Absolutely. I wish he would have gone with a process of elimination line of questioning when it came to the ghostwriting as in maybe who do you think does write all their own stuff or do you think so and so writes all their lyrics.
@@CSpad Son. We are 20 years into the new millennium right now. They are definitely part of the new millennium. I wasn’t calling them New Emcees. Peace
23 was old back then compared to now... by 19, I had a prison bid, a son, and mad life experience. These kids now got it good outside of places like Chicago where they still trapped in that mentality we grew up in. I'm 35 now. Growing up in the 90s was different. And worse for the generation before me.
Pac wrote from the soul, you didn't have to be a hard-core person to understand Pac. My parents passed when I was young and when hear Pain I think about my parents. That song spoke to me during my middle and high school years. Dear Mama was another song that takes me to a place man. Pac was our generation Marvin Gaye.
Pac was that dude. When I listen to his song they hit me hard. Brenda Got a baby made me feel sick to my stomach. Dear Mama always brings me to tears, Mr against the world makes me want to go against anybody. I love the fact that he is still relevant today 20 + years after his passing because he didn't write for his generation but for posterity
@@Shamgod777 That's your opinion. Cook's opinion is different and I bet he is more a lyricist than you are. For me it is how his music hit me. You don't like it, it's alright, I do and so do millions of people
WOW.. I just became even a bigger fan of Joell and Crook! We'll all be surprised if we found out what they've ghostwritten for others, and not just Hip-Hop 🔥🔥
I don't know if there's further to this convo, but it would be interesting to hear Crook's and Joell's feelings/thoughts on their writings after releasing it to whomever. How do they feel about some of their lyrics blowing up, perhaps even more so than things they haven't given away? What is the experience like coming into contact with artists and, perhaps, their claims of greatness or otherwise notoriety when these guys know they've taken from their pen to get said acclaim (if there is such a scenario)? Is there a crisis of identity associated with the notion that another's voice or face is the only thing making something a hit when it was their lyrics that hit? I'm curious, because, for one, I could not take another's writing as part of my own career, even if as a singer, but also, where's the line to be drawn for creatives and crafting, especially if we value experiences? Are we more superficial than we say (I think that's a given, really, but with music as well?)? Either way, I'd love to hear their perspectives.
I did notice joel singing on that last album and I enjoyed it. Crooked and Joel made my playlist so fast with that album. I was listening to that just last night. I got atleast 7 favorites from that and i enjoy the skits, but i also have favorite skits from that album that also made my playlist which i always listen to. 💥
I know my heart, but the Bible says, "The heart is deceitful above of all things and desperately wicked" and a deceitful heart cannot diagnose a deceitful heart...
Speaking of being young and conveying feelings we all can relate to ..."Can we talk...for a minute?" Props to talented Tevin Campbell forever. It's not always about the writing, but the conveying of the emotions.
Homie Skeme From Inglewood Dope Artist. Wrote “Fancy” - Iggy. Huge record Bigger than his catalog. But at the end of the Day he Wrote it. It’s a lot of things that come with Being a huge artist.
I go back and forth with the ghostwriting shit. If I heard today Hov didn't write any of the shit I grew up on then I think I would feel a certain type of way. But at the end of the day it wouldn't fuck with my appreciation of the music. I still remember being in my late teens when someone showed me Rhymefests verse on Jesus Walks and it was the saame verse word for word and that exposed Ye using ghostwriters but I didn't care at all. I think the art is the most important thing. I do think it takes certain niggas out of conversations in terms of who is the best Emcee, etc. I fuck with Drake and he can rap, but niggas penning that much of your records makes you a great artist, but I can't say you're one of the best emcees ever. Best artists/rappers? Sure.
I see what you're saying and the art is the most important thing but at the same time, it's not their art but they're not creating it. Imagine how many people have the art form but they just can't present the way a Drake or someone else can.
I'm pretty sure jay wrote all of his early records/albums, which in my eyes solidified him as one of the greats, but to your point, Jay been doing this for like thirty yrs, with all his business ventures in sure he got lazy with writing along the way, but to me like I said he already solidified his pen, so to me he's still in the conversation of "best MC's" he's not my favorite but I say that to say, if you are new with a ghostwriter you are Definitely not in the best mc convo.
Ortiz brought up Al Green and his singing experiences. Al Green remade and sung Old Tunes that was already out already in the in the 50s and the 60s. I don't think he went through nothing personally (love life) for him to sing those love songs like that. 85% of his catalog is old classic songs that somebody else sung before him. He just added his own spice to it. And then he did church songs that people did already. If anything he should have made a song about that woman pouring hot grits on him. That song would have probably been a super classic.
Hold up now.....if one of those mcs say was looking to come up and the other mc allowed one to write a verse for his new album while breaking off a check would that be cool.
It's all about marketing. Battle rappers are known for Battle rapping. So even if they make a mainstream hit, it may not be perceived as a hit apposed to a already mainstream artist making the same record. Drake
@@southsidesasso Because if they're already known and hot it's guaranteed to pop. While you're just hoping it pop 😆! That's a big difference. It's not a hit if you sing it, but it's definitely a hit if Drake sung it. See the difference
It’s a difference when you ghost write a hit and not just a song . Anybody can say or claim they wrote something but did the song make a impact or become an actual hit
Ghost writing could mean a lot of different things. From writing a couple bars to writing an entire song. Who knows what part of these songs these guys wrote for these different artists.
@@PardonMyPresence because not everyone is a great artist, have the right voice, etc. there is alot that goes into having a great song than just the words.
I wonder if they written for my top 5 1. Jada 2. Busta 3. Dmx 4. 2pac 5. I can never settle.... so I leave open (biggie, styles p, sheek, method man, redman, mase, ll cool j, first album Camron, and such) I think my picks are all writing their own and others
Not MY top 5! But I bet that list looks similar to 1. Drake 2. Lil Weasel 3. Meek 4. The Fat Ricky Ross 5. 50 (yep, Fif stopped writing after that second album.)

