Let's talk GHOSTWRITERS... Wayne, Kanye, Dre, who else?

[badmoonrison]

There's been talk for a while about Rhymefest writing for Kanye. Personally I think it was most obvious when College Dropout's rhymes were honestly below average, and then Late Registration sees a huge jump in quality... Ye knew he needed to step up so Fest got the call.

We also know that names like Snoop, Cube, Ren, Eminem have been brought up in the Dre ghostwriting talk. Who else? I could see 50.

The aforementioned two aren't as bad as a pure MC, simply because Kanye and Dre are two legendary hip-hop producers that have carved their own place in history, and the rhymes almost come secondary. But what about Wayne? I've also heard things about Eazy-E, possibly getting help from Bone Thugs? It's pretty bad if an emcee needs a ghostwriter... then what are they good at?

Let's talk, NT. And try to use sources... I know it's easy to say "I heard that..." (and I'm guilty of it too) but does anyone have some solid evidence?

Makes you really question the genius of such revoultionary lines like "Run laps around the English Channel/Neptunes, I got a Cocker Spaniel" 

Pure Geniys

Hov wrote "The Watcher 1" and Dre's verse on the "Watcher 2"

I thought Rhymefest supposedly wrote "Jesus Walks" and that was it, "Late Registration" was all Ye I think

Have you heard Jungle's verse on Braveheart Party or Zone Out?

 

[airjordan jb23]

Im sensing a touch of sarcasm on the Jungle/Nas comment...

 

[jupiterjaywall]

WAYNE DOESNT HAVE A GHOSTWRITER.
Unless your counting Shannell on Rebirth.

Kanye had writers on 808s..

Honestly, please provide proof? 
Cause ALL the YM dudes will say, and admit that the most writing they do for each other, is hooks.

 

[Master Zik]

Puffy. Probably only dude that's made it clear he has one and I enjoy from time to time but that's cuz he gets dudes who are really good at rap to write for him.

The Jungle talk is a joke from one of NaS' rhymes. "What if Jungle wrote my +++! and I was really illiterate"

or something like that.

Wayne ofcourse
Probably Drake
Kanye obviously

I dont see how somebody would think Wayne has a ghost writer, maybe a hook or two but bars nah

This.!

 

[beatjunkie5]

I think everyone at one point in the career's of all these artists there had to be a line/hook/verse that was contributed in some way...

I have a friend who works in an LA studio that worked with 'Ye, and they told me he would freestyle over beats for hrs and someone wrote the lines he would say...then they would mix and match lines from there...so I guess the point is it all depends on the song and the flow, Ye' didn't have Con or anyone else write all his catalog...I seriously doubt Wayne came up with EVERY SINGLE song he came out with for every mixtape he's come out with...it's just hip hop man, they get inspired and take certain elements from people all the itme...

 

[CUNNiNGH4M]

[essential1]

I see some Young Money stans in here. Come on Wayne never had a ghost writer.. Please
