I truly believe if you're a mainstream rapper (meaning signed to a label and dropped an album on a major) there's a 95% chance someone helped you with a rhyme.

The more albums you put out on a major, the higher than percentage increases.

Til this day you can't convince me Styles P didn't write Jadakiss last verse on Show Discipline.

Or better yet


The standards we have for rappers were only really feasible for a small handful of people to begin with, you gotta have the talent, be marketable (good voice, charisma, fashion) and somehow always be tapped into youth culture regardless of how old you are....before a label contacts you, from the hood in-between you ducking bullets and moving bricks just think about how wild these standards are


Damn near every other genre is gonna have assistance from somewhere, rap media dug their heels into authenticity without any acknowledgement for how the rest of industry always was


The average person walking around isn't gonna be highly talented AND highly marketable AND from the trenches

Looking at it like that yea the actual rapping skill is probably the easiest thing for the label to find and pass around, least valuable asset for an artist's success.
