Ghost-writing is a form of secretly writing hit lyrics to a song for a specific musical artists, giving away certain lyrics for an undisclosed amount of contractual money. It has been said that Gillie Da Kidd ghost-wrote most of Lil Wayne’s current and past music catalog, since Weezy F. Baby’s album ‘The Carter’. It is apparent that after Gillie Da Kidd received checks for writing lyrics for Cash Money artists, especially Wayne, that Wayne’s whole musical style changed. Although it is said that Lil Wayne is ranked by the MTV Network as the Hottest Rapper in Hip-Hop today, Gillie Da Kidd did write most of Wayne’s past music catalog. This being Wayne’s album ‘The Carter’ until Weezy’s last album, ‘The Carter 2’. Within those few odd years Gillie did teach Wayne true lyricism, it is very hard to believe that Lil Wayne became a better lyricist than Gillie or Jay-Z for that matter in such a short period of time. Some industry insiders are saying that Weezy F. Baby does have a a second ghost-writer which replaced Gillie privately. Gillie Da Kidd was escorted out of Cash Money Records, because Lil Wayne and Baby the #1 Stunner knew Gillie would tell the multimedia masses the truth. That Gillie himself wrote mostly all of Wayne’s verses except for most song hooks, bridges, and choruses. Gillie Da Kidd rapped while standing beside The Clipse on MTV’s video-mix show, Sucker Free with such a fierce flow and delivery, it is rarely hard to believe Lil Wayne is actually better than Gillie Da Kidd a.k.a Gillie the Ghostwriter.
Whoever the new ghost-writer Wayne and Baby are paying must not want to be a real hip-hop artist, so both Baby and Wayne were sort of smart to hire a more quiet ghost-writer who did not want proper credit for the writer’s own material. Some ghost-writers who might have written Wayne’s new album ‘The Carter 3’, besides his various other mix-tapes in which Gillie once helped Wayne do, might be: Canibus, Sacario, Mad Skillz, or even MySpace Hip-Hop Phenomena ‘Grafh’. There are other former underground rappers that might have also helped Lil Wayne’s ‘The Carter 3’ become one of the most talked about albums in hip-hop. Perhaps, Pharoahe Monch (who ghost-wrote for Diddy), Ill-Bill, or even Immortal Technique might be helping Lil Wayne’s new-found lyrical depth for his new album, ‘The Carter 3’. There are hundreds of dope lyricists in underground hip-hop that have if not better then almost better lyrics than Jay-Z on a metaphorical level. Wayne had to know this to make a swipe at Jay-Z for a lyrical and ultimate showdown with Hova or Jay-Hova (Jay-Z) to reach hip-hop’s elite. Wayne was never that good of a lyricist, but was always a decent lyricist that was widely known as a commercial rapper.
After Lil Wayne and Baby were found kissing each other tongue by tongue in a public-frenzied photograph, courtesy of Gillie Da Kidd, it’s no wonder Wayne’s street credibility is being seriously attacked verbally in the youngest hip-hop circles everywhere around the world. One specific Streets’ insider or informant, who would like to be left nameless, recently told me that Lil Wayne a.k.a. Weezy F. Baby is taking credit from all his ghostwriting buddies. He told me that Lil Wayne is actually trying to set up a battle between him and Jay-Z in hopes that he, Lil Wayne, would win that battle with all his hired help! In laymen terms, this would secretly help Weezy Fraud become the newest best lyricist alive title from Jay-Z. Wayne only had to trick Jay-Z into rapping a wack battle verse over Nas’s ‘Ether’ song against Jay-Z with his own lyrics without the aid of all his or one of his ghost-writers help, only to get help from them later on, which would explain the wackiness in Wayne’s battle verse over the ‘Ether’ hip-hop beat. Maybe Lil Wayne gave a pep speech to all these under-paid and under-achieving, lyrical, underground heavyweights, outlining them a plan for better financial assistance, via a favor for a favor, giving them money for lyrics to make his next album, ‘The Carter 3’ and one or two Jay-Z battle rap disses. Gillie Da Kidd has since been supported by G-Unit South Records and Young Buck to bring lyrical warfare to both Baby and Lil Wayne if needed. Only time will tell how long Lil Wayne will use ghost-writers or if Lil Wayne can really rap that nicely by himself.
