After going through a ton of BS in the emails, this is the only thing that even looked semi-possible. I guess someone decided to expose all the rappers who use Ghost Writers, don’t worry, you probably won’t see something you didn’t already suspect.

lol...these ghost writers and the people who used them arent anything i wouldnt expect...i knew diddy n dre didnt write thier own shit
-Dam....Kiss ghost writing for BIG?
-Cam dissing Mase but Mase ghost wrote for him?
-Mase wrote for Jay?
Is this credible?
http://rapblog.wordpress.com/
its all a damn lie
not suprised, but they left out the ghost writers for fat joe...Big Pun,Cuban Link,Armagedon, ect.....here's some food for thought...rap music is an expression of ones self..even if you're not the best rapper/lyricist/wroter, you should get respect for at least WRITING YOUR OWN SHYT!!!!! thats like hip hop 101..any rapper/mc who does'nt write his shyt is a disgrace!!! 1 www.myspace.com/tonezworld www.tonezworld.com get at me 1
haha that still dre jay z actually must be true,listen to it and imagine Jigga spitting.
a yo i told niggas that dre aint write shit and my boy jada GOT CAKE 4 ALL THAT WRITING HE DID BACK IN THE DAY 4 DIDDY AND CAM TRUST ME THERES MORE THAT THEY DID NOT FIND
The shit about Dre is, dude never claimed to have wrote anything, so that isn't really news. When he was with NWA, Cube was writing his (and pretty much everyone else's too) rhymes.
When he was with Death Row, Snoop wrote a lot of his stuff. So you can't knock Dre since he never said anything to the contrary.
Some of these other cats on the other hand...
You can tell T.I. wrote that Bow Wow 'Freshazimiz' joint too...imagine that shit in T.I.'s voice.
THIS IS FAKE, WELL JAY Z ADMITED HE WROTE A COUPLE OF TRACKS FOR MEMPHIS BLEEK. BUT JAY Z AND BIGGIE SMALLS DONT WRITE THERE LYRICS!! SO HOW ARE THEY GONNA HAVE GHOSTWRITERS!?
DONT MAKE SINCE, I BELIEVE ALL THE DIDDY ONES AND BOW WOW WRITES 1 SONG EACH ALBUM SO I BELIEVE THAT BUT BIGGIE AND JAY Z I DONT BELIEVE.
oschino need credit for that 'i jus wann luv ya' n a coupla otha ROCafella tracks
i thought i saw some where that T.i. ghost wrote almost all of Bow Wows song
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter I(the album) (ghostwritten by Gillie Da Kid)
Lil Wayne - 500 Degreez (title track) (ghostwritten by Gillie Da Kid)
Lil Wayne - Way of Life (feat Birdman) (ghostwritten by Gillie Da Kid)
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter II (who knows???) (i think Curren$y!!) lmao
im just fuckin with the Wayne heads on this one! WHAT! lol :0)
Ghostwiting means the Ghost writer wrote it. Co-writing means the artist wrote it with help from the ghost writer. Jay-Z and biggie got co-writing credits from other people(except, biggie's verse on only you).
Ok ok ok. Although this article is mainly speculation, it's still complete bullshit. I knew Hov wrote Still DRE, but there's a couple in here that make no sense, why would biggie need a ghostwriter on a song like Hypnotize? It aint like he didn't destroy (understatement) his first album.
Also FYI, Pharoahe monche ghostwrote press play for diddy and a lot of his early joints. Ghost writing producing etc. its all part of the game.
This changes my view of "TOP TEN" MC's
10. LL Cool (Longevity, Adaptation, Flow, Battling)
9. Ice Cube (Longevity, Adaptation, Subject Matter, Battling, Changed The Game)
8. KRS (Subject Matter, Lyrics, Depth, Battling)
7. Em (Flow, Subject Matter, Lyrics, Held His Own with another great)
6. Rakim (Flow, Subject Matter, Lyrics, Depth)
5. Biggie (Flow, Lyrical Beast, Two out of Two Classic Albums)
4. Nas (Lyrical Beast, Dept, Subject Matter, Battling)
3. Scarface (Flow, Subject Matter, Lyrical Beast, Held His Own with other greats)
1A. Jay-Z (Flow, Lyrical Beast, Longevity, Changed The Game)
1. 2Pac (YOU CALL IT)
word man im tired of people leavin Eminem off tha top 10 cuz thats wassup... an JADAKISS IS THA MOST UNDERRATED in the game holla
when people use ghostwriters it sounds fake and why isnt Lil wayne-tha carter-on hear gillie wrote that shit
thats how money goes around...keep you jaws up haters
Is This True Biggie and Ice cube used ghostwriters??? Cam'ron too??? The rest were pretty obvious!!!
I heard a story a while back that Jay-z's "I just wanna love you" was originally Mases song so that could be true!!!
