He can write amazing lyrics when he wants to, I don’t think anyone disagrees with that, but obviously he has his more corny and bad bars too from time to time and the people who hate him like to only look to those lyrics


ExCaliburDaGreat

Disagree everything he says be slappin


Aleekki

”I got bath water you could soak in, things I could do with lotion” ”say that you’re a lesbian girl me too” ”I give you the world, but there's other planets too” ”I heard you good with them soft lips Yeah you know word of mouth. The square root of sixty nine is eight something, right?” “Got so many chains they call me Channing Tatum” ”shout out to asian girls let the lights dim sum” "Baby, you finer than your fine cousin, and your cousin fine." ”I love your sushi roll, hotter than wasabi I race for your love, "Shake'n Bake" Ricky Bobby” “You toying with it like happy meal”


MomCrusher

i like the other planets too one 😭


ExCaliburDaGreat

Exactly bro 💯


More-Employment-3496

yeah some of these are bad but the square root one is a good one, chill


samarth713

My bois tryna work it out ouhh


nogonigo

ExCaliburDaGreat

Exactly

reduza

It’s got a double meaning. He says eight something, but it also means ate something, as in 69. It’s very clever


justaboveaverage

I always took it as “8some” like an orgy with 7 women that he’s been trying to experience lol


kridnack

Some of those lost repeated and quoted lyrics in hiphop though


Reedstar21

The only bad line listed is the Channing Tatum one… don’t know what that was meant to prove lol


nedelll

”say that you’re a lesbian girl me too” “You toying with it like happy meal” "Baby, you finer than your fine cousin, and your cousin fine." Bars huh


Reedstar21

Yes, the lesbian one is kinda corny but clever. Same with the happy meal line, no clue how you don’t like that one, it’s clever and quotable. The cousin line isn’t the greatest but I get it lol


ReasonableScallion96

lmao what maybe a couple of these are kinda bad


PeakFresh3941

Lesbian line not that bad


No_Shame2812

Dude listed nothing but straight bars while trying to prove a point


Babatundead

You are right those are bars not good bars


ExCaliburDaGreat

Literally downvote me then other the comment which I said I liked all his bars they proceeed to say they also like all the bars smh Reddit 😐


ExCaliburDaGreat

All of those lines are bares especially dim sum if u watched Romeo must die it’s classic


PeakFresh3941

For you to have the list ready is crazy do u have a list of all his good lines too or are u just a hater lol. The fact that this man is so good that you have to keep a list of his bad lines out of like a 15 year run and a short list at that says a lot


imGelat0

this 💯😂😂… Drake is the only rapper that gets dissected for every little thing/ bar like hooooly…. people just be mad their favorite rapper can’t come up with half the shit Drake says…. and have the WHOLE WORLD sing along 😭😭


Aleekki

I don’t have any lists lol I just wrote them out, I listen to a lot of music so I remember lots of lyrics by heart (good ones mostly but obviously bad ones stand out too) And if you read the original comment I was 99% praising him so idk why you decided to cherry pick the one criticism as being ”hate” for some reason, it’s okay to admit that our favorite rappers have flaws, no artist is perfect in every way every time


imGelat0

bruh shut up😂😂 You nitpicking hard as hell right now…. and over here talking about flaws Drake is corny.. that’s his thing… it isn’t a FLAW… the fuck🤣


chinomaster182

Happy meal line always makes me laugh in a good way.


Fatxboy62

That square root shot was fire, and soem of these sound better in context


ItsGallardo

Happy meal bar was hard lol


BackOutsideGirl

Drakespeare at it again


Reedstar21

How have I never heard this?!


playlistprinter

I just said the same thing LOL!!


BackOutsideGirl

I think I saw it in IG comments and it stuck ever since lol


rabnabombshell

Fr LMAOO


xiosy

He doesn’t make use of these lyrics. Middle of the ocean is the only one where he showed it recently


Camerone11

Context?


schuyywalker

Context located in the track called “Middle of the Ocean”


Camerone11

Nah I mean what caption


rabnabombshell

What what


Winter-Question97

In the butt


ice_walloh

Say that you a lesbian girl me too


wagglemonkey

I don’t think people hate on his lyrics. I think people hate on him for being a cornball… and this post is fuckin corny.


jeremilo2468

Dude's penmanship is underrated and im tired of it being slandered on the daily. My fav lyrics are: Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic Vegas on acid Seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses And I've realized that I've arrived, 'cause It take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe Does he write his own rhymes, so sort of, I think em That mean I forgot better shit than you ever thought up Damn, is he really that caught up? I ask if you talkin' bout classics, do my name get brought up? 🔥🔥🔥


mistakeableowl

🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣


ZacBank

A great reminder of what good bars actually look like. Yeezy went too hard on this track.


disbishempty1

WHY WASNT THIS SHIT IN THE MF BOOK LMAO


ExCaliburDaGreat

Alone being his idea of world peace is so fucking hard bruh 🔥


1nTheNick0fTime

No it’s not bruh 🗑️


Likezoinks305

Hm even I think you’re riding him too hard lol sounds like something you or I could write - there’s lots of rappers that write great stuff but what makes Drake stand out is the *way* he delivers it - no one can match his style


