Nas didn't even try to make Queens Get The Money sound like him

[UpAndComing]

also in Jay Elec's Uzi weighs a ton he says

Bring seven emcees, put them in a line

and Queens Get the Money has

Take 27 emcee's put them in a line and they're out of alignment

I take 7 MC's put 'em in a line
And add 7 more brothas who think they can rhyme

--- Rakim, 1987

ok i forgot about that common reference, still only see Jay really using that in his tracks though

also don't think Nas would give Rakim that reference after the UBR track not pleasing Rakim as much as he thought it would

nikka u ever heard of Rakim? Lol

Edit: someone beat me to it.

 

[UpAndComing]

nikka u ever heard or Rakim? Lol

Exactly

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Yeah Jay Elec definitely wrote that. As a Nas stan I was disappointed. Why would he get anyone to write a verse for him? He's fukking Nas, not Puffy.

yea i know Rakim wrote it first but honestly thought of Jay Elec first when I first heard that track since he uses that same militant style with religious and scientific references in his raps

Jungles the only brother he takes shyt from

Jungle getting shyt from Jay Elec too then

 

[TillWeDie]

maybe Nas thought this was the only way Jay Elec would actually have some material finally come out on a real album

 

[CrimsonTider]

Thats one of the most blatantly ghostwritten songs in rap that Heads know about.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Yes because Nas rapping about jaded fans wanting him to sound like Ilmatic and throwing shots at 50 Cent is so outside of his comfort zone....

Are you saying Jay Elect didnt write that song?

Son Jay Elec got that style from Nas and Killah Priest. Lol it's nobody's fault but ur own if u thought of Jay Elec when u hear a Rakim influenced line.

It's more Outlandish to think that nas would ask jay electronic or anyone else for that matter to write him a entire verse
But I'll let yall cook
