The author and hip-hop journalist, Dream Hampton, made some controversial statements on Twitter about rapper Nas.
Triggered by a reply from a follower on Twitter, Hampton said confidently that Nas received help from Jay Electronica and stic.man of Dead Prez in writing tracks for his 2008 album Untitled. View her tweets on Nas below:
Note, Hampton is a critical acclaimed author who co-wrote Jay-Z's Decoded, hand great tides with the late Biggie, and was even executive producer of the 2007 filmography Notorious B.I.G.: Bigger Than Life. She is not seeking fame.

Before the writer ever made her comments, Nas answered the question of whether he has used ghostwriters during his visit to Power 106 in LA. When the host Big Boy asked Nas the question, the rapper replied with a flat out "NO."
He continued by saying that any "ghostwriter" he uses comes from the inspiration he gets just through daily conversation.

So does the statement made by Dream Hampton shift your view of Nas in anyway?
