Why Ghostwriters Might DESTROY Drake's Career

With the leaking of 2 new reference tracks - one for Mob Ties, a classic record amongst Drake fans, and another reference track by PARTYNEXTDOOR - Drake is in a tough predicament.
He's fresh off the perceived Loss/ "L" from his beef with Kendrick Lamar, and is now being bashed online for barely making any changes to the reference track Vory created for Mob Ties. With that being one of Drake's biggest bangers in recent memory, the involvement of a ghostwriter adds a certain stain to his legacy. In this video, we'll discuss how this might impact his career going forward.

At that pushes him hard as hell. There’s even a video of Drake talking to another Jewish dude talking about their Jewish lifestyle and the dude was saying Drake is gonna be so big for the Jews

[@1017KitchenBoy]

J prince discovered him and put him on to Wayne. He’s still signed to him and can never get out it seems. That’s why Drake is so comfortable talking reckless bc J prince is highly respected in the streets

[@Culpepper206]

No. Not KINDA. YES it matters in HIP HOP if you don't write your raps. Why would you think otherwise ?? Why would you think the rap community would accept MILLI VANILLI ?? The pop charts and fans didn't. Why are people acting confused about this ?? Or is it that the Internet is trying to rewrite the rules ALONG w history 🤔🤔 *Edited : Thank you for STATING that in the video 🙏🏿💯

[@blackjay3771]

You Drake Stans don’t understand how bad this is? Imagine if Jay Z had a team of writers. What about Eminem? How about Nas or Tupac? Bruh… this is horrible. An MC’s whole identity is originality. While producers use ghost writers all the time, they clearly say so. But if you’re out here claiming to be the best MC in the world, originality is the number 1 quality to hold that crown. If you’re not original, you’re not the best MC. Plain and simple.

Bro, we don’t consider Dr Dre, Ye or even snoop “Lyricists”. We don’t care who writes for Pharell or Diddy. Drake is not primarily a producer and came in ad a rapper.

[@ThisSteveGuy]

Good video. Honestly, I couldn't care less what Drake's next move is. He's not even an artist at this point, he's just some guy rapping with training wheels on. Seriously, if Mob Ties wasn't really from him, then how can I believe anything he does is legit? Absolutely no top rapper in the game needs "reference tracks" from other rappers. That's just not a thing at ALL. The guy is a phony and if his fans had any self respect, they would be FURIOUS at him.

[@elijahmcelroy]

Stop mentioning Kanye, Snoop, Dre or anyone who doesn’t hold themselves to be the best Rapper/MC ever. That’s a different field. But if that’s who you compare Drake to, then he shouldn’t compare himself to Cole, Jay, Em, Wayne, Dot, Pusha, or even Meek. Yall actin like yall really don’t know the difference and IF YOU DONT, then stay out grown folks conversations

[@jarrettbattle9295]

I wouldn’t doubt Drake got a daughter out there somewhere, considering how he has been lying about everything else about his career.

[@AriesGirl7719]

It’s rumored that there are 3 other kids. 1 daughter and 2 more sons.

[@apollorojas]

What if, and hear me out, Drake outsourced those records that you say he wrote for other artists to his ghostwriting team, just to build enough credibility for himself? :O Nothing is outside of the realm of possibility at this point. Remember, Drake was an actor first!

[@mikemosley9933]

EXACTLY, a Created Character👍🏾.

[@Co1n-0p]

Emphasis on “what if”, so come back to reality because that didn’t happen in this universe

[@carlosi.1303]

​@Co1n-0p Drake is credited as a writer on some records, but if he cannot write his own stuff it does call things into question. Unless we have proof it is with an "*" but if he's such a prolific writer why have a team of writers and bite off lyrics from past rappers?

[@Co1n-0p]

@@carlosi.1303 exactly

[@apollorojas]

@@Co1n-0p My comment is not stating that this is what happened, only that it's possible/highly probable because of what we know. You're saying that it didn't happen, as if you're directly involved and have insider information. If that's not the case then your comment is based on your disbelieve that one of your idols may not be as gifted as he, and his corporate backing, makes 'em out to be. On another note, I write my own little rhymes and have never even gone as far as to use a rhyming dictionary because to me that's cheating. When I write it's my creation, something that I feel is awesome that came from my mind. There's a pride that comes with that. I say that to say that having someone else write your rhymes and passing them as your own is far from what hip hop is supposed to be. It's not only cheating but it either means that Drake can't write at all, can write but isn't good enough, or can write but this is solely a business (removing the actual art) and has a team to manufacture hits, because he can't do it himself. In my opinion, that doesn't embody the term artist.

[@SulminatiBoss]

Yes it definitely matters about making your own music, especially in hip hop it’s supposed to be authentic💯

[@leedurham3144]

Idk if Drake can write . When they say Drake wrote it. It could’ve came from his writing team

[@lavante8157]

You don't get to where he's at an don't know how to write music it's just impossible ross was also in the studio with him an confirmed he can write. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if he does have ghost writers all the greats pretty much did

[@Christo_Trismegistus]

@@lavante8157 dude has literally stolen his flows and you can listen to countless examples of others who have written his songs. he has entire sweatshop of ghostwriters. His biggest songs were definitely now written by him and more reference tracks keep surfacing. Dude should have just admitted from the jump that he didn't write his raps. And people don't judge Snoop or Dre because they don't talk to 14 or 16 or 17 yr old girls or get underage girls to sign NDA's.

[@msa6844]

[@TheVicV]

What’s become clear in 2024 is what some of us have identified as early as 2009, and that’s the fact that dude is a good method-actor and entertainer, an MC is what he is not and should not be mentioned amongst the likes of KDot, Jay Cole, Jay Z, Nas, etc… Drake is a Pop-tart and that’s ok and there’s lots of money to be made in that lane as he as maximized, he just needs to stay inside the guard rails of that lane, otherwise he finds himself in deep waters in which he cannot swim in.

[@AuburnFanSince2010]

Drake is a scrub

[@GwallaGotit]

Drake has never wrote bars for anyone else. Just rnb and lazy rap. Never a verse or song that got lyrical. Drake wrote 30 hr. Ei ei uh oh

[@DecaturQue]

If you hit the reddits it’s mad Drake reference tracks. After we know, it kind of doesn’t matter. It doesn’t make us think Drake can’t rap. He believe he can rap, but nobody wants to give him full credit for his career if he was known for PEDs. It’s not like the MLB in the late 90s early 2ks because everyone had the PEDs. Drake is doing something different. He’s a rap POP star so it’s hard to be mad at him. He moves to the Kanye, Dr Dre, side of the GOAT list. Even though they weren’t ripping people off, so it feels less exploitative even if it’s the same thing.

[@deana6072]

Crazy the narrative y'all spin 🤣 the cope is real where is "how Kendrick lost" video? Y'all won't even address twitter ghostwriting "Not like us" 💀 but excuses after excuses. Reminds me of when Drake lost and his stans were defending him saying "duppy is GOAT" While he got bodied by pusha History repeats he even got Taylor made taken down same way Drake cried to Jprince. Pathetic
