Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg and Ebro Darden confidently asserted on their morning show Monday (June 4) that Drake wrote the hook on Kanye West’s Ye track “Yikes.”
Not only did Drizzy pen the hook, but G.O.O.D. Music left his name off the songwriting credits because they apparently forgot about his contribution.
“It is now a confirmed thing that Drake wrote the hook for ‘Yikes,'” Rosenberg revealed. “It may be the best melody on the album when you go listen to it. You’ll hear it now and go, ‘Oh, that does sound really good.’ [Kanye] gets a double congratulations in my opinion. They didn’t credit him. They said they like ‘forgot.’ They left him off. He doesn’t have a writing credit. Interesting timing to forget the writing credit for Drake.”
Interesting timing since Pusha T, Kanye West’s artist and President of G.O.O.D. Music, came at Drake on his DAYTONA cut “Infrared” for using ghostwriters, which spurred an overdue rap battle between the two. The OVO head released his response with “Duppy Freestyle” which resulted in Push dropping “The Story of Adidon,” coupled with an old picture of Drake in blackface.

Things have been increasingly tense between the two camps since Drake mentioned Pusha T’s fianceé on “Duppy Freestyle” and King Push clowned Drizzy by mentioning his alleged son, mom, dad and producer Noah “40” Shebib’s multiple sclerosis condition on “The Story of Adidon.”
Almost 10 years of unaddressed issues suddenly boiled over in such a way that Kanye decided to call a peace treaty and Rap-A-Lot CEO J. Prince told Drake not to release the response track aimed at Pusha T.
Drake’s response track reportedly features Lil Wayne and, according to Prince, has the capability of ending Push’s career.
Watch Peter Rosenberg unveil Drake as a songwriter for Kanye West’s “Yikes” at the seven-minute mark.

Drake writes?
????
He does. Kanye, on the other hand, does not.
The lyric credit is on genius. We need that drake diss track ASAP
I’m pretty sure drakes Ghostwriter got credit though
You can joke all you want but this has Kanye looking lame
that virgil line cut deep – everyone knows kanye doesn’t move without a virgil co sign
My opinion has changed. I thought Pusha really got at Drake but maaaan GOOD music is taking an L on this. The hypocricy of calling Drake out for “ghostwriters” while he is writing hooks for your current music is so ridiculous, not to mention the shit about him being a deadbeat dad also sounding less and less true. Like did anything Push said stick? People want to crucify Drake even though he has been writing songs since before he was even on (google Drake writing for Dr Dres “detox” and being paid tens of thousands for music that never was released) as well as reference tracks he has made for some huge artists today. AND in hind sight Duppy was better then Adidon straight away. 30 people are going to jump on here and blindly shit on Drake but lets be real- you are all going to be nodding your heads to Drake music this summer, as per usual, so keep it real with yourselves
So you believe Drake wrote it and didn’t take credit? You believe that? Lol
Yes, Donald Trump, I believe Ebro and Rosenberg When they say that this was confirmed. And just to clarify what they mean is that his name wasnt listed as a writer on the album credits. Not “he didnt take credit for it” lol. He doesnt control if he is credited as a writer on someone elses album

