I love it how cats try to shift what's going on.

We got multiple reference tracks. People come in the thread talking about "bu bu but everyone needs help, since the 80's breh!"

Then you press them for examples and they're talking about "tossing around ideas in the studio". :what:

The two are apples and oranges. I will not let these fools confuse the issue. :stopitslime:

Fred.
shyt changes when their favorite rapper gets involved.

Kendrick's situation showed that firsthand :sas2:

"fukking around" means going in the booth to record whatever comes to mind. This is how a couple of hooks were referenced for The Dynasty album. Everyone knows that Sparks wrote the "Give It To Me" hook and wasn't credited of it initially. He was complaining about it for years.

This is history. If you've been around, you know this has been going on forever. Chuck D wrote hooks for Cube on Amerikkka's Most Wanted. Cube was easily one of the best then. Some of those tracks were for Sons of Bazerk. This isn't about my opinion. This is facts. Dudes have always done this. Nothing new.

Breh....what is wrong with you? :dahell:

NONE of that shyt you're talking about has anything to do with reference tracks.

If Chuck D gave Cube reference tracks....actually never mind, it's too stupid to even entertain the thought.

Cube was giving reference tracks to Eazy. Drake is an Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Lil Kim level rapper now.

Like I said, stop trying to muddy the waters. There's a very clear distinction between the discussion, and the examples you're giving.

Writing a hook is not the same as giving an entire recorded track to someone. This shyt is like dream penning an entire song for Beyoncé. This is not RB :camby:y'all act like that what's you want it to turn into

Let's not pretending Drake - for better or for worse - isn't seen as a top emcee and a peer to other talented rappers like Cole, Kendrick and Wale breh.

He's not a pop star. He's a rapper who is very popular. The rules should still apply to him.

They're all peers, that's about it. How they all got to where they are is different and all their situations are different. At their level, the music is important but there is so much more to it than that. Meek Mill didn't think this whole thing out well.

"It wasn't the whole song just a few lyrics what's the big deal?"

Did you know I've heard multiple people today excuse Drake for having ghost written bars because he has a really busy schedule and doesn't have time to write his bars anymore?

Hip hop in 2015 y'all.

I wish I knew how to do that Steve Francis smiley. It's very fitting for right now.
