From HipHopDX:
Kanye West supposedly ghost-produced for Deric “D-Dot†Angelettie at the onset of his career, but turned on his mentor since his career found legs of its own. Talking with XXLMag.com, Papa Dot, also known by his rapping alias The Mad Rapper, explained that the two are on speaking terms, but he still feels like Yeezy did him wrong.
“When we see each other we shake each other hands and say what’s up, but he didn’t do right by his O.G.,†he said. “I didn’t do nothing to him. I didn’t rob him. All that ghost production shit he started and had the world makin’ ‘em think that he did everything.”
In the past, ‘Ye claimed that D-Dot wrongfully took credit for producing tracks that he helmed. D-Dot, who co-produced with Kanye on Nas’ “Poppa Was a Playa†and his track “Ghetto†featuring Raekwon and Carl Thomas, claims that the G.O.O.D. Music honcho is slandering his name.
“He’s doin’ it right now and been doin’ for the last 5 or 6 years,†D-Dot said, “so all that shit he had people believing is actually disrespectful by believing that somebody like myself would actually take his music and rob him and put my name on it like he didn’t get credit.â€
