S. Carter: Ghostwriter

Before he was a superstar in his own right, JAŸ-Z was a respected lyricist who had so many rhymes to spare that he helped Foxy Brown pen her breakthrough hits. Even after he had no need for royalty checks from other artists, Hov has continued to write verses for fellow rap legends like Dr. Dre and Puff Daddy and has helped craft pop hits by Beyoncé and Rihanna.
