Bangladesh Music Producer

BOSSIP had the chance to chop it up with music producer Bangladesh. Some of you are probably saying… “Who the Hell is Bangladesh???” In a nut shell, he’s responsible for a lot of songs most people dance to, example: Beyonce’s “Diva and Video Phone”, Lil Wayne’s “A Milli”, Kelis’ “Bossy” and many many more. A question that a lot of people want to know is… “Does Beyonce Really Write Her Own Songs???”

Bangladesh Gives Us the Scoop on Beyonce and the Worst Artist He’s Ever Worked With…

Who is Bangladesh:

Bangladesh speaks on Beyonce:

Bangladesh Speaks on the Worst Person He Ever Worked With:

  • jay

    He dodged that question about Beyonce’ writing her own songs.

  • http://bossip Mia

    IT MATTERS IF YOU LIE AND SAY YOU WROTE THEM. TO FLAT OUT LIE LIKE SHE DOES IS WRONG

  • White Women Rule

    Dear, who in the music business with hits actually does write their own material? Not man, not many. For one, many artist pay handsomely for ghostwriters. You’d be surprised.

  • http://bossip lucas

    If you didn’t write a song you do not go around the world lying about it. It’s a difference between buying a song vs saying I wrote this. A liar is a f n liar

  • lita

    you guys spelled actually incorrectly

  • mimi321

    ehh, he TRIED to dodge the beyonce question, but the reality is, if he had seen it with his own eyes, he would’ve said so…so there you have it…

    i’m more tickled that they had him dog some folks out and beeped out the names, but gave ALL the details so you would know exactly who he was talking about…stop acting like asses petey pablo and kelis!!! lol

  • cosmicsistren

    He didn’t answer the question. It was a simple yes or no to whether Beyonce writes her own songs. This guy is a clown. Can’t trust a man that wears dark shades inside. He seems to me like he is trying to be cool. You’re from Iowa dude. Quit the posturing trying to be cool. It’s corny.

  • Blasian

    He only didon song for Beyonce DIVA! And I’m sure it won’t be her album again

  • http://google tiffany cleveland

    Everybody noes dat B doesn’t write her own songs. Ne-Yo & The Dream helps her. I guess that’s y she doesn’t like Keri Hilson cuz she writes her own music

  • Erica

    if u read the credits on her albums, she co-writes some of her songs with like 5 other ppl. i dnt understand why it takes 6 people to write 1 effin song.she either wrote like two words in the whole song or most likely paid for them to add her name on the credits.

    its not bad that she doesnt write her own songs cuz alot of ppl dont but she definately lied about it which is bad. she should give credit where its due.

    @whoever asked who in the business writes their own songs….alicia keys writes the vast majority of her songs by herself and sometimes maybe with one other person. remember that song “fallin” that she won five grammys for? she wrote that song 100% by herself. check the credits. the songs that beyonce won grammys for she didnt write.

    JANET IS THE QUEEN!!!! :D

  • http://deleted AfricanPrincess

    True @ Erica
    There are people who actually CAN write like Alicia Keys and ADELE or Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill. Taylor Swift. Keri Hilson. However alot of people dont write, which is boring but acceptable as long as they dont lie about it or try to write when they really cant like Rihanna. I mean, I love the girl she is fly and all but she CANNOT write …

  • truth hurts huh ?

    Bangladesh Sorry but YES IT MATTERS.
    And I think that in a kind of way saying that it doesnt matter who wrote the song is very rude. It is just a way to say you dont respect a writer. Because it is hard to put out of your brain something that makes people think or feel.
    Not just put it out, but also find a way to make the feeling “be” and become. But Bangladesh you dont know that and Beyoncé doesnt know that. Because youre not artists you are sellers. Rest in peace.

  • SEE WITH YOUR BRAINS AND NOT YOUR EYES

    Bang is not going to loose his bread and butter. Smart way to dodge a question. I understand what he is trying to say. The artist has got to have to talent to sell the song. Although I am definitely not a B fan, but she does put her all in a song…you gotta give her that. I just wish she didn’t have to sell her soul…what a waste.

