most of it i'm pretty sure is true, smitty was a huge ghostwriter before he got signed, same with ne-yo, the only reason this shit isn't common knowledge is because its swept under the rug so it doesn't damage artists credibility
skillz has ghostwrote alot of shit too, sauce money ghostwrote alot of shit for diddy and other artists(he even wrote diddy's tribute to biggie), gza ghostwrote some wu tang members shit, ice cube wrote for all of nwa, & del the funkee homosapian (ice cubes cousin) wrote some shit for cube
theres no 100% sure way of knowing who ghostwrote what besides if the artist names the ghostwriter or its listed in the credits, & since ghostwritings usually kept secret ghostwriters rarely receive credit(besides whatever they're paid)
it goes on more than you think it does, it usually occurs when talented young writers are trying to get in the game but aren't marketable or don't have a big enough fanbase to warrent a label to wanna sign them & put them out, but established artists already on that label are ready and willing to buy their songs if they think they're hits, it happens in every facet of mainstream business, cause its not what the product is, its whos selling it

Respect this, specialist, black, testing this and get ya necklace jacked
Your after name scratched up off my guestlist, party freak
You the type of nigga that'll hardly speak unless you spoken to
You throw a cold screw but sober up when I'm approaching you
At the same time we postin two niggaz on that ass
Thats gonna do what they supposed to do the limelight
Snatched away from you because its my night
Killarm' blaze hotter than twilight, you better get ya lines right
Half of these crabs cant even rhyme right

hm, i dunno.. i havn't looked for any proof saying it.. ppl talk.. rumors spread.. and decisions r made.. but i'm sure alot of those r accurate.. just not all of them..
how do u really find out who the fuck ghost wrote unless u tell them or there's plenty of witnesses.. or if the ghost writer themselves admitted to it... but really.. a ghost writer is a ghost writer becuz they're suppose to have a low profile while writing so nobody finds out... n its hard to believe wat people say unless their stories match up.. n chances of it being true they'd probably deny it to keep from looking bad
just sayin..