Also who is ROC???
lol all the people saying gillie wrote for wayne but theres no proof that he wrote that whole album of the carter.... other then that the list meh theres many more
a that's crazy i love hip hop but this has been going on from the beginning.it's just makes u wonder how much more is ghostwrite.i see why Jay only battle with high level MC's not lesser.but Cats need to be exposed, some of this cats is diss'in each other a son is writ'in was writing for U CRAZY. That really hurt my feeling with Biggie and Jay. but BIggie,Jay,Kiss,Foxy,Snoop,IceCube,even Kim, still high level Mc's cause in a battle they'll whole there own.
A......All articles within this section are solely based on speculation and are not to be merited as factual content. Reader discretion is advised......The only 1 Im positive ov is Jay Wrote Bleeks shit on coming of age 1...He toldem the sooner u learn this shit the sooner ull be on the album (STAMPED)
damn yo tha only one i'm skeptikal about is tha biggie one, other than that i believe this ish...at least 2pac didn't have any ghostwriters, he's still tha greatest.
At least 50 name ain't there
im not buying it. i think its all ment to sound good.
Jay [on] STILL DRE' ahh..iiidddoonnnntttkknnoowww
Sounds like bullshit, but why would someone go through the time of coming up with s such a detailed and long list? It would take a lot of work to make that shit up...
Anyway, Yes, Gillie Da Kid did ghostwrite for Wayne, thats no secret.
I wouldn't be surprised if Biggie had ghostwriters since Diddy seems to be big on that stuff.
Am surprised Big L didn't write lines for anyone.
I dont think any of it is true
No Wonder I Was Sing'N Bow Wow Song
someone wrote biggie's shyt?????????? give me a break
50 wrote for diddy too
Wow Jody breeze wrote for diddy. Thats crazy. The others i kinda expected. But Jody breeze. That nigga is hot no doubt but he aint even dropped a solo album yet and he writting for Diddy
the young gunna knows wat up
yea thats the same with smitty he just now getting out there and look at the stuff they are accrediting him for. And speaking of Jody Breeze that cat need to be exposed he got on by stealing another mc name. Thats right there is no rumor or nothing you want the story and the facts get at me
nigga please jody need to be exposed caus eerrybody sleepin on him, i dont care if took someones name. where are they????????fuckboy
you want to get at someone for stealing a name go holla at 50 cent for trying to portray a real drug lord when hes just a chump who got shot up 9 times for being a dumbass.
I don't believe anyone wrote for Jay and BI
i dont believe a few of these. especially some1 writtin for big. i would never believe that. he was too nice for some1 to write for him
I don't think ya'll understand how hard rapping is. I, personally would never use a ghostwriter... But I can see why some of them would use em. Shit gets stressful. Majority I've heard b4. So alot of them are tru. and if this source is ASCAP... Shit... Its got 2 be tru no doubt.
To the people talking about if Hov wrote Still D.R.E. or not.Dr.Dre said Hov wrote Still D.R.E. when it came out, young ass nigga do your research.
I don't believe Kiss ghost wrote for biggie Cause biggie tutor kiss
i feel sorry for most of deez cats. when dey reed dis.lmao!!!
I DON'T BELIEVE AT LEAST HALF OF THE LIST. I BELIEVE THE OTHER HALF THOUGH
what do they do when jay z writes a verse for someone else ya think he writes it down or just spits and they get a stenographer to type the shit down and give it to someone else because that would be fuckin hillarious.
mase didnt ghost write shit 4 jay or big
This is internet snitchin, http://www.datpiff.com/Str8-Business-The-Eay-Money-Mixtape-mid3190.html
THIS LIST IS 70% TRUE, AND 30% BULLSHIT. KISS WRITING FOR BIG...FUCK YOU
MASE WRITING FOR HOVA....FUCK YOU THREE WAYS.
JAY GHOSTWROTE FOR MASE YOU PRICKS.
props to jada makes me like him more. bums me out about foxy i always thought she was one of the better female rappers but i guess ya had to see that comin. hov was always up on her shit plus she was in REASONABLE DOUBT
Damn I didnt know BIG had that many ghostwritten tracks. I thought all his shit was his
Yo Diddy has most ov his songs ghost written he don't deserve much
look man its like this most of tht shit is tru but biggie didnt need a ghostwriter diddy did thts probably why most people who get signned 2 bad boy don t put out an another album they wrote they shit and then diddy took it and put it on his
Yo PPL its a FACT MA$E wrote the verse for BIGGIE on 112 - ONLY YOU. He Said it with an interview on Radio when Diddy was there with him. Part of the test Diddy gave him was to write those verses on 112 Only you for the remix. I know you dont like it but its true if it WAS A LIE WHY didn't puff say something to the contary?
I believe there is more LOX stuff out there Especially all about the Benjamins, neither Biggie or Puff wrote there verses on this, the whole song was written by the LOX.
I guess Jay-Z is actually the greatest and he was right when he said best in the game since daddy kane and BI.
Diddy’s "Come 2 Me" – ghost-written by Jody Breeze
This is not true....It was Ghost Written By Royce da 5"9'
Also Pharoah Monch Ghost is one of diddy's Favs.
