But now that Snoop has said it i'm at not realising sooner the flow is 90's circa Jigga

All of Will Smith's hits are ghostwritten.

Summertime- Rakim
Parents Just Don't Understand-KRS One
Gettin 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.

You forgot Just cruisin - Nas

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

One thing that Townes had to set the record straight about was a long-held rumor that Rakim had ghostwritten Smith’s lyrics on the song. But, as Townes explained, Smith was the sole author.

"Will was always very hyper and I told him, “Bring it back. Vibe with it,”‘ Townes said. ‘And when he did that, everyone was like, “Wow. He sounds like Rakim.” From the first day we played the record for people, they thought it was Rakim. When we first released it, everyone was like, “Did you hear that new song that Rakim did?”‘

Nas ghostwrote for Will Smith on "Big Willie Style"

I saw Shawn Carter credits on the "Still Dre" track in the booklet like Hov just did this dude a favor.

 

[Roovers410]

Allot of rappers have ghostwriters...Pac had writers for his hook, same with the game etc etc

 

[ItalianoCAC]

Yep and i'd like to here Jay spittin that verse for Dre cause when you hear the flow, it's clear that it's a Jay written verse. "It's the D-R-E" "It's the R-O-C"

Dre probably destroyed the reference track.

Would be interesting though...not as interesting as when I heard Biggie spit "Eating my p*ssy while I watch cartoons" though

 

[MoneyBags]

C'mon man

"the Firm flop"...Jay dissin Nas through Dre...

You gotta know this stuff

wrong song fool, that's forgot about dre.

 

[ItalianoCAC]

I hear y'all. But I ain't buying it. I wouldn't admit it either.

But hey, it's a classic record.

just a lil something to break tha "monot-ney"

Rakim says he didn't write it. Jazz says that was will smiths pen game

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Jay wrote the hook too. If you see snoop in the songwriting credits, that is for the stuff he came up with at the end : "no stems, no seeds, no sticks......"
