qmiller-500x280 Quentin Miller Says He Is Not Drake's Ghostwriter!

After news broke at the top of the week via a Twitter rant from Meek Mill, the internet has been abuzz about Drake having a ghostwriter who pens his hits. Not only did he expose that info, he also gave us a name which is Quentin Miller. Miller is an aspiring rapper who by happenstance, got an opportunity to work with the Grammy winning rapper. The news came as a shock to the hip-hop community where using other people’s rhymes is almost prohibited unless you’re a producer or label head i.e. (Diddy, Dr. Dre, Jermaine Dupri) to name a few. We saw what happened to Bow Wow and Lil Romeo’s rap careers after going through adolescence with other artist’s penning their hits. After a few days blew by Quentin decided to address the issue via his Tumblr page, which is posted below.

Winter 2014… I was just another guy working a job he hated with a passion for music…. And somehow found myself on the phone with One of my idols..

i told him i worked in a bakery and his exact words were “Fuck that, your destined for greatness”…

Hearing that from someone that I’ve been  studying since 2009, bar for bar…. Theres no way to describe that..

Most of the project was done before i came in the picture.. i remember him playing it for me for the first time thinking “Why am I here?” like.. what does he need me for??

The answer is.. Nothing…  

I watched this man piece together words in front of me…

I watched him write/ replace bars 2- 3 at a time on 6pm in NY.. I witnessed him light up, go in and freestyle madonna….

I took notes from the best in the game….

I remember him Showing me the thank you notes in NY before the album dropped.. Showing me the QM, telling me they put me on the credits (Ghostwritter???) … He attached  my name to something that touched the world..

When nobody would pay attention, drake saw something in me and reached out… Of all people… drizzy..

Two artist in exact opposite spaces in their career.. We came together and made something special..

I am not and never will be a “ghostwriter” for drake.. Im proud to say that we’ve collaborated .. but i could never take credit for anything other than the few songs we worked on together ..

Thats all i have to say on it.. back to this 1317 shit…
