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

[Awesome Wells]

Breh....what is wrong with you?

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.

Fred.

I get it, you don't like Drake. I don't either.

But you spoke about history. I've been around for a long time, so I can point out how the same shyt's been happening forever. That's all I'm saying. To sit here and act like this is some new shyt is corny. Anyone that's been listening to Hip Hop for a good 30 years knows this is the same shyt that's been poppin' forever. That's the point. It's not about who I like personally or any of that. But just speaking to what's actually been going on.

Chuck D is easily one of the GOAT's. Cube is too. Chuck wrote for Cube on arguably Cube's best album. This was 25 years ago. Dudes who know their shyt know this. Cube has no problem speaking on it. He gave Cube joints that he worked on for a group that was signed to PE. References. Cube took them and made classic shyt. So if we're really try'na talk history, we can. These are facts. That's my only point. That it's been happening since the very beginning.

All this time while defending that awful album y'all was riding for a random nikka named Quentin and y'all ain't even know it

That's why Cube isn't considered one of the greats

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 y'all act like that what's you want it to turn into

It wasn't just hooks. Peep my other post.

These were songs for a group they were producing.

these nikkas love quentin. they barely was saying the lines drake might have wrote

 

[The D-List Vet]

Didn't hear the reference tracks (probably when I get back). But if it's just choruses mainly, it's not that major. Plenty of artists (even in hip-hop) have pre-written choruses.

MTV dose not even play rap let actually MTV barely plays music anymore

This is funny considering y'all the ones jumping through hoops of fire blind folded in a weak attempt to convince us ya boy not writing his own bars is no big deal.

All y'all can

LOL!! That dude's first two albums alone make him Top 10.

Matter of fact, didn't one of them win the poll for the GOAT West Coast Album or some shyt on here? Cats know.

This is the reason people hire ghostwriters. #WeDidntWannaKnow

This is what happens when 73 year old politicians jump into something and have no clue.

Regardless though, it's somebody in the industry confirming what other cats here are saying. The mass majority of artists get help to some degree.

He produced a diss track that went at his boy, what he expect

I'm aware.

u guys notice how no other rapper is talkin about these reference tracks

too afraid to mess up that future "collab"

Or that a lot of rappers can't speak on it since it's an "unwritten rule" and was supposed to be kept in studios
