One who writes the lyrics to a rap song and thensomeone else performs them. Often it is the better of the two rappers writing the song but not wanting the fame.
A 90's TV show that set the current meaning for "ghost writer" (person who write lyrics to songs but remains anonymous). It was based on a ghost who would "pick up" letters from places such as keyboards or street signs and re-arrange them to communicate with a bunch of teenagers to help them with their daily lives.
A GhostWriter is a person who writes lyrics or songs for other artists and rappers. This is what I do i am a Professional Ghostwriter my name is Lil Mac. Ghostwriters are a huge help to artists.
