The Ride is an instrumental with Weeknd background vocals. The Weeknd did NOT write any of Drake's verses you make it seem as if dudes are writing the music and Drake is just reciting like he doesn't have majority impact. I realize all artists have help.
Why use the term ghostwriter then? Especially when Weeknd has co-writing credit on songs like Crew Love and Shot For Me, and production credit on The Ride?
I wouldn't be surprised if Hold On Were Going Home was for Majid

Drake has admitted he has writing partners. A lot of labels force rappers to work with writing teams to come up with lyrics, melodies, topics. It's not that taboo. You'd be surprised if you found out how many rappers are just a face.

Weekend gave DrakeWeeknd hooks and background vocals on tracks that were originally his on songs like The Ride and Crew Love isn't ghostwriting. Yes rappers get some hel with melodies and word substitution thats different than what you're saying.
Which Drake verse did Weeknd write? 45% of Take Care.
Receipts nikka
Shot for me
Practice
Crew love
And a few others.
Look up weeknd billboard interview from 2013 or 2012
this cant be real
this legit sound like when an old lady giving a testimony in church an break out in song

Without those "background vocals" The Ride is just another Drake song with decent bars. Abel creating that landscape is what makes the track.The Ride is an instrumental with Weeknd background vocals.

Abel Da Gawd said:House of Balloons is the most important for me because I spent the most time on it. I didn’t have a deadline for that. As soon as I put House of Balloons out, I let the world know I’m coming out with two more albums this year, so I had my own little deadline. Before House of Balloons, it was all freedom.
House of Balloons was actually supposed to have more songs than it does. I had so many records left, and thenTake Care came through. “Crew Love,” “Shot for Me,” and “The Ride” were supposed to be on House of Balloons. I wanted to come out with like 14 records. I felt like “The Ride” was the last one, and it wasn’t done yet. [Drake] heard it and he was like, “This shyt’s crazy.”
How did you give it to him? Was it just an instrumental?
Yeah, we were making the drum loop and…oh, man, I had smoked I don’t know how much weed. Even Drake, he came into that session and we were all smoked out. It was terrible how much weed smoke was in that room. I was surprised I could even hit a note. I had sung this melody—it wasn’t a hook, just an unfinished lyric. And he liked it so much, he was like, “I need to have this, man…. I know I’ve already taken ‘Shot for Me’ and ‘Crew Love’ and this and that.” And me, I was hungry at that time. I was like, “Dude, take anything.”
In your mind, what was “The Ride” supposed to be?
There are two ways of making music for me. There’s a calculated route—like, I know exactly what I’m going to do with this song. And then there’s the free mind. That was one of the free-minded records. It was all subconscious. I’ll make the music first and loop it, and then I’ll go into the booth and start singing almost 45 minutes straight. And these are not words; this is gibberish. It’s a songwriter language. There are lyrics on Thursday, I don’t even know what the fukk I said. “Gone” was a complete freestyle.
When you do a feature for other artists, do you give them an entire song?
With “Crew Love,” it wasn’t like that. Like I said, that was my song. I had a hook and I had a second verse. And Drake heard it and he was like, “fukk, man.”
There’s a second verse?
Yeah, there was a second verse on it.
You’ve got to play that for me!
I fukking hate that second verse. That was a complete freestyle as well. I’m glad Drake placed his vocals on it. That song was so special to him. I didn’t hear that verse until maybe four or five months after I gave it to him. Even with“The Zone,” I was scared I was going to have to put out Thursday before his verse came in because Drake takes his time. He makes sure that he says the right shyt and his flow is on point.
It seems like your work on Take Care was similar to the way Kanye West enlisted Kid Cudi on 808s & Heartbreak.
Or when Jay-Z hit up Kanye for The Blueprint.
Do you think Drake tapped you to give Take Care that feel?
Yeah, he told me he wouldn’t be able to do the album without me.You can read it on the credits that he thanked me. I don’t know if that’s him being generous, but I gave him a lot of records. I made “Practice.”
What did you do on “Practice”?
That whole hook was me. . The rest of it was just shyt I was going to have for [House of Balloons]. He really wanted to incorporate my sound.
People think you guys aren’t cool with each other anymore.
No, that’s not true. Definitely not true. But it makes sense. The thing about Drake is I told him what my decisions were going to be. And he was down with it from the beginning.
