Speculations have recently run rampant on social media after rapper Meek Mill's rant via Twitter about how artist Drake has a "ghostwriter," or doesn't pen his own lyrics.

While the act of ghostwriting has always been fairly prevalent in the hip hop genre, it is also largely looked down upon, especially from an artist of Drake's caliber.

Rappers and individuals of the industry alike have come forward to vent their opinion, along with hip hop artist Lupe Fiasco, who has personally wrote the two artists a letter of reconciliation on his Instagram.

In this, he explained the history of ghostwriting and its importance or unimportance in hip hop.

"Ghostwriting, or borrowing lines, or taking suggestions from the room has always been in rap and will always be in rap," Fiasco wrote. "It is nothing to go crazy over or be offended about unless you are someone who postures him or herself on the importance of authenticity and tries to portray that quality to your fans or the public at large. Then we might have a problem."

He instead looked at the larger picture and defined what he believed is really destroying the genre.

"Modern Radio and the commercial realm of music has injured rap," he continues. "It set up ambiguous rules and systems for success that don't take into consideration the quality and skill of the rappers craft. It redefined rap as just being a beat driven hook with some words in between and an entire generation has surrendered to chasing the format instead of chasing the art form. While mastering any format should be the pursuit of any self-respecting rapper including the commercial format it must be kept clear that it is just one of many formats and that you should strive to master all of them."

"Meek Mill struck a nerve accusing Drake of having a ghostwriter and the entire rap world reacted on all sides of the fence because rap is alive. It's active and it feels. Its rules and traditions are vibrant and responsive. I enjoy both these brothers music and find inspiration and appreciation from both of them."
