Ghostwriting: Rap's Messiest Secret
ADVERTISEMENT
Ghost writins not all is cracked up to be. Me n my buddy Eric we dun a weejee board an spok tupac we aksed him to writ is a rap an he did but it was wak. He ain so good now. So my opinion dont bother thers plenny new yung rappers OT
Credits will always have more than one person listed. The producer gets writing credit, the engineer, whoever the song was sampled from.
To me for Drake and Cardi b its just star power, havin the voice for it. Like dude said, you could write Denzel’s lines but people wanna see Denzel act it out. I don’t consider him on the level with Hov but for vocal inflection and being able to make a hit I salute that.
A rapper's main role is to spit mad bars. That is what they do and if they cheat around that then they don't deserve any recognition for raps. End of.
If you're trying to be the best, never use a ghost writer, no matter what.
But if you're JUST trying to make a hit (literally nothing else) then I think ghost writers should be allowed, but some stuff still has to be done by you.
Thats a corus kanye is saying not jay Z bars
Yes I do. I lose respect
ok
Lupe Fiasco & Andre 3000 write their own shit so I'm good.
??????✒?
Check out wiltron206 dope tracks
Mmm
Eminem said who to listen since they don’t use ghostwriters. They are: Joyner Lucas, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar and Big Sean
hiphop is when the mc is speaking from the heart, so ghostwriting to me is a fraud
It would be stupid not to say the Chronic is a classic album. It would also be stupid to say that Dre is in the top 10.
HIP HOP IS NOT R & B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS SUCH A THING AS AUTHENTICITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIP HOP ORIGINATED IN OFF THE HEAD BATTLES WHERE THERE WERE NO SO CALLED GHOST WRITERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT IT IS ULTIMATELY AN INDUSTRY AND A MONEY MAKING MACHINE!!!!!!!! HOWEVER, IF YOU DON'T WRITE YOUR LYRICS, YOU ARE NOT A RAPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE AN R & B ARTIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do so many say JayZ freestyles every record w/out any writing? That's ridiculous. Yes, he has done that before & memorizes (photographic) his songs so can go into booth w/out notes sometimes. Silly to think he "purely freestyles" every song. He def pre-writes bars, that's a myth he wants other to believe. Like he was really a hard core drug dealer. Lol He stole his best friends "life story" & rapped it w/his swag. Does everyone forget how he tried to disrespect Biggie right after he died by rushing to self proclaim he's the King of NY? Then Nas had to shut down his "takeover" w/Ether. Ha It's easy to memorize when ur stealing them from others, like Biggie & Nas. Lol
Good Ish as Always bredren ??
came back for you by lil kim is the first grammy nominated diss track
Y'all know damn ghostwriting is a no, no, its goes against the very foundation of hiphop.
My take is if you’re gonna have somebody write your stuff, just be honest about it. Kanye is, and that’s okay with me.
U guys do know that eazy e had writers?
M********** will make a 1000 excuses for Drake. "It was cold outside so he needed ghost writers"
I do lose respect for the artist especially if the lyrics spoke to me and I was a huge fan. That’s false advertisement
How mindblown would you be if you found out Eminem had a ghostwriter?
I absolutely lose respect for rappers if they're being spoon fed lyrics. Performance is key, but it's an artist that performs their own work I want to see, not some product of a money-making industry
Where Murs?
All of this is true. But respect should be given to the one that created the song.
Breakfast club trash..
Drake trash… As overrated as
Jay Z is – drake straight trash

You can't take credits for some body's words been it as an emcees
Or as a poet some times we looks pass this things wen huge money is involve wen that particular person is getting paid
How can you take somebody's intelligence property or is own ideas to be your, even if he sold it to you, deep down you will not be feeling great about it your self, but because they are getting paid they keep quite as act as everything is fine, eg is like somebody wrote your exams for you en you got all A`s…… Really how will you wen that wrote it for is around en you bragging about you wrote it your self,….. ? ?
What sort of propaganda is this? That is not a reference track he's just spitting bars none of those bars are in lucifer.
Any rapper worth his salt writes his own lyrics.
I can't put anyone on my top 10 that had any songs written for them
I'm dont ghost , I poltergeist the game…
Wouldn’t it be funny if everyone’s throwing shots at Andre 3000 for no solo album, then the curtain falls and he’s ghost writing for everyone? I mean, no ones ever dissed him publicly ??
i cant respect your pen if you didnt write it
Mumble rappers don't use their brains, so much trash in every cell, they like prisoners, time to clean up the County, they cause their own bounty.
I got tons of songs and notebooks FULL of bars , punchlines , wordplay like crazy, I have better bars than these mainstream rappers I put them to shame!!
Fuck tyreese
Dig the hoodie MajidJordan is super underrated
Praise MUST go to the CREATOR! NOT the displayer!
Jay z doesn't write at all, nothing gets wrote down… he has it all in his head!! he is fucking amazing!! I don't know any other artists that can do this….
But drake Also has written several songs for other artists and im sure drake wrote his own shit before
The talent in R&B is the voice
The talent in Rock is the voice or ability to play instruments.
The talent in gospel music is the voice or ability to play instruments.
The talent in rap music is the ability to write and perform those lyrics. Any decent poet can probably out write the best Emcees. But it takes a rapper to write and have the ability to recite those lyrics over a beat and blend them together to make a unique sound.
What tyreese is describing is POP music. You don’t have to be the writer of POP music, you just have the deliver it and there’s an entire team behind you making sure you do or say anything that POP culture likes at that time. That’s not hip hop and that’s not rap music. That’s literally the opposite of it.
3:00 tf outta here with that shit. Anderson paak and cassidy ain't ever even smelt a ghost writer. Maybe YOUR shits do.