There is a writer named Desmond child. As an artist, he did the have a good career. As a writer for other artist, he became a millionaire. Very famous writer.
I can’t lie: I would definitely find it disappointing if certain dudes had ghostwriters. Especially the guys that proclaim to be or I believe to be the best.
Why whenever Pac pen get bought up, a Ny cat always gotta say “Biggie too?” Now Biggie was a beast but Pac is in a class of his own when it comes to capturing the emotions of the young black male.
From young people the one that stood up for me as a singer and lyrical ability is Billie Eilish. She and her brother are an exception to the rule of being young and not having to say something.
I find it funny with little comments like Nas never really lived project life in QB, he just witnessed it from his window. Everybody who came up with Nas co-signed him being in the street as a young dude. But when Jay said "you witnessed from your folks pad, then scribbled in your note pad..." dudes ran with it. Yes, Nas had a song called Project Windows, but that was a literal concept. Dudes be killing me with that like Nas wasn't on the block and he was just posted up in the widow seal all day smh
Glad to see Crooked I & Joell Ortiz on My Expert Opinion. Both put out solid albums and have always been lyrical. Nothing wrong with getting that ghostwriting money. A true lyricist doesn't have a ghostwriter though.
I remember wayne said: advanced my flow: and they must like dat: they like it so much they say they write dat. Barking at the dog 🐕 butt I don't bite back i ain't ( c.p.r ) I ain't their life back

I can’t lie: I would definitely find it disappointing if certain dudes had ghostwriters. Especially the guys that proclaim to be or I believe to be the best.

Why whenever Pac pen get bought up, a Ny cat always gotta say “Biggie too?” Now Biggie was a beast but Pac is in a class of his own when it comes to capturing the emotions of the young black male.
PAC is from NY just because he claimed LA he’s a NY nigga facts!
Facts, pac was a way better artist...
From young people the one that stood up for me as a singer and lyrical ability is Billie Eilish. She and her brother are an exception to the rule of being young and not having to say something.
I find it funny with little comments like Nas never really lived project life in QB, he just witnessed it from his window. Everybody who came up with Nas co-signed him being in the street as a young dude. But when Jay said "you witnessed from your folks pad, then scribbled in your note pad..." dudes ran with it. Yes, Nas had a song called Project Windows, but that was a literal concept. Dudes be killing me with that like Nas wasn't on the block and he was just posted up in the widow seal all day smh
KXNG Crooked is a 🐐
Glad to see Crooked I & Joell Ortiz on My Expert Opinion. Both put out solid albums and have always been lyrical. Nothing wrong with getting that ghostwriting money. A true lyricist doesn't have a ghostwriter though.
