He wants the money, you can have the fame

@newchips Exactly

No. ghost production is when a less known producer will create a beat for a big-name producer but the big-name producer will get ALL the credit. For instance, if Scott Storch (before his OWN fame) was making a series of beats for Dre and Timbaland but the two latter producers would be getting the credit (because they don't have time to produce EVERYTHING, but Storch works for them... like a really talented apprentice). I think what Waajeed is implying is that, for him, those jobs pay the bills.

The track is "i got you"...instrumental from the triple P album. Tiombes on the original. dope.

[TheRealManzilla]

Anyone know tunes that he ghost produced?

Ghostwriters and ghostproducers are inherently DOPE...Those that hire them are not.

[TheEccentric01]

But to the masses Waajeed is a less known producer

[AraBlak]

That's a lame ideology. One isn't be less/more valuable than the next. and if one chooses to sell the licensing and rights to music/lyrics created to represent someone else's style, then what's the problem? If it ain't my style, I don't want the credit. Just pay me and move on.

Ghost producing is a disgrace to the game.I understand ghostwriting,cuz you might have lyrics but just not be appealin to fans.But beats are different...

[Rayphard]
