But itseems like two years ago somebody could have figured out that Miller was ghostwriting for Drake by looking at Drizzy own IG page and interpreting some abbreviations. Here’s a post from 2014. Most of the songs on Drake’s iTunes are from Future’s tape Monster, but check the first two. Some eagle eyed fans are saying that in the first line 1da refers to Boi-1da, Q to Quentin Miller, and Noel for Drake’s engineer Noel Cadastre. This would suggest Miller also worked on the Tyga diss ‘6 PM In New York,’ which is also listed as “ref” for reference. Miller isn’t listed in ‘6 PM”s official credits. What do you think? And it does it even matter at this point?
Aug 12, 2016 Only other writers credited on the song are the 3 producers, so I doubt it. Also doubt he's dumb enough to basically snitch on himself. '1da/Noel Ref' can mean a lot of diff things, most likely that the beat was probably unfinished and Drake was writing to it as 'reference'.
Aug 12, 2016 As calculated as drake tends to be, I doubt he would've let something like that slip. He probably sent those to the producers to see what they think
Aug 12, 2016 Anyone knows for sure if back to back wasn't Ghostwritten? Cuz if he didn't come up with the disses himself he didn't win the battle. Just curious if someone knows it
Aug 12, 2016 It's a Drake song so it almost certainly was ghostwritten Does it matter? Not really. Even as a foremost member of the Drake hater club this is not a big deal
Aug 12, 2016 Considering only a few drake songs have been proving to have writing help on them, it's safe to assume everything is drakes own words unless proved other wise. If this happened to anyone else, they wouldn't even ask if his other tracks werent his
Aug 13, 2016 I forget the producers name but what he said was they went into the studio really late at night and he was expecting Drake to take some time to write the track but that he immediately went into the booth and wanted to record and they did the track first take.
Aug 13, 2016 At first, I didn't believe that some of Drake's songs were ghost written, because I would say to myself "Who needs a ghost writer for these basic a--- rhymes" until I heard all those reference tracks lol. I'm more mad than upset, 6 PM in New York is really great in my eyes and might be the best overall track on the project. Sucks if he didn't write this.
Aug 13, 2016 Yup Legend was bad enough. No Tellin outro is way too personal, I'd be devasted if he didn't write that track.
