When I found out Jay-Z wrote the entirety of Still Dre... Down to the fukkin adlibs..
I just gave up.

That shyt don't even make sense.

It's a business.

i remember way back when nikkaz used to get on hot 97 and "freestyle".

I was like damn..... Yo how the fukk these nikkaz spitting like this off the top of the dome :gladbron:

Then 2 months later you'd here that same shyt on their albums :stopitslime:

That became "freestyling"... because industry nikkaz ain't trying to get on the radio and embarrass themselves trying to think of rhymes on the spot. fukkin up their careers and shyt.

It's just business


Off the dome and freestyle are technically two different things.

Cardi B having writing camps shouldn’t even be looked at scandalous. I personally know a couple artists that have gone to writing sessions for Pop stars. It’s pretty much an industry standard for Pop artists.
These ppl want to be put in the same lane and get the same accolades as non pop stars is the problem

has there been a Female MC that actually did everything herself? I'm sure there are (I'd assume Maybe Queen Lahtifa, Remi Ma, and MC Lyte?) im more so saying that the ratio is crazy how uncreative women are


Only female emcee we can trust that wrote her shyt is only:

Bahamadia
Ang 13

I have been told y'all female rappers have never had a cultural Renaissance. To the point that the entire industry.
had to walk it back from the Roxanne wars and its negative effects are still prevalent in all of music to this day.

No she hasn't, nobody has ever said that. Even Ransom apologized after insinuating that helped her with bars and Safaree definitely hasn't helped her

Ransom never insinuated that. Nicki jumped out the window because a bunch of idiots misinterpreted.

"Before Nicki was wearing those crazy wigs/
I was doing verses for her just hoping she'd made it big/
Told the nikka French that I got'em whenever needed/
Sent a couple freestyles to Clue when he got deleted/
I guess he looks at me as the reason he got mistreated/

... anyone thats not retarded can see that he meant doing music with her and not writing for her. He was giving her features of the strength because he was a bigger artist at the time.

This is far from peak ignorance Ransom that slapped the shyt out of Joe Budden man's on camera... BUT if he wrote for Nicki Minaj and wanted to let us know he would've cleary said "i was writing verses for her"

she said she was the only female in the room. so really its bunch of dudes like pardi coming up w/ these "p*ssy raps."

:jbhmm:
Women naturally aren't bold enough to say what gets said on these records. It makes sense for it to be how men wish women would talk.
Plenty of artists have had people write songs for them.

Artists that write their own material is the exception not the rule. How yall don't comprehend this is beyond me.

It only comes into question if

1. A rapper claims to write all of their material
2. A rapper is considered a top lyricist.

Diddy didn’t write none of his raps. But he never claimed to be an MC.

Biz Markie didn’t write his raps.

Treach wrote for Queen Latifah

I can go on and on. Singling out Cardi B who openly admitted she didn’t write her raps is dumb as hell.
Because in this genre that's false.

At the end of the day, it's bigger than just rapping on a beat..

Direction
Vibe
Inspiration

This goes for artists and producers

When nikkas like timbaland are "judging" beats and offering prizes, they are usually looking for a producer who they can "latch" on to and reinvent themselves

We all know timbaland can produce, but it gets tougher to keep reinventing yourself as you get older
