Troy Jenkins I’m highly against ghost right but show me a eight year old they can write a whole songAnybody they grew up from that age with ghost 👻 writers Do you really expect more from them growing up
There is a science behind this people. You have song writers like The Dream, Ne-yo, and Eric Bellinger who also singers themselves. But they know for a fact if they record the song themselves, it's not gonna be as big. So they give it to another artist bigger than them, like how Ne-Yo wrote and recorded a reference demo of Irreplaceable for Beyonce. Not everybody has the looks, swag, and charisma to be a superstar. So even if somebody is writing for you, you still have to bring everything full circle to sell it. Bow had the look and everything. He can rap, that's how he got discover as a 6 year old kid, but he needed help writing music that was appropriate for this age group.
Well he admitted that some help was when he was grown and singing gets a pass on having writers cause not only is it a special talent to be able to have the vocal ability to sing, but since the beginning, it's been known that some talented song writers couldn't sing a lick. Rap has ALWAYS been the opposite. You don't need any special vocal ability so all that's left is your writing ability.
Someone please tell me how come he gets an L but cardi doesn't? She doesn't write her own! You people are some haters and will do anything just to clown him
Nobody expects female rappers to really write and spit their own material. Foxy, Kim, Nicki and others were all thought to have writers behind them. Brat, MC Lyte, Eve are exceptions
Who cares who wrote for who it happens all the time but we still like Bow Wow this interview is really good I think most people should be more honest and truthful then you get to know them a little bit better
Bro if you are a “Rapper” your main talent is having the ability to WRITE! Anybody can be taught delivery, persona, etc. A singer’s talent is their voice, which is something you are born with. Can’t teach what’s God given so I hate when “Rappers” let other ppl write for them. It defeats the purpose in my opinion.
*Ron Miller* Factsss! You definitely get it. That's why Hip Hop is so different from these other genres. It's more about the actual artist behind the art that they create, rather than just the art itself.
Bow was on point !!! Much respect for this, half the artist don’t write they got people that write for them !!! As a producer and engineer it’ depends on the artist and the project. Sometimes something written from one is better then the artist writing their own; different people got different styles so there are people that can bring a certain depth and meaning that you might not be able to. Doesn’t mean you a bad artist just mean that particular project requires more then what you had or needed!!!! And as a producer you get a feel for how songs should and suppose to sound !!! Just cause you an artist and know how to write a song don’t mean you know how to make a whole album !!!! People don’t realize the structure behind that process!!!!
Well, he wrote Basketball so he definitely had the abilities. But the fact that he had to fight for the right to write his own lyrics means it was out of his power as a 12 to 13 year old kid.
IDLE_INDIE yeah i was mind blown by that too...I ain't listen to bowwow too much other than the videos I seen on 106..but I wonder what songs he wrote for that nigga
I don’t respect when rappers get they lyrics from someone else but I do respect him being honest about it most rappers would straight up Lie so U got respect the mans honesty💯
@Yasmine M.P.R just because it's popular doesn't make it right that's why alot of people go to underground rappers the public is craving actual talent.. They just want to spread a certain agenda that's why they are required to all put out the same stuff. I also don't like when people compare it to singers having writers it's completely different only because rapping is about being creative with WORDS so if someone else writes a whole album for you what makes you so special for me to give my money to you... With singing the talent comes from the vocal chords not just the words.
Lavar Cole now these folks out here shock that Bow Wow didn't write the platinum and gold hit records he has perform on stage for years half of these rappers out today probably had someone write for them and gave them credit
Bow not lying it’s a lot of ppl in the rap game they don’t write there own.. that’s how the music industry is you gotta look a certain way and you gotta sound good on a track.. that’s y it’s a lot of ppl that was famous before is really not famous today.. u just got to stick with the generations
But Dre never claimed to be a rapper. He is a producer. He isn't hiding. Also R&B & other genres aren't particularly known for/expected to write their own shit to begin with. It's easy material, it isn't a raw representation of someone's soul the way rap is. These aren't comparable things.
Why do y’all keep comparing it to R&B. Their talent is their singing and how good they are at it. Rappers their talent is their pen and it always has been. It doesn’t matter if R&B singers don’t write but it does matter if a rapper doesn’t write
@@daniscottxo YOu right with that Miss Lela. Writing with your OWN pen is paramount if you claiming to be a rapper. How can folks not get that... right?
