Why do Kanye West and Dr Dre get a pass for having ghostwriters but Drake doesn't?

    Because they both produce, all drake does is rap.

    This.

    Both Kanye's and Dre's first and best skill is producing.

    Drake's first and best so called skill is rapping but he doesn't do it himself.

    Not ticket rocket science tbh.

    I have to disagree with that. dre and kanye didn't get all that hate because they made it clear they were getting help from ghostwriters and all that s---. Drake literally tried to hide it.

    I've always seen Dre as an acceptable version of Diddy. They're both very similar in that they utilize producers and ghostwriters to do most of their work. Dre is more of a producer than Diddy though. In the end, ghostwriters/ghostproducers doesn't affect their bottom line.

    Love Live is essential tbh. It's basically K-On with more CG and twice the number of cute girls

    Sunshine is cool but not the same

    Real AF for mentioning Diddy. Eazy E used a bunch of ghostwriters too, He doesn't really get hate for it so lets throw that in there too.
