So if we give the tracks to you....you going platinum? We could give the tracks to Shannon Sharpe....you think it would be successful?

Why rappers use autotune, punch in and double up vocals if it's mainly about lyrics? They all alter their voices which usually doesn't translate live.

Rapper is about performing it live and then putting it on tape with the same vocals and equipment tricks you did in person for the home experience. if the song starts in the studio it's questionable anyways.... technically you should rock the crowd first.


Most of these guys studio rappers anyways. Stand up Comedians at least work material at small clubs before they record it at a bigger venue for a special.

You can have all that corny shyt

Just don't call yourself the best
Have some decorum....even Diddy knew not to buy raps saying he's the best

Drake is excellent at mimicry. His early stuff was likely mostly his own work and he ran into a wall creatively.

I'm thinking he was never really writing like that. Think about it. Child actor. We already know he was signed before he "signed". Looks like an industry plant that the labels ran with, someone easy to control, someone "safe"...

I mean Beyonce had Ne-Yo and others write tracks for her. Does that make her a group?

Yall need to stop this disingenuous bullshyt. No other genre of music is as dependent on lyrics as far as artistic validation of its artist. Most rappers dont sing make beats, dance, play instruments etc


They rap and write. And if they cant even do that well what do you rate them?

Rappers are held to a different standard than any other form of music when it comes to writing their lyrics.
Anyone who doesn’t know this doesn’t know hip-hop and shouldn’t be on this forum.
Producers get some grace but straight up MCs don’t.

We need an investigation now into how Drake has so much money.

Most artists make money from publishing and touring. His songs now have 8-10 writers getting credit, unless he's just stealing all their money on the splits, how is he damn near a billionaire.

Or does his mom's side of the family furnish all this :mjpls:

They're being purposely obtuse equating RnB to Rap

:yeshrug:Y’all bruhs haven’t learned yet but the hiphop rules of old. Doesn’t apply today it is what it is. Listeners today don’t care about ghostwriters, or anything else that would’ve gotten you clowned years ago. Especially if you make hits just look back at Wayne kissing Baby or Ross being a CO. If the is music good fans could care less about some hiphop rules.

Beyonce, Whitney, Celine Dion etc.....they are voices. Incredible generational voices that don't have a complete gift for writing, but ppl want hear the voices singing great songs. So you have writers write.

Drake doesn’t have a great singing voice or a great rapping voice. It's less whiny nkw than it was when he was young tho. Point being, his voice and singing (or lack therof) ability is ACCEPTABLE IF, it the words were coming from his heart. Raw emotion.

But you can't sing, nasally voice, and someone else who can sing/rap is giving complete songs. Not acceptable.
