Twista admits to using a Ghostwriter

[wire28]

Twista say it ain't so

Now we have to question everything. Was it really you on slow jamz twista? Was it you

The Wu or Nas??

I say that because Nas got flack when word had it that Stic Man threw him a few lines. U had cats coming out the woodworks saying that was a no no.

Nah. Shorty was tryna say whole verses was ghostwritten. And it was a lie. But that's what he got flack for. I mean I been in the studio wit my nikkas and offered up a line here or there but I would never in a million years say I ghostwrote ANY of their shyt. Cause that's not ghostwriting. I have ghostwritten for artists before and that's a whole different process.

Culture is mine, these words I define
If you need you a hit I could give you some lines
I could pick you the beat I should write you the hook
You just sit back and smoke, our royalties took
Our royalties took
Our royalties toooooook!

The fact he said I would be able to tell,lets me know it was a few of these embarrassing songs he started doing.....songs he was "swagging out" on lets me know it was some of the new bullshyt where he's trying to keep up with the times.

And Common had ghostwriters?Chicago stand up

I gave up on rap along time ago.

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

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.

 

[KravenMorehead™]

the game is disgusting

 

[beenz]

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

Lol, don't try to justify this fukkery

This is a Hip Hop sin.

everyone at some point 9 times outta 10 has had some form of a "ghostwriter" write some shyt for them from time to time
whether it be a line here, a verse there or maybe even a suggestion of some sort
but no one is the exception, least not in my opinion
but the problem becomes if a nikka is proclaimin' to be the world's best lyricist and or mc and he don't write shyt
it'd be like puffy said he was the best mc when he got nikkas writin' the majority of his shyt
or when ye proclaims to be 1 of the best mcs but he got writers or like the shyt with drake
that's when it's a real issue

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

 

[MeachTheMonster]

He's talking about a couple of those radio/commercial songs he had a while back. He's right some of those songs you can definitely tell he didn't write.
