but i think you mean more along the lines of being the sole force behind what he's doing like actually writing the rhymes and shit, which again, you guys are weighing with a TON of weight over every other thing involved in making MUSIC. but its hip hop i get it, i frown upon ghostwriters and all that shit too. i think less of drake because of it, but i honestly view him as a producer. not in the dre sense, but the diddy sense. you still need ridiculous talent to be able to pick the beats,producers, the writers, to perform it and execute it, to put together cohesive projects that are dope etc. so i can look at him objectively like yea he is dope
but if you are just referring to it in the sense that drake doesn't write everything he says, then of course eminem gets the nod in one category that he writes everything he says.
