    Every rapper should write 100% of their verses

    Period

    Hooks is fine , a lot of times producers come w the hook already

    Ehh if you go claim to be the best rapper, you have to write all your lyrics. You can’t say you the best and you’re getting help with your rhymes. It just doesn’t work like that.

    The only major rapper left that we never heard of having a writer is Jay - Z. But even then, there was some rumours of Lupe Fiasco writing on the Black Album, so who knows

    we counting features though?

    a lot of times, collaborators will be like “this is how i imagine the feature verse, you can add your own spin to it, but please keep it mostly the same”

    Getting help isnt the same as having a verse written for you

    All 4 of them have said they never have had verses written for them

    I mean yeah denying it it's the smart thing to do. Quentin miller didn't shut up about it and he is still dealing with a lot of bullshit

    Yeah but just because it doen't sound like it, it doesn't mean he didn't write it. A lot of times when rappers write for others, they are writing with the other guy in mind already. If it was never revealed, i would've never guessed Jay Z wrote Still Dre, it doesn't sound like him.

    I think all the mainstream rappers that are in the top and want stay in the top are working or will work with writers.

    tbh still dre sounds like jay in delivery and flow idk dr dre has that thing of projecting the guy who’s writing for him cadences and s***. you right but at the same time it didn’t feel any different or off. it felt like an amalgamation of jay career at that point

    I think it was 2 journalists who said that Jay and dead prez were writing on the N word album

    yeah it was dream hampton (who is a jay z stan) that started the rumor and stic man immediately denied it

    Lupe said that rumor was false too

    At an earlier time he said he “gave jay joints” for black album though so, I think he’s just denying it now to be politically correct

    He probably didn’t write that much for jay but he had to have given him some kind of ideas