That's not true about R&B at all. You can't claim originality as an "artist/lyricist" as both. If you have someone composing/writing your songs for you. What makes an artist an artist? They are the "creator and originator" of that which is created. A big misconception/misunderstanding on this topic. If another artist drew up drafts for the paintings in the Sistine Chapel. How can Michelangelo be recognized as the artist just for painting it? No different from coloring in a coloring book. Being an artist in the music industry is no different. Whether you are a musician, singer/rapper or beat maker. If you have someone else creating those peices for you. Then you can't claim the title as an "artist." You are simply an entertainer and performer of plagiarized content. Copyright infringement at it's best. There's no difference between the two. Whether the individual artist specializes in rapping, singing or producing music. If it's not of their creation. Then it takes credibility from them as claiming to be an artist.
Dre never proclaimed to be a dope/god mc on the mic. No one cares if he didn't write the Chronic. He's been the studio musical genius behind the lyrics since before NWA. So of course Cube/Ren/DOC/EM/Snoop/50/Daz/Kurupt/etc wrote for him.
Everyone in the comments like ohhh he don’t write. Ya sound foolish. Since the art of music was formed ppl been writing for others. I might be a great poet writer but I might not have the voice to carry the message. Imagine JD singing the confessions album. 😒
ben_FLex_n Nah in hip hop you have to write your own rhymes because if you could just take bars then why not just get a random person off the street. It’s kinda disrespectful to the rappers that spend their time writing bars and still not getting their recognition.
Rap Stars been having Ghost Writers since The 80's.People have to Understand that This is nothing new.DJ Bob Cat use to Write for LL Cool J.But make no mistake about it.LL definitely Wrote alot of Material on His Albums.But alot of The Hit Song's and Concept's were written by Bob Cat.When it comes to Stardom! This sort of Thing happens all The Time.And because it does! It doesn't means that a particular Rapper in question does not have a Skill set.
It is crazy that someone can have an entire musical career basically doing karaoke (one of the only reason rap is respected or art is cause the person writes it then spits it). Like he said though, if you pay attention you can usually tell or figure out who got written for and who wrote it. Some people are good at masking it cause they'll switch up some lines to give it the personal touch it needs (ya know, the whole "co-writing" thing, lol). It's like someone having an entire book written for them and stamping their name on it as the author.
We know that snoop ain't write lyrics on some songs. That's my favorite rapper but I know the real and why do people act like snoop has a verse on still dre
To SavonLento, i agree w you 100% Im from the first school ( old skool) of if you a MC what come out of your mouth is suppose to be what you conceived/wrote. If you a singer it's cool to sing a song written by a song writer. If you a rapper - you rap your OWN lyrics. Now as far as the industry goes... making artists(s) - let's say the industry helps creates personas who deliver art that is created. But lets not act like if the end product sells it's irrelevant about authorship (as far as rap goes) doesnt matter. Its does matter. Check the history of rap - one of its most esteemed mantras is that "You never let a MC steal your rhyme" ie.... don't bite other peoples sh!t, ie don't spit nothing that is not uniquely YOUR OWN. That's like Step Curry hitting a deep three and the shot/points being credited to Draymond Green!!! That's ludicrous! That's like your girl getting pregnant by another dude. Yeah you can raise'm and they call fairly call you "Daddy", but in the words of Maury... "You ARE NOT THE FATHER!!!" Get it?
Rappers been ghost writing for other artists since the beginning...granted everyone should know they role and stay humble to those who do write they own but it's been done for the longest..
Ti helped him write like 3 songs. Jadakiss is credited for 3 songs he’s featured on in green light 5. And when he was 6-13 it was obvious JD and Brat wrote for him cause he was a kid
@@tonihogan9817 well what the hell does that mean. If it's something nice thank you if it's something mean shove it up your ass no it doesn't mean please and you already got my response to your response LOL
no it shouldnt. part of being a rapper is having dope lyrics which means you should have wrote it. singing is different. the singer is the talent, but may not know how to write lyrics. more people can sing then write a hit song for themselves...
First of all, if you’re an R&B singer, it’s different for someone to write your lyrics! Because your VOICE is the talent. When you’re a RAPPER, You’re just RHYMING! You should be able to do that
Dj B. Drumming it don't take long to go in the studio and and say lyrics that ate already written to a beat already made. I know you can sing a karaoke song quicker than writing an original song right?
You can't compare singers to rappers because it takes talent to sing whether you write it or not. Anyone can rap if someone write for you and practice it enough.
Not everyone can deliver or make someone else believe your words. And it wasn't that Bow Wow couldn't write, Bow Wow didn't know the business and JD was robbing him of potential publishing royalties.
