Lois Lane Posted March 7, 2005 I never thought he was lyrically gifted...guess i was right Instead of being on Nas's back he should've worked on his lyrics. What more can i say it was about time he retired...theres just so far good beats can take you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.Lee Posted March 7, 2005 First of all, the whole 6 minutes and so just consisted of various two to three bars that were some what altered that orignilly belonged to other rappers , this is called sampling which is a thing that every rapper does and isn't unique only to Jay-Z. To bite means claiming something as your own when it is not and there are federal laws against such it's called Intellectual Property rights. so he is not a biter but a sampler.

N.O.R.F Posted March 8, 2005 ^^^hes not sampling, he biting. Sampling means using ones music or part there of, ie as the chorus/hook, but biting is when you are actually saying/using another paerson's lyrics in your song. I never thought he was lyrically gifted...guess i was right The days of lyrically gifted MCs are over :rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conspiracy Posted March 8, 2005 You guys need to give Jay-z a break , i understand most people are fans of Nas including myself, but that doesn't mean we should go around underestimating Mc's like Jay-z. First of all Jay-z is a well known ghost-writer that means he writers most of the hits you heard by artists like Dr-dre etc and he is currently helping Cory-Gunz (Peter Gunz's son) with his album. Bro mobbdeep regrading those randoum verses you heard Jay-z replied to them in the BLACK ALBUM , song( What More Can I Say ) in first verse he explains it. I'm not a biter I'm a writer for myself and others I say a B.I.G. verse, I'm only biggin up my brother Biggin up my borough, I'm big enough to do it I'm that thorough, plus I know my own flow is foolish So them rings and things you sing about, bring 'em out It's hard to yell when the bar-rell's in your mouth I'm in - new sneakers, dual-seaters Few divas, what more can I tell you? enuff said!
