Rappers Who Were Exposed for Having Ghostwriters

[@Thisisbrobe]

Drake 100% doesn’t write all his own raps. His lyricism is too inconsistent. He doesn’t have a ghostwriter, he has multiple ghostwriters and changes them often.

[@rdc4461]

He also doesn’t understand the culture of the audience he try’s to appeal to even though he never started from the bottom

Hiring writers/producers/ image consultants will likely enhance the quality of your product translating into higher market presence. .

@@md.s2536 Right. No denying Eazy and Biz's contributions to hip hop are undeniable. However, my beef with Drake (whose music I used to like) is that he steals waves. Drake mines an artists' creative force like a parasite then discards them after they express achieving individual success. The Weeknd was really only the successful one who got away because he was already bubbling, smart, never signed to OVO and saw the grift early.

You mean to tell me someone ghostwrote Bodak Yellow? Really!? Lyrically the song is incredibly repetitive and devoid of any real bars, Cardi should get a refund.

[@LilAnnThrax]

There isn't ONE person who's into hip hop in any way that would have rejected that Kanye call at the time. I can't blame these guys for accepting these gigs. It would be stupid to say no.

Writing and rapping are two completely different skills. Just because you're good at one doesn't necessarily mean you're good at the other. Rappers in the 80's and early 90's understood this.

[@KINGVenxm]

Drake can go on & on about how "strong" his pen game is but at the end of the day, a strong pen doesn't need help with their bars. You def can't use that excuse when you steal flows from mfs like Soulja Boy who's arguably one of the worst rappers ever. If he was a singer then it'd be different but as a rapper, if you're not writing your own bars then you're NOT an artist but an entertainer

[@romaretaylor9953]

Drake is a singer and a rapper, his actual rap shit Is def his pen you Can hear similarities in his style from comeback season from 07 all the way to scary hours 3 from December lol if you even heard that EP. I’m not saying his pen is Nas/andre 3000 level obv not but that doesn’t mean he’s untalented and can’t rap. The grey area is bigger than you realize or want to acknowledge

[@KINGVenxm]

@@romaretaylor9953 you don't fully comprehend my comment. Never said he wasn't talented & never said he couldn't rap. I'm simply questioning the strength of his pen game due to him having ghost writers & I'm saying this from a writers perspective, not just a fan. Can't call him one of his best rappers when he's hasn't written all of his material & I def can't put him in the same category as Cole, Kendrick, 3000, or even Lupe Fiasco

Drake and cardi get so much shit for it because that’s all they are is rappers/singers but ye can do it all and structures songs so beautifully that drake and cardi could never be on his level

[@Dee-7414]

And this is because just like Dr. Dre as much as he uses ghostwriters. His true talent comes in production. But the difference between YA and Dr. Dre, ya really wanted to be a rapper.

All that structuring and production is just smoke and mirrors, though. Fact is when Ye writes his own stuff, he ruins the beat. I don't know why people enjoy it.

When you hire a ghostwriter, you’re turning a creative endeavor into a business endeavor. And that’s just something I can’t respect. What’s the point of making music if it’s not yours?

[@jspankin]

Are you serious? They are NOT making music as a hobby. Investors have invested (average half a mil to a mil) in their careers and expect a Return on their Investment. It would actually be dysfunctional to ATTEMPT to do everything yourself just to get 'street cred".

[@plexxarbiitch]

@@jspankin yeah I get that and I don’t respect it at all, that’s the entire point of the comment. If you want the music you like to be purely made to line some record labels pockets, then you do you buddy + the music’s trash anyways Also, you completely misunderstood my comment, I wasn’t saying that the rapper should do “everything themselves” just for “street cred.” I was saying: as a rapper, you should at the very least write and preform your own songs.

Even if Drake didn’t have ghostwriters, i still couldn’t see him on a list of the “top lyricists today” . He makes good music, but to say that his lyrics are above average is just stupid. He makes mediocre music for the average person who’s just a casual listener of rap/pop. Someone who doesn’t care about rap/pop beyond the surface level is the type of person to hype up Drake lmao. And nothing is wrong with that. Music NEEDS artists like that. But to compare him to artists like Cole and Kendrick just blows my fucking mind
