People don't really care...just like it came out 90s rap superhero common has Rhymefest writing for him, nobody blinked an eye...the selective outrage is reserved for who rap smarks consider heels
Man you know it only matters when it comes to Drake... See below @hexagram23
Other genres don't revolve around how nice you are with the pen


And neither does rap revolve around that
Here's the thing....

I don't care if rappers have ghostwriters as long as they're up front with it. I've said that since day 1 of the Drake fiasco.

If I had a problem with ghostwriting across the board there would be no Eazy-E, Ye, or Dre in my playlist.

This Twista shyt is :manny: to me because he said his best shyt was him. He'd already established himself as "Twista" in hip-hop before he used ghostwriters on 3-4 songs, across a 25 year long career.

I'm sure Drake stans are salivating at the chance to use this interview to validate him....let me put an end to that.

Drake was accused of using ghost writers since day 1, and never addressed it, even after the reference track stuff. He just did soft ball interviews and dodged the question.

That is what I have a problem with. Because he built a career and legacy off someone else, and won't even admit it. And that's where Twista went full retard in the interview, saying stuff like that doesn't matter.

Fred.

This here is that bullshyt

Either you are ok with ghostwriting or it is an impartable sin

You cant make exceptions just to show disdain to Drake

Dog, when I remembered that nikka on Yo MTV Raps looking and rapping like this (i personally fukked with it)



Then hearing this nikka a few years later on this


I was like :wtf:
This nikka did a complete 360.



Imagine if you used to be at chi rock meetings and see him every week.
Then, you go to college.
Dea and chi-rock is on some other shyt.
Then, out of nowhere crucial shows up and then twista is like this.
Plus, that sellout radio station talembout hip hop lives is on bullshyt, too.
It was like bizzarro world, breh.

We still living bizzarro world.

I loved Twista growing up, but lets be real here...breh wasn't exactly known for having the deepest and freshest lyrics :beli:

So it's really whatever to me :manny:

If this was Rakim I could understand the outrage, but this is Twista we're talking about.

This is why no one is taking meeks side with the exception of a couple nikkas... hooks, bars, flows, cadences get tossed around all the time...

He shot himself in the foot... ghostwriting, ghost producing all goes on.. its not to the point where nikkas are writing WHOLE albums for nikkas.. i think thats where y'all getting confused... (with the exception of puff, dre, etc.)
