Why are you shocked?

Ghost writing is pretty common. The homie Kinetics has written for a lot of people too. Ghost writing goes back a long way in hip-hop.. the problem with Drake having a ghost writer is that he raps about never having help and his songs are so blatantly not him that it's obvious. Dude was a child TV star rapping about "started from the bottom".

rhymefest pretty much told everyone recently that common called him up asking him to write a song, glory, that went on to win a grammy. and nobody cared. i was kinda shocked. but i guess its just part of the game. i now suspect jay and nas hav had 'help' just as they helped others throughout their careers. i respect and enjoy their music just the same. :yeshrug:

I'm pretty sure everyone knows about Skeme and the work hes done with Iggy.. He writes a LOT of her shyt including Fancy

Bobby Brackins writes for Tinashe, Chris Brown and a bunch of other pop acts.. dude wrote Loyal, too on etc.

Berg actually came into the game writing for Eve, DMX (shocking aint it?) and other Ruff Ryder cats.. most recently hes written for Wayne, Nicki Minaj (wrote like 3/4 records on that Pinkprint shyt) Rihanna, etc. wrote Diamonds for Fabolous

and like dude up top guessed, Stat works with Game a lot.. Its mostly hook work though which is or used to be dudes weakness. Nobody noticed how hes suddenly improved? Speakin of Game.. Ill just throw it out there, J. Cole wrote Games verses for the song Pray w/ JMSN... Im actually not entirely sure if it was ever even intended to be a Game song at all when it was originally recorded.. Cole ended up reusing bars he wrote for that ..I'm surprised nobody ever noticed..

"She ride or die like Eve and them, make home cooked meals every evening" - Game on Pray
"She ride or die like Eve and them, make home cooked meals every evening" - J. Cole on Runaway

on top of that, J. Cole wrote Games verses on Drug Test from the Red Album.. dont believe me? anyone with the album booklet, go look at credits.. tell me what you see




its actually pretty obvious listening to it that J. Cole is Game and Dre is Kendrick Lamar on this.. listen to the flow and delivery lol. Game don't rap like that :laff:

Berg was 12 or 15 when d'mi brought him around. Chance wrote for jcole

came up, thats all me

just sayin thats one of the songs he has a reference like that. but theres prolly stuff in 10 bandz and 0-100 if i remember correctly.

i still enjoy it just the same. i think the thing thats lamer of him is trying to front like other people are stealing him and his teams wave, like that IG shyt from yesterday

Lots of reports saying made over a million on Degrassi, lmao. Drake has lied and said he didn't get paid at all, then he admitted he made about a teacher's salary, but many reports say he made over a milli through the shows run, and that was before he was 17. Even if he made a teacher's salary, being a teenager and making 40k+ isn't starting from the bottom and you most certainly are a rich kid.

And he rapped about it.. I don't fukk wit' Drake anymore cuz I'm not a kid and he markets his music towards kids but I know after the So Far Gone mixtape he had lyrics about doing it all himself and never having help.

Which is funny af because this dude used his Degrassi money to pay ghost writers and then to pay Houston radio stations to play his music.
being 17 and making 40,000 a year is amazing
