Edit: Sauce Money use to ghostwrite for Jay-z also.

Heres the tweets......

Thanks homie. I need stronger receipts but regardless... if it happened on Black Album,

 

[hex]

And Jay Elect straight up told a blogger he wrote the track. So...

Jay Elec has point blank denied helping Nas in any way, several times:

Fred.

Of course a ghostwriter is going to flat out admit he ghostwrote for a rapper. (Sarcasm)

I'm a huge Nas stan and I myself believe Jay Elec wrote some barz for Nas.

The guy I quoted claimed he did. He clearly didn't.

People can believe what they want but until concrete proof comes out....IE, a point blank statement, a reference track, etc. it's just conjecture.

Do you reckon we made ghostwriter big(fans)? Most support the shyt without a second thought drake Wayne and we dont support the legends who try to keep it alive think how many ppl got that new wu tang(rza tried somethin new live band n shyt) compared to how many went and got the new drake even knowing about miller we dont look after vets we just leach onto whats hot giving the ghost more ammunition to write. WU was just a example. Ghost writing kills alot for me as its not there knowledge or message there really spreading pretty much like the President there just told what to say to get your vote/money

ghostwriting hasn't hurt the likes of kanye's career.

It was never a secret with Kanye though.

If you look in the liner notes of any Kanye album he gives everybody their credit for writing. I don't even consider that "ghostwriting" because it's out in the open. There was never an element of deception when it came to Kanye.

Dza used to write quick and easy stuff for Sean Kingston ..he said it in an inter

Never thought these two ghostwrote...lemme find out zoo wrote for jay...

i just made that up because the lie is more entertaining than the reality..but..what if he really did

 

[Still FloW]

anyone still care ?

 

[jadillac]

The idea that people like @jadillac really exist are few and far between.

People just want to vibe out to great music.

nikka. Don't @ me over some bs like this.

If you pass urself off as a person who's writing Ur own material, telling us Ur life story, that doesn't involve farfetchedness of drug dealing, bussing guns etc, and u get exposed like Drake did, then Ur s lame to me.

I dobt care if diddy or dre has ghostwriters. They never passed themselves off like Drake did.

Kanye?
Snoop?

Pretty sure Kanye wrote thru the Wire. That's his story.

Snoop may have ghosters now, but he hasn't always.

Neither of them flaunts their lyrical prowess as being the best rapper.

Snoop himself admitted in XXL magazine he has ghostwriters.

No one can say Snoop Dogg isn’t honest. XXLMag.com caught up with the West Coast legend to speak about his upcoming album, Malice in Wonderland, and the Doggfather revealed that like his last album he will be recruiting the writing talents of other MCs for the project.

When asked if he will be digging into his rhyme books this go-round, Snoop told XXL that instead he will be the mouthpiece for other rappers’ words. “I got a couple of my little homies that’s putting the pen to the paper,” he shared. “I be letting my homies get on by writing and expressing they thoughts through me. I be letting them have opportunities to be a star through me.”

Although it presently doesn’t have a release date, Snoop says he is about “50 to 70 percent done” with the disc. “I’m trying to finish this tour up and then get back home, do a few things to tighten it up,” he said.

The album, which Snoop describes as a “feel good record,” will be released by MTV. As far as the music, the Long Beach rep says “It feels good, back to the basics. I mean, I don’t do all that hyping, that ain’t my thing. I just go to the lab, drop a single and then drop another single, then drop the album. If you fukking with it, you get it. if you ain’t, you ain’t.”

Keep making excuses

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

So Drake never wrote anything.

Because a guy was credited on some songs?

Actually it's whatever helps YOU sleep. Ur the one who is so captivated by Drake that you need to keep assuring yourself.

As a one time fan, I've washed my hands of him.
