See this is the type of shyt I'm talking about.
We have proof for Drake. Meanwhile both Nas and Jay Electronica point blank said that he never wrote for Nas. This has been cleared up since 2012:
Jay Electronica Dismisses Nas Ghostwriting Rumors, Calls Him A 'Godfather'
I swear every Drake thread is full of people quoting supposed "facts" that have no basis in reality.
Fred.
The only arguments people have for ghostwriting are:
1. "B-b-b-b-but other rappers do it" - with no proof.
2. "Singers don't write their own songs, but we still consider them great" - ignoring one glaring obvious thing - the talent of singing.
You can get on YouTube with a guitar, turn on your webcam and sing John Lennon with all your heart, someone can look at that and see your talent, and sign you,
because your talent is your voice. You can sing in a way very few of the human population can. They know they can give you writers, buy your wardrobe, and teach you how to dance, and give you a shot at stardom.
You
can't get on YouTube, turn on your webcam and spit a Jay-Z verse word for word and get a record deal, because
there is no talent in recitation. Being able to read and recite rap lyrics doesn't make you a rapper, being able to
write and then perform your own words makes you a rapper.
Please, people, I am so tired of reading and hearing the "singers don't write" argument. Even from people who should know better like radio personalities.
