I’ve got no inside info, but it DEFINITELY “feels” like Rakim... whether that’s because he wrote it or the writer was trying to sound like Ra, someone did a great job duplicating him.


ain't no damn duplicate or biting.
you nikkaz just never leave the house to know what the real is.
simple as that



art barr

the real grassroot drawing headliner.
you homebodies supporting sckraight frauds.

it is cool tho.
I will put your favorite rapper taxidermy skin on a hook to dry.

plus lol at the fact none of them are a real draw without a loan and hiding in hole from me and ju.

till someone gives them a loan.
a loan which only comes from the person's work.
that was setup under our legacy to do so as well.


go see who the real is and stop living a complete prison industrial economy based lie.


you been fooled and duped.
while the real realistically posts amoung you and i create how you do all the shyt yiu do from my work at my day job and interests after work in mu culture frfr.



y'all have a good one.

don't forget. I post on here so maybe one day.
I see a nikka as dope as me in human creation.
Plus, I wrote the draw lifer to te highest drawing rappers in that time too. To the point rappers and execs family visit me from this board.

with that said.
i will be Waiting twenty years publically.

Wil be going to the grave.
before i see.
Someone dope as me tho.

Off topic, but is Will Smith the most well liked celebrity of all time??


he was marketed by those blood diamond mine charlatans at jive. Who already from jump lie and say that the jazzy jeff with the fresh prince is the real jazzy jeff

when the real jazzy jeff was with the funky four plus one and the first hiphop tragedy in the loss of one half of double trouble.

Where is the reference where he said he recorded it with a sore throat? If possible.

That is soooo comforting to hear.

I'm about to record my next album in these winter months and am so worried if I get a sore throat or cold.

Imagine preparing an album but being sick while recording vocals. It's like how do you even tell if the vocals are affected?

To hear that Will had a sore throat while recording one of the most feel good hip hop tracks of all time is inspiring!

Thanks for mentioning that!

His Live with Charlie Mack & Jazzy Jeff. It was posted earlier. It was hilarious. Charlie was like what's our record?
Will said "shtt. It's better than Floyd's"

This is the fukkery that happens just once when someone writes another's lyrics.

Even some respectable artists admitted to using ghostwriters, shyt is heart breaking.

That's when Busta confidententally saying he never used Ghostwriters added to his power.

Or when Luda showed up on Bet with graff on his jean outfit that read "real emcee write their own lyrics" or something.

For all the young artists reading this thread please if you care about your writing integrity - don't ever use Ghostwriters.

And there are writers who get paid for this and will push that it's okay.

I'm not with it tho personally.

I don't know, he is very different and very special. As a human being period.

When I first saw Fresh Prince I literally thought he was the greatest ever as a kid.

And It was more like I knew he rapped but it's like who he was.

Will is a goat in his own right for certain.

He is more of an Actor all in all so I see what you mean.

Absolutely agree. My kids love him and their minds where blown when I introduced them to his music.

You really spent Thanksgiving morning writing this ridiculous, rambling essay?
What in the sam hell are you even talking about?
I believe you’re supposed to be The Booths resident “old head” or whatever, but you’re not the only old dude here... I grew up just over the bridge from Philly, and still got “Rock The House” on cassette tape... much love and respect to Fresh Prince, but you’re crazy if you don’t think “Summertime” sounds like Rakim... why or however the reason that is.

@Art Barr ghostwrote “Summertime” for Juice. Pay homage.

Follow up questions to the “great debate”...
Was Rakim ghostwriting for people, back then, or at any point? I believe he wrote for Dre, but other than that?
Was there any connection between Ra and Will Smith in this era? Or are these theories all based on “It sounds like Rakim” (Cadence, etc)

if will wrote the stuff during the brand new funk and I think I can beat mike tyson eras, then I believe he wrote summertime. outside of the change in tone it's the same style
