Was Jay really talking that art shyt before MCHG?

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Post some lyrics brehs

 

[Cloud McFly]

You draw, better be Picasso, you know the best
Cause if this is not so, Eh, god bless - Friend or Foe (1996)

Inspired by Basquiat, my chariot's on fire
Everybody took shots, hit my body up, I'm tired - Grammy Family Freestyle/Most Kingz (2006)

And I still remain the artiste through this all
If you force my hand I'll be forced to "draw"
If the war calls for Warhols
Hope you got enough space on your hall's walls
I make nikkaz murals, then escape the bureau's
investigation, out in Europe on vacation - Pressure (2006)

 

[osama bin fly]

Basquiats, Warhols serving as my muses
My house like a museum so I see 'em when I'm peeing

 

[CrimsonTider]

YES!!!

 

[B86]

You draw, better be Picasso, you know the best
Cause if this is not so, Eh, god bless - Friend or Foe (1996)

Inspired by Basquiat, my chariot's on fire
Everybody took shots, hit my body up, I'm tired - Grammy Family Freestyle/Most Kingz (2006)

And I still remain the artiste through this all
If you force my hand I'll be forced to "draw"
If the war calls for Warhols
Hope you got enough space on your hall's walls
I make nikkaz murals, then escape the bureau's
investigation, out in Europe on vacation - Pressure (2006)

Only thing about these examples is that Jay was on some ill, witty type shyt back then. Now this nikka is straight up talking about the pictures on his wall

 

[Cloud McFly]

I'm in the hall already, on the wall already
I’m a work of art, I'm a Warhol already - Already Home (2009)

Avant-garde, lanvin socks/Call me Picasso, I’m art on yachts - Meiple (2009)

If Picasso was alive he woulda made her
That's right nikka, Mona Lisa can't fade her
I mean Marilyn Monroe, she’s quite nice
But why all the pretty icons all white?
Put some colored girls in the MoMA - That's My bytch (2011)