  • KateB

    It’s funny how people not in the industry, comment and don’t know what they’re talking about. She co-writes and also makes lyrical and production changes to prexisting demos.

  • dontbemad

    wow BANGLADESH u’s a B*TCH!!! i know u VERY PERSONALLY and u sweet as shit, talkin all that bs about u a man etc…u a f@g, pretty boy lovin b*tch. dont make me expose ur fruity homo a$$ PLEASE DONT!!!!!

  • Bopa

    Only time I’ve ever heard of him is at the beginning of a Ciara song when she says “Banladesh bangs the best”. He needs to sit down before he finds it hard to find work.

  • Tay

    Write the songs or not, she still manages to get her name on the credits. Very smart indeed.

  • detroit78

    When he’s talking about the worst artists he is working with, I got Petey Pablo and Kelis, what you guys think?

  • smh

    There’s no way to tell who wrote what portions of the songs. Even artists like Alicia Keys who people think writes all of her own music works with other writers and such. The credits of the music are more than just lyrics — they also represent musical composition esp for artists who actually record with live instruments.

    Beyoncé may have contributed to some of the work, but her problem is she likes to seemingly take ALL of the credit.

  • MsJae

    I see the people that commented are dumb as hell!!!ya’ll need to listen to what he is saying Beyonce is that big of an artist that it DOESNT matter who writes her songs because they gon get money from whatever song they wrote for her…he neva said that she has NEVER written a song…sh*t beyonce dont need to write a song…as long as she can make it sound good…and by the way a lot of artists have ghost writters…even back in the day like Motown do yall think they wrote they own music…everybody knows that…whoever wrote the song still gon see money from it

  • Admit it!

    Beyonce never wrote a damn thing. Bangladesh way too nice to her. Does he know that she tells everyone that she wrote and produced the songs, she got from him?

    Beyonce is a compulsive liar. Putting her credits on the songs might be ok (even if she didnt write them) but saying in interviews that she wrote and produced them..etc.thats a no go! shes a fail.

  • Be Original

    Bottom line if Beyonce wrote her own songs she would be writing for others.

  • hoe shit

    she co-writes songs not write them by herself dumbasses! even Keri hilson had other writers on her album credits

  • dlastqueen

    Why did they ask those messy questions??? Who cares about petey pablo and kelis??? In any type of career, you’re going to work with some ignorant people.

  • KING JAMES DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT….YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE ONLY TO YOURSELF

    Hell that NUT NUT called Kesha writes ALL of her songs

    Mariah Carey does….she is famously known for writing her own songs

    Christina Millian writes too.

    FeFe Dobson writes as well

  • cris

    I dont like this nickel slick answer avoiding negro his shirt is tired too

  • girlshoes

    funny how they censored out kelis, and peety pablo.. like we arent going to know its them… so who is the third person.. he never spoke about the third person, he hates producing for…

  • tinaMarie

    he never said that beyonce doesn’t or does write his songs.. what he basically meant, is that it doesn’t matter what the artist claim to write or not, as long he gets that big check at the end of the day..
    haha i agree.. thats why he dodged beyonce’s question

  • didi

    wow, thats fked up what he says about kelis…lol…
    she is just arm candy…
    nas should never married her

  • chuck

    keri hilison writes her own songs?she needs a ghostwriter

  • Nessa

    Sound like he was saying he wasn’t in the studio with her and just started rambling….Thing is she gives credit all the time just that people chose to not listen. Case in point Irreplaceble, she said that Neyo helped write the song (remember their is about 4 people listed, so he didn’t write it alone. He can have proof of credit for recording the demo. Not saying he didn’t write the but how do I know?) since she started promoting BDay….but one performance of the song on tour and people lose it. Case in point when she wrote Upgrade u, behind the scenes footage showed her writing the song…hell even during the promo of IASF she said this time she basically decided to do more of other peoples work….seeing if she can make something her own and how sometimes the writing was from scratch and sometimes from what people gave her. She even spoke on how hard it was for her to verbalize what she felt without being repetitive, hence the writers. So she arranged the melodies and notes, and her vocals without a producer. Changing cords and fitting it to her style, away from the demo…Do you know how hard that is to do? Harder in fact then writing the lyrics because you have to have a good ear for that, and that for many artists is rare. Neyo said that himself on Tyra.

