== ghost writing == 

 Does anybody here have any background or want to write anything on Jay-Z's ghost writing for other rappers? I know for sure he did writing for Dr. Dre's "Still D.R.E." You can see "S. Carter" in the liner notes, and Dre's line even uses Jay's signature move including the chorus in the verse... This is probably why the title for Vol. 3 references "S. Carter." He also has a line on Vol. 2 something like "ghost writer, for the right price, I'll make your shit tighter." Rumors are he writes all of Memphis Bleek's shit and who knows who else, probably Puff Daddy  remember Puff's line "I don't write rhymes, I write checks"?   

 == aliases == 

 Does anybody mind if I cut down this ridiculous list of aliases? Just because Jay-Z called himself something in one song... This article already is so long, messy and full of repetitions as it is. I just made a bunch of changes to clean it up, I hope y'all don't mind.
