    I believe QM didn’t receive a credit for RICO and Blessings because it was a ghost writing situation in its truest form.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other features he’s given away that were ghost written as well

    Good thing nobody gives a f*** about your beliefs.

    If you look through YB credits it’ll just be him and the producer

    I love how you've spent the last hour proving that a person can contribute to a song without being credited and yet, you're using credits to insist YoungBoy has written every song entirely by himself.

    The difference is with Drake we have proof of all three infractions.

    Reference track? ✅ 😂

    Credited writer? ✅ 🤣

    Rapping someone else’s raps without crediting them? ✅ 😹

    This is a very fair argument. I do think that his continued reliance on co-writers ties directly to his crazy work rate. You even have people like Taylor Swift, who wrote her first couple albums entirely by herself and is known for her pen, starting to employ the services of co-writers when she ramped up her music output. It's usually what happens in these instances.

    It should be noted that compared to Kendrick and J. Cole, Drake has released about 2.5x more music than them across the same time period and that's not even counting features.

    Of course, that's not an excuse but it does give context as to why he'd need those co-writers from time to time because no one is releasing 500+ songs and not running out of ideas if there aren't fresh minds making contributions every now and then. No one has to agree with it but that's just the reality of making that much music at a quick rate. These artists aren't gods at the end of the day. They're human and creativity isn't a resource that's endless in supply for anyone.

    I agree with point about the volume of music. But that kind of contributes to what I'm talking about. No one (could be wrong from a contractual standpoint but doubt it) told Drake he HAS to release at this rate. I understand he wants to feed his fans and I respect that but the process in which he does matters too (just speaking strictly from the GOAT argument).

    Taylor Swift is a bit of a different conversation. Pop music isn't rooted in the same manner of individual competition of ability. It is and always will be more rooted in the final product and its consumption. Unrelated to writing, but I think she's someone who lost her "why" at some point and now has different motivations that she simply cannot admit to for narcissistic reasons.

    Let's revisit this conversation when you can provide proof of every song session for every NBA YoungBoy song proving without a shadow of a doubt that he's the only one who wrote them. Until then? ✌️

    You have no idea how the burden of proof works do you?

    If you make an accusation, it’s on YOU to provide evidence of your claim being true.

    You can’t say “I believe NBA Youngboy has ghost writers and unless you can prove otherwise, it’s true!”

    @Nikedufflebag did that for Drake and provided three different sources as to why he thinks Drake’s pen is questionable: reference tracks, co-writers, and ghostwritten songs

    Fair enough. I could be wrong but I think Drake has always been the kind of artist to feed his base and that's his reason for being so prolific.

    I can only speak for myself but the GOAT argument for me has always been subjective and not really based on who does or doesn't write all their s***. That's something that'll always be an unknown to the audience and rappers are liars. Because they say something doesn't mean it's true.

    Many people have Nas as their GOAT but we know he has worked with writers before. That doesn't knock him down a peg in my book because I've always understood that it's impossible to write hundreds and thousands of songs entirely by oneself without at least one or two people contributing — especially when it's being down on a mainstream level. That's something I became firmly rooted in believing when I better understood exactly how writing credits work and how even just contributing a word to a song entitles you to a writing credit.

    I believe sometimes, it's not even that they NEED the outside contribution. It's about getting another perspective that they find value in and then moving ahead with that contribution because it works and makes the song better and that's the only way to create art imo — unselfishly and egoless and doing everything in service of the song.
