ghostwriting is a wierd thing to me.......for the person ghostwriting hey if you are good and you can make a little cash writing for someone i wouldn't think you were a sellout you are just making money........but really what self-respecting emcee should ever need a ghostwriter........in hip hop your lyrics are what seperates you from the pack...........it's not like you're in a band and play guitar.................your words ARE your skill.............so if you use a ghostwriter then you are basically a poser...............a wackcee who is just pretending..............beats are different because you can't really spit every song without a good beat and making beats is not something just anyone can do...........if you can spit then you don't neccesarily have to be good at making beats.................but if you can't spit can't make beats..........then basically you just all around suck................1
