Question About Dr. Dre & Ghost Writing...

[Trauma-san]

dre wright a lot off cronic snoop did a 2 songs i read somwhere abaut that

I always heard Snoop wrote 80% of the Chronic

[Snoopafly86]

Snoop and DOC wrote most Dre's verses RBX wrote let me ride and Kurupt and Rage wrote their own verses and I think Snoop wrote his own verses back then too before he completely gave and let his ghostwriters take over

[StevenQBosell]

+1 thanks for the info brother

[Serio_818]

just read the names inside the parenthesis in the credits of each song those are the writers, for either the lyrics or music. so some of them weren't really "ghost-writers" they clearly say snoop or rbx wrote the songs on the chronic.
