This. If men don't wanna fukk and women don't wanna be you, you finished
Ain't no more latifahs. Even da brat ended up slutting it up towards the end
Isn't Latifah lesbian herself?
Coli keeps on moving those goal posts like Hollywood sets. To me, if Latifah was truly about "U.N.I.T.Y." she would've promoted some females under her wing and give them game. Most of these female OG's are hypocrites, they ain't doing shyt to keep this generation alive and popping either.
I thought MC Lyte set the standard for females to not have ghostwriters, until I read this and was so disappointed.
I'm glad Lord Jamar cleared up the ghostwriting/ghostproducing thing
Truth Behind The Industry: An Inside Look At Songwriting In Hip Hop With Smitty | KevinNottingham.com
Lyte had that "10% Dis" at Antoinette for Rakim ghostwriting for her, yet she had LL write her "Destruction" verse, Smitty and now Puba, along with God knows who else?
Wouldn't surprise if Young M.A. had one, the way she writes reminds me of someone in Brooklyn, I can't think of who. Anyways,
I've gathered that the females who were never versatile, or could have variety of a style they mastered - were the most likely suspect to have ghostwriters. That's evident when you could hear how many times:
- They normally don't switch their cadences, and when they do, it flows like the guy who wrote it.
- Using deliveries that aren't theirs, questionable vocal inflections (from rappers who constantly have given them reference guides, etc.)
- Rhyme schemes (positioning, "borrowing" certain techniques, complexity, etc.)
- Slang (dead give away, unless used by females in their own way)
- Subject matter is way outside their range of topics they're inclined to make songs about.
- All of a sudden, they have a Thesaurus level vocabulary when they never had one.
Really, this list can go on, but these are those
"bytch please....
" indicators.
when I read that Rapsody joined ROC Nation, damn did 9th Wonder not teach her anything????
