While some of you are enjoying
your summers abroad or off vacationing with family and friends, others have
been occupied with the drama between rappers, Drake and Meek Mill. For those of
you who have a life during the summer: don’t worry, I have you covered. Recently, I’ve been occupied with
trolling the Internet and analyzing the beef between the two. It all started
when Meek Mill called out Drake for using ghostwriter, Quentin Miller, to write
popular tracks on his latest album, If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late.
Ghostwriting is viewed as a
dishonest practice in the rap world… but what about in the
communications world? The practice of writing material for another person,
without a byline, in exchange for profit is common in organizations that have
PR professionals working to meet communication objectives. The public is
typically aware of ghostwriting when it comes to speeches and autobiographies,
but in some instances ghostwriting can be deceiving.
