    No one writes their lyrics 100% by themselves no matter if they’re a Kanye or a Kendrick or a Pac or biggie or a Hov

    Nah this isn’t true

    “I had the chance to do that just to get some bread in my pocket.” Del maintains that his cousin loved writing, rapping, and the creative spirit. “Cube didn’t need me to write no raps for him, and Yo-Yo didn’t need me to write no raps for her.”

    Google any rapper and ghostwriter and something will come up

    You can’t just make exceptions for the rappers you like

    Bro there are plenty of rappers i could google with no ghostwriting allegations

    I just did Lupe fiasco and nobody accused him of him having a ghostwriter

    Im not saying its not common but saying literally every single rapper of all time used ghostwriters is not true lmao, im not even trying to make exceptions for anyone specific just saying u shouldnt generalize so heavily

    He definitely wrote like 99 percent of his music but it's common for rappers in groups to sometimes write music for each other. Pretty sure this happened in wutang multiple times and it definitely happened with the geto boyz

    and it's not a big deal at all imo

    "I don't think it ever mattered in record making," Cube said when asked about the importance of self-penned lyrics in hip-hop, "I don't think people care what it takes for you to make a good record, just make sure it's good." Also comparing the process to building a house, Cube added that you do get "extra points" in his book if you write your own rhymes.

    this is actually spot on

    Weird but Cube did write a lot of great raps himself regardless

  • Every single rapper has had help at one point. This is such a dead discussion

    Don’t think it matters. It also takes image and delivery.

    I don't believe those Jay and Pac rumors, and Kendrick never had a writer he's against that s***. I don't think BIG had one either.

    And they only say that cuz they're cousins and their voices are similar sometimes.

    The truth is their favs had ghostwriters so they try to act like ghostwriting is so tempting no one can resist it or it's impossible to be a successful rapper without it.
