When a rapper has someone write their lyrics for them, but they take the credit and record them.
If it weren't for a ghost writer, Foxy Brown and Lil' Kim would never even be taken seriously.

One who writes the lyrics to a rap song and then someone 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.
Ghost writer just took the letters F,K,C,U,O, and Y! I wonder what he's trying to say!

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. I actuly write for som1cant mention who that is signed by Universal Records and Warner Brothers Productions. Also Kanye West who is a huge hit uses a ghostwriter. me i charge $75.00 per song but most ghostwriters charge around $500.00-$1000.00!!! But people who have the money do it and somtimes its ok. Not all singers/artists are good at writing lyrics. thats where ghostwriters like me come in. If u wanna be an artist u can be Email and ill help u out with the lyrics! I also have connections with people you wouldnt beleive. so if u have what it takes im here for ya!
