Ghostwritin' for people?

[AliJack]

Well? I wouldn't ghostwrite unless i was desparate for cash, unless its just fuckin around, i wrote this joke diss for my friend the other day, and this sprung to mind. I think an artist, who's actually planning on making something of himself, should write his own lyrics. Discuss.

If you call yourself an emcee, then you need to write your own shit. But if it pays well, heck.. I'll ghostwrite. Most people who have ghostwriters don't call them selves emcee's anyway, so I'm no hypocrite, I need money.

imo the world is full of too many wannabe rappers lol. like 99% of this website.

The whole music industry is like that, lol.

^ i don't mind if they admit they'll never make it, but ppl hu get mad at realistic ppl like me are just idiots lol.

True, but hope is never a bad thing. Aslong as you keep an eye on reality, yes.

Hope is what keeps humans alive.

I am just wondering, why do you mean that?
Like, why do you say "no one on this site will make it, mark my words" and shit like that?
Just wondering.

[TiBon]

^once again...your showing you live very comfortably.....do you know why some people keep that fantasy of making it?.....becuz their actual reality is so dam shitty and hopeless that a lil hope helps them get through day to day.....i'm not saying that its my hopes becuz i know i'll never make it big...nor do i ever want to......but for you to criticize other ppl's hopes only fuels them more and shows that you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth

Just wondering.

because it's true. saying they will make it is only giving them false hope. it's tough love, i'm sorry.

Why is it true?

[SajN]

because no one on here is good enough. simple as that.

Lol.

I did ghost write for a dude who was from Tanzania. he was totally a performer always wanting to put himself out there. He rapped in Xhosa but i would ghost write some english lyrics for him. The lyrics i gave him made ppl laugh hard... picture these bars of gold


I'm a racist hater/ a sperm donator
I'm coming soon rather than coming later <- *lol*
I swear to god he actually rapped those lyrics to a crowd mixed with his first language raps

and how is that a bad thing?

i'm not going to apologise for my dad working his arse off at University and getting excellent grades. my dad worked fucking hard for his money and in result of that, he is now pretty well off, he started out at the bottom, and is now a joint boss of a company. and i happened to have been born into that family, i can't help that can i .. ? so i shouldn't get dissed for of it.

i was 'born with a silver spoon in my mouth' for a fucking reason, that reason being that my family fucking worked for it.

people should stop 'hoping' to make it in rap, and focus on getting good grades, getting into a good University/College and then getting a respectable job, and end up like my dad. he is my inspiration in life, and rightly so. this is why i take my education seriously.

education comes first, if you wanna rap, then rap, but do it in your free time.

not everyone can be like eminem.

^first off it wasn't a diss...if i could be born into that i'd easily trade it so calm your pistons sparky

but leading to my point....some people don't have the money or motivation to go through 8 years of school.....for example.....i was going to be a doctor....and got about 2 years into it and could honestly say that after 8 years of non stop schooling plus the fact that its a job that takes over your life......i didn't think i could go through with it all nor did i want it bad enough where i'd sacrifice my already near empty life to follow through....so i switched options.....

my point is...its cool if you don't think noone's going to make it..i've seen you say it about 8 times now......but the fact that you...some1 who's already got it made...could sit here and SHIT on other ppl's hopes and dreams who have it less fortunate then you....says alot abotu the type of person you are...cuz i'm all about "keeping it real" and being "realistic".....but theres a fine line between "being realistic" and being a "rich snob"......i'll let you decide which you are............
