I never knew Jay Z ghostwrote Still Dre

[Broccoli Rob]

All of Will Smith's hits are ghostwritten.

Summertime- Rakim
Parents Just Don't Understand-KRS OneGettin Jiggy Wit It- Nas
Men in Black, Miami, Wild Wild West, the ENTIRE Willenium album - Jay-Z

I thought this was common knowledge on here.

I don't know about that one. Not saying it's bogus - but where's the (relative) proof. I do know they were linked in some capacity. I remember watching some live footage on Video Music Box and they were doing a show together.

On everything I love, the latest example of obvious ghostwriting is Dr.Dre on Kendrick Lamar's The Recipe

 

[Hannibal Fox]

Rakim writing Summertime for Will Smith is a lesser known fact. But if you listen to the song, it's pretty obvious.

 

[Broccoli Rob]

Yeah, but close your eyes and picture Ra saying:

"A groove, slightly transformed. Just a bit of a break from the norm."

Do it NOW

Tell me that don't sound like some shlt he would say

Jazzy Jeff already threw the idea in the bushes a while ago so no.

And just because it sounds like something that Rakim would say doesn't mean that he wrote it, Rakim is possibly the most popular rapper people patterned their styles after.

 

[The War Report]

Watching the video for it.

Remember when video hoes use to be


Now with the internet, we're jaded as fukk.

From an old interview that unfortunately I can't find on the net anymore:


BallerStatus.com: Have you done ghost-writing for any artists?

Juice: When I first moved back to Chicago from L.A., I began working with Clubhouse Entertainment. I was part of a writing team that produced "Summertime" by Will Smith, "The Kissing Game" by High Five, "Pass the Toilet Paper" by OutHere Brothers. I would freestyle in the booth and if there were any hot lines to be used, they would use 'em. I didn't really understand publishing at the time and didn't really care because those cats kind of took me in. We got sued by Kool and the Gang for the sample and nobody made money. It let me know that I had what it took to be a writer though. I am still working with the producer of "Summertime" (K Fingers aka AZZA). Everyone in Chicago knows he's still my guy. We just wrote and produced an album for a new artist, and I'm re-writing "Summertime" for him (He's a shorty, so we think it could work again). We'll see.

did Rakim (ghost)write "Summertime"? - ProjectCOVO.com Global Forum
