RUMOR: LL Cool J Hires Jay Z's Ghostwriter - MediaTakeOut.com™ 2008


RUMOR: LL COOL J HIRES JAY Z'S GHOSTWRITER
 







January 15, 2008. A few weeks ago the Queen Of All Media Wendy Williams reported that a Toronto man named Famous is claiming to have ghostwritten a number of tracks on Jay Z's latest album American Gangster. And now its looks like Famous is working on a new project.

MediaTakeOut.com is hearing whispers that the Canadian rapper is helping L.L. Cool J tighten up some of the rhymes on his new album Exit 13. A person close to Famous explains, "[Famous] worked on a few tracks and all of them are bangers ... Exit 13 is going to be L.L.'s best album yet."

    l Don't believe anything Wendy Williams say.l don't like her show or any of her antics. You need a better source.Jay-z has a Ghostwriter? if So his name is Christopher Wallace.LL where do l start ? Thats The reason Rap is so stale and stagnated is the fact that these old rappers Jay-z,LL the list goes on refuse to fade to black..let these young aspiring Emcees get they meal we can't have musical evolution if there isn't a musical revolution Just retire L..please...l can't take no more...Thats why we are in the ring tone era..and it seems like every song come with a dance.Ghostwriter that hurts...

    Im goin to have to DISagree w/u on that one. None of these young/new generation rappers are doing any good to the rape game, if anythin we need the old school rappers to stay/comeback to make some sense of the garbage they call music these days. Dang the younger rappers are killin music and I for one cant stand it anymore!!
     

    DCSMIDDLECHILD6803
    Jay never had a ghostwritter because he ghost wrote a number of his artist stuff. He don't write rhymes on paper. They are in his head.

    Stop it!

    get the fuuck out of here, Jay is his own ghostrider, damn these hating ass niiggas need to get another got damn job! scratch that, stay on it, because without you there wouldn't be a jay!

    sexy_ce for real though it's not the artist, it is the music labels, whateve them suits say rap about, they have to, it's some of them rappers they tried though, but bull crap sells, so it's not the artist, it is actually the stupid asssholes buying the music, remember we control what they put out, if more jill scott albums were brought than Ciara then there wouldn't be any Ciaras there would be more jill scotts, that is just my opinion

    Ain't the whole point of a ghostwriter that its supposed to be on the low, nobody knows that you wrote it. You get your money but no credit. That's the whole point. So ghost act like a ghost and disappear.

    OH MAN! Why jay-z can't have a ghostwriter? why is that soo hard to believe? He probably feel that the writer is good too and he wanted few of his songs, just like when they like someones beats... they buy it. Same thing. I don't put nothing past these celebrities.

    EVERYONE OF THOSE RAPPERS (THE REAL ONES) NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE HOOD THEY CAME FROM. THEY NEED TO LIVE IN THEIR MOMMAS HOUSE/APARTMENT AND SHARE A SMALL ROOM WITH THEIR SIBLING. THEY NEED TO LIVE WITHOUT MONEY OR A CAR FOR ONE YEAR. GET OUT THE BLACK AND WHITE COMPOSITION NOTEBOOKS AND GET HUNGRY AGAIN. THESE CATS HAVEN'T EXPRESSED AN OUNCE OF CREATIVITY IN DECADES. EVERYBODY GET RICH AND STOP BEING ARTISTS- ONLY CELEBRITIES. EVERYBODY GET MONEY AND THEN GET LAZY AND HIRE THE SAME PEOPLE THATS DOING EVERYONE SHYT. IT'S ALWAYS THE POPULAR FORMULA. EVERY MUSIC VIDEO LOOKS THE SAME, EVERY SONG SOUNDS THE SAMAE AND EVERYBODY RAPS ABOUT THE SAME THINGS. AND HYPE UP THEIR NEXT ALBUM BY SAYING SHYT LIKE "WE BRING SOMETHING NEW TO THE GAME" BLAH BLAH BLAH. EVEN ROCKSTARS KEEP IT REAL. SHYT...THEY BE WEARING THE SAME JEANS FROM 20 YEARS AGO- EVEN ON STAGE!

    Yo, LL has had a ghost writer for a minute. Anyone can get better after 20 something years in the game, but his whole style, and flow have changed. I'm not mad at LL on handing his project over to a ghost writer, it may help him out, out the game (EXIT 13, lol). I am surprised at Jigga who claims to be "the best rapper alive", for him to have a ghost wruter is not cool.

    MTO AND WENDY WILLIAMS ARE THE BIGGEST JOKES IN MEDIA. That's why she's getting run out of town and trying to get back on in Philly - ROTFLMAO!!!

    CAN'T SPEAK FOR LL, BUT:
    FAMOUS HIMSELF SAID ON ALL HIP HOP DOT COM THAT HE COPIES JAY'S SWAGGER AND STYLE, BUT HAS NEVER BEEN A GHOST WRITER OF HIS. HE SAID IT WOULD BE AN HONOR, BUT JAY DOESN'T NEED HIM AND HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

    STOP THE MADNESS - JAY GHOSTWRITES FOR OTHERS.

    WENDY HEARD ABOUT HIM AND BECAUSE JAY DOESN'T GIVE HER THE TIME OF DAY, START PUTTING IT OUT THERE THAT HE HAS A GHOST WRITER. NO WONDER SHE'S GETTING RUN OUT OF TOWN.

    STOP THE MADNESS MTO BEFORE YOU'RE IN PHILLY WITH WENDY - LMAO!!!

    LL was only 16, and anyone that listens to it can see if he had skills like that at young age, he definitely doesn't need a ghostwriter NOW.

    I love Lip Licker Cool James, but damn. Negro, you are definitely 40, if not in your 40's. Please find a wardrobe that is reflective of that. You are hot as a brush fire on a 100 degree day, but I'm sick of them damn Christian Audigier shirts and sparkly baseball caps that your stylist or your wife is buying you.

    There's a reason why people have rumors spread about them. Get off that Toucan Sam sh!t and dress like a grown ass man and not some 18-year-old boy who is confused about his sexuality. You're still fine as frog's hair though.

    Who give's a rat's A$$ if they ALL use ghost writers?

    THE FACT of the matter is that SOMEBODY had to write something slick and SOMEBODY had to spit it to a beat that SOMEBODY had to bite, make up, steal and/or produce.

    You people are so JUVENILE. Stop taking this ISH to heart.

    Bottom line is: IS IT HOT OR NOT!!!!!
     

    terika83
    I don't believe this...I've seen Famous' video and it doesn't look like "missing footage from the black album"...it looks like he went in a recording studio...sat in front of a computer, then went in the booth and tried to rap like jay-z"..if he's a ghostwriter, there is no need to impersonate jay when rhyming the lyrics....Jay may have a ghostwriter (which I don't believe), but Famous ain't it.

    Am I missing something here? Isn't the whole point you are called a ghost writer is you write something and get paid a little more than average under the agreement that you will claim no rights to to writing and you also agree to shut up and remain a ghost....HELLO!!! GHOST...you know...ah, forget it!
