Drake Teaches How To Write A Melody In 3 Steps

[@HowToRapOfficial]

Comment: What do you think is Drake’s catchiest melody, ever?

[@kayklash]

Well, idk about his catchiest ever but a few of my favorites include the hook for Forever, One Dance, and his song Legend.

[@bobopatchnosuke229]

305 to my city, that song was so dope.

[@ArbitratorsSanctuary]

Kinda bias my favorite is Nonstop. This is spme excellent advice.

[@Scarface-ez2yo]

easily the catchiest melody of drake is TSU

[@surreshk]

Talking about Triple X in three different songs might be the catchiest Melodies 😂

[@db4695]

People talking shit on drake don’t understand his writing credits. Dude written for Kanye, dr Dre (him and Kendrick helped on detox but it never released) him and Wayne used to exchange bars back in the day. He wrote 0-100 for diddy (then kept it lol) “Fuckin problems” was his song but he gave it to rocky as he felt the radio was over saturated with his music. Hate all y’all want, but his Pen is golden 📓✍🏼

[@SoulWarriorSF]

He helped on a chorus during the trash kanye years and it was still trash... Late Registration, Graduation, College Dropout, 808 and Dark Twisted Fantasy had nothing to do with Drake

[@SoulWarriorSF]

Plus, Kanye has been an helping hand in Drakes career since the beginning

[@astro22]

I think people love to hate on drake because he got many lovey dovey songs for the girls, but the fact that he is so versatile only proves how talented he is

[@SoulWarriorSF]

@@astro22 Nope... every since the "Best I ever had days" he's always been corny

[@astro22]

@@SoulWarriorSF He is always been corny, its part of him, that doesnt take away any of his talent though

The way you said the order of the songs is rhyming fr it’s some bars

[@coreyskixjewelry]

I think his best melody was "Energy"

[@bobopatchnosuke229]

One of my favourite Drake songs is 305 to my city. I think the melody was really dope.

[@JustLEO_sa]

In that case, you should check out Quentin Miller's "Thanks A Lot 3" project, super nonchalant and unorthodox style, which I think Drake liked enough to have him work on Energy.

Pure gold in so many ways. What a great video for any artist. I like how Drake talks about the creative process. The process has to be creative. It's so easy to get stuck in the engineering and the technology. Which is so inspiring and enables so much. But it can suck the creativity out of your process. MVP Joel "the process" Embiid.

[@xxrounds64]

4:04 this really hits! Rap is the only genre that we try to "standardize", and really have done so for YEARS. With rapping written lyrics being taboo, that allowed mumble rappers and extra prideful freestylers to emerge over time. I actually liked when Drake rapped off the Blackberry because I write too. I'm trash at freestyling but I can write like a MF! The rap community has gotta chill out fr

Do u know how writing works? A real true writer will tell you there's another force behind your lyrics. I use to write and go in a trance. Sounds stupid or crazy but that's when I wrote my best stuff. And I got props like crazy. People would ask: how u think of that metaphor? I be like: I honestly don't know cuz I don't remember writing it.

I think Drake gets a lot is slack by people who want to perceive him as an “artist” or “lyricist”. If we see him as an entertainer who writes well and gets ideas from others, and offers ideas to others as well, then it makes it easier to appreciate his work.

[@Impactframess]

Goat and it ain’t even close

[@Gainsforlife]

Drake a 🐐 goes to show Hollywood is a good training ground for musicians. Since they are two branches of the same tree. Rappers are mainly just actors on record. They dramatize stories to portray a certain image/picture. Music is kinda corny underneath everything when you think about it objectively as you get older you can clearly see how hip hop targets the youth

[@Sav_Thomas]

Ya swear drake can’t write yet he somehow still gets respect from some of the best writers / rappers in the game so what that u would say actually write their music. Make it make sense 😂

[@julifer9211]

[@shuvonbamberg4368]

I’ll always respect Drake for using the 48 laws of power, how to win & influence friends & coming to America where people swear they know that stuff & he played innocent & took over the game under our noses. Drake is the definition of do what’s logical. Like todays artist are very unprofessional and illogical to the point it’s hurting their longevity.

From what I can gather, Jay Z not "writing" is somewhat of an urban legend. There's interviews where folk in the creative process have said he uses audio recordings of himself and intense repetition to craft lyrics/songs. Still advanced, but over the years it seems like I hear people always claim he freestyles everything on the spot. (not saying that doesn't ever happen occasionally)

[@Scott-rq7nu]

Jay truly is good enough to go in there and think of 4 bars at a time and that’s how I’ve come to believe he writes. He is VERY intelligent.

I love writing lyrics and I love writing raps and I love writing songs but for me it is one of the most thankless soul killing things in the world to me. This thing is if you come up to me and you're hungry and I make you something to eat I mean more than likely if you're a decent person you're going to be like thanks man I really appreciate this meal. Music on the other hand feels like this. Imagine that same scenario imagine you're hungry you're starving you want something to eat. But instead of just me every single person around you is in the process of making you something to eat and they are all saying here eat what I have in the other person's like no eating my food in the other person's like no eat my food everyone is competing. Honestly I would not be surprised if there was a large amount of artists that committed suicide due to the just absolutely bullshit artist go through trying to get appreciation for what they created. There is literally a reason that most artists die broke. I mean shit I would love for that not to be true. I would love to not have a couple of hundred songs on my phone that on the day when I do blow my head off I will likely instruct my sister to try to put my music out there. Just for all that writing to have not been done in vain. But like I said I do love writing lyrics I love writing rap I love rapping but it is so fucking thankless.
