10 Hip-Hop Songs You Probably Didn't Know Were Written by Another Rapper

preview

Every now and again, the hip-hop community becomes divided over the 10 Rap Commandments with the unspoken law of thou shall not evoke ghostwriters at the center of the debate. The genre, founded at the intersection where honesty meets skill, featured pioneers paving the way for rising MCs by telling street tales in their own words.
But as much as hip-hop fans like to credit their favorite rapper's favorite rapper for spitting hardcore lyrics they can relate to, the truth is many rhymers have at one time or another relied on the penmanship of peers or their occasional competitors. Last month, Meek Mill claimed Drake "don't write his own raps" and named his alleged ghostwriter Quentin Miller, who wrote various songs on his chart-topping album, If You're Reading This It's Too Late.
Let's be clear, ghostwriting in hip-hop is nothing new. However, some fans thrive on authenticity and take pride in supporting rappers who write their own rhymes. Then there are other hip-hop heads who could care less about who writes their favorite rapper's rhymes as long as the delivery is hot. Just when you thought Drake was the only big-name in hip-hop accused of relying on the next man's pen game, check out 10 Hip-Hop Songs You Probably Didn't Know Were Written by Another Rapper.
