This is awesome

What?????? A popstar/singer is getting songs written for them?

AK SAY IT AINT SO!

This is a literal fact? Belly has songwriting credits on like 40 The Weeknd songs.

mariah pushes that mf pen, that wasn't the best example to use

you could've easily said britney or whitney houston

He's the same person who started up the OVO sweatshop talk. He'll do/say anything for clout and attention.

Her and Weeknd both co-write

yeah i see you were relating it back to the weeknd now

also a big big component that people ignore is writing credits aren't only the lyricist. so a writer on the song doesn't even necessarily have to contribute to the actual words. i think tidal breaks it down completely which is dope.

Well, yes lmao this is not some new exclusive

That’s true although I wouldn’t be surprised if in this case Belly has had lyrics he’s written for Weeknd

yeah i was more talking mariah lol i really respect her pen game

So does Hush with Drake

its 2022 my guy

yo what is this insane screen layout

right 2/3rds is a still pic of weeknd and belly

left 1/3rd is ak's screen but cropped super small

over top of that in bottom left is ak's head in a square

top of left third is gfx telling you to subscribe

He's a Drake Stan.

Ak needs someone to write his diet for him

XO sweatshop

Belly living the dream

I doubt Belly has written and melody for Able, I think Able just bounces ideas with Belly and gets some lyrics from him.

Every artist has a writer

Wouldnt surprise me tbh

Belly has 100% written for Weeknd. It's funny how Ak is presenting something that's kind of...common knowledge?

Belly has been playing with melody since the mid 00's. IYKYK.

It's kind of an important conversation for music fans though. People need to digest the fact that Rappers and singers alike get full fledged songs, half songs, scattered lyrics with hooks, sent to them all the time.

You're absolutely nuts if you don't think guys like Hov, Kendrick, Cole, whoever haven't been sent beats with hooks on them, beats with a hook and a verse on them, aka references.

It rarely is ever two artists sitting together, literally writing the song together. That's not what cowriting is. Once we realize that references do not equal someone writing for you then we'll be better off as a culture 💯

Honestly...why would you doubt it?

He's alllll over after hours. He's good with melodies. What's there to doubt?

I don't even think this is a big deal lol

Weeknd's already proven 1,000 times over as a writer.

But with that being said, what did niggas think was happening w/him when he's got Max Martin, Belly, etc. all over his albums lol?

wow did you know that Abel has other people mix master and distribute his stuff too. scandalous

GUNNA WUNNA same difference
