    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.

    This is dope. Eminem has way more cringey, forced punchlines these days. Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.

    People think being lyrical and technical are the same. That's where the confusion comes in. Drake can be very lyrical at times.

    Drake can obviously write. He's written a few songs for other artists. Royce's point is can he be considered a lyricist if he got help. It all depends on how much 'help' Quentin gave Drake.

    You're literally parroting me one verse. I can do same to Eminem and discredit him as a lyricist.

    Drake a amazing lyricist? Nah. Is he a good entertainer yes very much so. I enjoy a lot of Drake but I can never really say he can spit.
    In the end though, who really cares? Just take it as it is.
