Jul 27, 2015 Some ghost writers get credited and some don't. He clearly was writing for Drake as the reference track showed proof.
Jul 27, 2015 how we know drake didnt write it and he couldnt find a flow and ol boy was like "s--- i think i know how to flow on it, let me try something"
Jul 27, 2015 What? Lol. I don't think you understand what a ghost writer. A ghost writer is someone who writes for an artist behind the scenes without taking credit. Dre is known for having ghost writers, Timbaland, Diddy, etc. All rappers have song writers who assist them. Go look at any rap album & look at the writing credentials & you're going to see tons of names.
Jul 27, 2015 Giving someone a flow still ghostwritin bruh. And biting someones flow is still biting. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Jul 27, 2015 10 bandz reference track... Nuff said edit: we talkin bout ghostwriters tho... So I take that back
Jul 27, 2015 But people: 1: always knew they didnt write their s--- 2: they were always forgiven for being goat producers 3: they never claimed to be the best rappers of their gen S/o to Will Smith, Kim, Foxy Brown and a bunch of others
Jul 27, 2015 Smh yall don't know what ghost writing is..if Drake wrote it and asked the homie how to flow on it, Drake still wrote it, that's not ghost writing
Jul 27, 2015 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_You're_Reading_This_It's_Too_Late Go to "tracklist", look at 10 Bandz & look at the "writing credentials" column. Oh, what do you know? Miller's name is there. You can't be a ghost writer if you're credited, that doesn't make sense.
Jul 27, 2015 A "ghost writer" receiving writing credits wouldn't make him a "ghost writer" anymore. He'd just be another song writer. Literally all Hip-Hop artists use other people as song writers.
Jul 27, 2015 Look up any hip hop album & look at the writing credentials. Just do it, you're going to see numerous names listed. Welcome to the music industry.
Jul 27, 2015 From mtv interviewing a hip hop ghost writer MTV: Some writers receive writing credit, some do not. It’s assumed that being a ghostwriter means that you receive no traditional writing credit. Can you break that down? Aaron: You’re still a ghostwriter if you’re getting credit, the difference is if it’s public knowledge. When you look at album credits and track one has five or six names on it. The artist, you know his real name, that name may be first. The second name is the producer’s name, so that name is there. Let’s say there’s a Michael Jackson sample, so you might have Michael Jackson’s name there. You might have Quincy Jones’ name there, because he produced the original Michael Jackson record. So now you got so-and-so rapper, so-and-so producer, M. Jackson from the sample, Q. Jones from the sample and then there’s a fifth name and it becomes, “Who’s that fifth name?” And that’s when people start doing research and trying to figure out who’s this fifth name on this record. And that’s when you start getting to the bottom of things. You gotta really read the credits. There’s a lot of musicians on the record, you may have 10 names, it doesn’t mean 10 people wrote the rhymes. I say all that to say, you’re still a ghost if your name is in the credits… It’s still hidden, it’s still tucked away, that person isn’t doing interviews running around saying, “I wrote this and I wrote that.” http://www.mtv.com/news/2221917/hip-hop-ghostwriter-explains-how-it-works/
Jul 27, 2015 Stop saying ALL. Tell that to Styles P or Raekwon. Theyll slap the s--- outta ya. Again, depends on the artist, even then sometimes producers or the samplee is credited as a writer just because.
Jul 27, 2015 Why wouldn't Drake know how to flow on a record at this point? Especially asking someone who has never put an album out. That don't make sense
