Quentin Miller - Know Yourself, Used To, 10 Bands & Rico (Drake Reference Tracks)

[WhoShotCha]

Criteria for hip-hop is completely diff than that of every other music genre, so stop bringing up people idc about like Beyonce. Yall sound like some hoe nikkas, defending a rapper that brags about his pen game-but aint penning his rhymes. Yall like that nikka THAT much lol, damn..

 

[Numpsay]

It amazes me how a hiphop board collectively(majority) doesn't understand the point of reference tracks, which are rarely entire songs.

 

[Jesus H. Christ]

The feature on Fetty Wap song has QM written all over it.

 

[Versa]

Funny thing is Drake/Quentin said they hope the real live forever and hope the fake get exposed.

But now the fake got exposed and most of y'all got no problem keeping his legacy alive and untarnished.

Bizzaro world.

@TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY You in the industry right breh? How do industry nikkas feel about ghostwriting? The skreets wanna know .

Happens all the time. Mainly with hooks and shyt. I've seen cats in the studio vibin together throwin bars at each other. Kinda like the game 50 situation when 50 had full records written and recorded and he gave game the joints already formated to where all game had to do was spit verses. Cadences were already laid out etc. 50 didnt write his verses he jus gave him hits that needed bars. Rappers get inspired by shyt all of the time. Sometimes u use references to point u in the right direction

 

[NvrCMyNut]

that's just the few q miller joints that leaked. now you gotta go back and think of all the demo's he stole from uncredited dudes:

1.12

I'll say that you're not a GOAT if you don't write your rhymes.......but do we know these weren't recorded in the last week or so? Just being objective.

 

[nalej]

Reference tracks are pretty common but even if you're going to criticize Drake for that, he's still gotta be the one to perform and record it.

 

[Tha_Mac]

I don't really listen to drake so I don't know what I'm supposed to be listening too somebody help me out

This

 

[jilla82]

So does Drake find these ghostwriters on sites like Elance and Fiver?
Im trying to get this rap career started!

Nah, Quentin has admitted that he "collaborated" with Drake on songs. We know these are legit. And you right about the first part, Drake can't be considered one of the greatest when he has people helping him with bars, even just 8 bars in a song.

So you wouldn't call Drake a fraud because of this?

 

[CrimsonTider]

I know MJ didn't write all of his songs. I never alluded to that.

I specifically stated writing to Steve Wonder, Marvin Gaye, R. Kelly.

I'm talking about MJ being a fraud as an artist. ie like a Millli Vanilli

Why are you brining Milli Vanili up?

As I said before you have this narrative that you want to keep feeding no matter how wrong everyone keeps telling you that you are.

As I said R. Kelly has a lot of shyt he didn't write and Im sure the others did as well.

How doest that make the music sound any differently?

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

So four bars of Rico and just hooks

really?

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Drake a plant and a fraud. Always knew it.
