    There is a Difference between writers and Ghostwriters.
    Writers are on the Credits Ghostwriters not

    shiiiet. didn't even realize that op posted jesus walks lyrics

    http://www.vibe.com/2015/10/kanye-west-allegedly-uses-ghostwriters-too/

    He knew more about the industry, and he made that song a success. So he should get the credit for that. But he wouldn’t have all that without my words…It was a personal song, but it was my words.”

    :lmaooo:

    I know he isn't technical and couldn't care less, but he always says truth "you see this broke n----- racism that's that don't touch anything in the store, you see this rich n----- racism that's that come in please buy more"
    And get me really emotional with some simple but exact lyrics like "you wasn't interested in me, you just tryna f--- my mom" or "oh you're joking, haha, that was a good one, your first good one in a while, your first good one in a while"

    I dunno I think he's excellent at taking complex ideas and putting them into simple lines that perfectly illustrates them, a thing he's really bad at at interviews.

    don't care if he's 'good' lyrically so long as his work is as sonically interesting to me as his last 3 albums