Naaaahhhhh my g, there is a certain level of pride and respect that comes with writing your own raps. Hip hop is different from every other genre in the sense that it is competitive and about the skill of your pen (or brain). Beyoncé and other singers focus is based around vocal performance and range. This here a sport my g, and if you get caught taking steroids...✌🏾
He was talking about Snoop. Be what he didn’t seem to know is Snoop already admitted that in a interview years ago. He said he doesn’t have the time to write like that anymore. Snoop is an icon. A face of the culture. He’s global and waayyyy to busy yo be writing raps. I think it was the blue carpet treatment album when he said he had writers for that. Bow wow thought he was low key exposing some shit.
It's true, sometimes you just don't have time, other times it just might not be a style of rap you're familiar with but you might dig it and would want to see how you sound doing that style. The whole point though is to make good music.
The simple fact that he's trying to justify a ghostwriter well into his 30s is a ultimate L..... At 14 it made sense,but rap is a truly easy talent, if he ain't master rhymes while being in the game for 10 years he's a straight fraud.
Jamoi You should care. This will help in putting the pieces together for discovering past and present artists having ghost writers then, right now and in the future.
Exactly what Bow Wow is saying at this point I'm writing it some people can't sing but they can rape beautiful music or some people can't write music but they can have a beautiful voice who cares it's all entertainment
Ever one in this comment section... would use a gost writer for the right price... hears 50 million dollars. Spit these lyrics on tv and it is all yours .... all the hard core hip hop fans are gonna jump through the window with there gost writer LOL.
John Doe Jay is known in the studio for a having a very weak hook game. Also Young Chris co-wrote a few verses for Jay. There were others but this I've seen with my own eyes.
i didnt kno bout jadakiss but i been known bout brat, jd nd ti. i specifically remember da brat wrote sum stuff on beware of dog nd ti wrote on unleashed

no it shouldnt. part of being a rapper is having dope lyrics which means you should have wrote it. singing is different. the singer is the talent, but may not know how to write lyrics. more people can sing then write a hit song for themselves...
When you're a singer, your voice is the talent not the writing. When you're a rapper, your writing is the talent. That's why it is a major difference.

Dj B. Drumming it don't take long to go in the studio and and say lyrics that ate already written to a beat already made. I know you can sing a karaoke song quicker than writing an original song right?
Dj B. Drumming lmao mr wow
JD and Usher both wrote the Confessions album
Anyone who had Comcast and music choice knew this already
Yup!i remember those days
Hell yeah, the little notes at the bottom lol
I'm not surprised by what Bow wow has to say about some of the all time greats used ghost writers
Basically Bow wow was a idea not a rapper.
issa thought
Bow thanks for this message
You can't compare singers to rappers because it takes talent to sing whether you write it or not. Anyone can rap if someone write for you and practice it enough.
Theron Wright lol that's definitely not true not anyone can have flow and delivery i don't know how you could even think that
Been knew about t.i. But Jadakiss damnnnnn 😫
No wonder he ain't releasing singles
I’m not surprised he was a kid
He still a legend
How
😂🤦🏾♂️😂🤦🏾♂️😂🤦🏾♂️😂🤦🏾♂️😂🤦🏾♂️😂✨
I can hear Brat in him quite a bit. Def not a bad thing. Just makes sense is all ! Glad he kept it 💯 it's really not that Hard!
Bow Wow is a legend in the game ! Hate it or love it it is what it is ...
How U 🅰️✨ Legend But Don’t Write Yo Musik
🤨🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂✨
I wonder if he was talking about Snoop being the "Big Dog"? 🤔🤔
Who didn't know t.i wrote most of Bow Wow third album music choice on comcast been snitched
Did he write Let me hold you?
I respect him for being truthful
Not even gonna front, I bought my first LP at 7 years old and it was "Wanted".
The deliverance is the most
Not everyone can deliver or make someone else believe your words. And it wasn't that Bow Wow couldn't write, Bow Wow didn't know the business and JD was robbing him of potential publishing royalties.
All four of them are beast with those pens
Naaaahhhhh my g, there is a certain level of pride and respect that comes with writing your own raps. Hip hop is different from every other genre in the sense that it is competitive and about the skill of your pen (or brain). Beyoncé and other singers focus is based around vocal performance and range. This here a sport my g, and if you get caught taking steroids...✌🏾
Eyou 1000 Facts!!
Great on point comment => "...about the skill of your pen (or brain)" Well said Eyou 1000
He was talking about Snoop. Be what he didn’t seem to know is Snoop already admitted that in a interview years ago. He said he doesn’t have the time to write like that anymore. Snoop is an icon. A face of the culture. He’s global and waayyyy to busy yo be writing raps. I think it was the blue carpet treatment album when he said he had writers for that. Bow wow thought he was low key exposing some shit.
