But bitching about your terms of service as a ghostwriter is not a good idea. "Most artists are not going to want to make it known that they didn't write [their lyrics]," Spencer says. Breaking this trust can have disastrous consequences; in 1998, Dr. Dre and Eminem severed their ties with Royce da 5'9'' after Royce's manager revealed that he had ghostwritten a few of Dre's songs for 2001. Royce's ghostwriting also bring to light another ethical question: Should rappers hire writers for songs that are inherently personal to the artist? Royce wrote the bulk of Dr. Dre's "The Message," which dealt with the murder of Dre's brother, and Sauce Money wrote much of "I'll Be Missing You," a tribute to Puff Daddy's late friend Notorious B.I.G. (That song, incidentally, sold over three million copies; Sauce Money received $1,000 for his efforts.) The rappers interviewed do not seem particularly troubled by these events. "Diddy was a part of ["I'll Be Missing You"], but of course he'll bring in top-notch writers to make it perfect," Smitty says. Jurassic 5's Akil says that the ends usually justify the means: "If you deliver it, and the point comes across, and I feel that emotion, then the job was done."

So if Gillie writes for Wayne, and Wayne writes for Dre, does that mean that Gillie is ghostwriting Detox? :confused:

I know Gillie and Wayne supposedly severed ties, but you get what I am saying.

yeah when they publicly declare they writing for someone it's not ghostwriting anymore. i don't what the term for it is for when they announce it maybe just songwriter would be more appropriate.

foo's seem to forget that snoop & the doc wrote the chronic

IMO Dre is an executive producer, he's great at orchestrating songs when using other peoples talent

D.O.C. could write for Dre but that aint gonna do nothin for Dre's wack ass flow & weak delivery.

And after hearing that wack ass hook on Duffle Bag Boy I wouldn't have Wayne write shit for me.

Shit, has Dre ever written a rhyme by himself? Ice Cube penned for him in NWA. Don't believe me, check "Express Yourself"

"Even if Yella
Makes it a-capella
I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or a sess.
Cause its known to give a brother brain damage.
And brain damage on the mic don't manage
Nuthin'
But makin' a sucker and you equal.
Don't be another sequel..."

This coming from someone who's only solo albums are named the Chronic, and another one being released hopefully sometime before Jesus returns, the Detox.

Truth is, half of these major industry cats don't write any of their own shit.
