Ebro: "Kanye ghost-produced 'It's All About the Benjamins'"

[Easy-E]

If I remember correctly, for Lauryn, she was getting credit as writing and producing the entire album herself. With all of the praise it recieved, the real producers came forward like "hold up."

But I don't doubt Lauryn's pen game, so I do believe that she wrote most, if not the entire album. As for producing, ehhhh. But to say she can't produce is insane; she plays instruments so she can at least churn out some melodies to sing/rap over

Do you people that don't purchase physical, do you miss reading liner notes or don't care?

I don't think they care but they have never had the experience. Some people on here brag about never buying a cd or not buying one since 2002 and shyt.

Young Guru has spoken a million times on how he was there to see Angelettie make that beat, back when he was engineering for Bad Boy.

Radio is really trying their best to cheapen Hip Hop with all the baseless gossip. It's mad corny. Cats'll just make all kinds of shyt up now just to get something going.

People's timeline is way off. KanYe was still in Chicago during the time Benji's was made. He was mentored by No ID first then he started messing with JD that's why he had beats on "Live in 1492" and "Harlem World". Around 98-99 was when D.Dot took him under his wing and was letting Ye produce but he was giving him "Co-Producing" credit, Ye's beef was he wanted full credit so the "Ghost-producing" thing is overblown. "Poppa was a Playa" was Kanye for sure that was the main beat he was pissed about. I laugh cause fans till this day don't know Ye was working with NaS long before he even met Jay Z.

A lot of Ye's eariler Beats D.Dot got the main credit but again he was giving Ye "Co-Producer" credit like "Just you and I" by Mademen or "Rebuliding" by Goodie Mob. But LOL @ Ye being anywhere near the Hitmen during the Bad Boy Biggie Days. Also KanYe wishes he had a bassline that good as D.Dot cause his baselines weren't hitting like that. Ye owes a lot to D.Dot. D Dot let Ye produce 7 songs on "The Mad Rapper" album including a song with a Young Eminem before people even knew who KanYe was. This is sitll one of my Fav D Dot/Ye tracks:




Here's his Harlem World Track:




Here's Ye's Eminem beat before he blew up:

Stir crazy was my shyt
