Before Meek Mill and Drake, the world already knew about “ghostwriters” but it seemed nobody was talking about the subject. You know, “keeping it under the rug.” Most recently, controversy on ghostwriters and whether an artist can still be considered credible has stirred up music consumers.
Comedian Kevin Hart, for example, has come out to say that his team help him write his jokes after he was accused of having ghostwriters. Artists such as Kanye West, Puff and Rihanna have also been accused of stamping their names on material that wasn’t written by them. According to reports, ghostwriters have been common in the music industry since the 1970’s.
It’s fair to point out that ghostwriters know what they’re getting into. They do the work and get cut a check. Most ghostwriters are okay with the idea that they will get zero credit. So my question to you as the music consumer is: Do you care who’s writing your favorite artist’s songs?
Consider these points: Genre and lyrical content Would it be the same if an artist such as J.Cole or Kendrick, who talk about deep life issues, had ghostwriters compared to Rihanna? Are you a fan because of the way they perform a song or because of their written content?

Kanye West took advantage of the stage last night at 1 OAK Los Angeles, letting it be known that Amber Rose is a liar and “that b*tch ain’t neva stuck no fingers in my ass.”
He went on to add that Taylor Swift was okay with his line, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. I made that b*tch famous.” According to West, she liked it.
He also touched on the hype about his debt asking if that made him un-cool now. Not really.
According to reports, the rant lasted 20 minutes. Check out the compiled footage from fans in the crowd. What a show.

From “So Help Me God” to “Swish” to “Waves,” Kanye’s much anticipated album is scheduled to drop this Thursday and we still don’t know the official album name. The project will release during his Yeezy Season 3 debut taking place in Madison Square Garden.
There may be a new secret album title

As to why Kanye is so indecisive with a name is known but with this album’s inconsistency, it’s no surprise. The album has been pushed back numerous times not to mention the edits made on his hand-written track list.
Kanye reported that this album would be the “best album of all time,” but a few weeks later he clarified that statement by tweeting, “This new album is ONE of the greatest albums, not the greatest, just one of,”
Kanye west can name his child north west but finds it difficult to give a name to his album lol

Lets face it, we’ve all been waiting for Kanye West to drop SWISH, WAVES, or whatever the name of his upcoming studio album may be.
From receiving numerous teasers to bringing back “GOOD Friday” music (well sorta), and his great publicity stunt with Wiz Khalifa, we really hope Kanye’s next project is as good as he makes it seem.
this new album is ONE of the greatest albums not the greatest just one of …

So as we count down the days for Friday, February 12, we’ve gathered a few things we’d like to see on his WAVES album coming up. Take a look. – Lupe Looove
Collaborations With Rising Artists
While we’ve gotten our hands on the album’s track list, we’re still not sure who’s exactly featured on the project, other than Ty Dolla $ign and Kendrick Lamar. However, there’s no doubting that the Chi-Town rapper is no stranger to jaw-dropping collabs, so maybe a few new risings stars on Ye’s project would be dope to see.
More Songs About North West and now, Baby Saint
The life of Kanye West has gone over a massive transformation since he hit fatherhood and married Mrs. Kim K-West. The changes have inspired several of his previous songs, and they’re very close to the polar opposite of the Yeezus buzzsaw cuts. Tracks like “Only One” represent his new stage of life, and we would love to see more of that.
More Soul Samples
We’re fully aware that Ye’s College Dropout days are far behind him, but we think it was his early albums that contained some of the truly great soulful samples of his. Don’t you?
More Yeezus Production
Lets take you back to Kanye’s album Yeezus the production of that project was undeniable! Each beat felt sprawling and cinematic, and that’s exactly what we hope to have back again soon.
Show Us Why He’s Still The King of Chicago
Plain and simple, we need Mr. West to show us here, again, why he’s the best at what he does. Yes, he might do some buzzard things but, he’s a living bridge between the late 90s movement and the top of 2000s.

You couldn’t possibly think that Kanye would stay quiet after Amber’s #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch comment, did you?
It may have taken the Yeezy a while but he cleared out the issue with a set of tweets this morning and according to him… “he’s not into that.”
Exes can be mad but just know I never let them play with my ass… I don’t do that… I stay away from that area all together
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 29, 2016
I’m not into that kind of shit… I like pictures and videos Me and my wife got the kind of love that can turn exes into best friends
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 29, 2016
We still believe this is all too much personal business but hey, if Kanye can be friends with his ex, so can you.
One things for sure, Kanye and Amber sure did like them freaky things.

It looks like Kanye West’s highly anticipate album SWISH will be coming to us on February 12.
After announcing the release date a few weeks back, Mr. West took to Twitter on Sunday (January 24) to share the news that his project is officially finished, and even gave us a preview of a handwritten track list.
There’s not doubting that “No Parties In L.A.” and “Real Friends” definitely made the cut.
