Lupe Fiasco Said Labels Push Ghostwriters; Entire Ghostwritten Songs

Lupe Fiasco said his label Atlantic Records tried to force him to use a ghostwriter.

The Chicago rhymer has been getting at Atlantic a lot lately, like when he said the label and music exec Lyor Cohen tried to force him into a 360 deal.

"Atlantic so filthy with the sh--, is that they would turn around and have a team of writers, a team of producers waiting for you," he explained. "So once you go through the meeting, they strip away all your esteem, they strip away all your own confidence and your own work. They send you right to the studio with the hot producer of the time with the creative team and the writers, and they got whole songs waiting on you. And for some n-----they got they raps waiting on you."

Would you let a label write your songs if it meant a hit record, tours and money?