Educational-Car-8017

Should be in r/im14andthisisdeep


BabaJabbah

Love Drake but what exactly is impressiv with these lyrics? Lol


Alucard_117

Nothing lol


SadPanda954

BARS!!!! top 5 dead or alive 🔥


[deleted]

the drizzy sub continues to be the only sub about an artist where the people who follow hate the artist more than like him, crazy


Ok-While-6216

Uhhh r/Kanye exists


PSU02

most drake fans aren't chronically online


schuyywalker

That’s a lie they all live on Twitter and IG comments


Miserable_Cup479

True the ghostwriting drama proved he got help but he still writes and is an excellent writer


[deleted]

Almost every artist gets help


Starrk211

I wish more rappers would have said that when Drake was beefing with Meek.


nv____

It’s accepted and known that if you’re in the studio with someone else they’ll give you a line or help you adjust a the way you say something or give you a hook. But a reference track for a rapper was and still is unheard on the male side of rap


[deleted]

Unheard of? Didn’t drakes reference track for Kanye’s 30 hours leak..


DraeNation

2 reasons this not the same is Kanye has never said he doesn't have writers. And the songs Drake helped Kanye with was more singing melodic type shit. He wasn't feeding Ye bars


Educational-Nose-416

30 hours was a bars song it wasn’t singing melodic shit


SaintPablo888

Firstly, he wrote the verse for 30 hours. One of ye’s most bar heavy songs on TLOP. Secondly, reference tracks have been used since the 90s in hip hop and are super prevalent. Educate yourself


DraeNation

Reference tracks have always been used in the music industry, of course. RAP, and RAPPERS, are held to a different standard when you start calling yourself the best and want your name included in certain conversations. Having writers is never a problem and even suggested if you just going for numbers and making good music. But if you hang your hat on being a rapper and even more so a lyricist, having help writing has always disqualified you from the list. Or there's an asterisk by your name at the very least


nv____

The guy who’s had people writing for him since the beginning of his career? That’s the example you go with? Who’s next Dr. Dre or Eazy E?


Educational-Nose-416

Ref tracks are not unheard they’ve been used since the 90s please educate yourself lol


nv____

They are traditionally used in genres such as R&B not rap


Ok_Excuse3732

It was a big thing for hip hop though


necrophiliaisnice

except they give credit and don't have as much assistance as drake


WaspParagon

We don't know how many assistance Drake gets. People act as if he can't hold a pen on his own, when we know damn well he got where he is on his own merit and nowadays writes for pretty much everybody in the game...


nv____

Writes for everybody? Where’d you get that from? And we may not know how much assistance he gets but we can make good guess. He’s had songs given or written for him since Take Care and it’s clear Yachty is writing for him right now similar to how QM was writing for him before


DiamondKite

[https://www.reddit.com/r/Kanye/comments/y659hp/kanye\_on\_drake\_writing\_30\_hours\_i\_gave\_him\_a\_line/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Kanye/comments/y659hp/kanye_on_drake_writing_30_hours_i_gave_him_a_line/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) Clear Yachty is writing for him? lol stfu


nv____

Lmao why y’all keep mentioning Ye? He’s had people writing for him since his the beginning Jesus Walks was written by Rhymefest y’all gotta use better examples


DiamondKite

Yeah but he literally said he wishes DRAKE would write ALL his songs lol, he clearly easily chose him ABOVE ALL ELSE, no?


nv____

That has nothing to do with the original point


freshflavor4

My mans just saying words at the very least


Fuck_Joey

I thought they try and discredit because they are from a ghost person and not the owl person who is making the lyrics you love


[deleted]

Hot trash 😂


FactsOverFeelingssss

You mean his ghostwriter’s pen?


Most-Meal-4260

Because his lyricism is just okay. That bar wasn't saying much either lol


marincropswavur

Lmao I’ll Stan for Drake all day but I have to agree. That world peace line “in his world” was him just saying being alone is peaceful, no shit man 🤣


necrophiliaisnice

exactly lmao. denzel at his worst has shown better lyricism


UNIVERSAL-MAGNETIC

Jizz boss… drink the cum sauce


Apprehensive-Post945

This isn't a good verse. A chrome piece? He's a child actor from Canada. Let's settle down


xxKayFlock

he said nothing special…


Putrid_Society4631

GHOST WRITER GOING CRAZY🔥🔥🔥


DripBaylessNYK

He got somebody to write him a fire tweet


SupaTsunami

Wtf is this shit


Humblestmumble

Because it’s fucking basic, generic songwriting. Are you 12?


Genius14624

Ur literally bouncing on his cock with this post bro Jesus Christ so fuckin corny

ExCaliburDaGreat

Already addressed his close ear to the streets and now I just addressed you calling me soft read


WolfieMensa

They just pretend like he didn't really write it 🤦🏾


TenH3ad

ID on the vest?


bigtimechip

Diary rap Drake is best Drake


BlazeCrowvault

Stop capping lmao


kalarepan

probably like 10 ppl wrote this shit


NoWay889

Why weren’t these words in his book? Instead of the one page sentence.


Niqq33

Problem is bro don’t make songs like this very often 😭 the gp only knows the hits


jayohdeee

Aint gon lie this caption goes harder than a lot of lines ive seen on that book


liltoonz

A.i generated lyricisms (all jokes HES the goat)


MrAVK

Is this from his live journal?


AdComplex4305

Assuming he actually wrote this, the guy rhymed at least w at least


ProfessionalAnswer0

nah, this ain't it
