Why hasn't there been a single real denial from Drake yet?

nikkas acting like hip hop is pop where there are a team of writers crafting hit singles, now I understand why nikkas was saying "but what about Beyoncé and Rihanna"

Disgusting

You know for something to be part of the "creative process" you gotta actual create something.

We know that:
-Q created the flow
- Wrote bulk of the bars
- He didn't write the ode to his own city
- Stole the "6" moniker from some random Toronto SoundCloud rappers
-Took "woes" from New Orleans or some random Scarborough dude( you choose)


So you dudes who keep arguing this is business as usual, let us know what did he actually create? Give us a single similarly created record by a top rapper in any era.

None of this is fact.

Drake is officially pop. Thanks for clearing it up for us, Meek. I had a thread earlier this year that I'm actually embarrassed about now. It was about Drake being a great lyricist. I apologize for tring to put him up with the great ones, even if I do still enjoy the fukk out of his music.


If it is ever declared that Marvin's Room was ghost written, I'll kill myself. Wine or water. :yeshrug:

Whilst I'm here, I thought I'd share this with y'all because it seems like there are a lot of misconceptions about what a reference track is. In light of this whole thing, Vibe has written an article in regard to reference tracks.

This is part of the article that attempts to define what they are:

If you have no idea what a reference track is, let us explain. A reference track is essentially an unfinishedsong

that features verses, hooks and even artists that are just placeholders on the song

. For instance, a reference track for Dr. Dre’s Detox may feature a hook rapped by Jay-Z, a verse rapped by T.I.

and a long gap in the middle

of the song where a verse is supposed to be. But Jay and Tip’s parts might actually be parts of the song they’ve ghostwritten for Dre and the gap might be where Dre plans on sticking an Eminem verse.

Yes, we know QM is involved in the creative process (credited, as he should have been) but we don't know the degree to which he is/was. There are a lot of assumptions being made, without enough evidence to support the claims.

It almost seems as if people are underestimating the amount of resources go in to creating a song at Drake's level.

What do you consider a "bulk" of the bars? Because Drake wrote majority of the bars on every track. Plus Drake didn't take woes, Quentin did :pachaha:

huh? snoop, ODB, Eazy-E, Wayne, Beastie boys, etc. aren't taken seriously? do you dudes even know what you're talking about?

no one said drake is above being criticized, but why is every other offender above being criticized? yall dudes going around here talking about this new generation and the end of hip hop and shyt and i just had a convo with some dude, damage controlling saying the reason people had ghostwriters back then is because they would go to jail if they told their real stories :dead: and they KNEW they were fake, but we're the ones accepting this? :mjlol:
Huh who considers the people you named top Rappers. I'mtalking top 10 . Not top artists either.

Fuking beastie boys:mjlol:

Outside of one none of them are placed up there. Only reason some people still think highly of Wayne is because no ref tracks ever dropped.

Now posts the people who claimed them other rappers were all time great.
