i just think regarding ghostface..dude knew in todays climate going platinum or double platinum isn't a SURE-SHOT because you're a star. So, he went cheap and start fucking with myspace newjacks and lesser known producers..because on average..a newjack could get a beat from a newjack for about anywhere from 500$-1k. and if the newjack producer is really in need of money..maybe 300$ for a track. That cuts corners..so you won't spend so much on production and end up FLOPPING.
Stars have that leverage on NewJacks. Like how Jay-Z can get ton's of free beats, just because The newjacks understand what could happen if Jay actually used they're beats.
I even heard 9th wonder say he would send lil wayne and ghostface a beattape and he can do whatever with it.. free shit.

white rockstars put people on all the time..they just don't brag about it like hip-hop...hip-hop thrives off "co-signs" .."kanye saying no i.d., jay-z, dame, hip-hop, gee, d-dot, and 3H..they helped me ..etc etc.. " for a newjack in hip-hop co-signs and helping hands are like BADGES OF HONOR...that show HOW DOPE YOU ARE... you're a nobody (in a music sense) and these Established Legends BELIEVED IN YOU!
Rockstar don't boast about that type of stuff..unless asked in a interview..and interviewers rarely ask rockers who put you on...assuming that they needed to get put on by somebody. Rock Interviews are more about detailed questions about party life, and how the album came together and touring.....
