Kanye ate up Jay Z In Otis

[Blackmamba24]

It's really close, in fact it's probably even but Kanye gets the slight edge from me. He washed Jay on New Day as well. They both got washed by Beyonce on Lift Off. Hov won the rest of the album tho besides maybe Illest N**** Alive.

 

[Dolo]

Nah but its one of the few times on WTT where he was close to Jay lyrically

"Now im bouta make em tuck they whole summer in"

 

[Aje]

I wonder who helped Kanye write his verse

this

 

[head shots101]

Ye don't write tho

 

[Off the Onion]

Jay sounded better on the song.

 

[MR. Conclusion]

Hov had the better verse, stop it
Arm out the window,
Through the city I maneuver slow
Cock back, snap back
See my cut through the holes - Jay Z (Otis)

1. Arm out the window,
   Through the city I maneuver slow

2. Cock back, snap back

3. See my cut through the holes

The coldest with them triple entendres

I never peeped the football reference.


Man that album had wall to wall quotables.

Bruh.. I don't know who wrote Kanye's verses, but he had several classic lines on that album like this.

I was so ready for WTT2. Still am.

Lol ...op how old are you? Why is this a discussion? Ye don't write....it's like saying who had the better verse in any Dre ft Snoop song

Edit: hold.smh...fukking auto correct

 

[Xecutioner]

Classic song and classic ghost writing for Kanye

 

[old boy]

ehh i wouldnt say that at all

but overall i must admit i wasnt a big fan of otis, it never moved me like the other material on the album

i always thought they shoulda dropped made in america & did a video for that. amazing heartfelt music right there

I know it's cool to get on Kanye about writers but he always credits people when they help. In this case I just checked the track listing for Otis and the only people credited besides Kanye and Jay are who they sampled from.

Meaning Kanye wrote his Otis verse. In fact most of the tracks are like that.

I preferred Jay-Z this. Kanye held his own on the album though.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

I'm asking why so many of you aren't considering the very real possibility that Hov wrote the whole album, given how much we know Hov has ghostwritten in the past and Kanye has used writers.

Because you can clearly hear GOOD Music artists on a lot of these records. Ye's No Church In The Wild is verse clearly penned by Pusha T, Otis is definitely Cyhi, etc.

They released a behind the scenes short film with the album and hov had to remind him what his lyrics were
