    My point was that hip-hop was founded on shady behavior but still acts like sole authorship is essential.

    Meek made that debatable. That's all it takes.

    A huge thing everyone is missing tho is these were all throwaway songs on IYRTITL that he decided to put out, maybe he doesn't use ghost writers and this was a rare occasion or maybe he usually makes it his own more and didn't because these weren't even meant to be legit tracks

    This is most likely how things went down with Drake as well.
    Makes sense since Drake has openly said he idolized Kanye when he was coming up.

    The difference is that hip-hop listeners were under the impression that Drake writes everything. Those writing credits could have been coproducers for all they cared. This isn't a Kanye or a Dre who are chiefly producers, this is somebody the masses would have their little dumb a--- barbershop debates about. Also a rapper whose fans feel a personal connection with. Then they got the type of reference track that offers solid proof to the contrary. They feel deceived and Drake fans, for the most part, are busier denying or obscuring it more than they are saying that it's part of the game and has been forever since Sugarhill g--- bit Grandmaster Caz.
