| Wendy Williams went on a quixotic quest early in her career trying to out closeted gay rappers. Posted: 19 Nov 2017 07:33 PM PST Murs' discussion of Gay Rap is what brought this to my attention. Did some googling and found one of the rappers she accused was Q-Tip - Sauce (rumor-ish article, but relevant). She's scum and I just thought hhh community would like to know. [link] [comments]  |

| A Complete History Of Drake's Wave Riding and Ghostwriters Posted: 19 Nov 2017 07:11 PM PST Atlanta artist Abraaccuses Drake of stealing her hook and using it on his track "Diamonds Dancing" https://www.vibzn.com/abra-says-drake-stole-her-hook/ Canadian rapper Mo-Gcalls out Drake for not paying him and stealing his dance moves. He claims that he gave Drake hooks, lyrics, and ideas and wasn't compensated enough for his efforts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw75fCR6Mbc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoeQPdFHxPU Sauce Walkacalls out Drake for stealing his dance move "Sauce Walk". The Sauce Twinz claim that Drake said he was going to remix there hit song "2 Legited 2 Quited" but lied to them several times. They also claim that Drake is simply using Houston culture and not giving back like he promised to. http://www.complex.com/music/2015/05/the-sauce-twinz-2-legited-2-quited-interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqjN_i8vG1c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldL04Cmtho4 Earl Sweatshirtcalls Drake a "bit of a culture vulture" after he posted a video of himself dancing to Kodak Black's song "SKRT" (back when kodak black was unknown) https://pitchfork.com/news/61800-earl-sweatshirt-criticizes-drake-the-line-between-paying-homage-and-wave-riding-is-a-blurry-one/ AaliyahIn 2014, Drake attempted to serve as executive producer for an Aaliyah posthumous album. In 2012, the Toronto native dropped a track titled "Enough Said" featuring the deceased singer's voice. Aaliyah's devotees were not feeling Drizzy's new song or him overseeing anything having to do with Baby Girl – especially since longtime production partners Timbaland and Missy Elliott were left out of the process. Not surprisingly, the Drake-led Aaliyah album never materialized." D.R.A.M.One of the most publicized recent indictments against Drake came from Virginia performer D.R.A.M. He charged the Young Money signee of lifting his internet hit "Cha Cha" for the radio smash "Hotline Bling." Twitter exploded when The Social Experiment associate posted "yeah, I feel I got jacked for my record" on the social media platform. Users began debating whether the two songs were indeed similar, but Drake essentially admitted he purposely tackled the vibe of "Cha Cha" in the tradition of Jamaican artists recording over the same riddim. Fetty WapWith the crossover success of "Trap Queen," Fetty Wap stamped his name as an early contender for "Rookie of the Year." Then the New Jersey representative followed that triumph with "My Way." The song was originally listed as a Remy Boyz release with Fetty and Monty, but Drake subsequently added his own verse while also cutting Monty from the remix. FutureAfter the huge success of Future's DS2, Drake decided to drop a collaboration album with Future. Some people might feel this was an attempt to get some of the Freebandz boss' love from the streets and piggyback off his #1 album DS2. In addition, the soundscape of WATTBA left the impression it was a Future effort with some Drake verses thrown in. Jace of Two-9It's well known Drake has a certain appreciation for the city of Atlanta. His last two full length projects (If You're Reading This It's Too Late, What A Time To Be Alive) are laced with beats from ATL-based producers – proving there's no doubt Drake keeps an eye on what's happening in the A's music scene. So when Jace of the Atlanta Hip Hop group Two-9 accused Drizzy of stealing his work for the tracks "6 God" and "No Tellin'," more than a few eyebrows were raised in Drake's direction. "6 God" producer Syk Sense claimed Drake had that beat first, but there was never any clarification about the "No Tellin'" theft accusation. MigosFurther proof of Drake's admiration for the Atlanta sound came in the form of the remix to Migos' "Versace." Champagne Papi's version of the ATL trio's breakout hit put the single on the radar of a lot of mainstream music fans, and it also provided Drake with a new flow to use. Quavo and Takeoff have talked about how they gave the Young Money star their blessing, and Drizzy shouted out the Migos and producer Zaytoven at the start of his verse. However, the legendary Trap beatmaker stated he felt so many people embracing the "Versace" flow was a foul play. Zay expressed, "I know last year after ['Versace'] came out, every rapper that's in the game was using that same flow. So I almost see it as biting, because people will wear it out. Quentin