Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
"You can expect his flow to be different on that unusual beat "

"That flow is what he's known for "

:wow:

Can't even be consistent when typing essays, when all I asked for was a song with the same flow.

:comeon:

And that unusual beat your spoke of, lupe gots plenty of songs on those beats.

Post a song or move along.

You don't know about Hip Hop if you don't know that Jay-Z is known for his flow. Meaning his ability to ride different beats with different flows. I know some rappers sound the same on every song. But he's not one of them...





So come with a better accusation than that or move along...Just cause Biggie never flowed like he did on Notorious Thugs that must mean he ain't write it...lol.

Even tho it sounds obvious that Ra wrote it, they both have been denying it ever since.

Biggie pretty much wrote most of Lil Kim's shyt. Always been obvious. She's nothing but a performer, same with Foxy Brown. Same with "Plastic Minaj" too. They're all business endeavours to basically cater & to eat off large-but-profitable female demographic. Kim cant rap - obvious that Biggie/Mase/Cam'ron etc wrote for her, Foxy cant rap - obvious that AZ/Nas/Jigga etc wrote her shyt.

But still mfs act like they queens of rap. Mfs will like ANYTHING as long as its pushed on tv/radio/social media.

Rah Digga can SPIT, Lady of Rage can SPIT, Lauryn can SPIT (even tho its been alleged that she had help from industry songwriters on her debut album), Yo-Yo can/could SPIT..and a few others too. But of course they - or artists like them - get no love or respect cuz they not on your tv/radio or pushed by a major exec.
Nah Kim wrote No Time and even wrote the chorus for Puff .... Kim wrote a couple songs on Hardcore as well , but Biggie wrote shyt like Drugs , Queen bytch , Mafia Land etc
