When did you realise drake was an opportunistic slimeball?

[blizzard man]

at you already back peddling. Went from "this is how the industry works" to "it's not unheard of".

So I guess you'll be able to give us multiple examples of this, since it's so common place, right? Or do you want to just bow gracefully out of the thread while you're still ahead?

Fred.

i can try to look further for you since this seems to be an extremely difficult concept to grasp, but here's 11 examples that you'll probably ignore. these examples are more geared towards pop music (which drake is anyways), but with rap having ghostwriters in the midst and that having been the case for years, i dont seem to understand why the concept of people writing songs, only to give them to more established acts, is such a foreign concept to you.

but like i said, coli gon' coli.

a recent KindaNeat podcast interview with johnny polygon finds him talking about artists who reach out to him for his songs for their albums. he doesn't sell them or give them away because he keeps them for his own projects, but again, that practice is 'not unheard of in the music industry.' i use that phrase liberally, not meaning to say its rampant, but its not exactly rare either. i wanted to clarify, since you wanted to accuse me of backpeddling, of which i did none.


11. “DISTURBIA” — PERFORMED BY RIHANNA, MEANT FOR CHRIS BROWN
This song was originally intended for the re-release of Chris Brown's Exclusive album—but once Rihanna heard it, it was hers. Brown handed it over, saying it would serve better as a female-oriented song.

Why would I ignore and neg you when your post makes you look this stupid? You seriously thought this was a good rebuttal?

1. Weeknd gave half his album to Drake.

2. You came in the thread claiming "this is how the industry works".

3. Changed your stance to "it's not unheard of".

3. Gave a link to 11 different examples of artists giving up one song.

4. To make matters worse the list is songs left on the cutting room floor. In other words, they never intended to use the songs they gave up. Since you seem a little slow, let me explain that is nothing like the Weeknd situation.

So again....stop posting. For your own sake. You're making a fool of yourself.

Fred.

When he turn "how's it going down" into a simp anthem

That wasn't really a simp anthem and was actually one of the better songs on that sleeping pill

this is you right now:

i agree, 5 songs is a lot to give to someone else, but what does the number of songs mean anyways? one song, 5 songs? its still something that happens in the industry. keep picking apart my phrases and ignoring the actual point of our chat.

you asked for proof, i gave it, and now you're nitpicking and moving goalposts. coli gon' coli

apparently a fair amount of All Eyez on Me were other people's tracks. Suge made the other acts on Death Row give them shyts up because Pac had just come out of jail and had momentum.



This is partly why I can't with Drake haters. if the concept of Drake disgusts you, then you should strike cats like Kanye and Pac right off your list.
