Now we find out WHY Meek Mill outed Drake...

[kannon]

Turns out Meek Mill only outed Drake for using Quentin Miller as a "ghostwriter" because Meek wanted to use him too, and QM said nah.

Wtf are u talking about?

[Mr. J]

Did you know Diddy had a ghostwriter...tis true....and Dentist Dre

[Certain]

Puff Daddy was a label owner, and Dr. Dre was a legendary producer (and later label owner). The same is true for Kanye West. Even Drake makes sense because he came into rap with a built-in hype machine and name.

But if a guy like Meek Mill isn't writing, then what's the point?

[Mr. J]

the point is a lot of people have ghostwriters...& its not like anyone cares Drake is still going to sell records because hes wheelchair Jimmy

same way Dre is always going to sell records because hes a great producer

this is just another way to stay in the spotlight along with Meek marrying Nicki Minaj.

Music is music.

Having a ghost writer just excludes you from being put into a "best lyricist" category, doesn't stop you from being the "best artist" though.

but how much else is he really doing to be considered an artist? if ur a rapper, and you dont write, you arent a rapper. your just a voice.

if u make beats cool, if your a label owner cool i get it. shit, even if u can sing i get it. at least that shows a shred of real talent. but if ur just a rapper and u dont write, ur wack period. ur more pop star then rapper. more like britney spears than KRS. i have no respect for those cats at all.

[King]

real quick example, what makes u get excited when listening to a rap song?

when someone says something dope right? dude doesnt start spitting and ur like "this rappers voice is amazing" lol. its all about the lyrics, if the rapper didnt write them himself he deserves no props.

i hate ghostwriting if i havent made that obvious

Of course it does...being the best artist = being the best in all artistic categories, the biggest of which is lyricism...where else does the art come from? Sounding good? I dunno if I would consider that art, but it is a talent so I guess it contributes. I understand ghost writers if your main strength lies elsewhere...showmanship, business, producing...do your thing and make your money. But if like Meek your appeal is in your lyrics and what you say and the words you say aren't actually your words...where is the art coming from?

If you had said the best entertainer I would agree.

I do think how often you use ghost writers comes in to play, if you write most of your lyrics but go to someone for a few hot lines to give it that extra something, I don't have a big problem with that, but if all or even most of your shit is written by someone else, I probably won't listen to your music...I find it difficult to care about a rapper who isn't speaking his own thoughts.

Dream chasers 2 was dope

Bring that meek back

Not this emotional fagot

[SHECK WES]

@Knucklehead we can't all be Jewish faggot

[Burd]

all i really care about is Views from the 6

[uh-oh]

Yea thats the whole thing. You are a rap singer if you aint writing. Singer/entertainer. You aint jimi hendrix. You are his guitar. Your the instrument the artist is using to make music.

[Greed]

As much hate as meek get, his pandora slaps.
