Idk what he was doing in 03-05 but you can still write for people while doing that lol

nope little known fact lupe can not physically write as he is missing his thumbs

The potential profit is based off the artist's talent and skills.

I don't know if you know this but B.o.B is a really good songwriter lol

He knows how to craft a song, which is why he blew up so quickly to the mainstream.

Paul heard his Cloud 9 mixtape, which was released in 2007.

"Paul Rosenberg played him the Cloud 9 mixtape and it kind of gave him an idea of what my music sounds like," B.o.B explained. "Eventually he started playing Em more of my stuff and was keeping him updated on my progress and eventually he wanted to get in the studio with me, so that was a gift."

I don't know what the specific terms of the deal was but since B.o.B was an unknown artist at the time, Shady Music Publishing probably had a very favorable deal and made a killing.

Artists in general don't value their publishing until they see how much money they missed out on. Ex. G Herbo signed off his publishing for 15k when he was just starting out and had to get his contract right after he became more established.

I heard j electronica wrote munch

always felt like Hov wrote this

One of my fav P songs. Jay would’ve floated on here

p sure he was behind barbie world

Here’s why the CH relapse theory makes sense

Right after Relapse dropped in spring 09, CH debut album was supposed to drop in summer

But when Relapse underperformed, Charles was dropped soon after that

There were other controversies with Charles, but getting punched by his girlfriend and getting into some hot water with Detroit/Dilla heads never explained why a major label would just completely abandon an artist with a hit single after all the promo they put into him

The failure with Em would add more reason for the label to just lose all faith in his commercial viability and think he wasn’t worth the trouble

Also the rumor didn’t come from Charles himself originally, some supposed insider on the forums started saying it way back

Cyhi Prince wrote "Sicko Mode" for Travis Scott

Lloyd banks?

around the time The Box was huge, people around Thug had implied he’d ghostwritten some major hits that were charting, with The Box being the most obvious answer to which song

but another story i’ve heard is that Roddy was in the studio with Thug one night, and after he left, Roddy recorded The Box while inspired by Thug

so it could be either

what are the odds that this “insider” was CH himself lol

Pusha wrote pharrells verse

Drake had ghostwriters

God this is such a f***ing classic

It will never stop being a f***ing classic

"Killer with the beat, I know killers in the street
With the steel that'll make you feel like Chinchilla in the heat"

S*** is timeless man

Is funny that people just talk about him when it comes to getting verses but nobody wants to talk about him ghostwriting for others…
