As a lyricist myself I've never needed or felt comfortable with rapping anything anybody else wrote u can't take credit for anything u didn't write or beat u didn't create yourself.

[odinga]

He's an actor, he's always had people writing for him

[kokolatte]

Drake says all his best songs and biggest hits, he wrote himself. It's nonsense. If that were true, why would he need writers? I think Drake has ushered in a ridiculous moment in hip hop.
I think that's what Kendrick was attacking.

That didn’t age well reference track coming out 😂

Drake is a entertainer he will never be a MC

Drake is a hit maker songwriter and superstar even Kenny knows that, of course he occasionally uses writers but he's also written for himself and others plus most of his biggest and all rap songs he wrote himself. He wrote 30 hours for Kanye and heated for Beyonce so in My book he's an MC, Singer and superstar

It’s a miracle Drake made it this far doing what everyone else has done for many years with opposition. They all do like him but he is the fall guy. He even wrote for lil Wayne and we know he is good.

[jaywill]

So now the proof is, well I didn’t hear a reference track for that song so he must have written it. Nah bruh

[zengeki]

The problem is that there is doubt on Drakes records. Again, them superpowers are being neutralized, We can only watch in silence.

Drake isn’t AN ARTIST HE’S A PERFORMER

I’m definitely not a poet reading some else’s poem.💯

Let’s be real Drake was never in the conversation for BEST Rappers/MCs; One of the greatest Hiphop artists, sure but his pen was never top tier. He wouldn’t make top 50 in a list of best rappers (based on technical ability, lyricism, writing etc).

[town_ave]

Hes the dude that could....i jus don't but still wants the credit wen it doesn't work that way

[Voxzilla]

If you didn't write it, you are not in the conversation. You're a performer not a creator

[ToreezyTheLoc]

Your attention details is crazy💯 😍😍 keep going

[RoyalFlush.PressurePros]

40 told everyone in 2009 they had a team and also pen for other artists, that’s how they view the spectrum

[AWesker]

That's why they're called performing artists.

All of the greats performed songs that were written by other people.

Even Michael Jackson didn't write all his own stuff.

Why is it such a big deal now that its Drake?

[antdel]

MC - Mic Controller. Drake controls the mic, so…

[VishanRamnauth]

I don’t normally comment on posts but I’m tired of this narrative. Drake is an entertainer, to consistently put out hit records year after year, which he has done you have to have writers to produce a quality product, which he has. All the big stars did it, Michael Jackson etc. You guy sounds dumb the more you talk about. This might be appealing to the trauma portion of the population. The majority of the population don’t care about it.

Just cause you ain’t heard a reference tracc don’t mean he wrote it.
