Dr. Dre Ghostwritten.. Examples?

[dj_qquuiikk]

So after reading this forum for a long a$$ time, i decided to post for once..
anyways, i want some examples of hits that dre has come out with that he was for sure ghostwritten for..

[Don Seer]

an obvious one to kick it off..

Still DRE -> Jay Z.
Ghetto Fabualous -> Ras Kass.


btw. i want to point out. that regardless of the fact that he has other people creditted for writing lyrics if its not a guest spot he still comes up with the concepts. "i wanna say this, and this..." etc.. ya get me?

I think  a lot of songs on cronic 2001 were written by eminem. I find that espcialy the Watcher you can tell Eminem wrote it.

[dj_qquuiikk]

is there any proof of him getting written for.. i mean written on the cd's?
i dont have any of the sleeves anymore

I thought Jay Z wrote The Watcher. I am almost positive he did. Jay wrote still DRE. That has Jay's style written all over that. Check out Watcher 2 when Jay raps you could picture him rapping the 1st one.

[IzUwitIt]

i dont think there;s any proof except for the rare occasions when these artists are credited; but its still a fact Dre doesnt write most his own shit

Kurupt has written for him before, and I think Knoc and Bad Azz did too on 2001. Bad Azz has pictures in the 2001 insert sittin behind the boards with Dre, so my guess is he wrote a verse or 2 for that album.

Jay-Z was credited for Still D.R.E and Eminem for The Watcher... it doesn't say "Written by..." but they got their publishing on there...

[rik]

Dre's verse on "Put It On Me" was written by Knocturnal.

[Dubz]

forgot about dre gotta be eminem

[d-nice]

Bad Azz wrote parts of Just Dippin

[Machiavelli]

He doesnt use ghostwritters...

[sniperuk]

Bad Azz wrote parts of Just Dippin

bad azz kurupt and hittman are all credited for that song.


i think the most obvious verse dre has rapped being someone elses lyrics is his verse on here we go again.........soooooo easy to tell its games writing on that.

[notorious^q8I]

yea
dre 2001 was all written by hittman
except watcher - eminem
forgot about dre - eminem
the message - royce da 5'9, and it was produced by lord finnesse
still dre - jay-z
 and there is one more by em
and i think snoop wrote one of teh songs on 2001 that he was feature on
maybe fuck u or bitch niggaz dunno

knoc turnal did alotta post 2001 writing for dre
but in general, 2001 was basically written by hittman
i think lloyd banks hinted for a while that he ghost wrote for dre.. not sure
snoop and doc wrote the chronic
doc  and ren wrote for dre in the niggaz for life era
cube and dre wrote dre's stuff prior to niggaz 4 life album
and dre actually wrote for eazy on his first album, i think he wrote boyz or co-wrote boyz in da hood

[Don Seer]

He doesnt use ghostwritters...

yeah good point. technically you're right. because he's not hiding the fact.

various rappers over the years have claimed to write tracks for other people..

e.g. pacewon for the fugees..

[Larrabee]

I know that Ice Cube & D.O.C. wrote most of Dre's shit in the early Ruthless days...on "Efil4zaggin", D.O.C. wrote for Dre and sometimes Dre wrote his own material as well. Then during the Death Row era, it varied. Snoop handled "Deep Cover" and the majority of The Chronic album, with D.O.C. still writing for Dre.

J. Flexx co-wrote "Keep Their Heads Ringin", Ice Cube co-wrote "Natural Born Killaz", and I'm sure J. Flexx had some writing in Dre's verse for "California Love". I've heard of King T ghostwriting for Dre, as well as several unknown artists in the early Aftermath era. Here's a list of the writers for Dre's discography from '99 til now....
