    Jay Z's validity hasn't taken much of a hit even though he's been accused of ghostwriters before. :dno:

    srs question, what was the last song ye produced? cause I'm far as concerned, he doesn't even produce by himself anymore..from what I remember, most of yeezus was daft punk and rubin right?

    Yeah but.... This idea that if you're a producer/rapper, it's okay if you don't write every single one of your lyrics but if you're strictly a rapper, it's forbidden, doesn't really make sense. It doesn't really hold up either. For instance, Eminem is a producer/rapper, I know for a fact he hasn't written every single lyric in his career but say some star artist called him out on it, you don't think he'd receive backlash as well?

    Ye basically has a whole cohort of producers at his disposal these days.

    He produced "Tell Your Friends" by the Weeknd I know for sure. And I think he produced some song on Rodeo. Outside of that idk.

    here's the way I see it

    eminem is very very lucky his first three albums were so good because he is 100% incapable of making music like that again. but just off the strength of those first albums, he's still somewhat respected

    the situation with kanye is exactly the same except it extends past 3 albums, pretty much straight up to Yeezus. no matter what kanye does at this point, he's virtually untouchable

    drake has been hit or (slight) miss throughout his whole career imo so other than take care, it's not like he's built up a huge repertoire to fall back on when s--- hits the fan. he doesn't have what eminem or kanye has, that's why his future from here on out is SO important

    I think he's in a very comfortable place musically rn though. very strategic, thinks quickly on his feet and cranks out diss tracks like back to back with ease in just days. he possesses the skill to tack on more classics, something the two former artists I'm afraid cant quite do anymore

    dont s---t me tho, obviously we know almost nothing about Ye..just a hunch

    And I don't mean forum users derogatorily, it's just that we're more inclined to nitpick and be phaux-critics than the general public

    I guess technically speaking, Miller wasn't credited for the Rico verse but like what was Drake supposed to say? "Aye, here's that verse and can you make sure to give Q. Miller writing creds too?" lol like seriously... Clearly Meek had no problems with the verse prior to him finding out about Q. Miller. The song was put on his album for a reason. The funny part is that Meek uses the same flow as Miller did on the reference track.

    it doesn't hurt his legacy because drake fans don't care about rap legacies
