Rosenberg says Drake told him he used ghostwriters

[Rembrandt]

This part in particular is hilarious:




"Hey guys, remember years ago when I was talking about writing your own lyrics in relation to Drake....well now it doesn't apply to him because he's a creator."

Fred.

he could be referencing him taking R&B songs. he does mention him ghostwriting for others and drake's actual writing skill and how personal his writing can be.

but still, it's some backtracking no doubt.

it wasnt the R&B songs he got exposed for though....it was the rap songs on IYRTITL and the RICO rap verse and 40 was responding to that

Did Rihanna get put at the top of MC lists and get credited for bringing lyricism back to Hip Hop?

Of course not..but Drake is still a pop star however you try cut it. whoever put him at the top of those lists had a hidden agenda and it was the Jews.
Even before we knew he didn't write some of us were far from impressed.

he was put at the top of those list because he was presenting himself as an MC who was "honest" in his raps

but true, even before he got exposed people overhyped his bars

Not to mention the Nickeleus F. shyt which is why this thread exists. Also Hush being credited as a writer on 75% of "Take Care" and 50% of "NWTS".

Do I think he never wrote a single bar? No....but the overwhelming evidence suggests he didn't write the bulk of the songs in his career, which is why I chuckle when people create false equivalencies to defend him. This has never happened before in rap history.

Fred.

 

[spliz]

shyt is true. and check it. It was an Asian cat who told him to do it. lol.

 

[Harry B]

Can't believe it's taken people this LONG to figure out he doesn't write

This doesn't even make sense, plenty of old rappers are horrible freestylers . The reason cats bring phones to the radio is the same reason people have phones/pads in the booth. They just wrote it, dumb nikka seem to be the only ones who can't understand that.

Does that make it okay? I don't know probably not. But motherfukkers tour all year, spitting bars from their 100+ songs, that connection you dudes are making is sincerely stupid.

Real Chatty Patty shyt

We've heard the reference tracks. We've heard the mention of tents. Nickelus F, Hush, Qunetin Miller. There really shouldn't even be a "debate" anymore.

This here.

Tentception

This nikka be buying verses and songs wholesale and flipping them for writers credits.

Barbitrage.....

I'm normally completely silent in all of these threads, but i had to say something.

Drake doesn't produce a lick, can't play an instrument, and doesn't "create" anything.

I don't even know how 40 typed that with a straight face.

We might as well come up with a list of other things Drake is, since apparently he's all of these invisible things.

"Thankfully for me, Drake isn't just a rapper. He's also a musician, producer, inventor of the Segway, international breakdance champion, Head of Marketing for IBM, Habitat for Humanity Chairwoman, Budweiser Beer Taster, world renowned tattoo artist, the man who took the photo of Tom from MySpace, Elon Musk, and a creator."

not that i don't believe Rosenberg here...shyt, i believe him 100% the way he just dropped it in the conversation like that you can kind of see the realization on his face but.........you mean to tell me you, Peter Rosenberg someone who likes to stoke up a bit of controversy here and there, likes the attention, is a Kendrick stan, somehow didn't bring this up during the Meek Mill situation but especially when Drake was shytting on your station.......?

the screen cap of the video gets me every time.



i thought he was terrible....then i heard So Far Gone and nothing was the same after that. (no pun intended) the music was beautiful even though he had a bit of struggle flow, he rapped over Santigold, Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn & John..the only one of his projects i love and continue to play front to back several times a year. Take Care gets it's annual listens in the fall too to be fair.

I clearly remember nikkas was really saying Drake wrote for Wayne back then

They STILL say this

No, not at all. The OVO camp has pretty much completely avoided interviews since then.
