It isn't tho.You're blowing it well out of proportion
Jay-Z damn near stole biggie's whole catalog and that's not even ghost writing that's straight theft.
Yet when ppl mention greatest/best writers i guarantee Jay's name is still brought up as top 5.

Yall be reaching w/ that shit. Jay quotes Biggie to pay homage. I can't believe people still sayin he bites Biggie thinkin no one will find out in 2015. Smh.
And biting is < ghostwriting in terms of rap taboo anyways
OP you seem really salty that Meek didn't go harder. Fact of the matter is Meek is trash, Drake easily out raps him.
Thing is, Drake did indeed get exposed for having a ghostwriter and IF true in the game of rap this is a huge taboo especially for someone at the top of the game calling himself the King. This isn't pop, rap is all about your own skill as a writer. But I fear so many others might be doing it so they are quite about it.
Too many people came rushing to Drakes aid when he doesn't even deserve it. If you call yourself a rapper you don't have someone else write for you, not to mention Drake has been caught with similar stuff to this before when he paid someone off for having similar lyrics.
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.
In a world were "future" can sell records, u can't honestly expect the general public to really appreciate real hip hop. Game has changed like it or not. Ghost writer or not I still prefer Drake to some of this other bull that somehow gets acknowledge. "I'm in love with the cocoa!? Trap queen!? "... Wtf smh.. ..

are you fcking kidding me with that bold shit. That's theft. Theft from a dead man no less. I'm giving an example ,showing you that this shit aint new. Heck Ice cube wrote ALL of NWA's shit yet nobody got pissy over it. Heck you probably don't even check the credits of the songs you listen to, to see how many ppl ACTUALLY wrote it, and not just the guy in the title.
Kanye had a ghost writer on Jesus walks.
I can go on for days, lupe fiasco said it clear. Ghostwriting and reference has been around since day 1. This shit aint new, and the game has been fake like WWE.

Lol @ theft. I can't take your arguments seriously anymore. I already know not to take Sasuke serious but you might get added to the list. :lol
Lol @ you ignoring me literally repeating that ghostwriting isnt knew then reflecting that point as if I hadn't said it two or three times ITT.
You basically just mirrored the shit I already said...so why are you arguing w/ me? Aside from the Jay Z stuff which we're not gonna talk about anymore because of what you just said.

I'll be honest and admit that I owe Drake and his fans an apology. I read QM's post:
You must be registered for see links
As a rapper/writer from Philly, I shift my attention to Meek. Two words: BARZ ONLY.
I feel that Meek has a legitimate beef, but he needs to keep it bars. And Drake started da hatin'. Why not give a quick tweet about ya appearance on Meek's track? This has nothing to do with him and Nicki bein' an item? Keep it Hip hop, man. And when a dude you jealous of asks you to do a track, just say "no" from the rip. Jay-Z didn't sandbag you when you were tryna get a name; neither did Nas, nor Bun B. Remember what hunger feels like and respect it. As for my apology:
