1. Always thought Rihanna was considered pop... never heard anyone call it R&B.
2. R&B is rhythm and blues.... Adele can sing her *** off but there's nothing R&B about it
I'm out tho. Gotta go smash and get ready for more hoops. Hold the hate down for me fellas.

Rihanna ain't no damn R&B she's the big forehead version of Taylor Swift. Hell she can't sing either.

When have Kendrick or Cole had someone write for them?
Maybe you just don't understand what producers and sample credits are.

I don't like them either I'm just saying some people put way to much in classification especially in hip/hop community where dudes still argue what is and isnt a "real" rapper.

The truth right here.
Back when Kendrick called out rappers on Control and the ONLY rapper that got hurt was Drake and the ONLY fan base that got hurt was Drake's. I could already see how my generation and people younger was lost on what Hip Hop is about. Drake was mad and upset that he got called out and his group of stans took the same stance. Acting like Hip Hop is not about competition. When it's one of the things Hip Hop was built on. Now dudes want to make every excuse possible for him having a crew of writers.
If y'all are ok with him having a team of writers, cool. We put him in the group with Rihanna, Taylor Swift. Maybe Kanye, except Drake doesn't produce anything.

The running hip-hop or that the early bird special Nters seem to be the only ones complaining about good music being dropped???

He's getting ether at other places besides NT. THE jig is up.
And I don't think you get to change the core of what a rapper is because there's one guy who just happens not to abide by the basic principles.

And I'm guessing you don't make music. People don't work with one writer. They work with multiple in multiple locations. They can go "I have this idea, what do you think" and send a framework with lyrics already down as what's called a "scratch." Kanye has these two where it's him mumbling nonsense on a track to get a flow down. That writer/producer then either rewrites what he had or layers and builds onto it then sends it back. You think ghostwriters are one dude writing a song and then sending it via gmail. No. It's a team of dudes collaborating and sending material and ideas back and forth to get the final product you hear. I've heard a Rihanna recording session. **** sounds like "we are the world" the number of people putting ideas over beats and she and her producers use what works. My friend mailed me a rough idea he had the other day and I expanded on it recorded how I think it should sound and sent it back for him to build on.
You're allowed to have an opinion but that's not what the discussion is. People are talking like Drake doesn't write at all and I'm saying that may not be the case.
Quentin Miller already told you he didn't write all those songs by himself. You just choose not to listen because of confirmation bias. You want to believe the thing that allows you to grab your pitchforks and torches.
I'm not even a drake fan. Just chiming in with some knowledge for those who are speaking on it without.

To make it clear I'm not excusing the ghost writing when he claims to be the goat rapper.
Just explaining what ghostwriting is and isn't for those who have it twisted. Just because you hear Party rapping/singing something on a reference doesn't necessarily mean he wrote the whole thing.
Again there's reference tracks for Jay that hve Kanye and Pharrell and Timbaland's voices on it. Unless you're arguing they wrote those whole tracks too...?

First of all pitchforks and torches , I don't have it out for this guy. I just don't believe the words of some guy who was on retainer for this N.
Second, I know plenty of people who make music and not just your average "let's go to the stu and record" *** dudes. So I'm familiar with the process, but I also know dudes who lock themselves in a room and don't come out until their **** is straight. Not "oh listen to this and tell me what I need to adjust." Yea, everybody is different, but excuse me if I expect more from Drake.
You bringing up Jay having dudes make songs for him doesn't really fly with me cause I don't repsect the practice period. Nor did I accuse Drake of NEVER writing, I'm just saying dude is a lame for constantly stealing people's **** and claiming it as his own.

I'm sure we'd all be surprised if we really learned what goes on behind closed doors with music. Kinda like when I learned Dre took beats from Daz and put his name on em.
