Despite the recent hype surrounding the Drake debate, ghostwriting is not a new phenomenon in Hip Hop. In a recent episode of “Doggie Diamonds No Filter” podcast, Peedi Crakk says that he believed Beanie Sigel got some help writing his Jadakiss diss track back in the day.
“Oschino and [Young] Chris had wrote that with him, too,” the State Property member says.
He also alluded to the notion that Beans had a roundtable of busy pens as he was preparing his contributions to the famed, DJ Envy-hosted Empire Strikes Back mixtape.
“They all wrote it together,” Peedi Crakk, who used to go by Peedi Peedi, continues. “Ask Oschino, he knows better than me. No, they did write that shit. They did, I remember. The wrote it together all of ’em.”
The 2001 diss track included some famous wordplay with Jadakiss’s name and Sunkist soda. (“I’m ’bout to sun kiss like a soda,” he quipped.) But what punchlines really belong to Sigel?
“It wasn’t just him to the face,” Crakk says. “Niggas definitely chimed in with certain little punches and shit.”
Even though Peedi Crakk stops short of saying Sigel used a ghostwriter, it’s clear he’s certain the jabs weren’t all straight from him.
No matter the case, the Beanie Sigel-Jadakiss beef is long gone. The two even hinted at doing a joint project this summer.

Smfh*I used to love h.e.r*
Don’t like how this comes out right after cudi came @ ye & drake
Sigh…. Another dude from the ROC caught using a ghostwriter. Well, I guess if King HOV can have one so can beans. Nas to broke to hire one.
Apparently Nas aint doin too bad… youve had his dick in your mouth the last few months… u misunderstood that aknelye song the wrong way.. it was for the broads you herb
For real. How does somebody roll THIS LONG keeping Nas’ dick in his mouth? Fucking joke. Back home we call such idiots fuckboys
Im convinced dude is one of those cornballs that rode up on buddens crib in the name of ovo.. never to be mentioned by drake. This cat thinkin JiggER is reading the comments and gonna DM him.
You just can’t deal with all the facts in Takeover. It’s understandable you Nas stans still can’t deal with him losing to King HOV!
Wipe ya chin bruh. #JayCumDumpster jay chose Beyonce Bruh. Put down the phone your break is over and they need you back on fries at McDowells. Semi
O said this on taxstone podcast
So Beans wrote the whole song pretty much but they chimed in with a punchline or line here and there. Not the end of the world.
So?, it was still a fire diss
Sometimes, rap is a solo project.
Sometimes, rap is a group project.
There’s NO major rapper or musician ever who comes up with all the ideas n lines by himself. That’s impossible. They r all helped or influenced in some way by frirnds, crews, slang, things they hear etc etc.that doesnt make them any less talented if they r doing the bulk of the writing. If someone writing whole verses for u, that’s different.
Soooo…where is the percentage cutoff point to what is deemed acceptable or not? We all know Drake had “help” from Quentin Miller in the past and as a result, the notion that he’s not worthy at all is being pinned on him all the same.
It depends on what your saying and what the lyrics are about if your spitting some personal shit but it was written by someone else then thats pretty wack
Like Puff Daddy’s “Missing You”?
For the the clown saying nas lost not true what beef was you listening to hov got ate
