Cardi B says everyone has writers

[Lifer11]

I think it's cute thecoli believes millions of dollars that are poured into an artist is held together by their pen

So it's held together by someone else's pen? Believe it or not, some of those artists are actually talented and the best in the world at what they do and they don't need someone else who wasn't good enough to make it as an artist themselves to write their music.

I'll never forget when I heard Snoop PROUDLY talking about spitting a verse that Jay-Z wrote.

I'll never forget Twista non-chalantly admitting that he's used ghostwriters and doesn't see a problem with it.

Hip-hop is a business now. Saying "everyone" is a stretch obviously, but she's not too far off from the truth specifically if we're talking mainstream.

Snoop had writers on Doggystyle and if I recall correctly, he had a competition for people to write for him on his “Ego Trip” album.

To be fair it ain’t that them nikkas ain’t good
They just don’t have “it”

Everyone gets songs premade for them these days.

What people on the coli tend to care about are the actual verses. Not the hooks, bridges etc.

Ain't just these days been that way forever .

Most producers send beats with a hook already .

Real MC just don't let anyone write their verses that's it .

Nas
Jay
Kendrick
Scarface
Outkast
Black Thought
Lupe Fiasco

Don’t use writers so the bytch is lying off top


Hell Nicki puts her life on writing her own shyt so...

well.... truth be told, it's been rumored that people from Jungle to Stic.Man wrote for Nas and Lupe wrote for Jay. Also, it is said that Andre 3000 wrote for Big Boi at the start of their careers. But what do I know? MC Serch casually said that Lyor told him to write something for Rakim because Rakim has writer's block. RAKIM of all people. And even though that was vehemently decline more due to Eric B having a dislike to Serch, the fact that you have label execs that actually CALL others to ghostwrite for people, even though who are legends in the game as if it's procedural. So, Cardi MAY have a point. Who knows what goes behind the scenes and what some industry exec hire someone to take on writing responsibilities. I mean even the song THE MESSAGE was ghostwritten except for Melle Mel's last verse.

Yea but that still means they weren't good enough all around to make it as a global rap/pop artist. I didn't say they weren't good enough as writers, but like you said they lack "it" i.e. the charisma or star quality to fully succeed.

Which again doesn’t mean not good

Cardi B has charisma but she’s trash at everything else and not even a good person

Did he need them or was he on some big homie shıt putting new talent on so they could get paid?
