Hovi baby
listen to how Jay delivers some lines, it's abnormal. As in the flow dont go together with the lines cause it was someone else's flow. You can almost hear lupe's soul rhyming along with him in the background
he had his record called diamonds from sierra leone, Kanye made his version rappin about shyt that had nothin to do with the blood diamonds,(and most people heard that first) I think Lupe's version got talked about on blogs and XXL mag then imo Kanye did the remix to not look badI heard he either wrote Kanyes Diamonds or he had the song n idea first n gave it to Ye but I don't remember which one
It makes no sense for Lupe to have gotten that Hov feature eithernikkas gon see this and rationalize it as Lupe lying to save face.
I do believe lupe had influence on hov but i doubt he wrote for him. IM sure hes givinf hov flows tho (what more can i say was lupe's track originally i believe)
Jay was a fan of Lupe's stuff and wanted to sign him, but Lupe declined and did his own thing. Jay respected the fact that Lupe was willing to bet on himself, and they formed a mutual admiration for each other after the fact.It makes no sense for Lupe to have gotten that Hov feature either

When Lupe's manager got locked up Jay stepped in to help produce the album and help with the behind the scenes business of putting a record out. Since Jay was already working on the album he did a verse for it. Lupe explained his relationship with Jay and how he was so instrumental in the creation of the album back when F&L came out.
