Most obvious examples of ghostwriting

[Mike Wins]

Rick Ross was actually a ghostwriter.

Yeah I saw some call him an industry plant on here once. He was grinding for years ghostwriting for Trina for example trying to get on and only got the Hustlin beat because everyone else passed on it.

He always sounded like himself, he just refined his approach and made better creative decisions. But you listen to the second verse on Push It for example, that's vintage Ross bars right there on the debut album

I think that was Kurupt. Lol

they both did writing on the album

Kurupt actually wrote “Do You See”

Journey through the life nikka!

If you can't quote that verse line for line way before a rap genius nikka you can't sit at my table!

Press Play has to be the worst offender if obvious ghostwriting. Diddy sounded like he was doing a dub over the references.

I think about ghostwriting when people think rappers just automatically get better at rapping from their first album to their second. Like Rick Ross. I won’t say he don’t write st all, but I’m pretty sure he got a bunch of help over the years.. especially from Wale and Meek and them.

Ross was writing for other people, how you think he got on

A+ verse

I see a lot of Jay Z mentions. Genuinely shocked by that actually.

 

[ball15life]

I've always thought this one was criminally blatant

 

[McPiff]

i think he was credited but damn diddy didnt even try to switch the flow lol

 

[DA_LURKA]

No one would know Jay Z wrote that if they didn’t tell us

To be fair is kinda obvious once you know...
