Part 1: • Quentin Miller on Losi...
Part 3: • Quentin Miller on Writ...
--------
In this clip, Quentin Miller talked in depth about the Drake ghostwriting situation and how he ended up working with him. Quentin detailed working with Drake in the studio, specifically for the track “No Tellin” which he said was a moment that felt as if he were just recording in the studio with friends. So much so, Quentin thought he was part of the OVO team, but later found out that wasn’t necessarily the case.
This bro is that type of person who puts friendship first. Only he didn't know that the world of the famous is a cold world and was simply used and forgotten.
Facts. That’s why half of the people quit trying to make it. They see how evil or un caring the industry is.
yea he wasnt built for this fr
Drake aint his friend tho, they worked on songs but that don't mean they're friends
You can really tell how much this time meant to him and how much it hurt him too
Facts. Dude really was grateful for those moments. Genuinely Happy and appreciative
Industry a cold game
They set him up by Nikki & Meek an Drama, after he helped propel Drakes Career forward
"And as for Q, man, I changed his life a couple times
Nigga was at Kroger workin' double time
Y'all actin' like he made the boy when I was tryna help the guy"
Facts
A lot of people would be bitter if they were in his shoes, but he still cherishes the whole experience. Much respect Quentin, stay at it.
In 2015 that’s when I said drake was the best rapper now an took the spot had no clue the flow came from this man when 10 bands came out I was 19 I said this is drake I said I knew he was good but not this good I never heard a flow like that Quentin is very creative then drake adds this smooth melody he said I been in the crib with the phones off I done hit a stride got my shit going that simple melody made that song even more better this is what makes drake so special his ability to structure songs yes he stole that man flow but when drake did that flow it sound 1200 times better than Quentin doing it it’s sad but the truth
@@Ontiming2023After listening to the reference tracks it’s fair to say Drake didn’t actually steal anything, Drake put his own verses in and also flipped some of Quentin’s ones. Apart from the hook or bridges Drake did his own verses. However what separates them is that Drake’s flow, cadence, voice and just the way he rides a song is elite and like you said how he structures a song aswell. I feel Drake should of kept Quentin close to him.
@@Richnigg840yeah ive heard some of the tracks to, honestly not understanding the whole "drake stealing" thing.
Quentin seems to prove the experience was very back and fourth, as well as a very COLLABORATIVE process.
People had me thinking Drake was stealing stuff disrespectfully and using plagiarism.
Just sounds like he felt he didn't need Quentin anymore, seems like Quentin thought this was some friendship but it was very clearly all business.
Quentin seems to have incredible amounts of talent and doesn't get enough attention, but it seems drake learned what he needed and moved on.
Drake also addressed this in an interview and spoke very respectfully about the situation
Unless im missing something, im not seeing the hate
@@Setogayamari You’re right. However I will say the reference track for Legend by PND Drake did use a lot from it I guess he couldn’t be bothered for that one. Quentin said that Drake told him without his contribution the album wouldn’t of happened and Q does seem like a very nice guy problem is I’ve heard is music I mean it just wasn’t for me, that’s the area I praise Drake in, his ability to make sound good. Still feel Drake should of kept him close but I guess after what happened he couldn’t anymore.
That’s a wintertime classic album. Every year I listen to it around Dec-Feb and it’s the perfect vibe for those dark early cold days. And I agree with Q, “No Tellin” is one of the best tracks on it the way the beat changes
Its not
😂😂😂😂
That's a basic bitch who says she likes hip hop's favorite album.
yea No Tellin the best track on there
I deleted every drake song i had after i found about this crap and never listened to drake again
I can hear the pain through his voice
or fed up of talking about it since he's talked about it 10000 times
Hope this man is doing well, he's been through a lot and too talented to flame out. Salute to him
He doing great he's still writing for artist
how did this backfire on him? like why he seem so down
@ShadowVille2770 he got jumped my meek mill, his identity as the ghostwriter for drake exposed so potentially lost deals to write for others I assume, and he lost his leg in an accident
@@GamingCentralTV1 appreciate the explanation cuz I was wondering the same
@@Shortballa11 basically, he got blacked balled. Yes he still writes for artist but not on a large skill. There is no doubt that QM could have been a bigger artist if it wasn't for the beef between Meek and Drake.
This man has such a humble spirit, God bless him 🙏
No Tellin was INSANE
Quentin wrote that
@@TheBrotherHoodSportscollaboration
@Richnigg840 Yeah, Quentin write, Drake record.
