    Kanye bouncing around ideas in the studio and using lines/concepts, and crediting those people is absolutely cool in my eyes.

    Drake having a writing staff and walking around as the biggest rapper on the planet is not cool

    I really don't care as long as the end product is good, Eazy-E is an all time legend and he never wrote a line in his life. I clown Drake's use of ghostwriters a lot, but it's not him having writers that I make fun of, it's him having a team of industry professionals working on every song and still coming out with lines like "On my DMX s--- I group DM my exes"

    How do you know that drake doesn't bounce ideas around? im not a fan of him, but im sure he would write most of his lyrics or at least a large proportion. has the exact details of drakes use of ghost writers even been confirmed? ive never looked into it

    Of course I care. If what he's saying aint coming from him then he's fooling his fans.

    Personally I care, yes. If "Masta Killa" for example, would use Ghostwriters I would care a lot, cause I feel his music so much. Part of the reason why I do this, is cause I know that his words are REALLY HIS words.

    back in the day i didnt care when dre did it cause he was responsible for the fine tunes..
    he is a producer after all.

    i care when you say you re a rapper and someone else do all the work for you..
    rap used to be all about rhymes. what's a rapper without the rhymes?

    h--- yeah I care!!

    f--- that s---, it's basically cheating. Making money off a skill you don't have whilst others are starving.

    Only people I let slide are Dre ava Kanye as they were/are producers. They made their money using their skill, now they're feeding the fans.