Kanye started as a Producer and often says people helped him with writing. On the other hand Drake was a fraud and pretended to be the next great lyricist with an epic pen game. Come to find out he was a fraud and we only found out because Meek was willing to tell it all. So Idk how anyone can defend Drake and try and compare him to Kanye when Kanye was 100x more upfront. Kanye is a lot of things but he often tells the truth even when it makes him look silly or crazy. Drake on the other hand is a fraud.
Drake has been writing for other rappers for his entire career bro. Do some homework. I think Ye and Push can write their asses off as well but Drake is a go-to writer in rap music. This is a fact you can google dat
Kanye claims himself to be the next biggest artist (not even rap artist) in the world. Makes music, he’s got 12+ other producers around him. Makes clothing, he had virgil and others. Even on production credits he’s always the first name even though some young producer made the beat for him and any breakdowns or additions are done by Mike Dean.
Be honest bro- it was hard to see the screen to write that with tears streaming down your face. He is never going to meet your wife man its ok that she likes him more then you
Hip hop Dx is on “save a Drake career” overdrive with the J prince article and all that. Everyone knows Kanye has ghost writers. Everyone knows Drake has ghost writers. The only difference is Drake is going around saying he the goat… stuff like “I turned into Jay” (who ironically doesn’t even write)
Yeah man. Drakes career really seems like it needs saving lmfao. You deserve a special congratulations cause you played yourself. Listen- when you are done holding that L could you pleeeeeease please please hold my dick
You’re in denial about the hit that boy took just for the black face alone! There’s damage control coming from every angle
Lol cool story. He is black, homie. So now we offend ourselves with blackface? When white people do it I get it but neither me nor the 1000 other blacks I know are offended by him doing black face. Foh with dat der
He is black. How tf does it matter that he did black face? Neither myself nor the thousand other black people I know give af about him doing black face. Somebody come get this white dude lol
You must be white cause aint nobody I know give a damn about him doing blackface. Because, and this is breaking news, Drake is black.
Damn thats the only song on the album I can stand listening to, and mostly because of the hook. The rest of the song sound like it was written by juvenile lol
Drake uses a ghostwriter and Kanye uses Drake as his ghostwriter. Both also made family with nude models(porn stars imo). They are more alike than we think. For all we know, Drake has a MAGA cap too. Lol
Differnce is kim was a billionaire not a groupie. Kanye a boss and drake a simp.
Kim was a billionaire?? Her net worth isnt even 200 Million. Put the crack pipe down bro
“I just left from by Y’all putting pen to the sheets” drake told us.
Says the Fothamucka that has Ghostwriters on “Booty Call” status!! FOH!!!!
ur a f @ g g o t
Drake is smart as hell. We all know drake pays his ghost writers 10,000 a month to write for him. Drake pretty much pretends to write for artist and charges them 200,000 and up. Drake the middle man:0)
?
Don’t wanna hear shit about Drake unless he responding to Push.
So you have Rosenberg saying “I hear songs in there that one day I will enjoy but not now”.. don’t talk shit about the album just because he didn’t say what you thought he should say. It is what it is, judge the music or don’t talk about it at all. Hip Hop is angry at him, cool, don’t talk about the album, don’t talk about Kanye because “congratulations, you played yourself” with a line like that. Admitting that he likes some songs but hasn’t forgiven Kanye so he doesn’t like them right now is ridiculous. Album is solid, not his best but not his worst… With regards to the Drake stuff, what an interesting turn of events if true lol.
What y’all think Drake was doing in Wyoming the whole time? Playing fortnite foh
You know what rhymes with Yikes?
When you know you know, hahaha, Yhurrrrk!
Is the Drake vs Push or Drake vs Kanye? The narrative has mysteriously changed, wonder why… smh, an L is an L, wear it proud.
Damn Aubrey muisc career is in shambles
The boy is lost
Everybody knows the truth now
I bet he feels like such a lame hiding his kid and acting like some kind of regal player but hes just humping unknown b list porn stars and impregnating them then trying to get them to have abortions then denying the child to the public after the fact.
All your Drake fans chose a real winner there.
Im so glad I never liked anything about that fake azz wanna be Canadian thug.
40 shitbib beats are garbage also I dont care if he has ms or md or whatever trash is trash no matter how sick it is.
I hope his baby mama takes him for every Canadian dollar she can. Dude will be playing at casinos and fairgrounds soon after he fell off just to oay his baby mama child support
Good music vs Young Money. Would actually be a dope battle. I’m rocking with G.o.o.d
Drake didn’t get credit because somebody else wrote on Audrey’so behalf to give Kanye. Drake only put his name on the paper.
