Milk D never wrote for Lyte. He was her producer, have you ? ever heard Milk D rap?
Lol he's horrible. -
The misconceptions have started already, ghostwriting topics always lead people astray. Its damn near impossible to know who wrote for who. There's very few admitted instances.

Lol he's horrible.
read the credits....MILK D produced and wrote for Lyte
He's wack but made a HIP HOP classic "Top Billin" -

back in the gap if you would read the insert on the tapes....the writing credit was always listed....First thing I would do after buying cassette tape is open up and read who wrote the rhymes and who made the beat// -

Top billin is ONE SONG. Name another song on that album lol
Anyway producers get writing credit, always have. Unless you want to believe Justin Smith (Just Blaze) wrote Jay-Z lyrics the two are different. -

Dre doesn't write rhymes and his ghostwriters usually openly say they were writing for him with no ? given. Kendrick penning his verse is more than believable. -
Royce da 5'9 wrote for diddy
-
Mad Skillz wrote daum near everything on Bad Boy Records lol
-
Ive written for a couple ? yall never heard of

You just further proved his point. Do you really know what a ghostwriter is?
Reading sample credits means nothing. You can get writing credit for 1 single line. Do you know who's credited for writing "All I Need" by Method Man? Ashford & Simpson & not ? , just based on the fact that he sampled them. Writing credits means nada. -
Badazz - ?
Rakim- summertime
Max b- we fly high
Tragedy- war report -

K. Did say he wrote something's on Detox. Maybe "Compton" was done during one of those sessions.

Forgot Jay wrote 'Still Dre', also I think Royce wrote 'The Message'???

If they get the writing credit for actually writing the raps then that's not ghostwriting. ghostwriting receives no credit and just gets paid a one time payment.

santana wrote rick ross verse on that freemason song
pharrel wrote teddy riley verse on rumpshaker
mase pretty much wrote all of diddy verses on no way out album -
