I dunno, I don't look at george clooney any differently just because someone is feeding him lines to say. at the end of the day, I'm entertained by his movies. I'm not gonna not see oceans fiftyleven just cuz he didn't write it. it's all entertainment. premier may be one of the best producers but I ain't getting on primo's head cuz he don't play instruments.



how you gonna say that "I'll be missing you" wasn't Puffy's feelings, thoughts & emotions? regardless of how garbage that song is it's an extension of what puff felt when big passed. he can't write that shit, he's puffy, so he gets sauce money to write his lyrics. but puff probably told him what to say, what the emotion of the song shuold be. do people get on the president's case cuz he got speech writers?

if snoop did have ghost writers don't you think it would sound like the opposite ? lol. i think he's just been going in the booth and freestyling for like the past decade... probably longer than that actually.

its been know that snoop has ghostwiters, he said so himself. the whole ego tripin lp is ghostwritten...


Despite it being a taboo subject in the realm of hip-hop. Mr. Broadus admitted to it in a recent interview with XXL.

Back to the album. Initially, there weren’t supposed to be any guest artists on Ego Trippin’. Why the switch?

It just happened. That might be me ego-tripping. The real ego-tripping on this record is that I let people write songs for me.

Singing songs? Rapping songs?

Everything.

Have you run out of things to say yourself?

Nah. I’m ego-tripping. I was watching Diana Ross getting inducted into a Hall of Fame, and she got up there and named all these great songwriters. Her biggest songs were written by somebody else. So I’m thinking, Wow, there’s nothing wrong with my pen, but I’m going to let other people write for me.

It's what separates entertainers from artists.

Also, I remember about a year ago being linked to a beat that Dr. Dre stole for the Chronic, anyone else ever hear it? I can't find it anymore.

has anyone ever noticed that with other forms of music besides rap they credit the songwriter? Whitney Houston is credited as a Singer whereas Aretha Franklin is a Singer/Songwriter. People aren't gonna look down on Whitney Houston because she don't write her own shit, they gonna look down on her cuz she a crackhead, but the fact that other people write her hits don't mean shit. it shouldn't mean shit for hip hop. you getting top quality music, who cares who wrote it.

thats why aretha is more respected than whitney, they both can sing but a real artist can write they own music and sing the hell out of it

i always lose respect for artists who dont write their own music no matter how talented they are otherwise, thats fake to me

A rapper and a writer / producer is a collaberation if they are all in the lab and brain storming and a great song comes out on a solo album dope!

if they give the rapper a beat with a hook already and hand him some bars on paper the recite not cool


Edit : i'm high trying to type on a iphone
