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.

Yeah, but if you know the conflict and story behind why this occurred and what was covered up.
Then, we could give this a pass.
These are solo records and they should have been marketed like snoop's ghostwritten record was.
Lol, at knowing about this shyt for a long time.

This shyt is more of the nikkaz who sold out chi-rock a long time ago..finally showing the real true colors and sentiment of what really was the word when po pimp twista showed up.
Which is an extreme deviation of illstste assassin's in the African garb and cane twista.
That yeah, his admin issues made him impervious to criticism.
Yet, and still twista still has to have the whole story out there and his position talked about as well.

This is not new to me.

Drake went on to have a big year while mainstream media compared him to Taylor Swift. He's not even seen as a rapper, he's a pop star. That ain't my opinion, that's how music publications like Fader and Complex describe him.

The Dre mention makes no sense because we knew from day 1 he had ghost writers. Nobody in their right mind ever argued Dre was a nice MC. Plus he produced anyway.

U said all that but are u saying this will hurt Twista in anyway? I mentioned Wu, Nas, Drake and Dre to prove a point that all that ghostwriting sh*t doesnt mean anything. Are u saying that besides it being news to the fanatics that it will hurt Twista?? Is that what u are trying to tell me??? I say it wont...are u saying that it will??

I mean I'm pretty sure someone like Nas has had help in recent times, but if you wanna tell me somebody ghostwrote songs on Illmatic then we'd be talking about something different.
