Many people might not know it, but Jay-Z is also one of the best ghostwriters in the music industry. He’s written the lyrics to several hit records, most notably Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s 1999 single “Still D.R.E.” He also wrote “Buggin’”, a record from the Space Jam soundtrack that was performed by Bugs Bunny. Years later, while looking back on the experience, he claims he had no idea the moment would become so iconic.

Jay-Z Reveals He Boycotted the 1999 Grammy Awards Out of Support For DMX

In 1998, Jay-Z’s career started to take off. His third studio album, Vol. 2...
