@ Drake sampling this Wayne interview when Weezy talking exactly about nikkas like HIM.



Song sounds ghost written too, especially that cocaine coupe shyt

All that 'all me' 'nobody did shyt for me' shyt has been dude overcompensating all this time

 

[KingsnBucs1987]

Man I missed the fukkery tonight

Well at least I got to hear the tracks before they got pulled.

 

[KOohbt]

This was a fluke, labels will make sure this NEVER happens again.

it def won't be a rapper this big. that damage control was brilliant.

@ Drake sampling this Wayne interview when it's dissing HIM.



All that 'all me' 'nobody did for me' shyt is pure compensating.

I'm done talking about this with Drake stans. I just read this on my TL

Lol nobody is in denial about anything. He's clearly on the payroll since he stated that Drake brought him along on the album. Nobody knows if QM recorded those tracks after Drake did or not. You weren't there and neither was I. You got all these "facts" from not being in the studio with them. 99% of the rappers have writers/cowriters on their album. Any input used on an artists track is credited on the album

I'm done brehs

 

[desp]

Sorry, that one. The one with the Lou Williams line right?

Yup

 

[MicIsGod]

Nah, Drake took the 6 from Jimmy Prime. Jimmy Prime is the one who started calling Toronto the 6 originally. Drake gave credit when he first started saying it then just started using it himself

Wait whose jimmy prime

 

[Vinny Lupton]

If I was a rapper and wasnt gonna write my own shyt, especially if I'm the most popular rapper in the world, I wouldnt let dudes record reference tracks. They gonna have to write it on paper and recite it to me. then when I learn the lyrics, burn the paper

The "these tracks were recorded after" has been the worst excuse on Drake's side yet

Nah, I'm talking about someone getting in the booth recording something. And then the actual artist going in behind them and doing what was laid down. I've been in countless sessions where this has been done. It's not always planned, but the process is all the same. You might not have a hook in place, or a bridge. But someone else might have something they think may work for you. So they go in. You follow and work with whatever they gave you. This is everyday shyt in music, period. Not just Hip Hop. But the point is, everything isn't always one MC, one producer. We'd love for it to be that way, but a lot of music gets made by several people either throwing ideas around, or building tracks separately and then working together to piece them together as a whole. For anyone in music, this is common knowledge.

I get why it's not as organic as Primo and Guru working on something, but it's just the reality for how a lot of records have been made forever in Hip Hop, and other genres.

You don't understand, I get that, but a verse? Nah.

Hooks are different, or a line or two. We have heard 4 songs so far, and from the same person, that is not what you're talking about. What you mean is just people having fun making music, someone has a good idea, shows you how they think it should go, and you use it, but you are doing most of the work, so its really still your shyt. When the same person is doing this, now someone is doing your job. If this were different people I would be thinking like you, but considering Drake has changed styles, and he has gotten bigger(less time to get into his craft) and the references are from the same person, I think this is a case of a fraud rapper.

It's common sense.

@ breh saying you don't know, and you don't have facts because you weren't in the studio... when I can hear the damn songs with my ears tho

 

[KeysT]

But I'm still puzzled as why meek even ratted him out tho. Like, was he that mad about him not tweeting your album? He had to have known how damaging this shyt could be. That's why I can't ride with meek on this. That shyt wasn't coo at all.

Seriously?

 

[ridedolo]

I actually like drake more as an artist but this shyt is historic for hip hop. Drakes back will forever be against the wall. It's only so long before the wrong name or situation is mentioned in these records and other rappers will get involved. There's a lot at stake. Drakes brand is at stake. Rap Is built on authenticity and its s proven fact drake isn't nearly as capable as he presented himself. Drake might have to change his whole lane after this.

I just listened to back to back and I wanna know and drakes shyt is sounding mad shaky. Dude doesn't ever deny the ghost allegations. He's resorting to playground jokes about his girlfriend

Meek came out attacking him as a man. His credibility.
"Puffy almost caught a domestic when he smacked that bytch" followed by puff talkin shyt
Drake got pissed on? Literally?


These are just light jabs too. He still hasn't mentioned Rihanna, degrassi, Canada, drakes snitching affidavit, his style, 40s condition, his moms looks... Harsh but this is a rap battle and anything is possible. "Skeeted in your jeep, left condoms on the baby seat"

He is going to pay for what he did. Drake is a money maker, and meek is messing shyt up. Watch his sales all of a sudden drop by his next release. They are going to get the Charlemagne's, the complex magazines, the mtvs, to talk bad about meek and not play his shyt. The fans will think they dont like meek because of the music, but its the label manipulation. I seen this shyt before, except it was more low key. With meek, its going to hurt him publicly.

They will still try to push Drake, but he will fall off because people won't be able to take him serious when he raps about certain things, so the label is going to get him to make more songs for women since they could care less. BUT, women don't stay loyal to rappers, and drake will eventually be forgotten. I told people on this site, rappers only get 5-7 years, if you go longer then that, you are going to be doing this for years to come. Drake could have made it if it wasn't for this info.

Meek isn't messing anything up but his own career.

He's not in a space where he can do any of this. He's not Nas. At the end of the day, away from all of the gossip and shyt, if he had the music to actually hold people, he'd be looking a lot better here. This isn't about Drake having the machine behind him. Hov had the same shyt going for himself back in 2001. Nas was done. Everyone knows that. But Nas had the music. So he was basically reborn after that. Labels can't manipulate the actual quality of music. And they can't do that with access either. We have more access than ever now. We're listening to reference tracks these days. We can't blame the labels for everything. Sometimes an artist just isn't that great. And the quality of Meek's music, including his comeback, aren't on the level of an "Ether", or track that could boost his status in Hip Hop.

You would need that level of talent to really do damage here. He just doesn't have that. Nas went against labels and radio during a time when they had more control than ever, and were at their most profitable. And he came out on top. There are no excuses for how Meek's failed here. Drake's career isn't built on credibility like most MC's. He's not necessarily genre-specific. That's why he'll continue to flourish. It's not Hip Hop. He's not limited by the same rules as real MC's. That cat, whether we like it or not, will be around for awhile. Because he's built a fanbase that's about as diverse as it gets. And they simply don't care about half of the shyt we're in here going back and forth about. It's pop music.
