Drake doesn't write his own lyrics (Update 7/29/15: RIP Meek Mill)

Update 7/29/15
If you've been out of the loop, following Drake's "Charged Up" song Meek Mill was supposed to respond with a diss record on Funkmaster Flex's radio show.
Funkmaster Flex made fans listen to his radio show for 3 straight hours and 200 Fetty Wap songs, but nothing came. Then at around 11pm Meek trolled twitter with a "diss" video.
Fast forward to 4am this morning and Drake drops Back To Back.
*Update 7/25/15
Charged Up
*Update 7/22/15:
Moments ago on Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 Radio show. Flex aired live a clip of Drake's alleged ghostwriter, Quinton Miller, rapping over the popular Drake song "10 Bands".
Instagram Clip
Flex claims to have obtained the clip from a close member of Drake's camp. All I can say is WOW!
This is not a good look on Drake's legacy. Keep a close eye on hip-hop, this should make for a very interesting next couple of days.
Or so says Meek Mill during his late Tuesday night twitter rant.

Meek is coming off kind of corny, seeming especially angry about not getting a promotional tweet from Drake. He did the same thing to Wale after he didn't tweet about his debut album.
Other rappers and hip-hop personalities are chiming in. Will this situation turn into a Tupac/Biggie, Jay Z/Nas, 50 Cent/Game?
How will Meek Mill sell in the future now that he's alienated his biggest commercial music stimulus package?
Only time will tell.

Not wanting to be compared to all the rappers out there, Meek claims that Drake doesn’t write his own raps, and that’s why he didn’t tweet out Meek’s album because they found out. Meek also went on to say that Drake didn’t write his verse for Meek’s album, and if he would’ve known that before, he would’ve taken him off it.

"Stop comparing drake to me too.... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out!"

He ain't even write that verse on my album and if I woulda knew I woulda took it off my album..... I don't trick my fans! Lol

Who gives a frick. The majority of any type of artist out there today uses ghostwriters anyway.

Lol this is like if Phish criticized The Beatles, Meek Mill is really fighting out of his weight class this could get embarrassing.

This.
Meek just burned a lot of bridges. No one will want to collab with him given the possibility of him childishly exposing them for getting help with a verse.

I don't think anyone will think less of him for calling out Drake. Drake is the laughing stock of the hip-hop scene.

I'm not really sure.
Fans last night were vehemently defending Drake and mocking Meek.
I think that'll hurt Meek in the long run when it comes to sales and album reviews.

Drake is definitely Paul McCartney

Meek has some nice shite, but he's no Drake. Meek is on one right now because he's tappin' Nikki. She's in YM too, so she is probably tellin' Meek to chill out so there's no beef with him and YM and her in between. Drake and Weezy will destroy him if he doesn't shut it down.

Isn't this about as shocking as finding out that Arnold was roided up in the 1970s?
The genre really doesn't attract folks with singular talents (or hasn't in decades - old school rules), particularly not today. Image and name recognition is 110% of the market. The lyrics are largely interchangeable, repeated and repackaged. Ditto for the beats, which are, by now, the samples of samples of sampled samples of samples. Auto-tune makes all singers sound the same, particularly the females. What little "songwriting" that is done, is primarily done by song banks and the same groupings of collobarative producers/songwriters.
This is true of most pop and modern country music as well. If there was much of a rock scene any longer, it would be true of the bread and butter acts there, as well.
It is what it is - people don't get into music to make art - maybe they never did - they do so to make money. They then do whatever it takes to make money. The difference is, back in the day, there weren't machines or an infrastructure set up specifically to disquise an absolute lack of talent (and I'm not talking about talent deficiencies, but outright lack) - Bob Dylan wrote great songs, so no one cared if he sounded like he was singing through a kazoo. Elvis could sing a Denny's menu and sell millions of copies, so the powers-that-be commissioned songs to be written for him.
But - as talent is no longer required at any phase of the operation, you get what we have now. "Talentlessness" (I may have just coined a new word - deal with it.)

I agree with every goddamn thing you just said.

But a rapper with a ghost writer? What the frick happened? I swore I wouldn't tell. But most of y'all sharing bars like you got the bottom bunk in a two man cell
Posted on 7/22/15 at 4:56 pm to WestCoastAg
