Ghostwriting

When people complain about the state of lyrics in rap music today and even ask me why I think it has been so long since more mature, socially relevant, and conscious lyrics were common place, along with the usual industry and radio politics 101 I run down, I have a standard statement, גNot enough ghost-writing in the game.ג

And when I say ghostwriting I donגt mean just bringing in a talented kid off the block who can be exploited every time you are too weeded out or lazy to write rhymes on your own, like you should.

No, what I mean by the statement, גNot enough ghost-writing in the game,ג is not that rappers should no longer write their own rhymes, but rather, more of them need to open up the creative process of song-writing to input from others ג whether fellow artists, educators, or marketing advisers - which would allow their minds to expand, and with it, their lyrical content and audience.

You can interpret this a different way. Especially in crews and groups, I think that as a community there were individuals that acted as a sounding board for lyrics. Especially when the "group" used to encompass the emcee/dj dynamic. Not saying that Nas needed someone to help him write "memory lane" but I'm sure he got feedback and input from people around him, in regards to his form.
