There's alot of **** that makes sense in here.
Even Joe Budden alluded to some of this **** a year or 2 ago on his podcast that there was an underlying "battle" at play between various camps.

****** get really confused on this writing **** 
The criteria is only for the SPECIFIC element of HIP HOP amongst artists that primarily identify themselves as rappERS.
Amongst those who are into the actual craft of rapping, rappers write their own raps.
But every "Hip-Hop artist" is not just a rapper...and aren't expected to be critiqued under the same criteria.
Drake not writing all of his raps is not a knock against his ENTIRE artistry...only one aspect. Drake fans only see this is as perceived "hate" against him because he himself is insecure about the details of his creative process being exposed now. Why? who knows. Maybe he wants to be seen in the same light as the rappers he studied.
When Puff said he didn't write rhymes...he wrote checks...there wasn't a million Puff "fans" arguing with Puff "haters" about what he writes....because rap fans weren't talking about it...because we know he isn't a ******* rapper.

If you admit it it's cool and if you don't try to say you one of the best rappers and blah blah
Dre and Puff said it from early on they didn't write their raps.
Kanye said he was nice and better than most. He was LIVID when people starting telling he didn't write his own rhymes. I don't think he cares now but he definitely cared back then.

Rocky gonna have to regroup after this one.
Did all that **** and barely sold more than his protege (Carti) who had literally no promo or singles.

This may be semantics but IMO I’d say the scrutinity of writing your own bars is that in an MC.
Not tryna sound all hippity hop but I think there’s a difference between a rapper and an MC. Cardi is a rapper; Cole is an MC.
Hell I’d call Puffy a rapper... he ain’t no damn MC tho.
And if you’re composing a song and you get a chorus or bridge from someone I wouldn’t say that makes you not an MC.

As far as quality I would say he has to regroup but in terms of actual sales It's about what i expected fr him. He hasn't released in three years & had no single in the mainstream or playing in Clubs & still did better numbers than most rappers in his tier
To put this in perspective, is anybody gonna say Gucci is "cold" ? his last album did 70K first week & he had several collabs out & a loyal fanbase.
I don't think many people in here really be peeping the #'s of a lot of the dudes who are claimed to be "Hot".. It's a handful of ****** doing over 100K first week & those are usually reserved for guys who are working major records at radio.

Funny thing is Rocky is popular as hell but I think most people forgot that he makes music
He’s real popular in the fashion world and decently well known in pop culture.