@@TheBrotherHoodSports so you believe the biggest artist of the last 15 years is a phony. I advise you to look up Quentin miller open letter, give it a read.
Bro, my heart breaks for this guy. He seems like a solid dude.
Solid dudes don’t open they’re mouth for their own gain. I don’t agree with anything that happened to this guy but solid he’s not.
Quentin Miller is one of my fav's. I hate that he isn't as big as he should be. Keep on making great music 🎶
IYRTITL is hands down my favorite Drake album 💯
Really? Over Take Care and Her Loss?
IYRTITL is a mixtape!!!!
@@rwchitown5570 nwts is crazy.... every song on there could of been a single
@@raymondreddington3572 big fax
@@raymondreddington3572 I said what I said. How is it a mixtape if it's all original content?
Man big ups to you for helping create a master piece
With no credit
@Sir Hoopalot he's got his credit now. Hopefully he can make something with it
@@modzookno stop it he didn’t get his credit
Decent album for Drake's standards but no masterpiece
@@SayWhat336 I agree that’s not even a top 5 drake project
I always thought how crazy it is that him, the one with the least, lost the most out of Drakes and Meeks situation they had.
he should’ve kept his mouth shut 🤷🏾♂️
@@jayellis981 Meek and Drama (Drake fucked his bitch and bragged about it), they are the ones who aired him out for no reason.
@@jayellis981 Meek?
@@DCMFR no Q. He let dj drama know what he had going on & dj drama blew his whole shit up. Gotta move different if you really wanna work 🤷🏾♂️
@@JAWS-ih1ww so we are blaming Q from the shit Meek caused?
This is one of the many rifts in hip hop that I wish would get resolved.
Drake literally stole this guys lyrics and said they were his
You clearly don’t understand how co-writing works.
And you clearly didn't hear the original 10 bands. Drake didn't co write shit - just edited 1 verse and 3 words from 2 sentences early on. Everything else was word for word. He "SENT" 2 Drake verses, and he said no telling was the only one they worked on together. You not listening
What’s crazy is this is my favorite Drake album
Same and most of my favorite songs on there were written by Quentin, respect to him for being such an integral part of my high school era defining album lol
@@PabloSanchezzzz drake wrote it to tho, co writing but this album i never go back to because he didn't write it his pen is in question
@@deshundillard1337yea co writing is one thing, drake has whole albums referenced for him i cant respect it
@@piffromney1916 whole albums wait what? no he doesn't
@@piffromney1916 what u talking about? if u know kanye has had writers since after his first 3 albums. i miss that kanye
IYRTITL was the project that got me into Drake’s discography.
They really made a great duo they gotta link up again for real collabs
He definitely gave drake some of his best shit
So much respect for Quentin. A lot of you should be thankful...
That was Drakes last best album and it’s crazy that QM had a hand in it 🔥🔥. He’s definitely got blackballed with his own albums
It ain’t his last best album.
What's his next best album ?
@@Angel.Alvare probably take care
With half the songs written by the weeknd. He not a rap artist he a scam artist with the hopes of being accepted. Tommy hilfiger stood out, but fubu never had been dude's collection.
@dav1II3
He has too much talent hope nothing but success for him 🙏🏻
Drake rhymes with snake
This was 1st Drake album that I liked cause It felt like an actual Hip Hop album to me. Then the scandal hit and I was like wow…
What a time 🤣😭hurt us all
Facts
✅
What actually happened cuz I’m a lil confused
@@aestheticallyzee Nothing. Just a dumb false ghostwriting rumor.
Damn he wrote some of drakes best songs
😂😂😂😂 i don’t even remember those songs from the album tbh
Plus all he prolly did was hooks 😂😂😂
@@Moe29886 hooks are the heart of the song very important ..
@@Moe29886 drake has been trash since that album you’re a super fan lol
He wrote the verses too. The reference tracks are all on TH-cam lol.
He’s like the man who built skyscrapers and then got to the top of one not knowing he was afraid of heights. So much talent for the music business but the bullshit it comes with damn near killed him. Glad to see him in such a peaceful place after all that.
