There's an old interview (2011 I think) of Kendrick and Freddie Gibbs and they talked about ghostwriting for "respected rappers"

It’s a murky world; with most writers keeping quiet about their input into other’s output in order to maintain their client’s reputations. When Kendrick Lamar and Freddie Gibbs appeared on MTV’s Rapfix, the show’s host, Sway, asked them about their reputation as the industry’s rising ghostwriters. The pair met Sway with a stony silence, looked at each other and then Gibbs said, “shhh, don’t tell nobody.” He later revealed that he’d lent his talents to five big name artists, none of whom he’d name.

Which Hip-hop Verses Were Ghostwritten By Someone Else?

Loads of big hip-hop verses weren't written by the rappers that rap them, you just didn't know it.

I don't know what's worse, if you had all that shyt on deck or if you took the time to find it. We all know about Karaoke 6 Duck already, he's talking about other people

When you write for other people you gotta try and mask it/dumb it down especially if you’re a recognizable artist.

Gibbs isn’t super unique but if someone else spit his raps I’d be able to catch it pretty quickly.

Pretty sure Kendrick wrote for Snoop. Used to be around Kurupt, Fred Wreck and nem at the time.

This back before Section 80 if im not mistaken.

Guess he wrote at least 1 song for J Rock.

Cant think of anyone else
