Is this Iggy girl albino?

If rapper's don't write their own stuff, they're pretty much worthless to me.
One could make an exception for guys like Dre who heavily contributed to hip-hop with production for example.
But being a 'rapper' and not writing your own material is embarrassing.

^ Nicki Minaj said that

I have no respect for any musician that doesn't write their own material.

Well, you're not really a musician if you don't compose material.

James

Yeah I don't even know what to call it otherwise. 'Performers'.

Sparky

if your a pop artist you haven't written much of your own material. Nicki's quote is cringe worthy, more so on the BET award show. She refers to herself in the third person. Its such an obvious ploy and im already reading the fruits of it.

I dont care at all who writes the song. If it's good, it's good.

There are loads of rappers that use ghost writers. I don't even know why people care so much in this day and age. Some of their favorites don't even write their own ****.

When I first heard the story. I thought it was just the media again trying to create a beef out of something vague and the fans just eating it up like it is a fact.

She may be talking about her but I don't care until she actually calls out her name specifically then it is a non issue.

This is a great conversation. I think there was very little shade in her comment but she could have been directing it at anyone!

I think rappers take SO much credit for being the best in the game so when they don't write their own stuff it really is kind of weird.

And i mean some verses written by others, or even songs... that's one thing. But for most of your verses to be written by others, it's just a little off

I can still enjoy a manufactured song but we're talking about rappers here. Anybody can spit lyrics someone else has written for you, it's really not difficult. Singers can be excused as often it is more about how they sound than what they're saying but not really rappers.

Maybe it is more common than I realise, doesn't make it any less shit.

Ninetales

But how does someone not writing something take away from the actual sound? As a listener it shouldnt matter.
