Why is he still dissing Meek 7 months later then?
cause meek exposed him and tried to hurt his career. Drake is pissed that it got out there and he was publicly exposed like that but he never denied and is never gonna deny it, he basically admitted it in his fader interview.

You're a wrestling fan in the 1970s right now. You'll look back on this and laugh in about 20 years or so. It's not healthy to get this invested in the industry unless you're in the industry. Enjoy the music.

Not the same thing at all.

At that, wrestling as a sport and art form is actually real. People who are in to wrestling actually respect the real art form and ignore the fake WWA.

Hip hop built wealth for a lot of black men specifically. As a music genre it was a hold out from being taken over by corporation for a long time.

Independence in music, free of corporate influence is being hard fought for not just in hip hop because anyone who is an artist understands the benefit of making and retaining money off of your own creation.

It's a shame to me that Drake is ushering the belief that hip hop should be under corporate control.

I'm not saying he's the only or the first to do it but he is the one normalizing it.

But it's whatever, hopefully the next generation will create something new that isn't so controlled. ...

You're a blatant stan trying to spin this in whatever way you can because you can't emotionally handle the man you've been vehemently defending on this site for years is a fraud. It's not healthy to go to these lengths to defend another man,up to and including trying to tarnish the legacy of actual legends.

The lengths you go to cape for Drake is astounding.

Breh, you had a guy in here compare this to child pornography and I'm the one with the issue? I barely post in these Drake threads, check the numbers. I like Drake but I can't devote my online time to him one way or another. He's a brand, as long as he keeps dropping music I fukk with that's all that matters.

So we were illogical for being outraged when we heard drake spit another mans verse verbatim...

But some reaching on this Majid Jordan interview is solid evidence? :dead:

See, this is the problem with a white girl fanbase, too easily influenced. Fortunately Drake has the masses behind him.

I'd rather have a whole team of writers a hookmen and drop a platinum album then do it on my own and go double wood

That's the school of thought with Puff Daddy, Kanye West, TI, Birdman/ Lil Wayne, Dr Dre etc. The dudes who have occupied the top spots of the game... Its not a new phenomenon.

But I think now people are just realizing that large parts of mainstream rap is no different from pop music for a lot of artists & the mainstream is just another part of corporate america in that there is no culture, just a career path and a product.. which I think is a bitter pill for many fans who grew up in the culture, friends actually writing and rapping etc.. it was for me tbf

I will always give the utmost respect to lyricist, that's a talent I'm in awe of., that's why I always check for talented dudes on the mixtape circuit or sound-cloud.

But same ways I do business & associate with artists who are trying to be the Kanye's, Dr Dre's, TI's and Drakes of the game so I would be a hypocrite to say I'm totally against ghostwriters & rappers that claim more credit creatively than in actual reality, its all part of marketing and creating artistic authenticity that helps bring in the almighty $.

rappers should just keep it real..but expecting people to keep it real in the entertainment industry is a naive fantasy.

he wrote the hook and how is that a big deal?
It's not. It's just fitting that Pharrell wrote the core of the one song that actually connected with people in a way that transcended blogosphere dikkriding.

Because deep down Meek hurt him. First with Nicki and then with blasting him for using ghost writers.....with proof. He's a great actor, but he can't pretend anymore.

To be fair Meek had been taking shots here and there since his first diss flopped. Summer Sixteen was the first time Drake has really even addressed dude.