Jermaine wrote the whole confessions?...watt confessions, usher junt?
MARVO WILLIAMS yeah. I thought everyone knew that tho... Definitely did
He kept it real
Major L for them
That's some broke boy shit to say
B Boyd meanwhile you still living with your mom.
Flame Beats how does he get a L. The nigga was like 6
meezy this is old news
What 13 year old you know , can write a song
Bow wow has been through a lot...he like all of us is much flawed but he keeps it 💯
Lil Romeo never had ghost writers Lol......no limit.
holy shit this setup is whats up
Ghostwriting is wack. Period.
thank you majestik
ROC is from Rochester man hence R.O.C
Bow is a LEGEND.
Trill LK
*LEGENDARY TRASH .*
🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮
Legend..........Lmao!!
@@glocknineteen9190 😂😂😂😂
Facts. There are artists right now that can't do half of what he did as a child.
N E W E L V I S . W
It's true, sometimes you just don't have time, other times it just might not be a style of rap you're familiar with but you might dig it and would want to see how you sound doing that style. The whole point though is to make good music.
The simple fact that he's trying to justify a ghostwriter well into his 30s is a ultimate L.....
At 14 it made sense,but rap is a truly easy talent, if he ain't master rhymes while being in the game for 10 years he's a straight fraud.
JayMuggah88 well if that true most rappers taking L, alot ppl got shit written for them, its called colaborating
He is a big talented rapper people are so envious of Bow Wow always have been he started very young and that bothers people.
Some of us got a voice and other got creativity it’s all a package
Who cares tho
Jamoi on gawd
Jamoi You should care. This will help in putting the pieces together for discovering past and present artists having ghost writers then, right now and in the future.
Exactly
Kurupt a whole legend
Lol...he is really delusional about his rap career. Nobody ever thought of bow wow as spitting hot verses or bars.
Mike Honcho lol
@@tonihogan9817 Faxx
Who else thought it said TD Jakes was in the title LMFAO
How can you be a rapper that doesn't make their own lyrics?😪
He can be a rapper, but he can never be a lyricist
Chris Robinson Dude it’s singers out here that has songs written for them.
Exactly what Bow Wow is saying at this point I'm writing it some people can't sing but they can rape beautiful music or some people can't write music but they can have a beautiful voice who cares it's all entertainment
He a performer he just rappin the next nigga shit
Ever one in this comment section... would use a gost writer for the right price... hears 50 million dollars. Spit these lyrics on tv and it is all yours .... all the hard core hip hop fans are gonna jump through the window with there gost writer LOL.
Legendary Bow been in the Game since 2001
Was with death row in the 90's...
92 to be exact. Doggystyle circa
Fab wrote that basketball joint, why you lying bow? You can hear him all in those lyrics
Bizzy jones no he didn’t 😂. Fab wrote Fabs verse. Bow wow wrote his and JD wrote his . Like stop 😂
I respect this
bow wow talkin bout gucci lmaoo
Nah man, how could you pay someone to write these crap verses
It gotta be Wayne or Snoop
Raisin Bran I hope it’s not wayne
Pay attention he talking about jay z
John Doe Jay is known in the studio for a having a very weak hook game. Also Young Chris co-wrote a few verses for Jay. There were others but this I've seen with my own eyes.
Truth be told LL Cool J wrote Can You Rock it like This for Run DMC
Big dog = Snoop Dogg ???
So who is Good MC....He gotta be talking about Jay Z
cany't be talking about the God Rakim or Big daddy kane Jigga hell na
@@Diddddu God MC title goes to the R,A to the K,I,M. That's it that's all
Most kid rappers have ghostwriters, it's a pretty common practice.
Shad moss steady out here taking Ls. 🙀🙀🙀🙀
Nizzy's PlayHouse how he was 9 years old. If you for once thought he wrote his shit at 9 years old you playing yourself.
ThaRunna3D lol very valid point my friend
Nizzy's PlayHouse please listen to my music
Why y’all think he’s talking bout Hov? I’m almost positive he talmbout Snoop.
Def snoop!
Just gonna leave an "L" here
Bob Smith hater
He left out Short Dawg formerly of Young Money... Lil’ Wayne signed Short Dawg because Short was such a good rapper.
He talking about SNOOP
You can tell the way explained it... a Big Dogg
i didnt kno bout jadakiss but i been known bout brat, jd nd ti. i specifically remember da brat wrote sum stuff on beware of dog nd ti wrote on unleashed
