Gillie Da Kid Has Some Thoughts On Ghostwriting
He maintained that very few great songs were written by just a single artist. Gillie Da Kid defended Drake and let it be known it didn’t really matter, as long as the final product turns out dope.
“Let me just tell you something. Music is about going into the studio, having fun, expressing yourself. Sometimes it’s one person in there, sometimes it’s three persons in there, sometimes it’s five people in there. It’s all about cooking up the best. … Beyoncé don’t write all her music. Rihanna don’t write all her music. Taylor Swift don’t write all her music. Guess who don’t care that Drake ain’t write that music? The woman that’s going to suck his d**k at the end of the night. She ain’t sucking Quentin Miller’s d*ck. They don’t care about Quentin Miller.”
