Scarface speaks on JAY’s writing process. jay tried to ghost write a song for face

[threattonature]

Memorizing raps doesnt = incredible rapper to me. Jay-Z was incredible to me for other reasons, none of which are this writing in his head thing. Maybe if he put pen to paper he would be way better than he is, lyrically.

Did you listen to the different interviews though? Bun and Cam both was saying how Jay didn't just spit a generic as verse. They believed he made that shyt up right there on the spot cause he had references to the song topic in the verses. So yeah I've always been the type that I don't care about none of the behind the scene tricks just how good the music is but if he's able to come up with a verse and memorize it that quick and spit it in one take that's some amazing shyt.

Did you not watch the video? My man literally said Nas did the same thing.

Statik Selektah said it and got straight up dubbed.

Not to change the topic or anything but before the Drake shyt I always thought that ghostwriting was exactly that

A nikka handin u in the verses in a piece of paper and u finding the beat and rappin said lyrics to it

Let me find out, the ghostwriter not only write for u but he also lay down the vocals and shows u how to flow to the beat



So a nikka's only job is to memorize the verse, shyt even punch it in bar by bar with ya own vocals and there u have it

But since Jay dont write I would imagine he passed Dre ''Still Dre'' with his vocals and Dre just replaced jays voice with his

If this is true it'd be dope to release the original Still Dre with jigga on it

Steve stout says he have it the OG with jay voice on it

that started the beef with Joe with more and more .....Kelly sold him the song and Joe was killing it on the charts ...


then kelly got salty and released his version


Joe was pissed

They should definitely release it I mean its been 20 years since it came out

N yeah I remember there was a thread where someone posted The Dream version of some hit songs, remember listenin to rhianna's umbrella orginal by the dream

I guess thats what big acts do in the music biz... Labels and management companies have poured so much money into making them household names that it is cheaper to buy up and coming artists hits for these acts rather than raising another superstar

Ghostwriting is huge

little known fact is jay wrote bith of queen pens albums along with bugs bunny rap off of space jam and other things


thats where most of his money came from he never cashed any def jam checks they owed him so much money they was shocked


sauce money was living off money from writing ill be missing you for diddy

i remember a pic sauce put up he was sitting in a chair and he basket of checks he never cashed and it was full .....


Im sure there are tons of reference tracks with the writer on it


there is some song where BIG was rapping for lil kim so she can catch the flow online