In 2015 that’s when I said drake was the best rapper now an took the spot had no clue the flow came from this man when 10 bands came out I was 19 I said this is drake I said I knew he was good but not this good I never heard a flow like that Quentin is very creative then drake adds this smooth melody he said I been in the crib with the phones off I done hit a stride got my shit going that simple melody made that song even more better this is what makes drake so special his ability to structure songs yes he stole that man flow but when drake did that flow it sound 1200 times better than Quentin doing it it’s sad but the truth
Not talent Quentin has creativity not talent if he had talent his music would pop
@@Ontiming2023 did you ever take grammar class... at least use a period ONCE and a while
@@Ontiming2023no it wouldn’t there’s millions of people who are talented and will never make it that’s just the reality if you can’t market you not getting nowhere
10 bands is hands down one of my favorite drake cuts besides camera's
Quentin Miller could be James Fauntleroy of rap. But it's a shame that hip-hop frowns upon having co-writers
Great analogy
Well when it comes to RAP, hooks aside, that should always be written from the heart
In 2015 that’s when I said drake was the best rapper now an took the spot had no clue the flow came from this man when 10 bands came out I was 19 I said this is drake I said I knew he was good but not this good I never heard a flow like that Quentin is very creative then drake adds this smooth melody he said I been in the crib with the phones off I done hit a stride got my shit going that simple melody made that song even more better this is what makes drake so special his ability to structure songs yes he stole that man flow but when drake did that flow it sound 1200 times better than Quentin doing it it’s sad but the truth
It's still somebody else song Milli Vanelli
ong, that era was different and refreshing for Drake. That hook on blessings was too
Have you noticed how Drake has distanced himself from this album as much as he can.
His other his mentions them in IG and stories after 1,5,10 year or whatever but not this one. Like he’s not as proud because Quentin did so much of it
Yea his not proud because people know that quettin helped him with it , if the world didn’t know he was going to have a different attitude
Bruh can you use commas and periods next time? Your shits hard to understand.
You can see how sad he is about this whole situation especially after getting his leg amputated. The worst thing here is probably the fact that he did nothing wrong, both Drake, Meek & DJ Drama acting like this guy never existed after the beef and how all these guys are now good and shit.
What happened to his leg?
@@nyKeepitP He got it removed after a car accident
The fact that meek nem ran up on him, just for meek and drake to be cool a few years later. They both owe him an apology.
Dude played himself sadly
Drake don't owe him shit. He got payed he got credited. He did the job. Peace
@@boo1488 Drake owed does owe him an apology. Their business went wrong because someone in Drake's circle gave up information that was supposed to be confidential. Ruined their whole agreement. It's not Drake's fault directly, but just out of professionalism and gratitude, an apology would be honorable .
@realism1012he always said he collaborated. He gave an idea that drake used and tweaked. He said he watched drake write 6pm in New York by himself in the studio. Drake was experimenting with different sounds. How would he have said he didn’t help on Rico when the references are online??
NWTS is my favorite Drake album
I gotta be honest my 2 favorite drake projects are #1 "nothing was the same" and #2 "if you're reading this it's too late"
Drake’s musical apex
EASY! Those albums solidified his spot in the newer generations! Without those albums Gen z and late millennials wouldn’t have given a damn about him pass 2013. He would have went out with that Kirko bangs and young money wave
@@MrAirnike8 Easily! I mean he had more hits than Kirko 😭😭but totally well said. Kids born after 1995 wouldn’t have cared. He’d be like a Nelly where he had a cool lil 4 year stretch that was big as hell and then it ended
That whole situation fucked his career over and he didn't even do anything wrong but work with his favorite artist
Any real hip hop head and Drake fan would say IYRTITL is his best album or mixtape along with NWTS. In my opinion, IYRTITL is better. But to know his best work, Drake needed help on the best tracks. It is a bit of a shame to know he didn't fully write the lyrics, especially on 10 bands and know yourself, even star67 he had help with Amir obeid, who is another artist.
I felt if you’re reading this was his weakest album.
Take care, so far gone and nwts and a crazy feat run (stay scheming verse in my top 10 for him) was already out years before IYRTITL. By the time that tape dropped drake already had his sound down. This tape just sounded like an extension of what he was already doing. It was by no means a break through or a revolution in his sound just a really good tape. I think people overstate QMs importance to try to knock drake but he was the same artist before and after QM. The only thing that really changed over the last 7/8 years was the listener.
He has never wrote his own shit he takes all the great lyrics of every legendary song to make a guaranteed hit how can you fail when the lyrics that you are using are already certified platinum millions of albums sold lyrics. Like how does anybody fuck with that how is that commendable?! I just realized earlier today that even if the person has no morals and is toxic for society people will still support it if it’s fire. It’s too hard for everyone to realize that the art craft is stolen and not original tho so the masses end up rocking with it unfortunately not knowing how stupid that shit is.
