Me myself & him
New member
I keep getting into an argument with a friend about the difference between writing lyrics for a singer and writing lyrics for a rapper.
She believes that there is no difference.
I believe that (as) proved in a previous thread, it's very different.
I believe that not everyone can sing, therefore only some can learn and blow out a song written by someone else.
On the other hand, almost everyone can rap, I could have kids I teach spittin venom. Charlie Baltimore was a created image before they even found a woman to squeeze into that dress. If some behind the scenes cat could write for her, so can Ja Rule, so can I, so can Jay Z.
Now, even though I liked her last album, Foxy's style changes so much I don't even know how many cats write for her.
So is it right that they don't just get someone who's already ill and make them a star?
I told my friend, I could write a rhyme for her and with a little coaching she would be spittin fire. She doesn't belive me, so I guess I'll have to just prove it to her and write one.
Even if you don't agree, I want to know what you think, .....especially if you don't agree. I need some insight, .... especially if I'm wrong about this, but it just doesn't seem right.
