However, the artist recently stated on Twitter that he stopped working with West "last month". Asked by a fan to start working with the rapper again, Rhymefest replied: "Nah his mind and spirit isn't right". He elaborated: "My brother needs help, in the form of counseling. Spiritual & mental.

Feb 13, 2016 Someone credited as a writer could get a credit for being a legitimate co-writer or pitching a few lines or just changing the wording on some stuff to make it sound better. Depends on the artist. Illmatic has 2-3 writers credited on every song.
Feb 13, 2016 They've seemed to have a rocky relationship since Fest ditched GOOD and went off with another label.
