Sure, drake been collabing with people to create records. Every artist does, every rapper too…sorry to break your rap purist view. I was there before too.

But the reality is, music and art as a whole is a collaborative process.

Now I’d say drake has written 80% of his discog, but that number may be lower or higher. No one knows.

But I def know that he’s ghostwritten a lot of songs. Being a avid listener of his music since 09 (middle school days) I can see when an artist has drake “similarities”, the thing is that he does not put his name on many records because of how it will look to the industry and fans. He’ll only be credited on the big artists songs (ie beyonce heated)

Big mama by latto is a recent song that has no credits to drake. OZ, a close producer for drake is credited however. But the weird thing is the flow and the lyrics on the first part just sound so much in the cadence of drake. Meaning he wrote it for latto from her perspective.

Am i reaching? Absolutely not, this post will age gracefully in say 10 years when they make a documentary of drake turning the ghostwriter s*** on its head. Revealing all the big songs he wrote.

What are some songs you think were ghostwritten by drake?

Let me know

P.S. f*** Kendrick

Big Mama has Drake written all over it, TBH I really do think he actually wrote on it, like its no way Latto learned how to cosplay like him outta nowhere, and lets not forget he got sum going on with her sister

I mean, w/the exception of the Drake and Brooklyn stuff, you can do this for a plethora of records that have dropped over the past decade

Just because a song is stylistically like Drake does not mean he wrote it lol

But I think in regards to his writing and the ghostwriting stuff, it sucks because the people who push the narrative that he doesn't write have never set foot inside of a studio, never wrote a lyric, and have no idea what they're talking about.

For starters, Drake is a genius songwriter himself. So like, any discussion regarding his writing starts there.

I think it's clear that he can write the classic drake rap stuff, and classic drake R&B stuff. Where he commissions assistance at, is new flows, cadences, ideas, that are beyond his typical scope. I.E. Mob Ties. Records that won't be on his greatest hits per se, but help get him through the next 6 to 12 months. Every song can't be "Too much" or "5am in Toronto" or "Marvin's Room."

The thing is though, and this is where people get it f***ed up at, just like writing is a skill, so to is being able to hear demos and realizing that it can work for you. There's plenty of acts that would have heard Jumbotron from Yatchy and passed on it.

What f***s people up is that Drake is literally a producer, writer, rapper, singer, all in one and it's like people can't comprehend a rapper being able to be all of that.

He should get more credit for his use of writers, not less because he himself is a great songwriter.
