    The casual hip hop fan never cared. Ktt is a hip hop site 99 percent isn’t causal fans.

    Casual hiphop fans definitely cared about lyricism 15-20 years ago. And i wouldnt categorize everyone on ktt as hiphop heads either

    Drake has ghostwriters for hip hip songs

    yeah i dont excuse thats why he never will be in my top 20 of all time mc's

    but if he stuck to doing passionfruits i wouldnt care about him having 20 writers because its a great song

    Hmmm, I remember reading Anna Wise did some writing/co-writing with Kendrick but dunno for sure

    Consequence on hook of Encore for JAY Z (I always hear the argument hook doesn't matter)

    Wayne had help at some points for sure

    Atlantic tried to force Lupe to but nothing ever came of it afaik

    I feel like everyone, even the GOATs get help, just behind closed doors.

    Drake has Quentin miller pen the Rico verse. That’s an ultimate violation. He can’t even say it was a collab

    Hip hop wasn’t really casual back then.

    Wu tang literally would swap verses and write for each other

    Yall in here talking bout 90’s hiphop and don’t even know the history

    There’s some much more I could list

    QM actually only wrote five lines out of a 24 bar verse on rico, so this framing is disingenuous. collabing is always fine and that's exactly what drake and QM did.

    Drake is the one that was being disingenuous pretending like he wrote a hundred percent of it.

    Did he? He submitted QM credits on every other collab, but the final say on RICO was on meeks end

    Wrong again. The gymnastics that’s currently happening to defending having a verse written is disgusting.

    Drake wanted people to think he wrote the verse. Who even uses ghostwriters for a feature. Smh

    Idc who does what. theres no gymnastics either. a lot of rappers we don’t denounce had verses written to the same extent QM did for drake

    There’s nothing wrong with getting a few bars and flows from a nigga when u give him credit.

    Originally i was on meek side bc i thought QM was a real ghostwriter but it was plain as day for everybody to see

    Didn't you just confidently say Quentin wrote the whole thing?

    This logic is as flawed as you are stupid. Quentin got credited for every song he contributed to on IYRTITL. Why would Drake not credit him for R.I.C.O if he was so intent on keeping Quentin a secret? Quentin even had a shout-out in the liner notes of IYRTITL, lmao.
