"Biting" why the fukk can't people write in different ways? Why is everything considered biting (and usually only with Jay)?
And nah, this is the at Jay's been writing for awhile and it has typical Jay bars but just in a different structure, it's no different than what Tyler's doing on the track.
i didn't say jay couldn't write a different way, he's got a million and one flows. im a fan of jay nikka take the cape off and be objective about it
this particular flow is VERY ocean-esque....and on a song with Ocean....from Jay-z....who is already known for soaking up other people's style from time to time. You can't listen to Blonde or Endless and then play this verse and tell me he didn't try to tap into the same style frank had on those albums. He even used the same cadences that are ALL over those 2 albums
you're adding a negative connotation to the term biting, everyone in art bites from someone in someway at the end of the day, it's only a problem when that style doesn't seem right coming from you (obviously rap fans are a little more intense but that's because it's a young person's genre and alot of them think shyt is original when it isn't)
In this situation Jay woulda been better off doing him instead of trying to bridge the gap between him and frank
And tyler did the same thing so idk why you mentioned his verse, he never raps like that normally
