A lyricist or lyrist is a musician who specializes in writing lyrics. A singer who writes the lyrics to songs is a singer-lyricist. This differentiates from a singer-composer, who composes the song's melody.
A lyricist's income is derived from royalties received from original songs . The royalties may range from 50% of the song if it was written primarily with the composer, or less if the song was founded from a collaboration. Songs are automatically copyrighted as soon as they are in a tangible form, such as a recording or sheet music; but, before a song is published or made public, it should be registered with the Copyright Office at the U.S. Library of Congress to be able to enforce copyright infringement claims in civil court.
Collaboration takes different forms: Some composers and lyricists work closely together on a song, with each having an input into both words and tune. Usually a lyricist fills in the words to a tune already fully written out. Dorothy Fields worked in this way. Lyricists have often added words to an established tune, as Johnny Burke did with the Erroll Garner tune Misty. Some partnerships work almost totally independently, for example, Bernie Taupin writes lyrics and hands them over to Elton John, who then sets them to music, with minimum interaction between the two men.
Adidja Azim Palmer (born 7 January 1976) better known as Vybz Kartel, is a Jamaican reggae dancehall recording artist and entrepreneur. Some of his singles include "Clarks", "Ramping Shop", "Dancehall Hero" and the Major Lazer collaboration "Pon De Floor".
Kartel was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2014 for the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams, an associate. He is not eligible for parole for 35 years.
Kartel started his career as a teenager in 1993 with his first recording "Love Fat Woman", released on Alvin Reid's label "One Heart", using the moniker "Adi Banton", an homage to Buju Banton. Palmer was later part of the three-member group "Vybez Kartel", keeping the slightly altered name after the group split up, and became a protege of Bounty Killer, for whom he claims to have written nearly 30 songs, including "Gal Clown".
Vybz Kartel rose to prominence in 2003 after a string of hits in Jamaica. The year culminated in a pre-planned on-stage clash with Ninjaman at the annual dancehall festival Sting in Kartel's hometown of Portmore. The clash turned violent when Kartel's crewmembers, as well as Kartel himself, threw punches and assaulted Ninjaman onstage. While Kartel's manager initially blamed Ninjaman for the fracas, Kartel himself quickly apologised to Ninjaman and Sting organizers for the fracas. Four days after the incident, the two artists appeared before the press to announce a settlement of their differences and to end any animosity.
Prasoon Joshi (born 16 September 1971) is an renowned Indian lyricist, screenwriter and ad-guru. He is current CEO of McCann World group India and Chairman (Asia Pacific), a subsidiary of global marketing firm McCann Erickson. He is also a writer and poet, mainly in Hindi and English languages. He has received Padma Shri in 2015, Filmfare Best Lyricist Award three times, twice consecutively: in 2007 and 2008 and again in 2014 for Hindi movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Prasoon has also received the National Film Award for Best Lyrics twice, once for his work in Taare Zameen Par (2007), and Chittagong (2013). He has been awarded Padma Shri by Government of India for his contribution towards the field of Arts, Literature and Advertising in 2015.
Prasoon Joshi spent his earliest years in Almora, in north Indian state of Uttarakhand (then part of Uttar Pradesh). His father, D.K. Joshi, served as a PCS officer with the Civil Service of the state government and later became the additional director of the state's Education Service. These early years all across the northern India – and spending time in places like Almora, Nainital (where his extended family and relatives still live), Tehri, Chamoli Gopeshwar, and later Rampur, Meerut and Dehradun – gave Prasoon a remarkable feel for the real Indian pulse that he is now celebrated for in his lyrics and advertising. His mother, Sushma Joshi, a lecturer in political science, performed for the All India Radio for over three decades. His parents are qualified classical vocalists and daily home life for the young Prasoon was marked with academic discipline, a rich vein of the artistic life and a strong sense of music and culture.

Please consider checking out my blog: http://lofalexandria.com/ or following me on twitter: https://twitter.com/lofalexandria I tried to find this amazing video breaking down Eminem's rhymes for a discussion on reddit about Eminem and it had been removed from youtube after the creator's youtube channel was closed down. Thought I would re-upload for everyone to enjoy. The channel this video was originally from was closed due to some legal trouble for the creator: http://www.dailydot.com/news/youtube-mike-lombardo-arrested-fbi-child-porn/ I figured there is no harm in uploading it again since it is not likely he is going to be back on the web any time soon to reupload himself.

(Verse 1)
If you were in my world, girl! You would have made my heart become brighter like a pearl, can you feel the love?
As it whirls, with the butterflies tangling inside, you've got me twirling and I can't stop smiling.
I just want our first true love to be a memory; something worth remembering like in December on Christmas day, without expecting anything in return, all I want is a fairytale.
Since your prettiness is blowing in the wind, you're one of a kind, you caught my love blind, I must be love-struck, isn't that lucky, you made my mind, go crazy, for you girl!
When my day is becoming worst, you're the girl! That brings joy to it, with your motivation, you have the sweetest heart on this earth and you lift my self-esteem with inspiration and that swift's me away to believe in myself.
The generous inside of you is so sweet that it greets my heart with something called love, while everyone is above; you're the girl that I can't fleet from.
The hotness inside of you makes the jealously inside every girl rot, and If you ever gave me the chance, I will never give up on you, can you see that you're the girl I've been looking for.
I got to find her out there, somewhere, and let her know that her happiness is my plan; I just want you to know that I'll be the guy, you can count on.
(Chorus 1)
Will you give me the true love that I need.
(Will it be you, girl! )
Will you tell me what my true love means to you.
(Will it be you, girl! )
Will it, will it, will it be you.
(I know I'm young but I just want to find my first true love.)
(Verse 2)
If you were in my world, girl! You would have made my heart become brighter like a pearl, can you feel the love?
As it whirls, with the butterflies tangling inside, you've got me twirling and I can't stop smiling.
I just want our first true love to be a memory; something worth remembering like in December on Christmas day, without expecting anything in return, all I want is a fairytale.
Since your prettiness is blowing in the wind, you're one of a kind, you caught my love blind, I must be love-struck, isn't that lucky, you made my mind, go crazy, for you girl!
When my day is becoming worst, you're the girl! That brings joy to it, with your motivation, you have the sweetest heart on this earth and you lift my self-esteem with inspiration and that swift's me away to believe in myself.
The generous inside of you is so sweet that it greets my heart with something called love, while everyone is above; you're the girl that I can't fleet from.
The hotness inside of you makes the jealously inside every girl rot, and If you ever gave me the chance, I will never give up on you, can you see that you're the girl I've been looking for.
By far, you're something special that I would like to keep; can you see that my love is getting deeper?
And if you do, let's travel to the planet of love and make it real.
I got to find her out there, somewhere, and let her know that her happiness is my plan; I just want you to know that I'll be the guy, you can count on.
(Chorus 2)
Will you give me the true love that I need.
(Will it be you, girl! )
Will you tell me what my true love means to you.
(Will it be you, girl! )
Will it, will it, will it be you.
