I don't know about Summertime, but Nas "co-wrote" Will Smith's Gettin Jiggy Wit It.

 

[Mdizzle9000]

everyone thinks rakim wrote summertime but it was some other dude from around that time. will dont write rhymes though

 

[birdcallaveli]

i dont mind the fact that dre uses ghost writers, and wayne never had ghost writers. gillie wrote for birdman, not weezy.

 

[R.D.]

This thread is dedicated to the non-rapping, non-song writing people who get in the booth and spit shit that someone else wrote. I'm one of those people who can hear an excellent verse, but disregard it if the person rapping didn't write it. It's even worse when producers take credit for the work of others coughDr.Drecough.

Dr. Dre
Roxanne Shante
Diddy
Lil Kim
Foxy Brown
Lil Wayne

feel free to add on.

shouldnt be on list

gillie wrote for Wayne too. Wayne didn't even deny that shit when he was asked about it back in 06/07.

...I can hear Rakim's voice on that.

They asked Rakim if he wrote it and, of course, he denied it. We all know that's a damn lie.....that track had Rakim written all over it, from the lyrics, to the flow and delivery, charisma, everything

 

[G Mack]
