I don't think you get much bigger then Dre and Eazy using ghostwriters. Ice Cube pretty much summed up his thoughts on ghostwriters on Spittin Pollaseeds:Fuck a ghost writerSittin in the back, of the studioTryin to write a nigga rapIt's the muppet show, most niggas need a&r(a&r)To tell them how to fuck a hoeIce Cube, true mc, write everything I say, even back in the dayImma spit it, how i feel it, fuck a gimmick You can keep your catchy lines, imma 'bout to write a rhyme If you got backpack, tryin act blackThink you know the culture, you'z a fuckin vultureYou never a approached the mic You dress like a dike, sayin what you don't likeWho deserves five mics, who deserves twoBut the nigga wit two still can serve youThis West Coast, flow is different in the EastBut in ain't no different in the streets

New interview up.... Problem Talks Music, Sex, Record Deals, Writing For Snoop Dogg & More!http://raptalk.net/website/content/view/470/54/Let’s talk about your writing. You recently wrote some of the songs on Snoop Dogg’s Ego Trippin’ album – two of the best one’s in my opinion in Press Play and Neva Hafta Wurry. Problem: Shouts out to Snoop because there are 30 million motherfuckers that could have wrote for him. For him to give me that opportunity was big, not only for me but for the Coast. For someone that everybody says doesn’t help out artists, I can name at least 6 motherfuckers that are young and got checks from that album. The whole experience changed me and the way that I do music. When Snoop got on Power 106 and said that I had something to do with the album- that sealed the deal for me. When you wrote the songs, did he sit down with you and direct it? Or was it all just you crafting it? Problem: A lot of it was Terrace Martin. He’s probably the biggest influence on me right here and right now as far as everything. He didn’t have to give me a chance to do anything. He used a lot of his chances on me. I could have really fumbled the ball and fucked him off of some shit. I pretty much followed his lead the whole time. So pretty much what he and Snoop told me to do, I followed that – as far as the melodies. A lot of those melodies, Terrace came up with. I just put words to them [Problem mimics the Neva Hafta Wurry words and flow] – that’s all him. A producer when he makes a beat, he knows what the fuck he wants it to sound like. That’s why he’s a producer instead of a nigga that makes beats. How was it writing Snoop’s life though? That was a deep song and you kind of had to get in to his mind for that one. Problem: I’m from the West Coast. If you can sit behind a microphone and interview yourself and say that you weren’t a Snoop Dogg fan at some point in your life – then you are a liar. Everybody knows what happened to Snoop from the beginning to now. It was big for me. It was like I was reporting. I caught some flak from it though. I was at a barbershop and a nigga got at me like, “Why are you getting at Suge in that song.” Ain’t nobody getting at Suge. Everybody knows what the fuck happened between them. Let’s be for real. We all know the situation. I just reported what I knew. What kind of reaction did Snoop give you for the song when he read what you wrote?Problem: I actually wasn’t there when he first heard it. Terrace was there though and he said that a nigga was like lifting weights. I actually got a chance to sit behind the boards for it though, just me, him and the engineer. It was one of the first songs for Ego Trippin’. It was such a special moment for me, like for this nigga to even care about what the fuck that I think. Did he change up some of your stuff? Or did he use everything that you wrote?Problem: Snoop took whatever I did and enhanced it. The vibe on that song is so crazy. I swear on this, I was fucking with a female when the song came on Music Choice – and that fucked everything up because I stopped what I was doing. I was like, “Damn! This is crazy.”
i really doubt that it's true; Dre already had Eminem as a co-writer for that track,so i don't see how he also would have used 2 ghostwriters
can anyone that owns the booklet of the War disc confirm this?
