Roscoe Dash actually has some pretty great songs, as far as the modern sound goes. Don't surprise me one bit

Tamar Braxton tried to play him awhile back

Then



He also did John for Wayne


That whole John song was the biggest clusterfukk of who did what. There was like 5 different nikkas claiming to be the producer. Ayo the producer, Yung Berg, Polow Da Don, and I think one of Wayne's manager or something was trying to claim credit as well

This ghostwriting stuff is interesting to me especially seeing how now ppl talk about it so freely even though it's taboo. Did anyone ever further investigate Roca fella producer Zukan Bey when he told XXL he ghostwrote a verse for Jay-z "B****** and sisters" back in 2006?

Okay, but didn't you claim to ghostwrite a verse on Jay-Z's "*****es & Sisters" off Blueprint 2? What exactly did you write for him?

Zukhan: [Laughs] I wrote the whole second verse. I came up with the concept [for the song] and actually co-wrote it. I did "Roc Army" [off the Paid in Full soundtrack] with Cam and Jay... a lot of stuff. I did a lot of **** over there at Roc-A-Fella.

how do you feel about the accusations that both jay z & ghostface have used ghostwrit [Archive] - TehBored

Lol! I agree and apparently some ppl back then did too back then too because I couldn't find anything else about this accusation either (granted that this was back in 06 and stuff could've been erased by now). But ever since the Drake/Meek stuff I've been looking up rappers who have been accused of using ghost writers and this one stood out to me because I would've never have guessed that Jay could have possibly used one.

I've always liked Roscoe. Thought he was too damn talented to be making the shyt that he was making. There's this Roscoe Dash mixtape that came out around 2012. I can't remember the name of it but the boy was snappin' on that bytch something serious.

He pulled a meek mill back in the day and damn near got black balled from the rap game. Not a fan of his style or pen game but his hook making skillset is A1

See I didnt know that. Thats kinda fukked up how the game is tho. Back in the day this shyt wouldn't fly. A nikka getting called out for not writing his own shyt probably wouldn't have a career and the only cats that were for certain not writing their own shyt were producers.

Smh that's a damn shame I'll stop fukkin wit a rapper if they don't write they own shyt that's lame to me and game can spit why otha people writing his shyt?

songwriting is a collaborative process (in all genres) when you hit the top level breh.

you might as well stick to listening to stuff like immortal technique, riff raff, non-phixion and jedi mind tricks if you dont wanna be disappointed :yeshrug:


@Larry Legend how do brehs even get into that area of ghostwriting and helping write records? seems like as long as youre getting paid, its the GOAT job. get paid and get to work/chill in the studio, and not have to do all the extra shyt the artists gotta do. still walk around in sweatpants at costco and shyt

No, constructing a song & writing someone's lyrics are not the same:francis:
