if we gonna get on Drake for using reference tracks then why Jay Z get a pass??

[King Karim]

What's the difference between what Drake be doing compared to Jay Z? Jay basically has been doing the same exact thing his whole career. taking folks entire songs AND hooks and taking credit for them.

songs like "put your hands in the air" was Beans song and hook for his 1st album....Jay heard it and put a verse on it, and took it.


same for Ja Rule and "Can i get A". Jay used Ja's song originally as his reference track and just inserted his verse there....he has done this a lot more but i just used those 2 examples.


why Hov get a pass?

3. He originally wrote “Can I Get A…” and then agreed to let Jay Z have it
While Ja Rule still had a verse on the track, it went down in history as a Jay Z song. “At the time I felt like — maybe I am shorting myself, maybe if I would have kept it for myself, maybe my album would have sold three million copies,” he says. “That was a great moment for me though, because it really launched my career, that record.”'

10 Things We Learned About Ja Rule From His New Book



"4am we at the WAFFLE HOUSE"

Beanie wrote this song in the late late late 90s, probably around 99. he was living in Atlanta at the time, and hitting the streets and clubs. There was not 1 Waffle House in NYC in the late 90s. that's why that line was in the hook. the song is basically beanie writing about how he was living in a new city

Ja didn't write the whole song you moron. He's told told the story countless times.

[Cloud McFly]

When you hear reference tracks of full songs for Hov, then you can compare.

Deflecting that bs on other legit lyricists is lame without any proof.

Jay took a lot of songs, hooks, flows & concepts from the Prop
