Ghostwriting in Hip Hop|DEHH

It's always a very good discussion. I wish I had some cats around to discuss music with like this.
And I've said to certain people that I'd never say it....
But if they ever put Nas, Jay Elect and Killah Priest on the same record, it would sound like the same dude with different voice tones.
And I also remember listening to Blackout 2 and thinking I heard Meth sounding like Joe Budden on like one verse before the beef happened..... then later Joey got salty cause Meth was listed higher than him. I don't remember what song or verse, though.... I deleted Blackout 2 after like one listen.

Don't ever recall Meth ever sounding like Joe Budden. Meth addressed the whole Joe insinuating that he ghostwrote for Meth shyt before. Meth says that Kevin Liles once approached Joe Budden to write a verse for Meth before because Meth was having a difficult time with a certain track, Meth refused. End of story.

Wasn't it Dream Hampton who insinuated that Nas got ghostwritten for? If so, I'm not believing that. I always thought Nas having a similar flow to Jay on Queens Get The Money was because of the fact that they were working together at the time. If I remember correctly, Jay said the initial plan was to do a joint album.
How does one get involved with ghostwriting? I'm talking for big names?

Killer Mike had some interesting things to say on the subject in his Hiphopdx interview.
When it comes down to it, I'm sorry but I just don't respect Ghostwriting in Hip Hop. ESPECIALLY if you claim yourself as any sort of lyricist or the "best".

from what I've heard (not saying it's true) people send song/rap lyrics to people all the time the same way producers send beats and demos get made.
they see your work is consistent enough, they sign you on. Or just call you up and be like "I need a song on so and so subject. The check's in the mail."
OR....
You go up to audition rap wise, they sign you but make you write and shelf you album wise.
Not sure if serious.....
But if you are......keep grinding
I was dead ass. I wasn't sure what you ment.
Ight i see what you saying. Last question when you say "people" are you talking about the artists themselves? Or to the labels? I'ma get my material copy written first incase people start jacking.

Just finished listening to this clip. Why are the couple homosexuals at the table strongly suggesting that Nas has been ghostwritten? Funny shyt. Still an interesting conversation, but I don't care to view these homos having a debate anymore
