The Role of Ghostwriting in Hip Hop - A Necessary Evil or Unacceptable Practice?

n recent years, the use of ghostwriters in the rap industry has been a topic of heated debate. For some, the essence of rap lies in the artist's personal experiences and emotions, and therefore, writing one's lyrics is seen as an integral part of being a rapper. Ghostwriting, to them, is seen as an inauthentic practice.

On the other hand, others see rap as a form of entertainment, similar to film or theatre, where performance and delivery matter more than authorship. In this light, ghostwriting is simply another aspect of the production process.

Where do you stand on this issue? Is ghostwriting an unacceptable practice in hip hop, or is it a necessary part of the industry?

I hate to say it but it's sadly a necessary evil, it would be great if everyone who goes into creating songs had the ability to do it on their own from start to finish. That however is not realistic, we need collaboration and thankfully putting two hands on a paper might be better than one.
