It will eventually. Meek will weaken drakes foundation at the core, although the machine already picked drake as the winner. But Kendrick will come thru w the head shot. Drakes back will forever be against the wall against rappers who actually write. His time on the top is not as firm as it once was.

I never said it was "More difficult" neither did I say it was "more prestigious".
I simply said it's different.
Outside of that this whole posts is littered with bullshyt.

Pass me the rock nikka
I got to hear all the references it's not nearly as incriminating as people suggest... 
I counted four bars out of a 24 bar verse with R.I.C.O. which are the three opening bars and Shaq at the free throws line
The hooks to Know Yourself and Used To
The hook and at best an 8 bar verse on 10 Bands, Drake added an 8 bar verse, a 16 bar verse and outro to the track and slightly modified the hook removing the budget part and replaced 1317 with turning 17 which makes more sense.
Like I been saying nikkas ain't writing whole 16's for Drake or anywhere close to entire songs...
@Ns we good fam
I can tell Quentin wrote the boomin' out of South Gwinett line on 6 Man

Drake didn't steal Used To from Quentin Miller. Used To was originally a Wayne song from Sorry For The Wait 2 it appeared on IYRTITL with a slightly different beat and extra verse and no Riff Raff intro or outro.Not only are some of these written FOR Drake (Know Yourself, RICO), but some of them are QM songs that Drake stole (Used To is a completely different beat, on 10 Bands QM references his team 1317)
Nah he is credited on Know Yourself, Wiki fukked up because people been going ham editing the article. Check an early edition on Wiki before all of this started. Quentin Miller is credited on Know Yourself, 10 Bands, No Tellin', 6 Man and Used To and has an official thank you in the mixtape liner if you had a physical. R.I.C.O. couldn't be credited since Meek's people wrote the album liner and tracklist.

first move is to deflect.
Don't bother telling them that. They're using this to solidify and justify their disdain for Drake.I got to hear all the references it's not nearly as incriminating as people suggest...

So basically Drake is a corporate puppet?
I'm not surprised. I thought it was fairly obvious.

8 bars in rap is not small to me. I can let him get away with some hooks, but not verses.I got to hear all the references it's not nearly as incriminating as people suggest...

And you're assuming drake wrote the other verses, it could have been someone else, we just don't know. My thing is if he couldn't write an 8 bar verse, something is up. I think he knows how to rap, but not as good as we think, but his image sells, so the label gave him some writers. After the first album, most artist who THINK they want to be in the game, can't do shyt anymore. They had years to prepare for their first album, after that only the!big boys can keep going.
The label must know somehing because I guarantee you, if drake was a little darker, more harder, and wasn't kissing women's ass with these songs, meek would have won after that first diss. This isn't just about the music, but what people feel about both artists.

I am sure he can write 8 bars. He probably felt dude's shyt was HARD and asked to use it.
I don't think so. Judging from other rappers in the past, who did the same shyt, I can almost guarantee once he blew up after that first album, and all the features, he got burned out. It's the same with rap producers, they are good in the beginning because they had nothing but time, once they blew up and always busy, always partying(this really fukks artists up), and just getting lazy, they lose their skills. The problem is new artists bring better skills to the game, and that artist has to keep up, but they can't, so the label hires writers and producers to keep the ball rolling. They have millions invested, they aren't letting you fall off that fast.
Why do you think so many artist start out as just bud smokers or maybe do a little harder drugs, but by the time they are 3 years into their career they are smoking like crazy, and onto other shyt? They need something to get their brains moving, and then the addictions start. Or they just party so much, they get lost. Either way, the bigger they get, if they aren't really rappers, or producers, its going to show and the label is going to bring in them ghostwriters.

<--- Cleveland Browns winning that many, boi!
Drake never wrote his own shyt. Fukk outta here
That's because you're looking at the evidence in the wrong way.
Drake bit the cadence and melody. That's 99% of the game. From there you can swap in rhyming words and punchlines.
This isn't so much about stolen lyrics. It's more about delivery.
"riding through the (fill in the blank) with my whoas" is a perfect example of that.
This shyt should be a death sentence in hip hop culture. But instead we got nikkas copping pleas for this fraud.
I've been saying it's about cadence and melody since the first reference dropped.

You know what's funny.
Seeing all these rappers interviews when they get asked about this.
"What do you think of Drake getting exposed for having writers?"
"oh I don't care, it doesn't matter anymore."
"Do you use writers?"
"No my shyt's authentic I'd never do that"
If it doesn't matter then why is it a big deal for you to not have someone write your rhymes?
