Wherever nikkas need to be told on
It IS a big deal to say that one of the greatest lyricist of all time uses someone else's pen.

Especially with both of them have denied it
:whoa:

Which of these statements is a denial? :usure:

Nas is one of the gods, one of the greatest of all time, one of the godfathers of even my own style. I met him on a humble submission and he is one of the greatest ever — he never has or never will need a ghostwriter. He's legendary, his pen game is unquestionable; salute to Nas.

See how easy it is to cater the quote to fit your belief when you bold and italicize what you want to.

Breh, are you serious? :what: I bolded and italicized the part that addresses the allegation of ghostwriting. You highlighted some shyt that has more to do with the admiration Jay Elec has for Nas and acknowledgment that Nas has influenced Jay Elec as an artist. It's the equivalent of Nas saying Rakim and Kool G Rap are the "godfathers of his style." In no way shape or form can you extract from that kind of statement anything about ghostwriting.

Nas started using ghost writers after Gods Son. There's some song on Hip Hop is Dead where he pronounces the word echelon like ekkelon. That right there is proof to me that he was reciting a rhyme that someone else wrote. He's still my favorite rapper and GOAT imo

"Jay Elect DOESNT write it/ Hov couldn't write it he vacationing"


From the man himself
@Ziggiy you looking a little funny in the light. :patrice: How you gonna say they both denied it and then only show evidence of one of them denying it? :ufdup: Meanwhile, you ignore the statement from the other person which I'm suggesting doesn't amount to a denial.

It's all good, though. I'm not attacking Nas. That's one of my favorite rappers. To be honest, I'm just saying I hear Jay Elec when Nas is rapping Queens Get The Money. I guess I could be wrong. :manny: But that's the only song that sounds really really..different. :ld:

I don't think Elec could say " Nas will never "use" a ghostwriter unless he's been with Nas his entire career or in the future. He can obviously say he'll never "need" one because him needing one doesn't make sense in the context of Nas' perceived lyrical ability. Just pointing out the language use you posted isnt clear but its also not a complete denial which is " I did not write any bars for Nas" which he probably can't say as that would be inaccurate (imo) but I do doubt he wrote a whole verse for Nas to spit verbatim. That makes no sense to me.
