I also think it's a good way for an artist to stay in the game. Say jay-z aint sellin anymore for whatever reason but he can still come up with concepts and shit and he got with the next hot young dude the rookie would be stupid not to have a sit down and talk it out. Cat's need to open up to change or different ways or get left behind.
Defy, heres my grown folks assessment.
As much as people on here hate on Country, Rock and Roll, etc...back in the day and even still somewhat now country and rock artists can play...like for real. They got mad musical and songwriting talent.
Country songs have been more than a few pop and R&B hits.
The difference between now and then is that back in the day you had to have SERIOUS musical talent to make it in the business. A few exceptions exist (Cobain, Bob Dylan, all Disco), but back then musical talent and ability was a given. It wasnt a question. It was just something you HAD to have before you even got successful.
Nowadays people got pro tools and sampled beats...shit in some cases musicality is seen as negative. This contributes heavily to the much bullshit, no talent rap scene of today.

ok, so if I were to create all my beats originally, using just a drum machine, guitar, bass, & a triton keyboard, and came up with some brilliant writtens with nice ass punchlines, clean patterns, good wordplay and catchy hooks. but when I bust I don't like how my voice sounds.....but my boy who has a deep voice could recite that shit perfcetly, would that not be some musical shit or what? I mean, you may not hold the rapper in that high regard as a tupac or something, but if the shit comes out clean what does it matter?
is it going to make a difference when you find out the rapper you like doesn't write all his material by himself?
