Cassidy Ways in On Ghostwriting in Hip Hop

Since Meek Mill exposed Drake for using ghostwriters for majority of his songs, including the verse he laced on R.I.C.O (a song on Meek;s latest album), rapping have been giving their opinion on the issue of a rapper using a ghostwriter. In his recent phone-in interview with DJ VLad, Cassidy gave his 2 cents on the issue.



"It's been plenty of rappers that I have liked they music my whole life before I knew them and then when I got a chance to meet them they wanted me to write for them. So I'm like 'Damn.' I'm writing for niggas that I look up to because I always thought they was crazy, but it wasn't really them that was crazy. It was them and a group of niggas, whoever they was working with at the time, that got them crazy or played a part in them getting crazy..."

Hmm! And it gets more interesting. "




I don't go and announce the rappers that I have written for. That's not to say that the people you just named but some type of big names, big people I done gave stuff to time and time again. I know other people that done gave them stuff. I done seen it. It's so many times that I done seen it and the majority of the music that comes out, it is a team of people working on it to make it happen so I wouldn't be shocked. I would be shocked if a dude spitted on his own 100% all by himself. Then I would be shocked because that's what's hard to find especially from a nigga that's lit."


Whoa! This is some heavy stuff. I would give a million bucks to know the 'big name' rappers he was referring to. Nas? Jadakiss? Busta Rhymes? Hmm! I can only guess until someone else exposes those people. But I am sure people would be extra careful with reference tracks and ghostwriter business right now...Thanks to Meek Mill and Funk Flex.
