Jay Electronica and stic.man from Dead Prez allegdelly were ghostwriters for Nas

I must admit, when I first heard this story, I brushed it off. But after seeing the interview with Big Boi, I'm a little disappointed. Globalgrind.com reports:

Hip-hop fans never dreamed there'd come a day that Nas and ghostwriters would be in the same sentence, but today, they are. 

Rappers I Know released a bomb-dropping blog, detailing a phone call they had with Roc Nation rapper Jay Electronica in 2007, who revealed that he was ghostwriting on Nas' controversial Untitled album, also known as the Nigger album. 

Many hip-hop fans thought it was complete B.S., until journalist and hip-hop fanatic Dream Hampton confirmed on her Twitter that Jay Electronica and stic.man of dead prez were both ghostwriters on Nas' Untitled.




As of last night, neither Nas nor Jay Electronica have acknowledged the ghostwriting allegations, but GlobalGrind knows one thing, Nas having a ghostwriter on Untitled is like finding out you were adopted and your whole life's been a lie.
