We do know that he stole the concept and flow of Feeling It from Camp Lo, so the shyt wasn’t all original.

I know this was the only album where he wrote rhymes on pen and paper, but that was probably during the early sessions. By the time he recorded "Brooklyn's Finest," he wasn't doing that anymore because he and Biggie kept passing each other a blank pad to write something down and they weren't. :pachaha:

Concept and flow?
Ski gave a beat that had been used in one studio session to another rapper, this happens pretty often when you don't produce shyt exclusively for one project. Especially if the hook is sampled or done.

Flow and delivery is completely different, Ski definitely exaggerated about it. There's only so many ways a given rapper can flow to stay on beat and this was in line with his flow on the whole album.

Spitting shyt off your album is what people did back in the days a sample for what was to come. People would do that, some of the top, some random shyt and on. You just exposed yourself kid.

I don't think you dudes have listened to Camp Lo or mid 90s Jay-z with these comments. That's how they rap, that's how he raps and the beat is what it is.
If beats were different dudes wouldn't say shyt, or if it was the same you would also say shyt about different songs having the same flow :snoop:. So whose flow is he jacking Ski's or suede?

The f*ck? :dahell: Calling somebody a fraud doesn't mean you're on their d*ck bro :wtf: kind of logic is that? :heh: So if I call you a bish azz nikka that means I'm on your d*ck too? :mjgrin: Jay is a great businessman, let's leave it at that.
