I take 7 MC's put 'em in a line
And add 7 more brothas who think they can rhyme
--- Rakim, 1987
Jay Elec wrote that for Rakim breh
I take 7 MC's put 'em in a line
And add 7 more brothas who think they can rhyme
--- Rakim, 1987
but he wrote on a song that has no hook (Untitled / Louis Farrakhan)
and he did it alone in Atlanta
so he gave naS a reference like QM-Drake?
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
Emphasis on lines. It's just that. Rappers feed each other lines all the time. If that's the case then Ghostface and Raekwon are each other's ghostwriter
It's known that Cormega gave Nas the line "I'll be flooded with ice so hellfire can't scorch me" for his It Was Written album
Inputting a line here and there are different than writing a whole song for a nikka
Rakim line from 86.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
Prime dikkridingUntil I hear reference tapes with my own ears I refuse to believe the GOAT didn't write it
but he wrote part of nazz sly fox verse(s) (i see BS, GPS)
funny how u downplay "hooks" like they're not just short, uncatchy verses in nazz music
i guess the fact it gets played more than once in the song makes it better? shouldn't that make it worse
u act like he came in and wrote some shyt for Mary J to sing :mjol:
also Untited / louis farrakhan doesn't even have a hook and stic wrote that solo as he admits
the words and style of rhyming made me think of Jay Elec
like
You ain't as hot as I is
All of these false prophets is not messiahs
You don't know how high the sky is
The square mileage of Earth, or what pi is
it's hard for me to think of Nas saying you ain't at hot as I is....Jay Elec often uses "hot" in his raps like I ain't a Hot Boy but the flows jalapeno
uses I ain't as well
and this other part
They pray "please God let him spit that Uzi in the army lining
That shorty doo-wop rolling oo-wop in the park reclining"
"please God let him spit that Uzi in the army lining" - reminds me of Jay, not something I'd naturally hear from Nas also Jay has that track "Uzi weighs a ton"
reminds me too much Jay Elec....either way I'm not even mad at Nas
That is a direct reference to It ain't hard to tell
"Sneak a Uzi on the island in my army jacket lining"
You trying to hard you damn weirdo
everyone always forgets this song too
never heard that wackass songThe nikka CLEARLY said he produced the track. And the track CLEARLY has vocals about Farrakhan thru that whole fukkin song. Take Nas vocals and verses off. The song STILL has to be about Farrakhan. I suggest u nikkas who have no idea about recording or making a song just stfu.
