Some of those sounded fake as hell. Ante Up is blatantly a DR Period production cause it sounds nothing like Just Blaze at all, and it wouldn't make any sense cause Just Blaze was known before that track came out. Also I think Denaun Porter was actually credited with P.I.M.P anyway.

Yah, I don't know much about that one, just stating what I heard from more than one source. Any additions? I can't think of any right now...

supposedly J-Flexx did some ghost writing/production (cant remember which) for dre back in the chronic days...if you listen to his song from the Too Gangsta For Radio album it talks about it on there.

Your list is fucked up, but might as well add "Dogg Food," because at least half of that album was produced by Dre...And "Doggystyle" had a few cuts produced by Warren G/Daz...Every verse Dre has ever flowed was written by somone else, so you should have a lot more Dre on there...E-White ghostwrote for "Return Of The Regulator"...Don't forget Bad Azz wrote for "Tha Doggfather"...Man, I can go on forever, the list will never end...PeACe

a few more obvious ones:

Foxy Brown (Ill Na Na) - Get Me Home, If I..., Ill Na Na (ft Method Man), I'll Be, Foxy's Bells - all written by Jay-Z

i also heard somewhere that Cam'ron wrote Crush On You from Lil' Kims album Hardcore, and Lox wrote Money for Charli Baltimore

as for producers, i think alchemist did some ghost work for DJ Muggs

You know there's a difference between writing for an artist and ghost-writing for an artist.  E. White didn't ghostwrite for Warren G, because he was credited, he just wrote for him.  Nobody ghostwrites for Dr. Dre, they just write for him.

v. ghost·wrote, (-rt) ghost·writ·ten, (-rtn) ghost·writ·ing, ghost·writes
v. intr.

    To work as a ghostwriter.

v. tr.

    To write (a speech, for example) as a ghostwriter.

ghostwrite

v : write for someone else; "How many books have you ghostwritten so far?"


--------------------------

Doesn't say anything about getting credited or not..
IMO, you're a writer if you write your own shit, and a ghostwriter when you write for someone else..

Hip Hop fucks up all these terms.  Just like the word producer.  There's a difference between a producer and a beat maker.