    But you can tell by some of the lyrics on Diva she wrote something…how the hell he gonna sound writing “since 15 in stilettos…” She wrote all the time for DC but nobody cared and yet now they do? Why?

    People pick and choose what they want to believe when it comes to Beyonce, regardless of what actually comes out of her mouth.

    PS: She did early on write for another artist….Earth, Wind, and Fire in 2001 or 2002…but she said the experience was weird (not bad, I think because she was writing for them and not for herself and DC) so she didn’t do it again.

  • Nessa

    Oh and she wrote her verse in Telephone…she has a credit and her verse isn’t in the original demo.

  • bcan

    lol on his thoughts on the worst to work with…its funny how a person’s character is perceived – its funny b/c he didn’t say anything about them not being able to sing or rap but how more so about how they acted LOL…

  • tkb

    Please I hope this doesnt mean Beyonce is coming out with a new song. I like her but please her being out of the public eye and performing is a breath of fresh air – please B come back in about 5 years, give us a chance to miss you, and please set your game up from the bubble gum music you create – and please come back with some clothes on, I’m tired of seeing your crotch!

  • Daniel Williams

    It does not matter if Beyonce did not wirte all of her song at lease she sold over 1 million of her albums and made a lot of money. Thanks to us fans.

  • ThatsWhatThatIS

    Dude is super BORING!!!! Stay in the studio.. and the ladies need a class in journalism!!! JAWN!!!!!

    she writes her music. it might be the b side stuff that never makes it to radio, but she writes it.

  • genesis

    beyonce is a great entertainer! but abyways i dont understand why some people find it hard to believe that she doesn’t write her own songs.i mean no disrespect to beyonce but like…why is it so hard to believe that she has no creative input on these mediocre songs?It ain’t like the lyrics to her songs are out of this world. If she were coming out with songs like Billy Jean, Thriller, or something like that…then I would understand.

  • muse

    Please get some people with sense to conduct interviews in a professional manner. And why not film both the interviewer and interviewee? Are you scared that your readers will be as merciless to you as you are to other people?

  • Silly Rabbit Trix are for Kids

    beyonce is a FRAUD. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS ALREADY.

  • Maevelove

    Solange could possibly be the real creative force behind Beyonce and D.C. Solange’s songwriting skills are amazing. Bang looks so uncomfortable doing this interview. Why is he a canary now? Is he burning bridges on purpose? Btw, he’s really cute :)

  • http://twitter.com/_jtp jerzotheking

    Why are all his interview negative?

  • Jenny

    I’m trying to figure out how all of these people on here commenting know for a fact that Beyonce doesn’t write her own songs? I’m a Beyonce fan and I have no idea which of her songs she writes and which ones are written for her so how do all these people on here know? Just proves my point that Beyonce’s haters are FAR more obsessed with her than her fans are.

  • Ellastar7

    Beyonce does not write her own songs! she’s a
    big LIAR! ACT LIKE SHE WRITES HER OWN SONGS.
    WHY LIE ABOUT IT?. SHE LIED ABOUT OTHER THINGS ALSO? WHAT IS HER PROBLEM? THIS GIRL AND HER
    HUSBAND ARE PURE DEVIL WORSHIPPERS, AT LEAST
    JAY-Z DOESN’T DENY THAT HE IS PART OF THE
    ILLUMINATI.

