    I wonder what’s the process of getting signed to an imprint. Especially someone like Smiley. Do they just want you to play them a bunch of track or is there a point when they want to see you put together a track/lyrics over multiple instrumentals so they can be like “ok, this dudes got it”

    I think they go based off what you've put out and what they determine your potential to be.

    Dumbest s*** to do tbh. Pretty much ruins any trust from the jump and jeopardises a potential collab. Sharing private messages is wack

    Drake can certainly give him some pointers but I think it sets a bad precedent writing songs for an artist you just signed. They should be able to do that themselves. That's the only way they'll truly grow.

    do it on a collab so nobody know lmao

    This guy very descriptive telling stories. If he slowly and creatively incorporates that more into his music he could be something

    Would also hate my DMs being posted. Who the f*** in their right mind would think it’s alright?

    All for clout I guess

    Drake has posted DMs. He probably just doesn't like it without permission and how frequently it happens to him

    Drake should help write for smiley like he did for Baka (the songs that hit) or just help him smooth out the less palatable aspects of his s***

    You want Drake to hold Smiley’s hand for his whole career?

    Nah we don’t need this

    People came out and claimed that Drake used like the flows of 5 different rappers (e.g. Valee) for that hook so whose influence is it? Y'all need to stop with this s***.

    They’ll always try to take anything away from the man even his own ideas.
