Yeah he just flat out confirmed all the theories about their ghostwriting teams.The irony is that they mention that a couple times.
"Most of the time, the real songs sound different than the reference tracks"
Having writers work with Drake was a core part of the process for OVO at the time
“So the whole ‘ghostwriting’ thing… One thing about it all is they kind of take a different approach to rap music,” Stewart, who still calls Drake "The Boy," explained about the OVO team’s process during IYRTITL and in general. “It's not your typical, just sit there and bars, bars, bars. It's a pop music approach when it comes to making rap music. Like, they're looking for the best songs, the best lyrics, the best beats, and they're trying to make the best song they possibly can with what they get. That's their outlook on it. And it works for them, because they beat Michael [Jackson] and Quincy [Jones] now, right?”While this may not be the biggest reveal in the world, it is quite intriguing hearing someone from the inside outline the process so clearly. Towards the end of our conversation, Stewart played what he described as unreleased OB O’Brien tracks that Miller helped with, in addition to an unreleased Miller song that Steward claims was written for Drake. “They tryna JFK me, man that shyt is crazy” is one of the lyrics on the track that’s titled “Hazelton.”
