Video After The Jump
During VladTV's interview with Kurupt and Roscoe, the brothers touch on the Drake and Meek Mill beef while reminiscing about their own dealings with ghostwriters.
Kurupt knew of Meek Mill back in Philly when he was just a young, rapping teen with braids. These days he applauds Meek for his success, and when it comes to his beef with Drake, Kurupt feels they should just "ride it out." "You know, they were friends, that happens a lot," he explains. "Friends get into it, they have disagreements - I think that it'll pass over." Roscoe agrees, and though him and Kurupt are both into Meek's music, in the end he believes Drake reigned supreme with his diss tracks. "I like the Drake record better but I like Meek better as a rapper," Roscoe admits. After praising Drake for his lyrical ability, Kurupt adds "I know this much: if they went to war, you'd see a different Meek and you'd see a different Drake."
"Everybody has a ghostwriter that you love," Kurupt goes on to tell DJ Vlad when asked about Drake's credibility as a lyricist - everyone except Kurupt, of course. "I'm Kurupt cuz, you can't compare people to me...you gotta understand there's your hip-hop, and then there's emcee hip-hop. In emcee hip-hop, there are no ghostwriters. We are the ghosts."
Later on in the clip, Kurupt does admit to having a ghostwriter at one point in the beginning of his career. "Snoop wrote my first winner, 'N*ggas Don't Give a F*ck,'" he confesses. "I did Snoop's first verse, Daz did his second verse and they us let do our own third verse where I wrote half and Daz wrote half...it's part of the game, my n*gga."
