it is accepted alot in pop music that songs are not written by the singer but in hip hop it doesn't fly somehow...as far as rappers who have used writers there there are many that are allegedOff the top of my headKurupt for DazCrooked I for KuruptNas for Will SmithGza,Rza for ODBCassidy for EveJayz for Foxy Biggie for Lil Kimeven Nas was rumored to have Jay Electronica rhymes on his last album
Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Puff Daddy, I would give a pass to it because they aren't rappers. Will Smith too. People like Snoop or Cube or Nas would be a little harder but Snoop freely admits not writing much anymore on his latest albums.
Kurupt for Soopafly
I'd be so disappointed in Nas if that Jay Elec shit is true.
Quote from: bouli77 on April 20, 2014, 07:46:13 AMKurupt for SoopaflyI doubt that's true. Where did you get that from?Snoop has used ghostwriters for a long time. For example, Snoop didn't write his verse on "Lay Low", Xzibit did that. He didn't get credited on the booklet though. Snoop has written for other artists in the past too though, "Niggaz Don't Give A Fuck" from the "Poetic Justice" OST was originally his song, but he gave it to Daz and Kurupt.
Pretty sure Nas wrote most of Foxy Brown's verses
