    You're actually right, i don't like most of his music. And i'm salty because he's constantly brought up like he's the best thing to happen to music..

    I just feel like not enough people dare to speak up against Drake because of the aggressive stannery that you'll have to deal with.

    Good point. I just feel like retaliating after hearing about Drake on other sxn's and forums so much.

    Cyhi is credited on every song and its been said by I think malik yusef whose close to ye that cyhi did a lot of it, and amber rose infamously said Travis wrote a ton for yeezus and Travis himself spoke on how he influenced yeezus, and then the rest was done last minute brainstorming with Rick rubin because the night they were supposed to send out the cd to the label he still had like 3 songs worth of lyrics to do and he and rubin sat down right there and finished it up in a few hours

    He very well could have but it's been documented the way Kanye writes s--- is he has his crew in a room and they just brainstorm lines, so no matter how much of the input is actually his he's gonna credit anyone who chips in even if their contributions didn't make it to the final product.

    Guess so.. it's certainly a good way of getting the creative juices flowing. It sounds to me like a competitive back and forth.

    This is most likely how things went down with Drake as well.
    Makes sense since Drake has openly said he idolized Kanye when he was coming up.

    A huge thing everyone is missing tho is these were all throwaway songs on IYRTITL that he decided to put out, maybe he doesn't use ghost writers and this was a rare occasion or maybe he usually makes it his own more and didn't because these weren't even meant to be legit tracks

    That's a great point. He's too personal of an artist to be taking verses written by someone else and just repeating it.

    And if this was truly an album/mixtape full of throwaways, then VF6 will be amazing.
    Really? I was quick to say NWTS was a let down after TC, but some of his best records are on that project IMO.

    I'm in the minority in that I think NWTS was his best project yet but IYRT slaps more than any other project

    I just can not get behind his lyrics. They never hit me emotionally.
