Mad Skillz-Ghostwriter

[datibil]

i can tell u right now the only reason i came to this video is because i heard one of his new songs and he sounded like about 5 rappers. I automatically know he was a ghost writer, i wikepidead him and my initial suspicion was confirmed.

So many rappers owe this guy their careers, i now it and if u dont u dont know shit

[Kali2Ny2AtL]

i saw a video of some dude beefing w drake. dude said some nigga named “casino da ghost writer ” writes drakes shit. dont kno how tru that is but homie nice aint got million youtube views

[damisibailey1]

Respect to the DON of VA! Of all the MCs, Skillz bit the Big Apple and sauced it with VA luv. There will be others but you my friend did it first!

[lyricsfromsweden]

this is dope!! haha but i expected a song over the RJD2 beat called Ghostwriter :P

[Hallucigeniacouk]

If enough people on here are hating on Lil Wayne then why the fuck don't we take a stand and take hip-hop back? I used to love this shit (even if it was funded by the devil's spawn James Murdoch) but the stuff that has dominated in the last decade has made me hate what it has become.

[lupilou888]

Now i understand why so many wack hip hop killin retards. I aint heard his other shyt but this shyt was terrible. This wasnt even the shyt this was the fart cuz. Dude has no word play and it makes sense cuz 80% of mainstream rappers have no word play. omg this was horrible. if u write for as many people you say you do, u cud very well be the cause dead hip hop. i cud take this song and get ur message across way fresher for free. but i aint cuz yo voice reminds me of my biterphobia.

[guru3614]

I wonder which song Dogg bought?

[B0bbyB4nk5]

this guy is pretty average in terms of lyrics at least on this song, so i'm surprised he thinks he is worth anything

[Nostrade]

Nice! This man is like BIG L

[lolPantsProductions]

@Nostrade That's exactly what I was thinking aye! When I heard him I thought it sounded so much like Big L and his flow is nice like L's too!

[KantorekBaumerB14]

i remember when this was played on the ricky gervais show on xfm, good times

[skogoskar]

swedish verson aint bad lol /

watch?v=rnPIGU73IFA&NR=1

[jamiemoore1989]

[nobass1000]

[MikeMagician12]

sounds like big L

[killerF]

@MikeMagician12 youre a tool.

[BRBgottaskate]

we need skillz and technique to collab

[shady691]

@Imaaze2 you ment hipslop lol

[darrenthedc]

Im also convinced he talks about slick rick, I hate writing for (hit it) cause he takes to long, he ran off with christ, i hit his ass with 2 songs. The "hit it" cut is from slick rick himself, the "cause he takes to long" bit is refering to slick bein in jail for years and lastly "ran off with christ" is cause slick went all christian on everyone. Skills is the shit!i!i!!!!

[DDDjcRoW]

@darrenthedc dude he wasnt even born when slick was there ! he's talkin about bad boy ! Ma$e !

[lazyafternoon1]

lil gayne dont got the hip or hop or pop ... he is just PURE CRAP!

[muniee00]

[TheGraphxMaker]

@FizzyWodawg he was replying to someone else that mentioned him

[Povizle]

haha 8 people were Rappers who he wrote for

[NecKClippA]

stop mentioning lil wayne on real hiphop subjects. its like mentioning a big pile of poo on a beautiful sunset :)

[ilund244]

El kabong 'em Quickdraw haha VA!!!!

[shahryarization]

Is there a version where Skillz says the names of the people he ghostwrote to?

[iimok]

@shahryarization

[TRUEBLUE2053]

[TRUEBLUE2053]

GET THAT PAPER MAN THATS RIGHT MONEY TALKS BS WALKS

[rodalando]

[MAJESTYOFFICIAL]

@rodalando where did you hear that? i mean Wayne sucks so i wouldnt be suprised.

[DBowden23]

I want to here the names of these HANDICAPPED ARTIST who call themselfs LYRICAL.

