Mar 21, 2016 How can anyone even call Drake a lyricist when one of his verses started with "Last name ever, first name greatest"
Mar 21, 2016 Cause a lyricist is someone who write lyrics, no matter how good they are.. But he is not anyway
Mar 21, 2016 People think being lyrical and technical are the same. That's where the confusion comes in. Drake can be very lyrical at times.
Mar 21, 2016 You're literally parroting me one verse. I can do same to Eminem and discredit him as a lyricist.
Mar 21, 2016 (actual eminem lyrics below) Is it gay to play putt-putt golf with a friend (Yeah) And watch his butt butt when he tees off (Yeah) But uh, I ain't done yet In football the quarterback yells out hut-hut While he reaches in another grown man's a--- Grabs on his nuts but just what if It was never meant, it was just an accident But he tripped fell slipped and his penis went in His teeny tiny little round hiney and he didn't mean it But his little weenie flinched just a little bit And I don't need to go into any more details but What if he pictured it as a female's butt Is that gay but I bet you call Eminem a lyricist
Mar 21, 2016 This is dope. Eminem has way more cringey, forced punchlines these days. Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.
Mar 21, 2016 Anyway, rappers who pride themselves on lyrics have a right to feel this way. It's kind of a longstanding principle to write your own s--- dating back to when Rapper's Delight was supposedly lifted from Grandmaster Caz's notebook. That has no bearing on whether Drake is a good writer or not. It's about integrity.
