🦉The Official Drake Thread6️⃣ - Drake & PND Album Fall 2024

Is anyone still surprised at these new reference tracks though? He never flat out denied the whole writers thing, just kinda deflected around the issue.
Using writers should eliminate him or anyone else from being on anyone's list of top rappers. Writing your own bars is an inherent part of hiphop.
Kanye shouldn't mentioned as a top rapper either, he uses loads of writers. That doesn't detract from their legacy as artists though. Nobody can deny that Kanye is a great artist, whether you enjoy his music or not.
Drake's legacy in terms of being an artist/popstar isn't tainted by his use of writers but his claim to hiphop's throne is.

Yes it does

It can't be an inherent part of hip hop and not detract from the rapper. There's a difference in the way Biz Markie is respected versus Big Daddy Kane.

and it doesn't detract from Kanye, because he's like Dre or Pete Rock. Producers get that leeway.

You can be Queen Latifah or Salt N Peppa , but you're an entertainer and shouldn't be mentioned with J Cole or Kendrick. Just like a baseball player who uses PED's.
 
Calling Drake an artist is a slap in the face to all artist out there. Neither him or Kanye write their raps but putting him in the same space as Kanye is disrespectful as hell. This cat is most manufactured and put together "rapper" in it's history

Repped :hat
 
 
Here we go again... or wait idc if he wrote it or not as long as the music good... we using that one again? Or he's still the best, idc.

Isn't that what I said? Drake is a popstar, his use of writers isn't gonna taint his legacy as an artist/pop icon.

It does detract from Drake as a rapper, which is what I said. His claim to hiphop's throne is gone. He shouldn't be on anyone's list of top rappers given his use of writers. 
 
Legit every feature on here is a waste. Not a single one of them added any value to the songs, they're just there. I cant say I legit hate any of them but do I like them? Nope.

No features at all was never gonna happen though, but 5 songs only? I will take that any day and three of them are at the back end of the track so I can always hit skip if need be. 
 
Just noticed that my top played Drake songs are all from NWTS, idk, something about this album..

Worst Behavior
Pound Cake
Tuscan Leather
Furthest Thing
Started From the Bottom
The Language
Too Much
Hold On We're Going Home
From Time
305 To My City

Yo, this album was flames..:hat

Less debating, more celebrating..What are ya top played Drizzy songs?
 
:lol @ dude saying Kendrick puts up a facade while Drake bites other rappers and has a whole crew of writers.


I wouldn't be surprised if PND and Majid Jordan wrote most of this album. I hope them dudes got their paperwork in order.



He's not a rapper he's a pop artist

You happy now?

If he was classified as that it would be ok, but he calls himself the biggest and most successful RAPPER under 35. That's where the issue comes in :{

Y'all taking this **** too seriously


Michael Jackson didn't write all his songs. So he's not an artist now?

Y'all gotta stop using these examples. :lol

Everybody knows singers don't write all their music.
 
I can dig rapping, but a rapper with a ghost writer
What the **** happened?
(Oh no) I swore I wouldn't tell
But most of you share bars like you got the bottom bunk in a two man cell
(A two man cell)
Something's in the water (Something's in the water)
And if I got a brown nose for some gold then I'd rather be a bum than a ************' baller



Hahaha.

And everyone knows rappers don't either.

And that's exactly my point

The **** ain't that deep :lol

It's music. It's not like son out here avoiding his taxes or something


If the **** sound tight, then that's all that matters
 
I'd like to think no one wrote songs, performed them with all the melodies and cadences intact, gave them to Michael Jackson and he sang verbatim over beats.
