I think you're all too quick with your conclusions... QM is ovo, and he has a similar style/delivery that Drake had on his last album. Could've been just to help drake on how it sounds, ik someone's probably gonna say I'm in denial but I'm not just gonna believe some two-bit hood rapper without facts
This is the kind of shit I'm talkin about... if what you said was true that would basically be biting which is also a taboo.

Doesnt matter,Drake atleast changed it up in his own words abit

Meek mill butthurt because none of his songs close to being as good as drake.

You are a cornball. :lol.

Being a ghost writer doesn't make you corny, having a ghost writer.

Three or four.



Besides the obvious OG's and top 10 all times...

J. Cole has bars. Kendrick has bars. Killer Mike has bars(OG but since I'm reppin' RTJ I have to include him). Chance the rapper low-key has bars. Omen and Bas(Dreamville artists) have bars. Jay Rock can rap his ass off. Ab-Soul has bars. Plenty more I'm just not thinking of now, but before you get into those lame ass underground n*ggas, I don't listen to them.
iight you got credibility with the people you listed except Omen and Bas (don't know them/him). I posted a list of rappers I listen to not to long ago and it's more or less identical to this one so nothing bad to say there, I guess it comes down to opinion on the whole Drake thing but IMHO that n!gga can spit when he wants to.

Omen just dropped an album called Elephant Eyes, that shit was hot imo. Bas hasn't dropped much recently but I think he'll drop a mixtape soon before Made In America Fest., but check out his most recent album Last Winter.

I've been told that someone even raps the songs in the studio for him and he just has to repeat the flow. God damn this ghostwriting shit is f***ed up. I'm a Drake fan and I'm disappointed. Even if he changed some bars, Idgaf. That's stealing to me. I'd rather listen to a corny ass rapper who writes his own lyrics than a good one with "stolen" lyrics.

How can you be a ghostwriter if you were credited for helping make the song ._.
Also he was credited for Know Yourself too

I just want to see a confession or confirmation on this ghostwriter shit. The beef is fun to watch and all, but this is all because of the ghostwriter accusations, and I've yet to see anyone in Drizzy's crew directly address the 4-5 reference tracks that have been played. Not looking good for QM or Drake.
QM has been credited on both tracks released tho..... like... he's stating crap we already know.

All the tracks, so far. Meek and other people over here acting like Drake whole career is fraudulent now because some dude wrote him a few hooks and bars for a throw away mixtape... This stuff happens all the time - without dudes even getting credited for it. This is nothing to reach over.

I feel like Drake still needs to address it though. Especially the Know Yourself hook... how is someone writing a hook about your own origin for you, smh.

I honestly don't think it needs to be addressed if the proof is already there. Why say what's been said.


I could understand if it was on the hush hush, but technically it wasn't, I can't see you as a ghostwriter if you're being listed as an collaborator

But it doesn't necessarily mean that QM wrote all that for Drake, that's just what we're perceiving it to be. We're essentially just judging the book by it's cover. I've been in a studio, and seen more or less how it all goes down. People are always adding in their suggestions on how to improve on certain areas such, as lyrics or flow. Dudes would even demonstrate it for you, but it doesn't mean they wrote it. Either way, barring the hooks (which is taken by someone else all the time) Drake only supposedly took a few bars from QM, and tweaked them. Hardily anything major, but he should address it, if this isn't the actual case.

I always felt like drake wasn't the real deal. He's just another pop star but hip hops what's popular.

I mean can you even call someone an artist who doesn't make his own beats or his flows and rhymes. He's just using his image at this point, like rihanna or Katy Perry. When you're making songs like "All me" with a bunch of features, someone else creating the whole song structure and people who probably helped you with your flow, your basically telling us there you're full of shit.

I don't even care about the beef but I am happy this ghostwriter stuff is surfacing. Now I can rub in how right I was to a few people.

Exactly... I do give Meek props for calling out Drake's ghostwriter, but he did it in such a female way.

Lmao, didn't even know that until now, though it's still kind of disappointing IMO. Something like Know Yourself (mainly the hook) should come from Drake's mind and Drake's mind alone.

Right. People need to chill out with that BS. Drake has been hot long before this QM dude came along, and even then, like you said, it's just a few hooks and bars for a throwaway mixtape. Smh. People be killing me.

At worst this beef only taints drake's image. At best its water rolling off the back.

Having ones image tainted in this way is kind of a big deal :lol
To real fans of rap and hip hop, he's not in any top 10(Not all time) if he had n*ggas writing for him. That shit is corny. If the alleged is true that is.
Do you know how many "big names" had alleged ghostwriters? Fam. Lets not go there and keep the illusion alive.

It's really the vast majorities sensible consensus against a very select few without much of a grip on the reality of things. And even the ones that look at the situation objectively fall under the former category, rather then then the latters. You're always going to have people reaching without concrete evidence. Ain't nobody bitching or making a big deal out of this trying to discredit Drakes greatness, except Meek Mill and Flunk Flex - whom are both getting clowned objectively. As of now, QM still doesn't qualify as a 'ghostwriter'. It's nothing but uneducated, unjustified, and inaccurate claims without factual proof.

Charlamagne said it best. Despite the reference tracks being leaked to him as well, common sense led him to believe that Drake is way too talented for this to be true, without actual concrete evidence. And that's not what these reference tracks provide.

Would it make people feel better if QM chimed in on the begging of every song and said "hi, I'm Quentin Miller, and I helped write this song. We thought It just sounds better with Drizzy 's style and my plan isn't to be a famous rapper. Just, help make a few hits so I can live real well without having to wear a disguise to go to the movies. I hope you like the track, and thank you for listening...." lol.. But seriously as I keep saying drakes a great artist and an okay rapper but worthy of appreciation all n all.
