So did drake put a gag order on that ilovemakonnen nikka?

[beenz]

Drake is using him a ghost writer and to borrow songs from, same as majid jordan and pnd. Hes using them like what he did with weeknd on take care.


They will never see official album releases other than those struggle digital releases with no promo.

so basically the same shyt kanye does with the likes of cyhi, GLC, and rhymefest

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.

I agree. I dont understand why has long been accepted in EVERY other genre of music, but when it comes to rap, fans expect their favorite rapper or producer to perform and create 100% of everything they put out without ANY outside assistance. that kinda thinking is dumb when you really think about it.

That No Ma'am cut is fire tho.

Exactly.

 

[HearNoEvil]

dude dropped a bunch n bombs on his twitter a few years back that got exposed around the same time as the drake ones

I remember being literally sad at the fact that nikkas cared more about the Drake diss than being called a n****r by that fat fakkit

basically fukk makonennen I hope he dies in a car accident and his funeral doesn't even trend on twitter

Because rap is such a personal genre and its origins are from the streets. That's why.

Once it went corporate say bye to all of that. Like Dre said "the music business is just that. A business"

Weekend gave Drake

Shot for me
Practice
Crew love

And a few others.

Look up weeknd billboard interview from 2013 or 2012

That's not 45% which was the claim and it's not like he wrote those songs in their entirety. There's not a few others those are the only songs where he has co-writing credit...

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

Take Care is basically Abel's album

Maybe those were the best songs on the album to you but I was fukking with Underground Kings, HYFR, Lord Knows, Look What You've Done too. None which "Abel" wrote so no it is not Weeknd's album because he did a few good records. Also, again there's a difference between what "Abel" did and ghostwriting, nikkas acting like Drake was on some milli vanilli with no input.

because every other genre of music you have to actually be doing something

i couldn't sing like beyonce, i don't care who wrote the shyt

i couldn't play like slash, i don't care who wrote the shyt

if you hand me ether, and hand me the beat, then hand me a reference track to copy............ WHAT THE fukk DID I DO WORTH PRAISING??


now if we writing TOGETHER... i'm writing my shyt.. you throw me a line... you write a hook.. i write the second verse... some nikka in the back throws in 3 bars for the third... i finish it up...

ok well i did some shyt at least... i did the majority of what I'M rapping about... i'm writing the lyrics (the hardest part of rapping)



so that's why people have a problem... you other genres don't brag... you don't see pink saying she sings better than ciara... then ciara puts on another bytches song and lip syncs

so why would i hear 300 songs of a rapper saying he's the best rapper ever and nobody can fukk with him... only to find out he wrote nothing and all his bars were handed to him

[KravenMorehead™]

Pretty much a label full of song writers..just like G.O.O.D Music...

damn

 

[It is a mystery]

Who are all of these other people you mention. Drake is clearly a 1 man act :drake2:

 

[CHICAGOrilla]

nikkas out here making 1930s ragtime trap music




if that song had trap drums it would be piff

 

[CrimsonTider]

Breh Weeknd admitted he gave tracks to Drake with vocals already on them.

Lol weeknd wrote songs on take care. Hes already said so.

Further more its not just about say makkonen ghost writing some 16,he could be giving drake melodies,helping with a a line,a cadence, giving him a whole song that drake then puts his own stamp on with revamped lyrics.


Music is about collaboration, if you think drake is sitting in the lab writing every single word,creating every single melody I dont know what to tell you other than youre either a huge stan or incredibly naive

Exactly. The weeknd was his "muse" for take care. But he did in fact write full verses on take care,abel spoke on it.

Its pretty obvious thats why weeknd bounced. He wanted his own career not to be a background player feeding drake songs etc.

So weeknd left and drake scooped up some more "muses" to help him. Theres nothing wrong with that, some artists like having that role. Its pretty standard in music.

But ovo is nothing more than a vanity label filled with writers and producers to build drake as a brand. They aint building anyone else over there.

Yeah ABEL did about 45% OF TC. He said it on Reddit Breh. He used Abels whole landscape.







Exactly.



Cosign

so basically the same shyt kanye does with the likes of cyhi, GLC, and rhymefest

There's still not 1 single source for all the incorrect BS yall are spewing

Saying crew live was originally a Weeknd song is not the same as The Weeknd writing half the album

 

[DallasTxRep]

I thought this ghostwriting shyt was basic, common knowledge
Jay-Z is perhaps the king of this ghostwriting shyt

FYI....having a ghostwriter doesn't always mean having RAPS written for you
