Skins Songwriting Credits by XXXTENTACION

The credits on Skins show who was still in the room at the end. XXXTentacion is a listed writer on all ten tracks, so authorship of the songs themselves is not really in question. What the paperwork also shows is John Cunningham writing on nine of them, producing or co-producing eight, and holding album-level credits for bass, drums, guitar, piano, programming, engineering, mixing and executive production. That is the credit spread of someone building arrangements around vocal takes that already existed, not of someone tracking in a room with the singer. Robert Soukiasyan does the same double duty on four tracks, writing, playing keys or piano, engineering and mixing. "One Minute" is the clearest case: Kanye West, CyHi and Travis Barker all hold writing credits on a song assembled after Onfroy was dead, and Genius lists Will Chason recording alongside Cunningham, which means separate sessions were joined into one master. Posthumous release does not change who wrote a line. It moves every decision that was left to the producers and the estate, including which takes survive and where a track ends. When reviewers called the album unfinished, that gap is what they were describing.
