RELATED: Quentin Miller Speaks Out On Drake Ghostwriting Rumors
Meek Mill‘s tweets last night has had the entire hip-hop sphere talking about Drake having ghostwriters, with plenty weighing on what that actually means and questioning if Drizzy actually needs them. Some have come out in defense, others have denounced him as a Top MC, while other folks have taken the songwriter route and broke down what the credits mean in the liner notes.
While this is no definite answer to the accusations, this will certainly bring in to question how much Drake actually wrote on past songs. Thanks to Funkmaster Flex, we can now listen to a preview of Quentin Miller‘s (Aubrey’s alleged ghostwriter) reference track for “10 Bands.” As you can hear, they are the same lyrics heard on the If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late track, except sung by Miller. You can guarantee the full reference song will surface sooner rather than later.
Do you think Drake wrote the verse for “R.I.C.O.” now?
No one can question my involvement in drakes career. We have come a long way together. So let me start by putting something into perspective

I can't count the hours that myself and drake have spent writing producing and recording music. Let's just say… 5000 hours…

If your asking if he contributed to if you're reading this… Yes, he did. You can also see that by reading the credits. ?

No one is as talented as drake. It's not worth my time. I need someone who understands song writing on a higher level…

Rap has a stigma about writing your own lyrics and rightfully so… its a very personal art form and its rooted in speaking truthfully.

Thankfully for me drake isn't just a rapper. He's also a musician and a producer and a creator.

We've been fighting those rules from day one. If no one noticed there weren't many singing rappers in '08
