no one said this info was gonna change your life..
this section is for ppl to post about music related s***.. I don’t know what you were expecting from a reference track..
wow how interesting drake doesn't write some of his music
like what is there to talk about why would you post this
Yeah I mean there's been crazier things happen, maybe they were giving him lines.
Album credits are tricky tho, maybe those people inspired him or gave him words of wisdom when working on the album, and gave them a credit on the success story song
Idk, and honestly don't care lol
I suspect it’s basically just help with melody and hooks
Damn was a major step up in that regard and Daveon Jackson wrote on Gods Plan and s***
But that’s basically what I mean
Every major artist gets this help to an extent it just varies with how much they get/use
I can’t really tell but doesn’t this OZ version not say the exact same lines as drake? Sounds more like a flow and melody reference that drake tightened.
Yeah some of the words are different. Drake probably changed them to his liking. He did the same with some of the Quentine verses.
This 'reference track' is literally just the singy singy chorus on loop. Everyone is aware like all rappers usually have the singing choruses with vocals written by producers/songwriters?
It's not like the actual verses were referenced or something.
This is like if the 'loyalty loyalty loyalty' chorus was referenced. It doesn't mean Kendrick didn't write his actual verses.
Yea I know lol
How?
It's about a reference track for Drake?
music is a collaborative process
THIS IS NOW A DAMN. APPRECIATION THREAD

F***in love this song and video so much
The video is perfect. One of my favorite music videos tbh. S*** is perfect
Kenny and RiRi do their thing

Damn this is one of my favorite Drake songs in a while. Kinda disappointed he didn’t write it tbh.
The hook definitely OZ but that last psychopath verse was definitely Drake. Also Greece outro >>> Diamonds dancing outro
F***in love this song and video so much

Dahi went crazy on this beat, such a great track!
music is a collaborative process
Between the rapper, the producer and the rappers team.of writers
Y’all need to understand and accept something.
All your favorite artists use writers once they reach a certain level of success.
Each and every single one of them.
When you’re one of the biggest artists in the world, of course you’re gonna want use the absolute best songwriters and music makers available to provide the best quality music.
At the end of the day the only thing that matters is how the music sounds.
Nobody in the club’s gonna be like “Lol I’m not gonna vibe to this one cause the artist used a ghostwriter”
Your favorite artists’ biggest songs were most likely not written by them. And that’s perfectly fine.
They already proved themselves earlier in their careers. Now they get others to do the work for them. Win-win-win for the artist, writer, and listener.
Capitalism
exactly at the end of the day the most lyrical rappers who write all their verses aren't responsible for the song in totality.
there are producers who make the beat and even come up with the melody and hook.
I think.both versions are weak af.
I wouldnt have paid for this s***.
Nigga got too much money to know what do with

To me Kendrick doesn’t have a single pop song better than this
Between the rapper, the producer and the rappers team.of writers
ye gets a pass but drake doesnt
honestly idc much if someone helped/wrote greece or in my feelings or any of the pop singles since in pop its normal to do it and pop songs are usually some hardest songs to write
if i found someone wrote 5am in Toronto or draft day then thats something
i agree with @safe that most rappers are mostly likely getting help writing hooks since they aren't singers (probs good thing tho, huge weakness of rappers usually their hook game is weak which make the song not listenable)
i am sure when you first start writing hip hop tracks the part you focus on is the verses not the hook
Someone should find a kendrick instrumental, record themselves rapping the album verse and leak it as a reference track
To me Kendrick doesn’t have a single pop song better than this
When Kenny do pop better than drake
To me Kendrick doesn’t have a single pop song better than this
Good pop song but Kendrick feels tacked on.