@@Kingme3144 actually if you look at take care and NWTS was mostly written by Anthony Palman aka hushovo
watching this man melt infront of me is so hectic. both parties did em wrong and now they back being friends. its a cold work yall.
We watched this whole conversation 7 different times now.
W ovo sweatshop worker
Q.M. def low-key looks like PND right now 🤣
Toronto people are down to earth thats vibe thats given off..doesn't mean its real all the time.
He’s from Atlanta though
@@Tyrin448 Drake is from Toronto
Cap
@@chuck9380 🤣
Toronto pansies are top notch.
mad respect to this dude
What’s crazy is that he doesn’t have any writing credits for “ No Tellin” but on the other songs he does… “I just went and checked Apple Music”
He got credits for the songs he contributed alot on
I hope and pray he continues to grind and is blessed with what he deserves.
No tellin best song on that joint play it til this day
You can tell in QM's face he's tired of answering questions about Drake & explaining the same situation over & over.
Was a drake fan when he first came out, once I did the real homework, not a drake fan anymore. Quentin I wish you all the best my guy you seem like a solid dude.
clown
I wasn't a fan when he was doing all the singing tracks because I just don't think he has that sound. I liked his rapping, then the ghost wring stuff came out and I just can't listen to Drake anymore, I can't take him serious when he's rapping about doing this or that because it's not him, he's never done it, been there, it's not genuine and i refuse to listen to it.
@@90sK1dFOr3v3rwho’s the clown now🤡
Damn he wrote drakes best songs
But can't write his own songs? why you still listening to drake then?
This ain’t the only ghostwriter or the first. OVO artists sit on the shelf and don’t get promo while the boy takes all the credit.
Mannnn I really feel for this man! And same -- No Tellin is my FAVORITE track off the mix and one of my top 5 tracks off IYRTITL
No tellin that shit especially the second part of the beat
He seems like a humble genuine dude it's messed how they did him
He aint a sellout. This guy is humble. Can tell theres something unsettling about things he know.
Vlad if you really don't have a bias and you're professional. Ask him about writing for Nas, Big Sean and other rappers other than Drake
Quinten your verse on that dom kennedy song is god tier!
That’s my favorite Drake project too
Remember that IYRTITL is a mixtape
Q miller thanks for helping create an classic project my g
It is crazy how he lost the most out the drake meek beef and he didn’t ignite the beef 🤦🏾♂️
He’s dropped 🔥 songs since but IYRTITL was the last solid body of work Drake put out.
Every song Quentin worked on is 🔥🔥🔥 The reference tracks go crazy too.
Views was fire
@@johnnyTimothyRokket Views was just ok to me. It’s actually been awhile since I’ve listened to it though.
Scorpion shits on that album idk wtf yu ppl talking about
I hope he’s getting royalties anytime “ if you reading it’s too late “ plays … maybe drake need to sort he out .. that was drake best rap album I won’t lie
He go hard
10 bands is one of my favorite drake songs for sure so different to this day
When i first heard it i was thrown off by drake rapping about cooking crack. Never did i imagine at the time that someone else had written and performed the whole entire song for him to just do over in his voice
I get the vibe that Drake heard him liked his approach to music and asked him for artistic help on his album. I don’t feel like it was a total write all of this for me and I just rap it. Like they both had a hand in making the songs. Like a school project. Bounce ideas off each other and see what stick. Kinda sad he got blacked balled from the industry. He and Drake had a lot of good chemistry that was ruined by those with less success.
Interesting look, I agree
Deadass, but niggas ran with this crazy narrative that he was sitting there with his feet up while he was writing
Drake could’ve done right by him if he wanted too
@@blizbx definitely
Quentin wrote other songs for Drake on other albums, it wasnt all like how u are describing
I never liked IYRTITL too much but I always respected the album even said that was his last actual classic album.
Views is a classic
@@Lbrooksjr24 yes and views is way more of a classic than IYRTITL is has way to many hits
@@Lbrooksjr24 more life >
His last classic album? wtf was views and more life 😂 😂 or his collab album with 21 savage. Y’all be so hurt and bias over someone you don’t even know or will never meet 😂
@@Christorment5 Hopefully it’s the Kubrick effect. But unfortunately most of the time it’s not…
Drake used this guy the same way Kanye used CyHi
no telling was the standout for me
Quentin is a real cool dude shame he was caught up in the mix and they did him bad.
