Gza. lables the whole song was a scheme essentially, that was 95, there might be earlier examples, but it was one of the first that comes to mind

That's not the earliest example of Jay using schemes, but homie is right, the Wu was doing it before then.

I vaguely remember that labels songs

Did Gza put it together as clever as jay did though?

like “the fifth’ll dead lift if nikkas don’t wanna get shot then ya nikkas better squat I drop ur set for rep no need to hit the showers the spit from the fifth leave u wet”

I mean q tip had that verse on the infamous album too but u can’t compare that to lyrical excercise imo

Gza was creative in telling a story for a whole song using lable names, jay was more intricate in terms of the punch, give both credit for being ahead of their time

Was just listening to Jay's catalog earlier in the gym. He was scheming on the Dynasty Intro before Lyrical Exercise. Pretty sure he was scheming on Reasonable Doubt too.
