I’m a Drake fan, not to the point where he’s the end all, be all however…
How could anybody listen to Back 2 Back, and then Duppy Freestyle…and then sit there and say that this dude isn’t battle tested nor can he really rap. I’m legitimately confused…do people actually listen to these records? ::Shrugs::
Push Ups strikes me as a track that people a year or two from now will go back and listen and say “Damn, maybe he can rap.”

Drake still got ghostwriters.
You think a mf thats touring that often has time to sit down and write multiple songs?
Critical thinking is lacking in a lot of people these days

Nah he just used writers for that one whole album. And that feature on Rico. And when he took all that material from the weekend. Oh and the whole thing with lil yachty. Never before or after tho. His pen game certified

Does the Ghost writing thing matter?
At this point everyone just accuses everyone of doing it...
Even if it's proven drake has Ghost writers, that fan base doesn't give a damn about it.

In the context of 'can this dude really rap' I think it kinda matters 
. He makes catchy songs and all that but can't really consider him a rapper in the true sense

Really?
You’ve never heard a song where he’s “really rapping” ?

He uses ghost writers so what is really rapping? His pen is tainted. Pause

Drake is good at what he does he's just not a rapper like that. Dr. Dre don't write his own rhymes either. He's still great just nobody takes him seriously as a rapper. Cardi b etc.. Same situation here. All of that stuff is confirmed, he did not beat the allegations. He's been DQ'd from that conversation imo. It is what it is

Drake derangement syndrome is real.
Something about Drake that causes people to make the most insane arguments.

The ghost writing thing never really sticks to Drake and never will because most of the rappers his generation and younger...do the same thing. that's why most stay quiet on the subject.
Drake was just the first one exposed.
it's ironic Meek Mill beef involved Drake and Meek fighting over access to Quentin Miller.
it's really only older rappers who still hang on to this, but the reality is as hip hop transitioned from subculture to the dominant form of youth music. it shed it's subculture rules and idiosyncrasies.
no different from punk musics transition from Punk to grunge to pop-punk.
Bomani Jones put it best recently, Drake is like Michael Jackson; a great songwriter who also does great covers.
and generally it's always really obvious, I was complaining on here when All The Dogs came out it's clear Yachty was the main collaborator on some of those songs. I would guessed Jumbotron**** Popppin was prob the most obvious one.

He got exposed and didn't even deny it. Just said he helped change q miller's life. Made a weak analogy to Jamaican riddims and called it a day. If you wanna believe it was an isolated incident that's up to you I guess. It's just a fact that bro gets his raps from fiverr. I don't even think q Miller gets residuals. So how can you be in a convo for best bars when you don't write your own bars. A lot of yall have IYRT in your top 5 and he didn't even compose the lyrics or flows. It's not adding up 
Like I said he makes good songs and all that. Just can't put him in the 'best rapper' category

you can keep repeating this. but it just won't make it true.
at the end of his career he will be considered an all time great rapper. it is what it is, no matter how badly you want to go back 1991.
