Dre use ghost writers but he writes a lot of his verses himself, esp. in the past & there's nothing wrong with it 'cuz rappers with iconic status like Snoop, LL & many more use ghost writers as well. You don't need to be a lyricist to be a rapper, esp. if you're a producer/rapper. That is the reason why those rappers are never considered as the best, no matter their legacy but it doesn't mean they can't get a Grammy award.
Of course it's Dre's song, it doesn't even matter who does the verses, he owns the song. He bought the beat and asked EM to drop two verses & maybe to write his own too. That's absolutely normal, again esp. for a producer/rapper.
This faggot DJ Khaled is nominated for 'I'm on one' in the same category as 'INAD' & most likely will win it & he's not even on HIS song as Drake, Ross & Wayne do all the rapping, but it is HIS song 'cuz it's on HIS album. Let alone DJ's like Tony Touch, Funk Flex, Kay Slay, Clue, Khaled etc. drop full lenght albums without a single verse of their own but that does not mean it's not their album.
This is elementary stuff even for people with basic knowledge... let alone Grammys count for both artists anyway so if 'INAD' won it, EM will have it too.
On top of it the subject matter on the song is all about Dre... & Eminem says it himself in it that Dre is the reason for him to even be there.
The only weird thing is Dre almost bought the millionth Jimmy/Interscope fuck up & was gonna use another producer's beat on his own album only 'cuz of commercial purpose... & that's naturaly a paradox & the reason why later on Dre decided to drop 'INAD' from the album, so if it won a Grammy award it'd be as a non album song.
Off topic... Jimmy is a piece of shit & the reason some of his artists sell is their own charisma, not Interscope's idiotic planning & marketing & the latest proof of it is Yela's album. The big bang Shady 2.0 started off with 40k first week sales while wack Mac Miller did 150k indipendently the week before.
