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

Are you sure you're a Nas stan?
Yea. There's too much evidence. Why would Jay Elec tell someone he ghostwrote for Nas? He's always been highly respectful of OGs, I see no reason for him to lie.

Jay Elec has a Nas tribute song, which he played for Nas when they first met. I think he played him Queens Get The Money too at some point, and either asked Nas to take it or Nas asked. The off beat rhyming, tone, and subject matter sounds like Nas reading someone else's raps. I'm sorry.

Y'all really don't know how rap works do y'all? Lol

Not saying I know if Jay Elec wrote the song, but some of y'all favorite rappers and legends have had songs ghostwritten for them. It's a very common practice. Rappers are touring, doing business ventures, and have writer's block at times. Labels get nikkas to write songs for rappers. It happens. Stop thinking these nikkas are superheros. Y'all too grown for this.


We can't give passes for guys who not built to write their own shyt, tho.

This my one And only point
Thjis whole theory is based off some stupid comment from a jay-z Stan
Electronic said it didn't happen
Dead prez said it didn't happen
Nas said it didn't happen
Those are the 3 parties involved:mjlol:

Yet yall continue to push your weirdo conspiracy theories that have no basis.

Your telling me to grow up when you guys sound like them dudes who think tupac is still alive because he died at 4:03 7 days after he was shot :mjlol:

Nas experiments with flows and lyrics at the time, but do your thing :francis:

People in the industry don't label someone as a "LIAR or EXAGERATOR" for no reason but if you choose to believe a lie instead of the truth then good for you my man.

You assumptions in your 2 second paragraph are enlightening. No need to be sorry about your assumptions...besides it's what you accept as truth without PROOF!

they were probably in the damn studio together

found this

Update: Stic.man commented on his work with Nas via Facebook, “As far as the rumors about myself and jay electronika ghost writing for Nas, let me say this. Nas is one of the if not the most prolific original lyricist to EVER do it. My contributions to his album was a collaboration and an honor and under his direction of what he wanted to convey and say. Haters cant discredit that man’s genuis. Nas is the Don.

He later elaborated, saying he was “just a white belt that answered the call for a session with a master of the craft. And I assisted where it was requested with ideas, beats and some writing.” So, maybe some smoke, but not the type of fire these rumors suggested.
There it is right there. Nas has used ghostwriters. Immature rap fans gonna damage control this even though they don't have to. There is nothing wrong with having people write for you under YOUR direction. Nas is still the GOAT regardless of how many songs may or may have not been written for him.

I don't play my card as often as you but having worked in the industry I'll disagree.

Nas is my favorite rapper. I'm not saying he uses ghost writers in the traditional sense. Just that it's very clear this particular track was a Jay Elec track Nas decided to record.

I'm laughing at these so called hip hop heads and Nas fans that can't even recognize a Nas reference from his earlier catalog. But they are so quick to accuse the man of having a ghost writer.

This, when I read dude point out that uzi line trying to use it as evidence Jay wrote for him I thought of It Ain't Hard To Tell
