Where's Intellectual reciprocal or whatever his name is, at ?
That clown used to say Twista was the nicest rapper breathing outside
of Lupe.
:laugh:
Welp, there goes any respect I had for this man's pen or his music.

:scusthov: @ his excuse though,
"As long as they happy and they gettin money".

Not surprised but at the same time "gettin money" shouldn't be the end all be all of making
music.

It's funny. As soon as Drake was "exposed" it meant he never wrote any of his music. But people give Twista the benefit of the doubt that he wrote all the "good" stuff. The Booth yall. :mjlol:

:russ:

Why is this not stickied? Does it not fit the Booth's agenda??? :jbhmm:

Nickelus F. did an interview for Complex where he admitted he wrote on "Room For Improvement", which came out in '06.

They asked him to go into detail about what he wrote and he said he couldn't. He admitted he wrote at least one verse on "So Far Gone", '09.

He said he was not credited for it.

Nobody really paid attention to that, or random people on Twitter claiming QM, Hush, etc. was writing for Drake. Kia Shine claimed he wrote "Best I Ever Had", etc.

@SunZoo had a bunch of Tweets from back in the day, long before the Meek thing. This was '08-10, around there.

Fast forward to 2015, and Meek/QM happens.

So I'm :dead: at people talking about "well, why take Twista's word for it, that he didn't have help early in his career". Gee....I dunno, because we don't have proof and a time line, like with Drake?

Fred.
Aight, thats pretty thorough:whoo:

Drake always had such a professional aura about his lyricism. Like he never showed much personality, but his punchlines were perfectly calculated..

None of that has anything to do with you not liking that he changed his rap style without selling out. I don't care about your glory days memories not being upheld by your thoughts of what Twista should be. You are talking like he went commercial, he has the same subject matter as always and represents Chicago without question, so what is the beef other then not being what you want him to be? Check my rapsheet, I don't stan but you and your "back when I was doing it" lullaby's hold no weight here for a Chicago veteran that can be said in the same sentence as Kanye and Lupe. This ain't what you want, breh...you out your league here.


Post-tung twista po/pimp do or die twista era Stan, in full bloom.
Here you go with the volume pop stan base of twista shyt versus the guy culturally who was really there cognitively on his own volition.
The lead tactic of the puff yousa hater type rhetoric.
You are the guy who, watched it on rap city,.....


Which is why you never acknowledged that twista had any issues in his career culturally.
All because you like to revision history and hide his cultural lumps, into him overcoming all his administration issue on creator's way.
Where yes, Wendy day and twista worked masterfully to repair his cultural standing.
amidst, all the administrative issues that lead to possible full legality instead of settlements.
Yet to act like twista did not work to repair his cultural standing.
After he gained sway as a draw and worked administratively to get his label to rework the situation from cw to them.
Is just some all out bullshyt.
Yes, twista suffered cultural lumps for making smoke and ride series records.
One from the culture side for the image change and also from the snypaz.
as the twista po pimp do or die smoke and ride series of records.
Are a bite of the synpaz whole swag being reworked for both do or die and twista to permeate.

So, stop trying to play it like twista has this culturally impervious track record

Twista has been consistently exposed for shyt and this time exposed himself for his own shyt.
Which is a good strategic move.
Yet, he still has to accept and repair from the backlash.
Regardless, if he is as good as drake repair pr.
Including, infinite street cred and cultural sway to boot.
He still cheated in the second attempted gold rush of the era.
When, he never really needed to do that because he was never marketed as a flagship based artist like his artistry is as a pop relevant artist, consistently.
We, know so,...
All, because every person they market us in rap as a pop artist.
Those pop artist all have some direct form of twista in its DNA.
Yet, twista exists and is never marketed.
where other people are basically making records.
before as ghostface on shark biters would paraphrase and say,...
You get to make it with your own own pen or whateva, whateva.

Yet, in that...
You have to show you are better as an emcee,...

By, never accepting their obvious apparent help.
Also, realize twista's style version of a snypaz smoke and ride record is the most b*stardized version that is bit all time.
So, to act like this never occurred means you gotta be a post po pimp do or die twista makes snypaz based record pr fan.
That not even Wendy day or twista would really accept.
As it negates all the work they did to actually repair twista as a draw knowing all this.
Yes, twista has one of a kind clarity in this style of making records.
as a skill and as an actual recorded feat worthy artist.
Yet, in that we still have to realize,...just the series being named smoke and ride.
was to take the type of records the snypaz were originally making out west.
Plus, i would believe the similar admin issues the snypaz faced on rap-a-lot.

Would create social and cultural sway from both parties, of the snypaz and twista, over time
Yet to deny this was an actual issue.
is where the actual heat culturally extends from in twista's background culturally as an artist.
So not only is/was it a 180 degree gateway pimp gangsta pop turn for the time.
It was actually an incredible feat of skill we witnessed.
Yet, and still twista should never have accepted ghostwriters.
After all the shyt culturally twista has been through.
you have to have the prescient ability culturally.
to negate this from occurring in your circle.
It just should not be allowed.
I was not ever rhyming on juice solo beats getting practice.
or, giving out suggestions or none of that emcee sword violating cypha ass shyt.
I was never handing that nikka lines or try this or that in any context.
That shyt is violating,...
So, yeah in a pop context twista allowed this and for him to say is honest.
Yet, to negate that it opens up pandora's box culturally.
is just a flat out omission culturally of the truth.
That is completely welded in stan non ideal of cultural ideal and rhetoric.
Plus, it is blindly covered and oozing with homer based bullshyt and I am not going on that homer shyt, either.

That is the same shyt that destroyed the Mecca.
Created the disconnect in other parts of the united states.
into this bullshyt all media and marketing associated regions.

That ol goofball. Don't hold anyone accountable culturally for violating shyt.

Man, get the fukk on with that shyt.
That is exactly why this rap shyt and drawing is dead.
As a gateway artist and surefire dead end for everyone.
Except the classically trained and picked jingle writer pool they pick to pay to market the records for.
All, because the bulk layer of fans are pop sentiment fans.
Who are programmed to not accept accountability.
playing like toy look alikes of cultural based artist.
Who authenicate this shyt cause they giving the artist they base their whole life around a pass.
When, in life things go awry if things are not held accountable.
Twista just will be held accountable.
I, would think twista knows that and he just said.
That twista, feels he is an advanced enough artist to live through pr'n this himself.
So, to even negate the man the discussion.
Twista actually even asked for is wrong to occur.
Is all on you, attempting to fail protecting him and shows you are all in your feels.

I said from the beginning of the Drake/Meek Mill beef that the world of hip-hop not coming out en masse to challenge Drake on the ghostwriter allegations was more telling than the actual exposal itself and led me to believe there is a lot more ghostwriting in hip hop that is let on.

Twista coming out and saying this is massive as it now brings about BIG questions of our favorite rappers - some of whom I have already questioned to have had ghostwriters before and have been shot down by their stans.

2016 is gonna be an interesting year for the game. I can potentially see a number if "inactive" rappers letting shyt be known and even better a lot of :mjcry: stans

:blessed:

Twista had help on 3-4 songs towards the end of a 25 year long career.

Drake had help on the first mix tape he dropped.

Twista is exactly the same as Drake.

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.
nope don't work like that.. Drake is off the hook now. You want Drake to admit it but have no problem with Kanye never admitting it, Common never admitting it or any of these other rappers that haven't admitted it. Just say you don't like his music and keep it moving
