Been saying this since the beginning, Ghostwriting has always been a part of Music. How in the hell do y'all think rap is any different? Y'all so called purist are relying on a false and very flawed narrative.

You fukking serious to rap cats like drew and snoop maybe we don't care but dudes like rakim, nas and PAC... If they don't write a majority of their rhymes?!
I refuse to believe the best lyrical MCs are outright frauds. nikkas don't even have talent to write their own music anymore shyt is fukking insane. Its not fukking hard to write your own rhymes!!!! 
Cube wrote for Eazy, so what did people expect?

Did you even read what i said?
If we're judging mc's then obviously writing your own lyrics matter
If we are judging how good a song is it doesnt matter who wrote it
Two completely different things bro
If you're a rapper, chances are you've written for someone else(like many of the hip hop greats) or had verses written for you(like Drake and Lil Kim). Either way it's bad for business to publicly bash ghostwriting. I'm not surprised everyone is sticking with the safe answers.
Cube son was more unPC than him
"Those who don't write their raps are really R&B singers"
notice the ones saying this aren't the OGs. The other day Busta said the same things Cube just said

But don't lyrics make the damn song?!?!
Is "all about the benjamins" a lesser song because puffy didnt write his verse? Of course not
Is puffy a lesser m.c because he dont write his own lyrics? Of course
Again, its 2 different things

How many of you guys are familiar with the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"? there is a famous quote in the movie that is so fitting the myth of I write my own shyt. The quote is
"This is the West Sir, and when the legend becomes fact, print the legend".
The gentlemen seated is telling a lot of lies and they know it, so they are basically telling him tell a lie enough it will become the truth.

Ain't no one said anything about ANYONE not writing the majority of their raps. Damn why y'all niccas always go from 0 to 100? People been pointing to a few ghostwritten verses to say Hip Hop is dead and all people in the industry is saying is that collaboration happens. Nas has used ghostwritten verses here and there but he's still a lyrical beast. What is so hard to understand?
I know he wrote for people but I read somewhere that Jeru wrote It Was A Good Day. Not lying..I asked a question. I'm happy if it's not true
