3:36 Infinite, Relapse, and Recovery EM wrote every song on all those albums. But, great video, though.

[@carsondykstra8027]

I remember when people would always say that drake sucks and he’s not good because he has/had ghostwriters, but they would have no knowledge of insides of it

[@mikemallery3511]

would love to see a deep dive into the rise of southern hip hop or drill in general

[@sebastian5241]

THE SOUTH GOT SOMETHING TO SAY!

[@fxkcesar]

surprised u ain’t mention frank just a bit more considering he was a ghost writer and look where he’s at now

[@sebastian5241]

well he wrote songs for people like Justin Bieber, John Legend, and Beyoncé not really any hip hop artists. but Frank Ocean definitely deserves his flowers for his writing.

[@bladerkid21]

Did you know that Benny blanco has ghostwrote something like 47 #1 songs in his Career

[@swampwaffle74]

I love this video.

[@damonmcmann5293]

A ghostwriter is like a paralegal and the performer is like a lawyer. The paralegal gives the lawyer some information and the lawyer performs in court

[@ZroseBeats]

love the transition to youtube you’re the best creator when it comes to terms of being informative while still having your own opinions and personality too can’t wait for what’s next

[@epicarno6943]

Whats the difference between writers and ghostwriters? Also at what point do you lose respect for using them?

[@diogoafonsovitoriaruivo8509]

Slater talk about your thoughts on the new Kanye record Donda 2.

[@JayDotBell]

I'd love to! I've been putting it off since there's been constant Kanye news and updates but maybe now is a good time

[@BC-xu8yq]

Kanye's verse on Blessed is too Kanye to have been written by sean

[@mikototsu7282]

I love lean

[@coulochonou6376]

I didnt know violent crimes was ghostwritten up until like 2020, and it ruined my perception of the track. It is still absolutely gorgeous and one of my all time favorite's by Ye but it took away a lot of the appeal

[@DubLowConsulting]

What about all the song writer credits on Kendrick and Eminems albums?

[@DubLowConsulting]

Go look up "Sing About Me, Im Dying Of Thirst". What about all those writers listed. I don't hear any other lyrics from a sample

[@troydaly7855]

I was very disappointed when violent crimes was revealed to be ghost written. such a personal song

[@capalottyslimalini2878]

Lil Wayne also wrote for Detox

[@man2981]

loving the content man, deserves more attention

[@FATLLAMA]

THANK YOU!!! You’re the only person that understands the concept of a ghost writer. Just cause you’re credited doesn’t mean you’re not a ghost. Quentin Miller was credited the whole time and nobody knew he wrote for drake till meek said it and the album was out a whole 3-4 months before meek tweeted it.
