It goes deeper than you can imagine

I searched hip-hop on craigslist one day to see if there were any shows going on in the city and I came across this

This is For Serious Artists Only

I'm a professional songwriter with a worldwide publishing deal, in addition to my worldwide clientele my work has been featured on major label releases by prominent artists, MTV , FOX and in film.

Push again due to the discussion in those godawful pac & cube threads

 

[1-8-7-Skillz]

So what y'all brehs think about certain songs being handed to another rapper like in the pac/ray luv case ?
Is it the same as "traditional ghostwriting" for you ?
This is by far not the only example of this, seems to be a common practice amongst crews to sometimes also share whole songs...

 

[desp]

Travis Scott album thread at 20+ pages so apparently it ain't that serious

dont listen to him, is he also known for using writers ?

 

[1-8-7-Skillz]

Just seein that 2pac thread about the "2pacalypse now" album and him usin songs by ray luv gotta push this again.
Anyone here know of more songs shared between artists ?
I got 2 examples by snoop & soopafly for now

 

[1-8-7-Skillz]

Damn would be dope to hear the soopafly version of this, I think he was supposed to drop his album after snoop but it never came out...

 

[blizzard man]

As for QM I think you could hear his frustration in some of his own music but some people are content with that. The ones that really do it like that would rather everybody shut the fukk up about it so they can keep caking

this, id be content if the setup was right

some nikkas just want that fame tho

which is absolutely stupid.
I think most people appreciate exactly this about ghostwriting, you gettin good money but you aint in the limelight

As somebody who's done some ghost writing my perspective on it is that you can't vie for rap supremacy if you aren't writing your own raps. There is a difference though between working in groups and getting input for songs or even projects you're doing together and essentially being a performance artist.

Rap supremacy is fictional. What do you really get for being a legend in hip-hop?

Nas and K-R-S selling out football stadiums here? I honestly don't know if they are.

Rakim opened for Kreayshawn.

Artists covering their work? Album of the Year nominations?

WWE at least has its own Hall of Fame and annual large-scale event to showcase their talent/legends. Hip-hop artists go into the rock-and-roll HOF, no?
