We achieve a mastery of language and poetics that competes on the highest levels of discourse across the entirety of human history. But that’s not the point, the point is that what pursuing the craft gives us in terms of the intangibles is something that record sales or fame could never represent. The vast majority of rappers will never sell 100 records in their lifetimes let alone millions. Rappers who pursue the art form with this level of intention may not become rich and famous off selling their raps to a wide audience but that has never been an accepted metric to begin with in terms of quality or level of skill. But I know a lot of MC’s where rap is the first love and the first thing they think about when they wake up and the last thing they think about when they go to sleep. If rap is a side hustle for you or just a come up then by all means may the force be with you.

The phrase “I’m not a rapper” gets thrown around as if it’s a badge of honor. Sales, live performances, realness etc but the one thing that is the most important is the raps themselves at least in the eyes of other serious rappers.

Respect from other MC’s comes in many formats.

It’s takes years of work and trial and error to master some of its finer points. Some of the most pivotal moments in rap have been ghostwritten verses. It is nothing to go crazy over or be offended about unless you are someone who postures him or herself on the importance of authenticity and tries to portray that quality to your fans or the public at large. Ghostwriting, or borrowing lines, or taking suggestions from the room has always been in rap and will always be in rap. A Letter Part 1 of 2 To rappers from a rapper…simply write your own rhymes as much as you can if you are able. Lupe Fiasco chimed in on the conversation of ghostwriting via Instagram, saying it isn’t rare in rap (nor necessarily a bad thing), but that also radio has set high expectations for musicians. He did, though, apologize to his girlfriend: “I wanna give a special apology shout-out to Nicki Minaj for my crazy ass going crazy on Twitter.” Let him be great in all the mother-in’ lanes he’s great in.” The date of the recording is unknown and the song has since been deleted from SoundCloud.Īlso on Wednesday, Meek Mill joined Nicki Minaj on stage during her The Pinkprint tour stop in Bristow, Va., to shout out Drake (not apologize): “I was just upset as a fan… Shout-out to Drake. Flex claims, according to VIBE, that someone from OVO sent him the track. On Wednesday, Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex debuted an alleged reference track to Drake’s “10 Bands” by Quentin Miller. He continued to tweet that Drake not promoting Dreams Worth More Than Money is karma.Īnd I fuck with I reached out for this #DashEffect2 project I thought it would be a dope collab for the pplĪnd he told me FOH … #Support works both ways …now the universe balances out and now he’s abt not tweeting his album Roscoe Dash popped up and claimed that Meek Mill dismissed him when he wanted to collaborate on Dash Effect 2. I would rather buy mid than cop from you.” Bo1-da replied, also not directly: “You can’t have what you can’t afford.” And then came another tweet from Maco: “Don’t subtweet lame ass n-a. “I never highlighted your name like I never asked for any of your beats or attention,” Maco tweeted. Maco then responded to Boi-1da, but not directly. Go back to doing whatever you do and stop highlighting my name. The producer caught drift and told Maco to bro you look thirsty, chill. OG Maco also tweeted the name of Boi-1da, a longtime producer for Drake and others who is highlighted in the IYRTITL credits.

(If he’s credited, that makes Miller a contributing writer, not a ghostwriter.) Meek then tweeted Miller’s name, almost as confirmation.Īll this shit fake as fuck! Meek hating or these credits clearly say Quentin_Miller I’m sick of you fuck ass clowns /8e2y7khOAP He’s being honest.” He proceeded to tweet a screen-grab of credits of a handful of songs from Drake’s latest mixtape, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, that shows Miller credited (“6 Man,” “10 Bands” and “Know Yourself”). Meek just put it in the air,” he tweeted. OG Maco popped up in the conversation to back Meek Mill’s ghostwriting claims against Drake, pointing out one “ghostwriter,” Quentin Miller. PB9bHOAn6IĬhris Brown posted a now-deleted photo on Instagram of himself smiling and looking outside a car window, with the caption: “Chris Brown looking at Twitter like ‘for once it ain’t me.'”
