If Drake wrote 75% of his raps, would you give him a pass?

[OJ Simpsom]

On the Coli No. IRL Yes

 

[Piff Perkins]

Of course not.

 

[Corndog]

If he wrote 75% of his raps I'd say he wouldn't be automatically DQ'd from any consideration in terms of status as a rapper, the way he is in reality
But I don't care for his music anyway, so

 

[Mystic]

The ghostwriters just kills any talk of him being an elite rapper, he's simply a popstar.

So that kills Tupac too and ghostface and others if we wanna talk about it

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

I never really rated him like that ghostwriters or not

Depends on the extent of the ghostwriting. Most people generally don't care about ghost hooks but Drake seems to have had entire verses and songs ghostwritten for him


People even claim Hush wqs the ghostwriters for the timestamp songs, which are Drake's signature lyrical miracle tracks.

I'd give him more respect as an artist for sure, but with what's out there on him it's hard to give him the benefit of the doubt that he's writing 75% of his sh1t

Very few artists write more than 75% of their shyt outside of some particular genre. Hip hop fans making such a big deal about this is part of the reason why it’s such a fukking joke these days. A bunch of MSs who can’t get through an office shift without ChatGPT are gonna point pitchforks? GTFOH

No because of the hood cosplay

Stop the cap, pull up a Tupac or Ghostface reference track, where a whole song was laid out and they rapped it word for word.

I never made that claim

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

No. He’s still a pedo who got other pedos defending him, as well as having them in his roster

We make a big deal out of it because if you ain't writing, then wtf are you doing as a rapper? He's not a producer, he doesn't play instruments. If he's not writing his work, then he's just a damn fraud. A pop star exclusively.

If his fans are fine with that, then cool. But he's rightfully criticized for that in hip hop spaces.

As for OP no but I never listened to Drake to begin with so

 

[Meowth tote da Uzi]

Hell nah, that nikka always making that stupid ass face and does nothing to appeal to adults. Dude like that Unc thats trying to hard to stay young forever. He the type of nikka to pull up to the high-school to steal swag and bytches.

Even taking our hooks, Tupac and ghost face would be getting removed
