Let me end this like this. As I said before having a ghostwriter shows me you have no passion,aren't creative,lazy,or just cant straight up write a good song. Now P.Diddy isn't known as an Emcee but when your friends with one of the best rappers Biggie Smalls who ends up tragically passing away you wanna give him a good tribute right? I bet know one knew "I'll be missing you" wasn't even written by Diddy in fact Sauce Money wrote that whole song Diddy just made money off of it. To me that discredits the P.Diddy a lot because not only I'll Be MIssing You was his biggest song of his career because it was supposed be a tribute for Biggie hes closes friend but you let someone else write a tribute for your homeboy? And one of the biggest well known songs in Hip Hop "Rappers Delight" was actually written by Grandmaster Caz.

THESE ARE FACTS
actually an emcees job is to maintain crowd control and host and entertain.
only in hiphop does emcee mean lyric writer. but it's so much more than that.
Presence
energy
delivery
personality
so if gille wrote his rhymes and gillie put out a record...gillie record should do just as good as waynes in theory right? but it doesnt because wayne has incredible energy to care those lyrics and bring the crowd into it. while the ghostwriter cant get people to move let alone pay attention.
Instead you're letting someone write for you and try to walk in your shoes trying to picture what you might say.
Lets say AZ ghostwrote all of Nas's illmatic (which is arguably the best hip hop album of all time) your going to tell me you'll still consider Nas one of the Elite Emcees? Or what if Big L and Memphis Bleek wrote all of Reasonable Doubt that wouldnt effect Jay's legacy as an EMCEE?
In Hip-Hop if you write your own lyrics and your lyrics are dope you get respect from your peers and others around you as a true lyricists. If you have someone writing your rhymes and that song becomes a hit you dont say "I made a classic" Naw YOUR GHOSTWRITER made that song a classic you just had the flow and delivery to make it feel like a hit.

interesting question....votes in a debate topic should be explained...not simply "such and such gets my vote"
but money talks an can keep certain shit hidden and names dont have to be added to credits....so we dont really know who ghostwrote for who...at this point no one cares no more....because lyrics are so watered down people only listen to the beats now.
this topic only mattered in the golden age of hiphop...not the current where its the norm.
As I said before having a ghostwriter shows me you have no passion
