Ghostwriters who did what?

[KURUPTION-81]

jacked thread from the forum at www.hitemup.com

From Don Divas Magazine a couple of days ago. This is taken word for word from the magazine.

1. Nas wrote Will Smiths international hit Jiggy Wit It and he was so confident with either his writing abilities or Wills marketing machine that he did it for NO MONEY up-front, but instead opted for publishing-Were sure Nas continues to get jiggy wit dem checks.

2. Camron is a sneaky ghost He wrote the Lil Kim and Lil Cease hit single crush On You for the Junior Mafia back in the early 90s. Then Cam resurrected his ghost in the 21st Century when he wrote (at least) the rap portion of the teen pop trio 3LW Promises. "Killa Cam" also wrote some material on Mase's debut album. That just goes to show you, just cause you dont see them it doesnt mean that they arent there.

3. Its rumored that Redman does beats and has other people broker them while he collects anonymously. We aint madd atcha Reggie. Dont just rattle your chains, getcha change.

4. It was producers Scott Storch & Mel Man whose sound we heard on Xzibits and Dres mutli platinum hit, Still Dre from the Chronic 2001 album. The duo of Storch & Mel Man put it down even now for an innumerable amount of Dre Beats

5. DJ Muggs, who had Alchemist behind him, is responsible for the entire Cypress Hill catalog, in addition to House Of Pains hit single Jump Around

6. B.I.G., Mase, and Jadakiss wrote Puffs entire first album. Kiss wrote Victory Bemjamins, and Senorita. Mase wrote Been Around The World Mo Money, Mo Problems, and Cant Nobody Hold Us Down

7. Producer Hank Shock Lee along with Epitome (known for his work with Public Enemy) get the title of SLEEPING GHOSTS. They gave BUSTA the hit, Put Ya Hands Where My Eyes Can See. Yes the TITLE is sick long but so were the PROFITS especially at its $ 5,000 price tag. WHOO HA: I got ya royalty check.

8. Teddy Riley had Bink Dawg and Pharell Williams (yes from the Neptunes) ghosted (thats right GHOSTED) Teddys verse for RUMPSHAKESHAKER.

9 Jodecis Devante is what we call a possessing ghost because he went so far as to give his people their names. He named Missy MISDEMEANOR, and he turned Tim into TIMBALAND and he gave GINUWINE; his monacher. In addition to giving the 3 most successful Rap/R&B cats out of VA their names he also gave them their images and access to the industry with all the perks, like helicopter rides from the mansion to the studio. Its said that Devante; helped Tim develop his signature sound. But some say that in fact Devante; got his multi platinum sound from Timbaland and that he kept Tim in the cut while he blew up off of Tims skill. Whos the actual ghost ? We may never really know.

10. Big Daddy Kane wrote VAPORS, SOMETHING FOR THE RADIO, and CHILLIN WITH BIZ, for Biz Markie.

11.Royce Da 5'9" helped write "Bitch Niggas" and "Big Ego's" on Dr.Dre's multi Platinum hit 2001.

12. I know yall remember Young MC of Bust A Move fame. You know he probably made a few dollars off of that joint but what you may not know is he made his real paper from FUNKY COLD MEDINA and WILD THING, he wrote both those hits for Tone Loc.

13.Ashanti along with fellow Murder Inc label mate Ja Rule wrote a few songs for Jennifer Lopez including the smash hit "Ain't it Funny" which was written by Ashanti while Ja wrote the whole "Im Real" track.

jay z ghostwrote Still d.r.e.
there are so many ghostwriters
haha theres that one Skillz song, where he talks about all the people that he ghostwrote for.

[Twentytwofifty]

Some of those are wrong, obviously right and just stupid.

-I'm fairly sure Royce only wrote "The Message" on 2001.

-Mel-Man produced "Still D.R.E.", well no shit, he was credited, and I don't know where they heard a version with Xzibit.

-DJ Muggs produced for Cypress Hill?    

-and Nas writting "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" is highly unlikely, I've never heard that.

[KURUPTION-81]

i had heard the nas one b4, not sure whrether im gonna believe it though.

[The Watcher]

ive heard the Nas one plenty of times before

[We Fly High]

i thought it was pretty obvious that dj muggs was behind all of cypress hill's catalog.

[PLANT]

Well I know E White writes for Snoop and Warren sometimes, and Lloyd Banks writes for people but he wouldnt name them.  

[Darksider]

mmmhh interesting......but there are probably a lot more....

[teecee]

Never heard that Nas wrote Gettin Jiggy with it, but i know he DID WRITE Miami Life(welcome to miami) or whatever

No secret..

4. It was producers Scott Storch & Mel Man whose sound we heard on Xzibits and Dres mutli platinum hit, Still Dre from the Chronic 2001 album. The duo of Storch & Mel Man put it down even now for an innumerable amount of Dre Beats

No secret that Scott Storch did the keys, and Dr.Dre & Mel Man produced the whole album.

5. DJ Muggs, who had Alchemist behind him, is responsible for the entire Cypress Hill catalog, in addition to House Of Pains hit single Jump Around

You don't say.  

13.Ashanti along with fellow Murder Inc label mate Ja Rule wrote a few songs for Jennifer Lopez including the smash hit "Ain't it Funny" which was written by Ashanti while Ja wrote the whole "Im Real" track.

  Ja Rule is a genius.. this is sensational..  

[smerlus]

I already knew a few facts of them and some like the one about Muggs weren't really unexpected. But the quoted one about Missy Elliott/Timbaland is very interesting, I never heard about that. Thanks for the list
