Kanye's (bland) lyrics ghostwritten?

Postby stillmatic » May 5th, '11, 09:43

Watch Consequence on RapFix.

He reveals that he (and others) have ghostwritten for Kanye in all of his albums.

Just some of the things he said.

“It is true I participated on writing lyrics. Every album [Kanye's] had, I’ve been involved creatively…I’ve taken a mentor role on helping him deliver… Check the credits, I get royalty checks.
I helped out on “Champion” and never got credit…that was my brain thoughts.”

Ffs.

is there a big mainstream rapper who doesn't have a ghostwriter/someone who helps him to write his lyrics?

Like it or not, You are just as bad as the Eminem stans, if not worse.

I don't think I have ever seen you say anything negative about the guy.

He may come across as a Kanye stan but he doesn't force his opinion over you. Although I think Kanye is overrated like I said in a previous thread Kanye is not giving a bad image to mainstream hip hop and that is why I have respect for him. He gives other artists a foundation to follow.

I was thinking about making a similar thread the other day when I was looking through the booklet of the Late Registration album and didn't really see Kanye West credited as a songwriter anywhere. Embarrasing.

Also, I found it quite suspicious that he could go from rapping something as good as the verses of Power to something as embarrasing as Runaway on the same album.

Agree. It's not like he has to say anything bad about him, he just needs to stop defending him 24/7.

Yeah man, nothing like a post on an internet forum to 100% form your opinion for you!



...fucking idiot. In case ya'll didn't know (I'm not talking to stillmatic, he didn't treat this like a certified fact) Con just bitterly split from GOOD Music. Do you think it's remotely possible that, being pissed and all, he might say something a teensy bit not true to make Kanye look bad? I'm not sitting here and saying "Oh leave sweet baby Jesus Kanye alone, he's an angel, of course he writes everything" of course not. All I'm saying is don't jump to conclusions. Q-Tip said Con was lying on his twitter:

Are you trolling or stupid? Because he's pissed at GOOD Music, that's why. He said he held together ATCQ too. Why WOULDN'T he lie?

i was actually trolling with my first post here,i love kanye.

i just try to ignore the fact that you take the internet too heart,and you cant respond to any members post without desperately insulting them.

@Miller1121

you cant really trust a random rapper that got dropped from kanye's label,i dont listen to kanye cuz of his lyrics anyway,its about the music.

No, I frequently respond without insulting people. YOUR posts are the ones I insult. No one knows you were trolling, because half of the things you write don't make sense so we kinda have to assume you mean the stupidest thing possible. And typically, that's true. And I believe YOU are the one who flipped out a few days ago arguing with me... :whistle:
