Not only his bars are too clever but he’s kind of a self righteous prick I don’t think he would appreciate anyone else’s writing that much
yea i feel that's natural
Yeah without a doubt. I know all the TDE artists used to help each other sometimes.
This discussion is gonna be pointless.
What do we mean by help? Niggas suggestion line deliveries, flows, or lines in general?
Or the Dre/Kanye method where niggas got whole reference tracks out
They want to make it all one in the same to save #the #Canadian
I think Prince or D’Angelo may be a good answers here
Yup, throw in Joni Mitchell too
Can we clarify something. Are we talking verses only? Do hooks count? Are adlibs allowed? Is paying homage allowed?
I believe every rapper ever had help on hooks.
I'm not a gambling man so I'm not gonna bet a thing, but Tyler strikes me as a guy who takes pride in only ever writing his own bars
He interpolates other songs at points on IGOR but I wouldn't say that's the same thing

This reminds me of that Kid Cudi tweet weeks ago
"I wrote every song on all of my albums"
Yeah we can tell
Yea basically when Prince was doing the Batman soundtrack, he wanted it to be a concept album. Batman vs Joker
Prince would be the Joker & do all the more high energy tracks
And he wrote the ballads for MJ to do, MJ being the heroic Batman.
However MJ was still on tour with the Bad album and they were signed to opposing labels Prince with Warner and MJ with Sony so the whole thing fell through and Prince did the whole album himself.
crazy label politics f***ed up a potential GOAT album
Eazy e
he said this writing thing 2 eazy they only want eazy lyrics writers
also if you’re going to brag about how sick a writer you are make sure you buy out all the references via fixer