Miller"quentin-miller-drake" The most talked about story in Hip Hop this summer was the Meek Mill vs Drake battle. The feud was ignited by Meek's allegations that Quentin Miller was "ghostwriting" for Drake. At the time he was thrown into the beef, Q.M. was not a household name, but he had been building his credentials in Atlanta as one half of the WDNG Crshrs. When the world found out Miller was allegedly paid to pen some of Drizzy's lyrics, people began questioning the platinum selling entertainer's authenticity. Quentin declined to call himself a "ghostwriter," but it was reported that his name was not listed in the credits for the Meek/Drake collabo "R.I.C.O.," despite a reference track of Miller reciting parts of Drake's verse leaking. (also reference tracks for 10 bands, know yourself, and blessings were released) The Weeknd"TheWeeknd-Drake-YouTube-screenshot" "That OVO and that XO is everything you believe in," rapped Drake on his song "Crew Love" featuring The Weeknd. Back in 2011, the two Canadians were openly intertwining their brands. So much that The Weeknd gave up nearly half of his own album to become the bulk of Drake's Take Care. The chart-topping crooner is credited as a writer on numerous cuts off Take Care. Aubrey was certainly the bigger artist in 2011, but The Weeknd's New Wave R&B sound was gaining traction thanks to his House Of Balloons mixtape which was released 8 months before Drake's sophomore studio LP. The man born Abel Tesfaye recently said, "I'm not gonna say any names, but just listen to the radio. Every song is House of Balloons 2.0." PartyNextDoor7 PartyNextDoor tracks leaked in 2016, two of them being reference tracks for Drake's songs "Legend" and "Company". One of the lines on PartyNextDoor's reference track for Legend ended up on Drake's song "U With Me?" http://the6track.com/2016/7-new-partynextdoor-leaks-including-drake-reference-tracks/ XXXTENTACIONIn January 2017, Drake previewed a song off More Life at Boy Meets World Opener, and rapper XXXTENTACION accused him of ripping off his song "Look At Me". https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.42424/title.xxxtentacion-calls-drake-a-pussy-nigga-accuses-him-of-biting# Ma$eDrake is liberal with his borrowing of flows. From Bay Area greats to underground legends, his influences frequently shine through in his raps. On the Nothing Was The Same standout "Worst Behavior," the Toronto native switches his delivery midway through, interpolating Ma$e's memorable "Mo' Money Mo' Problems" verse—at times, nearly word for word. Just another sign of Ma$e's enduring influence. Puff DaddySurprising news hits Twitter from Charlamagne tha God and DJ Sam Sneak that Drake and Puffy had a fight at a Club Liv in Miami during DJ Khaled's birthday party. More reports came out stating that the fight was because Drake stole Diddy's 0-100 beat and used it for himself. http://www.complex.com/music/2016/08/timeline-of-drake-puff-daddy-beef/aug-17-2015 4-TayDrake has settled a dispute with another rapper over copied lyrics, TMZ reports. It began when Drake's verse on YG's "Who Do You Love" mimicked lines from Rappin' 4-Tay's 1994 song, "Playaz Club". https://pitchfork.com/news/55924-drake-pays-100000-to-rappin-4-tay-for-ripping-off-playaz-club-lyrics-on-ygs-who-do-you-love/ Sean PaulSean Paul called out Drake for using dancehall artists and not giving enough accolades on his hit song One Dance http://metro.co.uk/2017/05/28/sean-paul-calls-out-drake-for-not-giving-enough-accolades-to-jamaican-dancehall-music-in-hit-track-one-dance-6667766/ Mr. VegasThe Kingston, Jamaica-bred musician makes it clear that he doesn't appreciate Drizzy turning Beenie Man into what he labels as an "intro artist" or "hype man" after sampling The King of Dancehall's "Tear Off Mi Garment" on "Controlla" and for taking Popcaan off the same track much to the dismay of fans. Drake also sampled Popcaan's "Luh Yuh Bad" on "Too Good" which features the biggest Bajan singer you know, Rihanna. https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.38902/title.mr-vegas-calls-drake-fake-for-not-crediting-popcaan-beenie-man-on-views Atlanta, Houston, Jamaica, and U.K.Drake's music has been heavily influenced by the soundscapes of the above areas listed. In NWTS he shouts out Houston repeatedly, in WATTBA he mimics Atlanta artists, VIEWS has a lot of dancehall themes, and More Life borrows from Grime culture. Unfortunately, Drake only decides to borrow from another culture when its most profitable for him. For example, in 2015 dancehall was huge in America so Drake filled VIEWS with dancehall songs. What do you guys think? Personally I feel like Drake's long history of wave riding cannot be ignored. He makes great music but stealing shouldn't be accepted no matter how good he is. If I'm missing anything feel free to give further information and I'll update this list [link] [comments]  |
