Who is on the female Mount Rushmore that writes their raps?

[Pure Water]

See this is what kills me about ghostwriters, when people hear they favorite rappers have ghostwriters they get mad. I don't care as long as they make good songs. I am a huge Ghostface fan and he is in my top artist of all time, but he did not write his own raps early on and I am cool with that, don't bother me

It's not a problem that they don't write their raps. It's the claim they make to their legacy that reserved for people that write their own raps that's a problem.

It's also even more understandable if it's a producer turned rapper rather than just a voice.

They sued for writing and production credits.

In the suit, they said they worked on 13 out of the 14 cuts and were supposed to get partial writing credit on 13 of the songs, with the percentages, but never got them. They said Lauryn told them it would happen, and that they had a "verbal deal" with her, but she never came through. They ended up settling for like $5 million, I think.

Were they claiming they actually wrote the rhymes?? Or were they saying they wrote hooks or contributed to the melody of a song?? Because there’s a big difference, and either way you’d still get writers credits.

NY bias always ruins these discussions

What non-retarded reasoning can you or @CHICAGO muster that MC LYTE of all people don't belong on the Female Rap Mt. Rushmore? I MUST hear this. If we want to keep it really real, Salt N Pepa deserve a spot despite not writing their first 2 or 3 albums. Latifah too. They did more for female rap than anybody.

They never specified. They just said "writing lyrics".

So who knows. But they said they wrote "Everything is Everything" too, which she mostly rapped on. They only excluded one song from the suit. So it could be anything.

I ain't said a word about MC Lyte

You cosigned his post listing 4 chicks from the late 90s-00s talking about "NY bias". You tell me what that means then.

Sha rock
Bahamadia

after these three.
i cram to really understand how people have been duped by the disco meets rnb/house music fraud. that is the female rapper.

Lyte is still Top 2, for me.

But I used to always hear that Milk was writing her sh*t too.

Oh this is not to single out or be demonstrative to your post. Yet a response to the entire dialogue.

Puba and parrish wrote for lyte.

Go check y'all j cards.

I been talked about.
how the complexion of female rap was never properly ushered.
into the new school way of thought.
Which how the roxanne ward came to be. Plus went on for so long and in that.
female rap never took on any mores or norms from the emcee or dj pillars.
As well as violating mores and norms of break and graf at its core roots. Which is a no no .
as to be in hiphop.
you can not violate any mores and norms of any pillar ever.
So female rap in rhe ol school way of thought and post roxanne war. Never embraced hiphop culture. As this disco house duck level line stepping violations were eventually used to segregate the male side from the culture in hiphop in the nee school way of thought effectively by 2013 entirely.
Which is why i have told people who was going to dominate on the female side. As far back as rhe debut of lauren as a solo on the net as a review critic.
While my stances predate and are cosigned culturally online and offlind.
In activity and actualization in the breakin pillar of hiphop. from as early as the roxanne wars.

FOr a good long while now.

I have strayed away from consistently reposting or exposing lyte and la.

Yet they really souled't us out with a long con.
Where they covertly violated hiphop and flirted the line of lies and deception.

Now granted...oddly enough i adore latifah and lyte. shyt i used to have latifah had it up to here crush on la.
Yet and still,...la was on bullshyt culturally. Where both her and lyte insulated themselves toe'n rhe line to escape scrutiny culturally and it is type bogus tho. Plus is used.
to keep this ruse of females being self sufficient in the business of rap as well. When females are violating the mores and norms of a nimber of pillars by not being self sufficient in their expression and works.

It is a well orchestrated lie. That somehow has been able to keep going and is used as a point of degradation. As how we all arose to here with no point of return as well.

Lyte didn't kill anything

Antoinette had the most fukked up record deal ever

she wasn't allowed to go hard at lyte or preform live much

had Antoinette looking crazy when she would have DESTROYED lyte in reality

the 'beef' was fake and setup by the labels anyway

Lyte is a industry plant response to Roxanne Shante

she never won any battles and had writers most overrated female rapper of all time

Antoinette was huff as hell tho.

She was not doing nuffin of the sort regardless if lyte had ge or not. Antoinette was huff as fukk.

Antoinette was a case of she should never be allowed around a mic. Antoinette is the exact type of culturally wack and lacking skill artist.

the aftermath of the roxanne wars was to prohibit.

Lol... Lyte put on a clinic

Lyte with parrish made for the time. The second best diss recird all time in the new school way of thought. As well as the third best all time diss in rap history.
when it debuted.
Now granted lyte is a voice over artist. Yet you give mc lyte some parrish and puba input and careers were getting ended and massacred.
