I never knew Jay Z ghostwrote Still Dre

[Heelish]

Rakim writing Summertime for Will Smith is a lesser known fact. But if you listen to the song, it's pretty obvious.

Now that you mention it and I think of Will's flow on that track, it's obvious

"Summertime"

Label: Jive
Writer(s): Smith, Townes
Producer: K. Fingers (Craig Simpkins), Hula (Lamar Hula Mahone)

Townes is DJ Jazzy Jeff, by the way, ha. Will wrote that but it does sound exactly like Rakim. Maybe it was just Rakim-inspired.

He even used Rakims voice

From Jazzy Jeff's twitter:

@djjazzyjeff215 Fyi...Rakim did not write Summertime...I love Rakim to death but that was 100% Big Willy Styles...

Jadakiss and nas wrote a lot for will smith around big willy style times.

On the last juan Epstein jada said Nas did some earlier will smith stuff too but cant remember if it was summertime or not.

 

[The Guru]

Nah Ra said himself he didn't have anything to do with Summertime.

[Davieboy86]

I'm sure n. jones is in the credits many times on them big willy style and willenium albums, jada talks about it on the juan Epstein show with ciph and Rosenberg, many many gems dropped in that hour.

 

[Kimo_bud]

Who cares..the song is known for dres beat anyways.. Not mr Knowles lyrics

 

[The Antagonist]

The most obvious is Em ghostwriting Dre's verses on I Need A Doctor and Hell Breaks Loose.. those are clearly em style verses

 

[Family Lives Matter]

I knew Dre had most of his lyrics wrote for him but somehow this has just gone over my head and I never put it together untill watching that
