Twista admits to using a Ghostwriter

[spliz]

We were raised on Eazy E saying "Ice Cube writes the rhymes...that I say"......Eazy said that in 88/89. So in my eyes its like whatever. It was well known that Jiggaman wrote "Still Dre" and that song is a classic irregardless. Twista was never someone who I looked at as excpetionally on the technical side but his flow was exceptional and phenominal so if Twista had some help, to me its like eh! Now Rakim on the other hand...If he had ghostwritters, That would be newsworthy.

But see if u actually looked at Twista''s rhymes they are technically great as well. So it does bother me. Cube was a writer. He wasn't ghostwriting for Eazy cause it wasn't a secret. Same with Dre. Whose main calling is a producer first. He openly uses writers. And isn't looked at as a dangerous emcee. Twista was/is. So yea. It hurts him.

LOL @ it hurting him. I dont think anyone cares like that unless u are a fanatic. Drake went on to have a big year after the accusations. Dre has ghostwritters and Detox is the most anticipated Hip Hop album ever. I cant see people removing Overnight Celebrity from their playlist because of this interview.

Fukk outta here. shyt is wack no matter how you put it.

i feel you but i'm just sayin' how it works most of the time

 

[DougFunnY]

who gives a shyt? only in hip hop do people make such a big deal about having other songwriters.

in every other genre, this would be looked at like

Other genres don't revolve around how nice you are with the pen

But could that Ghostwriter spit it like Twista tho?


That ghostwriter bandwagon hoopla that people got caught up in this year never meant much to me after The Wu admitted in the 90's that they share ideas off of each other. Not to mention when Nas took the line "Lifes a b*tch but god forbid the b*tch divorce me I'll be flooded with Ice so hells fires can't scorch me" from Cormega. Its like, whatever.

I never knew that. And I fukks with that line too...

It kinda hurt my heart to hear that Twista used ghostwriters. It just doesn't feel right to me.

Why are u mentioning Dre again?. I already said what that was about. And I'm not even gonna get into the Drizzy shyt cause u know what that's about.

OK....I tell u what. Lets wait one year and see if this interview hurts dude in anyway. I know for a fact it wont. Only fanatics would really care and even then they'd be forgiving as always.


Once Scarface admitted to not liking any Geto Boys albums and pretty much calling them all gimmick records and Mr Cee getting caught with trannys...Nothing suprises me in Hip Hop anymore.

 

[bigrodthe1]

Shut up...you need a ghost writer

That interviewer was


Damn Twista.....

 

[That Singer Guy...]

it shows and why is this upped @hustlemania @TEKBEATZ @That Singer Guy... I see y'all now becoming with the shyts. I as well as others got REAL Hip Hop threads doing numbers and y'all upping bullshyt threads where cats not even taking the time to listen to the interview in the OP. Twista CLEARLY defined why he used verses written by other folks and cats are now really trying to question his standing as a Pioneer lyricist/artist. This is bullshyt

Its upped because it's big news.
