It’s been Meek Mill x Drake week all damn week long — and it continues once again. After meek called out Drake for “not” writing his Dreams Worth More Than Money collaboration, “R.I.C.O.” — claiming the help of Quentin Miller was needed. Although Drake has yet to address this bullshit publicly, he has responded via direct-message with the response: I signed up for greatness, this comes with it,” as well as a few prayer emojis.
Noah “40” Shebib, one of Drake’s best friends and longtime collaborator, also took to Twitter to help shine some light on the situation, stating: “no one is as talented as Drake” and has spent approximately 5000 hours in studio with the OVO honcho compared to 30 minutes with Quentin Miller. He also explains that Drake cannot be measured with other rappers who are stuck in their own boundaries, because Drizzy “isn’t just a rapper; he’s also a musician and a producer and a creator.”

No one is as talented as drake. It’s not worth my time. I need someone who understands song writing on a higher level…

Rap has a stigma about writing your own lyrics and rightfully so… its a very personal art form and its rooted in speaking truthfully.

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

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

UPDATE: Today, UK hip-hop duo Krept and Konan threw some shade at Meek on Instagram, putting Skepta’s cover of The FADER magazine over Meek’s, which Drake proceeded to like the video thereafter. Got damn, I love hip-hop sometimes. Peep game.
