“Well I used to stay in Toronto now I’m in NY. Drake and Nickelus F. used to be seen everywhere in TO together about 6 years ago. He used to have a white Range Rover. He used to fly Nick out and bring him to Raptor games and s**t. If you search hard enough you can find all of these pics.

Nickelus F. is the one who got Malice on that song with Drake. Drake used to throw a lot of money around to get into the industry which is why him and Trey Songz is cool. When Drake was getting more known in TO he wanted more radio friendly less edgy lyrics so he switched up writers because canadian audience is really conservative. I know cats from Illusive Media who worked with Nickelus F. and they showed me that Drake paid for many of his videos and things of that nature for the songs he was writing. Also, Nickelus F. hooked him up with many connects in the game especially when he was in talks with Def Jam.

From what I heard from VERY reliable sources in the Drake camp and from NY is that this IQ cat was negotiating selling songs to Drake. Drake would buy hooks or entire songs (concepts and verses). IQ is Rakim’s protege, his pen game is mean. IQ helped him on a couple of records but Drake got pissed when he wouldn’t give him his personal records that he was gonna use for his own career.

Numerous guys in Toronto have contributed to Drake’s music. Richie Sosa being one of them, not a big collaborator but he did help Drake.

This information wasn’t too confidential because the studio sessions had many people present so everybody saw Drake and 40 asking for the rhymes. Another thing you can ask people is if they’ve EVER seen Drake actually write/think/freestyle/type/ or just overall create a song on the spot. NEVER.

There are possibly others that I don’t know of so I can’t give out any more info. I will leave you with this, Drake is not new, he’s actually paid top dollar for meeting with he biggest industry execs and he was shut down.” - KIA SHINE


Now I don't know how many of you listen to this light skinned lil' wayne but i've never been much of a fan (as you see in my sig) He is way overhyped and Cudi & Wale don't get nearly as much love as they should

Ehh so he doesn't write his own stuff? I bet 3/4ths of the industry doesn't.

Pretty much this. He's not the first person to have a ghost writer & he won't be the last.

I don't see how this "exposes" him. Most of the popular rappers have ghost writers or multiple ghost writers. 'And from the sound of it, this was all in the past. All in all I think your jealous that Drake is getting more exposure and love than rappers you like. If you want a real rapper, check out Z-Ro.

Agreed, but no other rapper has been outted on having a ghostwriter so I consider it to be exposed.
I'll check the Z-Ro guy out, ever heard MF DOOM? True underground shit

That should be obvious, For all the mainstream listeners they will still buy his music but the real deal rap people will lose interest imo. Maybe im biased because I don't like him that much ( sounds too much like lil' weazel)
