If this was Ice Cube or Xzibit or even Game they would not get no pass, but why does Snoop? Co writing is one thing, but he blatantly said people wrote songs for him even on Ego Trippin. Nothing really was said about it.

Not to say I don't enjoy they songs, I just think man Cube wrote Eazy a killer verse or Eminem wrote Dre some heat for this album. I will give credit to the writer. ghostwriting is what it is, but I always wondered why Snoop is exempt from any flack for that.
You can ask the same about Dr. Dre. At least Snoop writes some of his raps. Dre doesn't even create his own beats anymore, let alone write rhymes.

With Dre I get the whole work with me and get the props, you write me a 16 and get famous deal with that.
It seems like Ego Trippin' was an experimental experience. In one of his interviews, I remember him mentioning Diana Ross and how soul & r&b people rely on ghostwriters and that he was sort of in a position in his own career where he was able to get away with having ghostwriters. At least that's how he justified it anyway.Here's another thought to add to the your own question D. Does having ghostwriters mean you're not considered an MC but a Rapper? The ol' MC vs. Rapper debate applies to this scenario as well, perhaps?
