"But you didn't write it...": The Official Ghostwriters Unappreciation Thread

  • Thread starter Thread starter New Editor
  • Start date Start date
I find it funny how niggas swear so and so have a ghost writer with no real proof other than he say. and if they don't like the rapper,of course they would love the idea of him not writing his own rhymes
"well gillie wrote for wayne,I know that for a fact"
a fact?nigga was you in the studio with them?

All the producers who use Ghostwriters..they prolly would have been exposed regardless but they could have played it off and say they wrote there shit cause as producer you do get writer credit/publishing...

Come to think of it, I have yet to see any proof that Rhymefest wrote for Kanye on College Dropout.

Here. Notice his name is listed under writers. Plus Kanye said it, he thanked him at the Grammy's, and you can even hear 'Fest's version of Jesus Walks. So he definitely didn't ghost-write it.

7 "Jesus Walks" Songwriters: Kanye West, Che Smith

Producer: Kanye West

Recorders: Tasuya Sato, Andrew Dawson, Eugene A. Toale

Mix engineer: Manny Marroquin

Arrangement: Curtis Lundy

Additional vocals: John Legend

Violin: Miri Ben-Ari

Contains a sample of "Walk With Me" performed by The ARC Choir

Contains a vocal sample of "(Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below, We're All Going to Go" performed by Curtis Mayfield

Nah he didn't I just looked it up. He's credited for the below so he didn't ghostwrite anything for Will.

"La Fiesta" (Puente, Smith, Haggins, Pelzer, Henson, Lynn) – 4:16

"The Rain" (featuring Jill Scott) (Williams, Neale, Smith, Lynn, Scott, Townes) – 4:48

Rakim did not write summertime he admitted he didnt he also said he was honored that people were trying to sound like him will definitely stole his flow but those lyrics werent so beast that they must of been ghostwritten. Also, Jazzy Jeff on his twitter said summertime was all freshprince i seen dj jazzy jeff and will smith live at union square 1987 on youtube that shit was pretty tight by the both of them.