My enemies will tell him he must’ve deserved it . Isn’t that how karma works?
@ 2:08 . I always wonder what gets edited out 🤣🤣🤣
Iyrtitl is drakes best project… period !!
You can say whatever you want but Cihy has been writing for Kanye a lot and you dont feel this pain in his voice. He's super appreciative..so it makes you know that Kanye has been treating him well. Whereas it doesnt sound the same from Q Miller
He implies that he also worked on Big Sean's verse on blessed but because Vlad doesn't listen and is only interested in Drake he misses, really wish he could have followed up on that
I caught that too
Blessed verse was hard
I ALWAYS ROOTED QM HIS MUSIC IS SO FAR BETTER THAN WHAT PEOPLE THINK I WISH THINGS WOULDVE WENT RIGHT CAUSE IYRTITL IS DRAKES BEST OR THEEE BEST ALBUM HES EVER MADE
This shit would fuck me up too
The most influential/#1 rappers/artist don’t write they own songs 😞…but yet…they get called the goats…
Pls guys give this man another chance
The worst part is that if you like drakes music you automatically like Quentin Miller
No you don’t…lol…he helped write on 5 songs out of more than a 100songs….
@@djzulumask2138 you think Drake just makes the song that made it to the album? All artists make way more music than what is on the album so that's not a good argument
@@djzulumask2138 Keyword "helped" cause that probably means bar ideas and not actually writing for him
I hope they can link back up 🤷🏿♂️
The people been waiting on this one
Vald brought him on to see that leg and talking about Drizzy😅🤦🏿
No tellin is still a classic till this day
That A reece ft Quentin too fireeeee
6 Man, amazing kyrics, would kove to hear more just like it
That was Drake's best album in my opinion. If you're reading this is too late was a classic but as soon as I heard those reference tracks I can't look at Drake the same way
The real goat 🐐 🙌 💯
I honestly love how he still has love for Drake even after all of that God shines through this guy he’s truly a good, warm hearted dude it’s just fucced up how they did him and hasn’t reconciled with him
Im telling yall this is all the warm up to Vlad trying to discredit Nas in any way possible since QM said he was in the studio with Nas
Vlad gotta drop the full interview on this 1. Quentin Miller is an underrated legend 🙌🏾
Ya not gonna lie this was Drakes best album it was the hardest in terms of rapping etc
No it wasn’t
I think her loss he rapping rapping
That was the last Drake album I liked. The future shit was good for random bump songs and after that I haven’t been able to listen really. Take Care was the essence of Drake. NWTS was the evolution of him blending other peoples sound with him….IYRTITL IS A GOOD RAP/Drake album
This what happens when you work with a BAN. When that shit first came out all Drake had to say was yea I worked with QM he’s a dope artist.. instead of denying it and beefin with Meek. Obviously people don’t care if Drake has writers .. it was actually obvious somebody was helping him put things together.. HE IS FROM CANADA!.. they don’t talk like us or have our slangs. Rappers write like they talk. I hope fans learned something.
Facts all he had to do is take accountability but he'll everrrrrrr be mention with the top tier lyricist in the game kendrick lamar #1 still and always was 😁
@@jayhova1788 Drake really never was spitting in the first place. All his rap is just catchy and quotable lines. Nothing really to be conversation with 2pac , Biggie, Nas or Jay Z.
This is why I like Akademiks. Despite all his flaws he never allows himself to be taken advantage of. I feel for Quentin , these guys in the rap industry can be extremely selfish
nah sorry but you have to respect this guy, so humble considering the circumstances
This business world is brutal. He seems like such a cool cat. I wish things would have turned out better.
I've heard this story a few times now and I'm not saying it didn't happen because I have heard many stories that have been shady in the music business. That's why it's a business and that's why I personally quit pursuing my music. But something doesn't add up here. And I'm not sure what it is. 🤔
Damn shame what Meek did to this man and his career.
They knew he ain’t have enough confidence to do it in his own
To be fair iyrtitl drake was the hardest Drake pause get miller back in the studio with you 😭😭
At least he’s getting recognition.
Kendrick’s writer is “Sam Dew” and nobody knows his name.
Q.M flow is elite I really wonder why they ddnt give you a feature with drake you might have been overshadowing him and they had to approach it another way 💯 🔥
His flow sucks. Writers are writers for a reason just like in acting
Sad he was put in the middle :( they could’ve made greatness together.
One of the sadder cases in hip hop smh
