Quentin Miller’s “10 Bands” Reference Track For Drake Surfaces Online
Posted by Missinfo.tv Staff under New MusicNo Comments

Meek Mill’s Twitter rant on Tuesday, mainly aimed at Drake, has been the talk of the Hip-hop community the past 24 hours. One of the main storylines taken from Meek’s comments was that Drake doesn’t write his own raps, specifically his verse on “R.I.C.O.” which appeared on the MMG’s rapper No. 1 album Dreams Worth More Than Money. The name Quentin Miller soon came to light, an Atlanta artist who is credited on various songs off Drake’s If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late.
On Wednesday night during his HOT 97 mixshow, Funkmaster Flex decided to insert himself into the storyline, by playing Quentin Miller’s “10 Bands” reference track given to Drake. According to the DJ, Quentin Miller was getting paid $5000 a month from the Drake’s OVO Sound label, and it was someone from the October’s Very Own collective who sent Flex the full reference track that’s similar to the final version.
UPDATE: Drake’s main producer Noah “40” Shebib, takes to Twitter to speak on the recent news. Read below.

No one can question my involvement in drakes career. We have come a long way together. So let me start by putting something into perspective

I can't count the hours that myself and drake have spent writing producing and recording music. Let's just say… 5000 hours…

Anyways, I don't work with many people. And there's a reason….
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
No one is as talented as drake. It's not worth my time. I need someone who understands song writing on a higher level…
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
Sometimes that skill is used to recognize other great songs… Like in all forms of music… Except rap.
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
Rap has a stigma about writing your own lyrics and rightfully so… its a very personal art form and its rooted in speaking truthfully.
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
Thankfully for me drake isn't just a rapper. He's also a musician and a producer and a creator.
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
We go beyond the normal boundaries that rappers want to sleep themselves stuck in.
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
We've been fighting those rules from day one. If no one noticed there weren't many singing rappers in '08
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
Theres countless number ones and songs drake has written for others never mind himself, thats the funny part lol!
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
To be even feeling my own need to say these things is crazy
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
and even more ironic is that drake is maybe the most personal rapper ever
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
never has someone spoken about themselves or there own perspective so vividly… ever.
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
its why people have called him soft… because he shows humility and is truthful and honest.
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
you're smokin that shit you say you selling if you think someone wrote that shit.
— Noah Shebib (@OVO40) July 23, 2015
so if someone wants to be upset that drake made a great album, go for it, get mad all day lol! but don't ever question my brothers pen.
