Where Did This Beef Begin?

With the recent Meek Mill vs Drake beef putting ghostwriting back in the spotlight, this Sunday there’ll be another chance to listen to DJ Semtex on BBC Radio 1 and 1xtra Stories exploring the history of ghostwriting in Hip-Hop.

Stop comparing drake to me too…. He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out! ?
