We’ve been fighting those rules from day one. If no one noticed there weren’t many singing rappers in ’08

We go beyond the normal boundaries that rappers want to sleep themselves stuck in.

Thankfully for me drake isn’t just a rapper. He’s also a musician and a producer and a creator.

Rap has a stigma about writing your own lyrics and rightfully so… its a very personal art form and its rooted in speaking truthfully.
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
Sometimes that skill is used to recognize other great songs… Like in all forms of music… Except rap.

No one is as talented as drake. It’s not worth my time. I need someone who understands song writing on a higher level…
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
Anyways, I don’t work with many people. And there’s a reason….

If your asking if q contributed to if you’re reading this the answer is yes. You can also read that in the credits.

I’ve spent maybe 30 min in a studio with Q. Nice enough guy, very talented…
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
I can’t count the hours that myself and drake have spent writing producing and recording music. Let’s just say… 5000 hours…

No one can question my involvement in drakes career. We have come a long way together. So let me start by putting something into perspective

On Tuesday night, Philly rapper Meek Mill took to Twitter, the popular micro-blogging and feud-starting service, to fire a series of shots at Drake accusing him of using a ghostwriter. Drizzy was featured on Mill’s Dreams Worth More Than Money cut “R.I.C.O.,” but now Mill is alleging that Drake — who didn’t tweet anything to promote the album — didn’t write his verse. “Stop comparing drake to me too,” the series of tweets began. “He don’t write his own raps! That’s why he ain’t tweet my album because we found out!”
“The whole game know forreal they scared to tell the truth!” Mill continued. “I can’t wait tok these guys and sit back and act like they don’t know!” Mill later tweeted that Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole “really know how to rap.” Rick Ross, who was not mentioned in any of Mill’s initial tweets, decided to chime in, writing “Drake>>>>>>Meek” before deleting the tweet.
It was an eventful night on Twitter. Nicki Minaj — Mill’s girlfriend and Drake’s ex — got involved in a charged exchange with Taylor Swift after criticizing the VMA nominations.
Drake, meanwhile, hasn’t tweeted since July 10.
