Why do y’all trip about certain rappers not writing their ryhmes ?

[ESCAPADE]

Every single rapper gets help and I doubt anyone can show me an album were a rapper wrote an songs 100 percent by his or herself.

DAMN had 5 writers each for the majority of the songs
ILLMATIC had at least 2 writers for each song
ALL EYEZ ON ME had 4 writers each for the majority of the songs

Why do some y’all trip when y’all learn that Drake doesn’t write his own music ? All rappers get help.

Receipts or negs?

Those aren’t other people writing Nas rhymes that’s the producer and whoever else was featured on the song. Producers getting writing credits on the songs they create.

It's annoying when people try to claim to be what they really aren't....false flagging. Fake gangbangers, cacs being black online, drake claiming to be the best mc alive and being put into the same category as B.I.G. and other great rappers, people online claiming to know 2pacs people......all examples of fakes

You don't really understand how writing credits work, brother.

Producers and musicians get credit for shyt like playing instruments and writing sheet music, not because they write bars. Artists can get writers credits for samples and references as well. You look at a song like Rap God and you'll see Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick with writers credits just because Em said "6 minutes, slim shady your on" at the beginning of the track. That was enough to warrant them getting writers credits and thus publishing from that record.

And if a rapper is going to posture like he's "top 5, top 5, top 5" he is now vying for rap supremacy. You can NOT vie for rap supremacy if you literally have nikkas on retainer writing your raps for you. Nobody gets mad at Dre or Puffy because they don't try to front like their names should even be in the mix when we're talking about MC'ing.

Or if theres a sample on the song a lot of time's the authors of the sampled song will have credit in the liner notes.
