    Lol @ "intelligent discussion"

    But yeah no idea why people are pretty much ignoring it. I think it's part of the reason I can't seem to get into views now. I know he's not writing his stuff that much, so his content almost instantly becomes uninteresting

    To get signed to OVO you have to sign a contract that says you will slave yourself away in a tent trying to write Drake's next big hit.

    He barely writes his own material, he barely chooses melodies, he definitely doesn't produce beats...
    So at this point he's pretty much a Hollywood actor that's bought themselves a rap career.

    I have absolutely no problem with people ghostwriting tracks. I understand in rap there is the being real element, but with every other genre it is completely acceptable, so if someone can come up with a better hook, then i dont see the problem.

    When I went to look a bit ago, I just clicked on the most obscure name figuring if PND was credited, that would be his name lol.
