I woke up to some harrowing news today. According to the Internet, Nas -- one of the greatest MCs ever, the genius from QB, the ne plus ultra of rap lyricists -- has been using ghostwriters his whole career. Word is Jay Electronica ghostwrote all of Illmatic, stic.man (of dead prez) wrote Life Is Good in its entirety, while Wiz Khalifa and Afroman wrote everything in between. I read these allegations through tears. This can't be life. (Update: Jay Electronica and stic.man respond)
- Linkage: Nas Lost (Ghostwriters)

That’s like being a small child who learns there’s no Santa right before Christmas. Or seeing the Wizard exposed behind the curtain. Say it ain’t so. Well, at least Jay Electronica is a legit writer.
The link does not mention anything about Illmatic.
Renan, Henry’s being sarcastic.
