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

[knickscrusaderm]

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

Good looking breh.

It's still fukk Drake on this side tho .

Truth. Happens all the time.

Kanye gave Hov bars for "Lucifer".

"Man I gotta get my soul right
I gotta get these Devils out my life
These cowards gonna make a nikka ride
They won't be happy 'til somebody dies

Man I gotta get my soul right
'For I'm locked up for my whole life
Everytime it seems it's all right
Somebody want they soul to rise"

This is what goes on in studios everyday. It's a part of the process. Whether cats like it or not. A reference for a feature is weak. I don't know about that one. But dudes build on songs all day. It's been happening since the very beginning. Drake being as popular and successful as he is magnifies it for people, I guess. But it's nothing new, and it's not going to stop either.

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..

Kinda like how rappers brag about everything else they dont really got

This

Quentin Miller is basically doing what B.I.G. did for Lil Kim here.
Teaching him how to rap his own verse (because Q.M. probably wrote it).



listening to this makes me sad for Hip Hop...aint shyt coming out that touches this...and im not even a huge B.I.G. fan.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

I want to hear the reference track for "No Tellin"

Kanye is a producer...thats what they do.
Q.M. is just a guy that writes for Drake, and teaches him how to rap.
Big difference.

What world do you people live in?

Fred.

I don't think drake, rick Ross, Kanye write

nikka, if I found out Michael Jackson was a fraud or Stevie Wonder/Marvin Gaye/R. KElly didnt realy write their songs.....it would be a major blow. It would seriously bother me as a fan of music and admirer of their talent.


Where is your sense of pride?

Are u aware of how much writing credits they give to other people


Some of those artist biggest songs weren't even written by them...

 

[SCORCH]

"nikkas writing for you cause you never did shyt..."

It's a fukking WRAP.

 

[AAKing23]

What's wrong with you new nikkas??

Social media allows too many nikkas to have voices when they shouldn't even be in the conversation because they don't know what the fukk they're talking about

 

[jadillac]

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?

the only one to tell me I'm wrong is YOU. (no pun)

 

[ridedolo]

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.

Low key one of the best comments I've seen tonight

 

[SunZoo]

That's what QM claimed. He said the project was mostly complete and they just had him work around it or something to that effect.

I only asked so I can put his rep in the red, unless he was being sarcastic.

 

[↓R↑LYB]

Spitting other nikkas shyt, but you claiming king though

 

[J-MIL]

This nikka Drake bet not mention his self wit the goats again
Quentin actually kinda nice. His voice and delivery is wack tho

 

[Matt504]

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.

Post some reference tracks since they're so common.
