      Having a good pen and even decent delivery isn't enough for that industry level. The most important factor in that space is having a marketable image that pushes record sales and sells out venues. It's all a business hence an actor like Drake who's stayed outright jacking other people's work, their songs, and plagiarizing old bars and deliveries from older artists' songs when he's not simply using his committee to write and put together his records. He's been anointed by the industry powers that be to sell sanitized hip-hop to the masses.

    Actually, I don't care about ghostwriters, I just want good music. HOWEVER, don't ever claim to be the best rapper/mc if you do (Keyword: RAPPER/MC). Especially if you had help on your greatest hits.

      Yeah that's why Drake will never be the greatest. I got plenty of other reasons why I don't think he's the greatest, let alone good, but not writing your own stuff and trying to say your good is crazy. Especially when so many of the GOATS literally have had their best hits written for each other. It doesn't make sense Drake somehow hasn't.

      @OmoZed Месяц назад +1

      @pendrick okay. Let me clarify. When I said "greatest hits," I actually meant songs when they did their best rapping and not commercial hits.
      For instance, if Kendrick's Bad Blood feature was ghostwritten, I wouldn't care (or even "humble" or "alright"). But not "Duckworth" or "S.A.M.I.D.O.T."

    • @OmoZed
      @OmoZed Месяц назад

    So happy Quentin Miller is getting love. He goes crazy on those old Spillage Village mixtapes with JID + Earthgang.

    Nahhh, I feel less and less pity for Q Miller. He can’t read the room, if you work with someone and you’re paid for it, you need to hold your end of the stick. If they say clear it, it means clarify your statement from what the mass population is concluding.

    “Ghost” writer implies that they are hidden from the public and so they are not listed as writers with writing credits. If they’re listed as writers in the credits then they’re not ghost writers they’re just additional writers. People need to get that straight.

    Hip hop is about the lyrics and beat , it’s not about having a great voice and being a good performer like other genres , in genres like pop or rock it’s all about the performance, that’s why hip hop is the only genre that cares about ghost writing , hip hop has always been about talking about what’s on your mind and your experiences , so it’s disappointing when you find out a rapper’s music is not about his own experiences cause he didn’t live it , or even if they went through a situation alike , it’s not the same because the music didn’t come from him , anyways , hip hop cares about the artist , other genres care about performance. That’s why you don’t see rappers doing covers , like artists in other genres do

      Well no, that’s where you’re wrong. It may not be anymore, but once upon a time, all of those were factors. Delivery and standing out was very important. That’s how guys like Busta Rhymes became legendary. It’s so common now for everyone to use the same sounds and flows, but back then they would’ve gotten called out for biting/jacking. And I’m sure you’re aware of how big of a deal The Lox’s performance was compared to Dipset’s on Verzuz. People like Jay Z to this day take their performance, delivery, and stage presence very seriously as across the board (genres) artist development was a requirement. They don’t do that anymore, so all of these new artists that quickly rise to fame get thrown onto a stage or big interview platform with no prior training, and wind up looking and sounding ridiculous.

    I don't have a problem with rappers who don't write their own stuff, I mean Eazy E didn't write any of his songs, but I don't think there are many people who would say he's not a legend because of that. The problem is when you lie about it and take credit for other people's work, no one respects a thief. But I also believe there are way more ghostwriters in rap than any of us know.

    It just feels foul having Nas on this list. Listen to QM, and notice that he purposefully fails to elaborate on the nature of their collaboration. If there are writers in a session who produce and such, and they happen to suggest a line or a word replacement, is that ghostwriting? C'mon, this is Nas.

      Its a song, working with writers is normal. No one does anything alone when they have a studio and producers. Think about films just like albums its. A production. I.e. you have an idea for a song and you write a hook. One of the people in studio, will be like nah that shit dont sound good. Change this. This process can happen multiple times. To get that right sound. ​@martinwalters8677
