Did Ma$e ghostwrite for Nelly and City Spud for their song "Ride Wit Me"?

[Alvin]

didnt mase use writers as well? pretty sure i recall cam saying he helped mase for his first album.

no lol, if cam helped write it then cam would have a album that rivals harlem world, he doesn't.

Im not that surprised. The whole thing about ghostwriting is that it's upfront payment and generally by conventions standard, not spoken about.

I could be wrong, but i'd be staggered if Pharaoh or Royce got publishing off Puff for their sessions? They would have got some nice dough upfront, but thats it. That's the deal when you aren't the alpha in the situation, but you're working with the alpha.

I don't check album credits all that much anymore, but i always remember being surprised that Jay had actual credits on Still Dre, even though Dre is known for being decent in regards to songwriting and co production.

Kanye looks to be decent with credits, at least with co production, i can't call it with his good music team penning days (Cons, Rhymefest, Cyhi etc.)

If I cough on in the studio, kanye will add me to the writers list. Pusha T, Big Sean, CyHi, Lupe, Malik Yusef work with him.

The fact that Nelly had to use ghost writers for them simple, nursery school lyrics is priceless!

They were called Uptowns for a reason.

Did he have any other verses period?

Exactly.

 

[85 East]

If I'm not mistaken both Nelly and Mase had the same manager?

Did he have any other verses period?

He was in prison literally during Nelly's entire come up and prime...from like '98 and didn't get released til '08...that's the only high profile verse he's ever had

Why do you so many of you guys thinking making music especially on a mainstream level is about complex bars?

Yeah those credits are borderline ridiculous, i agree.

I heard Havoc made the beat for 'real friends' and when i went to check the credits i didn't know what to think.

Imagine being in a club or party setting
Drinking around females
And listening to a song looking for metaphors double meanings and how many multi syllable words are being used
