I'm with doomsday i'd like the whole blowing up scence but i'd rather
live a normal life where i can chill with my girl or family without getting run on
and just live it up with the money i'm making which i think has to be a large sum
to keep them silent. and impress people who are like so what do you do for a living
nice house, O, i'm a successful writer, LOOL

The person you are talking about is someone called a co-writer...not ghost.

Ghostwriters are not known by anyone......hence..."ghost"

and this topic states talks about ghostwriters...not co-writer.

The topic says that Rapper B writes songs while gettin NO CREDIT.None.zero.Nada.......you mixing them up now.


As quoted by Shannon Emanuel:

Quote:
Is ghostwriting legal?

Ghostwriting has been around a long time. Some of the most influential leaders have used others to write their speeches or even autobiographies. Ghostwriters do not hold any copyrights to the finished work. This is also known as a ‘work-for-hire’ arrangement.

Some individuals will list the ghostwriter in the credits or even indicate clearly that the written piece is “by So-and-So as told to So-and-So”. This gives credit to the talents of the writer while still giving prominence to the source or creator of the piece. However, this constitutes a very small number of instances and is not required for legal purposes unless agreed to in the contract


Ghosts aren't always uncredited man. And in entertainment law, for a ghosts paycheck to be on the books for expenses (which means to be accounted for legally for 'cost of doing business' expenses like tolls, meetings, etc) they have to be listed on the track. I'm sure there's some legal back door to it liek a consultation fee or some shit like that but I'd have to read more into the law on it.

yea ive seen the CDs before that list other people in the credit of songs, and i figured there was shit like this goin on....... but they way he described was alot worse than i pictured it...... like i saw an Eminem CD (Encore, suckiness) and saw that like half of the tracks had the same dude credited in them along with Em.... so that guy played a big enough role in the song to be mentioned....... there was like only one or two songs i saw on Ems CD i think that only had like him listed.... and i think they were Like Toy Soldiers and Mockingbird (or maybe it was Mosh) i might have the songs alil confused but its been months since i checked the CD cover shit........ but this is exactly why i listen to shit like Infinite and SS LP...... like i sed

I knew there were ghostwriters, but he named some of the dudes i considered legends in that and i would hate to be Rapper B on some occasions cuz ill have the feelin that if i go around sayin "Yea, i wrote One Mic" on the news or even in these forums or sum shit, their might be a casket in my future accordin to him..... or atleast no more money and im prolly gonna be "cock-blocked" from gettin another deal or bein another ghost somewhere else...... kinda like wen a good-really good football player starts wilin out and shit and pissin off the team so much that no other team wants to touch him either even if he is good

Well, I guess this kinda news will expose the real MC's and the rappers. The reason I write is to help the world and get my lyrics out there, if someone else has to rap them then I guess I can live with that. If you in it for the money, then you will quit if you are Rapper B.

Hasnt this been posted on RV before?

I saw it a while back. Its good shit.

But I guess to big shots music is just business... I wouldnt mind being underground. The pay isnt flashy like mainstream but it would be a lot more fun.