[Tirasoudain]

@Imaaze2 nice to hear from some peoplle who actually know what they talking about

[mag3601]

@Imaaze2 soda pop!

[Fordo35]

@pbmful Nah, apparently the guy who allegedly went backstage and saw Cory Gunz with his 'ghost writing team' made the whole thing up.

Just another Hop Hop Rumor

[Stimulation]

Do you guys know that this dude wrote a shit load of raps for mad artists.He was going release names but the industry begged him not to...

[REMIXIT718]

he sound like big l

[unseenninjas]

@REMIXIT718 correction "big l" sounded like skillz

[asylvester99]

@unseenninjas

skillz couldnt hold big l's dead jockstrap

[Junito41]

@REMIXIT718 I always though they were the same person when they both came out until I saw that it was 2 different people.

[SUGAHMAMA420]

i just love his voice

[rensoedbt328]

he says in order from beggining to end fuck puff daddy mase will smith and jermaine dupri

[MGBell512]

[royvenema]

[AftensmadIF]

@royvenema well, thats the point about the song, check the last line:

"your favorite rappers' songs - i put the flames in it /

[OnlyForTheCash]

[TheChrisV420]

[k13370r1s]

Isnt this the same melody and text as Las Palmas?

[hutta021]

jo de är de, las palmas har översat den och gjort den bätre bara =)

[thecoastbadboy]

lmao @ you..

Your shit aint even that good. kinda funny really.

reminds me off how bad terrible rap was in the 80's and early 90's just a looped up drum break for the main rythum and his rap.

And ya bars is nothing but half ass stanzas with a simplistic rhyme scheme.

Fuck the shit that u SAYIN you moe GAY DEN CLAY AIKEN AWAITIN 8 GAY SATINS to RAP'EM.

Fuck your bars and the industry niggas bars, i never seen anyone as nice as me.

[SuperPekka]

I'm sure you're the biggest badass in the world.

[7rick8]

your so awesome, that clay aiken reference was an instant hip hop classic...you should be a ghostwriter for soulja boy, he can use all the help he can get. any rap superstar that uses clay aiken in his bars has got to be one fantastic emcee. especially ones who post great lines about gay satins. brilliant just fuckin brilliant. your cool.....hahahahaha nah i'm just playin, you really do suck though.

[beertron7]

lol you're fuckin weak bitch

[howhardgerrard]

[Kobe824Bryant]

Damn! So this dude's been contributing to the shitty rhymes since '96! Damn, now I know who to hate!

[eddie31003]

wow you're a fuckwit.

[soundsfromnothing]

Naw, You're just a stupid piece of shit that doesn't know real hip-hop. Check the epitaph asshole... Hip hop has been nothing but weak, four-bar shit since the start of '96. Of course, to fakes and band-wagon posers, it must seem great!

[eddie31003]

haterade?

[bigjonjep]

a little

[victorake]

[xLilSebx]

spökskrivare*

[JohnnyWarbux]

To this day - Nastiest diss track. Cause this joint right here - Places today's artist on blast. Either YOU write it or not. "You're favorite rapper's song? I put the flames in it / Y'all keep fuckin' around I'll put this back out with your names in it"

Best line since Mobb Deep's "Now take these words home and think 'em through / Or the next rhyme I write might be about you"

Disgusting.

[cgseven77]

That is a sick line, wish he would put the name sin it though.

[Pokerinf]

classic

[Furey10]

amazing tune skillz is a superb mc, love the jay z sample in this.

[qwandiddy]

I give Jay Z an A+ for all his 90s albums but an F for his latest Albums (2000s) except "Excuse me miss" I love that Joint.

Anyways, I love this Beat, so much better than Nowadays Hip POP crap with Lil Wayne

[teereed31]

do anyone have that little bit skillz flowed off on that timbaland and missy elliot beat i think he rap up 2001

[junkyarddog14]
