It's funny, in every other genre of music EXCEPT rap, ghostwriting is accepted and very common.

Here's the difference Sion.

The only thing the above songs have in common are the lyrics, and except for the lyrics, they're completely and totally different songs. I don't know much about the technical aspects of singing, but I'm going to assume that they were played and sung in different keys, in addition to be musical accompaniment being different.

However, with a rap, you can't do a cover to a rap cover. I guess you can change the flow, but it would still be wack. You can't rap somebody else's lyrics, and doing so is the hip hop equivalent to saying nursery rhymes. Which is why covering rap records never took off and why the shit is frowned upon. Damn near everybody on the IC can ride a beat. With that being said, if we had Kendrick or J Cole writing our raps, we'd be dope ass artists too. Off topic, it's nice knowing that Ross is left handed.

Smh it must b a Canadian square thing where ghost writing n rap is accepted...

 

[supergangster]

So Ross writing all Nas features verses

 

[HerbalVaporCapers]

With that fake ass persona, he been ghostwriting for himself since hustling dropped

 

[BackInWhite]

Perception always seems to trump people's perspective and common sense especially in entertainment. It's funny, in every other genre of music EXCEPT rap, ghostwriting is accepted and very common. There are country and folk labels and production companies SOLELY for song-writing. How can most artists live aalll those experiences when they're on tour 24/7 or in a studio ? Hence the term "studio gangsta" LOLOL. It's not even going to matter if you call yourself the Greatest Rapper and had ghostwriters cuz Ice Cube and Kanye are already in that conversation and it doesn't take away from their influence or impact.

This is Rick Ross one of the biggest gimmicks in rap telling you he's one of the biggest ghostwriters in the game. I actually think he's being truthful. It's probably how and why he's been able to land all of these features on his albums for so many years despite never being a big seller. The people he gets to feature on his shit is just incredible.

You sound stupid

 

[natural born sinners]

That's a good point he made on DMX and WILL. I. AM. Why would it be a reach that he ghostwrites. Between BABY and DIDDY I bet ross wrote albums worth of material. Also think of all those khaled records, as far as hooks n shit. Ross be around ALOT of dudes that are known to use/need ghostwriters, throw fat joe on that list. Funny shit about him ghostwriting f our himself lol

[nujerz84]

[Ghostdenithegawd]
