain his fan base since a God portion of them are young and or culture vultures, so they only care if a package looks pretty on the outside. This add generation doesn't appreciate substance and depth. Not saying meek is at all, but drake will always lack authenticity. That's the L that drake will be secretly seething over the rest of his rap career. His pen will ALWAYS be in question from this day forward. He'll never have respect as a real MC, no matter how much his machine tries to spin it.

What's really disgusting is that dude needed a reference track for a feature. Like damn b you can't create a hot 16 without help?

There's no need to give him "the benefit of the doubt," we've heard what Quentin did on those tracks. You can either assume he wrote the rest, or assume he gave Quentin Miller credit for what he wrote and had a ghostwriter do the rest, which we can prolly agree sounds unlikely (why even give Quentin credit at all if someone else wrote the rest?)

Drake doesn't write all his own shyt, and people will definitely be checking his album credits more closely now to find out who's helping him.
