@Broke Wave how Quentin know bout "Woes" if Drake got that from Devontee? :lupe:

Quentin and Drake hung out a few times... And this is a question I do not have the answer to.

That being said, the fact that Drake isnt denying that these are reference tracks really settles it for me. Drake has lost all his credibility in my eyes as an artist.

:ahh:
y'all are ASSUMING Drake made those changes.

1st off, the dude cllearly gave Drake the blueprint. It's not hard to change up lyrics, it's harder to develop the direction of what ur gonna say.
2ndly, who knows who else made changes on the track. Y'all ae just crediting Drake blindly.

This sh*t bothers me bc I am (was) a huge Drake fan, but I'm not ignorant.
co-sign. I like Drake and still gonna listen because the music is great. But Drake as a rapper..not gonna look at him the same way

You really don't know?

Check interviews with Consequence, Rhymefest, Lupe, Malik Yusef, etc. Dudes have been writing songs for Kanye his whole career. Classics albums that I love. This was never some secret. Which is the point being made. Beats are one thing. I'm talking about lyrics. Kanye's said he's the one of the best MC's in the past 20 years. Top 5. But a majority of his records are joints he didn't write. That's the point.
Yeah none of them said they wrote songs for Kanye.

“It is true I participated in writing with Kanye. You could read it on credits on 808s and Heartbreaks,College Dropout. Every album that he’s had, I’ve been involved from a creative aspect in writing of songs,” Cons said. “Check the credits, I get that publishing.” - Consequence

Rhymefest rapping about Jesus Walks:
I had the "Jesus Walks" sample and a dope idea
If K hooked it up this could be the song of the year
So I give my nikka the sample and the joint took off
But the verse that 'Fest did somehow got lost
Somewhere got tossed

Homie, I ain't mad at ya, doin' your thing
Let every man be his own king


Cons was beefing with 'Ye and the most he could say is "I participated in writing with Kanye". If he had reference tracks to drop - he would but he didn't. Loads of demo versions from 808's leaked - none of them have Consequence or anyone on the vocals.

Lupe has 1 writing credit for Kanye and that's for Black Skinhead. And he certainly didn't write the song, he doesn't even know what it's about:
“I still don’t know what ‘Black Skinhead’ is about. It’s a lot of emotional, a lot of this, a lot of cliché, a lot of kinda stuff balled in together, and it’s just supposed to be presented as a package and you digest it.”

But we all knew Kanye had help with the bars but we don't expect hooks and verses from the same dude - literally referenced tracked for him. AND Kanye came in the game as a producer/rapper. The only reference track for Kanye we have is All Day and only 1 line used.

Drake is a songwriter but he has other people write him songs. So what does he do?
