I got to hear all the references it's not nearly as incriminating as people suggest... :francis:

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 :manny:

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... :wow:

@Ns we good fam

Quentin did not work on Legend...

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.

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.
Those lines unfortunately make the songs. I'd understand if it was said "in passing" or if Quentin's lines were already out there in a big way like Mase's lines in the Worst behaviour song.
In school when you had to write the essays, starting was sometimes difficult but once someone gave you the skeleton, finishing and making that essay a great piece was easier. In a way, making music is the same: thats why the people that own samples sometimes want 100% of royalties

Let me tell y'all something about this rap shyt..

What QM did is definitely ghostwriting because not only did he give him lines...but just as importantly, JUST As importantly, he gave him the flow.

Coming up with the flow is part of the process for real Emcees...

If a rapper were to remake a song for a mixtape and use the same flow as the original artist that's a loss.

That's what Drake doing out here. This QM shyt is an eternal L
Meek aside he took an L of epic proportions. But I don't thing these nikkas understand that when meek is back irrelevancy and the dust settles its all eyes on drake being a fraud.

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.

Skillz told you this in '99



This is my first time ever hearing of this song & watching that concert clip. Anyone have a clip of the uncensored 2nd & 3rd verses?

He got too comfortable. He's bought songs from artists before. They were R&B songs tho..
