You'll notice anyone who is even mildly relevant ain't seeing shyt...because they are all guilty of this practice. The only people writing 100% of their raps are losers who haven't made it.
All that does is give credence to what I told you before about no one wanting to fukk up their paper, and further solidify your status as the typical, poser ass, female hip hop fan.

You are more concerned with the image than the individual, plain and simple.

the fact this even needs to be said is demoralizing, you actually have people out there who say it doesn't matter who writes the rhymes, as long as the one spitting them sounds good then they're dope. shyt is gross, but i find peace in knowing that this generation is like 80% weirdos and fagits, so their opinions shouldn't be taken to heart. drake shoulda been a wrap, from a respect as a mc standpoint, as soon as meek and then flex exposed he had a writer and provided receipts. imagine if we found out today that AZ wrote illmatic, or Sauce Money wrote Reasonable Doubt, real nigs round the country would be puking right now

So we just going to ignore the part where he said Drake is still a great artist and it takes talent to put together a song like that, like he aint say that is just a different way of making a song? Why are we acting like being a great Lyricist makes you a great artist, its only part of it.. Being a great lyricist is only half of it..... but im a let yall cook

He was just being nice.

Drake isn't the one producing/arranging these songs.

At the very best he's choosing what songs/sounds to steal, but I don't even think he's doing that. Dude is a rapactor:smh:

If Drake is a "great artist" then it is that easy.

Dude literally has a team working on is music.

Why is he the "great artist" and not one of the dozens of people working in his music?

His singing is lackluster. His lyrics are written for him. He doesn't produce.

So what makes him a "great artist"?:heh:

He ain't writing his raps. He ain't writing his R&B songs either so there goes that. He doesn't produce or make beats...what exactly is he doing besides...acting like a rapper?

And even if we throw both of those out the window and completely take him out of the rap category and judge him as a singer...he can't really sing either.



You got people that have a better singing voice than him giving HIM their songs, that makes no sense. Exactly where does this great artistry come in?

I already know the answer to this. Somebody is gonna say "he makes great music"....meaning they fukk with his music, regardless of who wrote it or how it's made. Which is fine but people need to stop using "he's a great artist" as short hand for that. I watch a lot of dumb ass movies....they're entertaining....I'm not gonna sit here and tell you the guys that made them are great at what they do. They're not. It's ok to like something and admit it's actually not very good. Most of The Coli doesn't seem to realize this. Every song is classic and every rapper is great. Save that shyt for certain people.

So Royce saying he is a great artist doesn't mean anything but when he says he isn't the best lyricist he is credible? You can't have it both ways. You post a video consigning only the part that fits your narrative but discredit the part that doesn't.
Look stop with the bullshyt, y'all act like he has never wrote a rap a day in his life which isn't true and until you can prove he is milli vanilli you might as well not reply saying that.

I honestly don't believe he has :manny:. How do you know it isn't true? Have you actually watched him first hand write a bar?

:leostare: Didn't the reference tapes do that already?
