​@thecunninlynguist does it Matter when Drake writes for Kanye ?

It doesn't matter for any if the other greats...just drake

You can't pick and choose when it's culture and when it isn't. Music making is a collaborative effort and can be very exhausting. Can't be rolling 50 deep and you the only one coming up with the music.

@@mikedownload4029 he cares. Why do you think he got so mad at Budden, when Budden said his album wasn't all that or why he bothered to respond to Meek and Pusha? He wants to be up there with the Hov's biggie's nas' as a top tier emcee. If all he cared was about the money, fame, women...we wouldn't even have this diss track. or he wouldn't be so agitated with not being taken as a serious lyricist.

@@agendaxpushers1322 He is on pop charts, because his music is popular. Please tell me you don't think pop music is some specific genre. Please tell me you know that pop music is simply the most popular music. Its why pop music can be a rap, country, r&b, rock or any other style of music, as long as its popular. BTW, he has dominated the pop charts like no other artist in history. Drake now leads all artists with a whopping 329 total entries on the chart in his career (through the Hot 100 dated April 13, 2024). He's the only artist to chart at least 300 total songs in history. Only two other acts have charted at least 200: Taylor Swift (232) and the Glee Cast (207). With that kind of recognition, who gives af about being considered a top MC or a lyricists? He is aiming way higher than that.

Exactly. He’s got the talent and a machine behind him to do the heavy lifting.

You might want to Google that word's definition, because this isn't anything remotely close to that.

@OnDugs then its not ghost lol its a writer, the whole point of a ghostwriter is to not be known but maybe I'm wrong 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@OnDugs “yeah they are”… do you even think before replying? How’s it a GHOST writer if they are publicly credited?

⁠@@H2LYBthere’s many factors actually and if you’re willing to just stop and think for a second. You’ll see that whole credited stuff is smoking mirrors. I have TWO points for you and if you respond. I would like you to answer to my second point. Point one, BEFORE Meek tweeted anything about Quentin Miller, you agree he was in the credits correct? Then why was it such a shock to the world when meek announced it? Point two, being in the credits can be discredited very easily. I tell Drake fans all day everyday just go look at the credits for Take Care & NWTS. Anthony Palman aka hushovo is listed as a writer on more than half those album. You know what I’m told after I say that? That’s drakes boy he probably gave him a line or two and got credit. My point is, even when you’re credited as a writer no one truly knows how much you contributed to the actual song. Unless you have reference tracks leak and you hear the so called best rapper in the world repeat word for word what some no name artist just said…

Y’all taking the word “ghost” to literal dumbasses y’all all know what that shit refer to im not arguing with none of y’all

Does your butt hurt from all that meat riding?

You’re right but the difference is nobody was saying Dr Dre, Snoop, Diddy or Kanye were the greatest rappers. Ppl are trying to say Drake is the GOAT & he has ghost writers & that’s why it’s held against him. You can’t be the GOAT if you don’t write your own music!

Future wrote Sicko Mode for Drake

You still have no point, its called interpolation - Interpolation is a musical technique that involves taking a melody or part of a melody from a previously recorded song and re-recording it instead of sampling it directly. This can include the sung melody, lyrics, part of an instrumental line, or production techniques. Interpolations are also known as replay in the industry.

And others like Slick Rick

Producers are credited as writers, there's samples and so much more, not the entire verse