  • Ellastar7

    BEYONCE DOES NOT WRITE HER OWN SONGS EVER!
    SHE IS A BIG LIAR! ACT LIKE SHE WRITES HER

    PEOPLE. AT LEAST JAY-Z DOESN’T DENY THAT HE
    IS PART OF THE ILLUMINATI. BEYONCE HAS SOLD OUT HER SOUL FOR FAME AND FORTUNE, AND HIDES BEHIND A CHRISTIAN CLOAK-BIBLE. KNOWING DARN WELL SHE AND HER HUSBAND, RIHANNA, LADY GAGA,
    KANYE, MARY J.BLIGE, TAYLOR SWIFT, PINK, WILL
    AND JADA SMITH AND SO MANY OTHER OF HER WELL
    KNOWN HOLLYWOOD FRIENDS HAVE TRADED GOD FOR THE TASTE OF THE DEVIL’S PIE! THAT IS A SHAME WHAT GREED WILL MAKE YOU DO? SHE HAS NEVER HELPED LAUNCH ANY OTHER ARTIST IN THE MUSIC BIZ? VERY SELFISH. BEYONCE IS SO WHACKED!!!

  • devarje

    what people fail to realize is composing a song….is considered “writing” too……..she arranges all of her vocals and harmonies…..its called composing. It also gets you a writing nod!

    how u doin??

    Go Bey!

  • Jordana216

    @Nessa. Ummm 15 in my stilletos does not solidify that B wrote that song. The Dream wrote Up Out My Face for Mariah and even SANG a demo! So men will and do write songs for women. Look at ne-yo, he writes for women all the time. Oh and Mariah may get a song or 2 written for her but she hands down is the queen of the pen when it comes to writing songs. Nobody can see her, period.

  • Divine

    A couple writer who’s song Beyonce claimed to have written, says the Knowles machine pay them for the songs based on different levels.
    Top Dollar if the give all rights of the song and credit to Beyonce.
    Mid-Dollar if they give co-writing credit.
    And Lower if you give her no rights/credit at all.

    Neyo spoke out against her trying to take credit for Irreplacable.

    And The young lady who wrote “If I were a Boy” for herself said the record company forced her to give all credit to Beyonce, or be dropped and her career ruined.

    I thought she wrote Diva because it sounds so stupid and juvenile and retard..

    “A Diva is a female version of a hustla….”
    WHATEVER! First, that’s NOT the definition of a Diva.
    Second, Its just a dumb song with dumb lyrics.

  • WHY HATE????

    For someone to question who writes beyonce songs is small of you. Beyonce is a figure that many people admire and feel blessed to work with a female of her style.Beyonce get credits off the songs which means maybe she co writes? Intelligence is not in question if thats the nature of the hate.

    what Beyonce does for charity and what she brings to her fans and audiences globally you can’t find too many female artists doing this in 2010! what gaga,alicia,susan boyle,mary j.blige and maybe a few others? Beyonce teeters the list, and her #’s don’t lie-

  • truth is

    writing is a gift
    to own and sang the song is talent
    I never could tell Beyonce co writes because she owns the song when she sings them and they come from her soul & heart like she wrote them now thats talent

  • Marsha

    I am a fan of Beyonce and I love most of her songs. That being said, I do feel that she has this need to take credit for songs she didn’t write. It looks better to say singer/songwriter I guess.

    For those who say we were not in the recording studio with her to know what she wrote, fair enough. However, we KNOW she didn’t write if I were A Boy, but still tried to get her name on the credits as the songwriter.

    Another reason for wanting to claim a song was written by them is that an artist will not receive royalties when their song is played over the radio if they are not listed as writer/cowriter.

  • IG

    “I give other people credit where credit is due, like Beyoncé really did vocally arrange (‘Irreplaceable’),” Ne-Yo says. “So for someone to come in and take my credit because they are who they are? That doesn’t work for me. I don’t care who you are. … I’m not going to give you something you don’t deserve.”

  • IG

    That quote I posted is for an article that was posted on MSNBC about songwriting.

    Beyonce never claimed to write If I Were a Boy. I’m a big fan of Beyonce’s. I remember reading a press release about month before that song came out, and it said that it was a Toby Gad song. Beyonce said nothing about writing on the song. When BC Jean tried to create this controversy, the song was already out. If you looked at the song credits, Beyonce wasn’t listed as a writer on the song. BC Jean was a liar and somebody that tried to take advantage of people lying on Beyonce about her songwriting skills.
