They didnt even try to hide it with Jay directly copying Lupe's flow, cadence and writing style.

Context:

“Just built this rapport with Jay,” he said. “Being able to go to Baseline Studios, see him put together joints like The Black Album and stuff like that, be a part of that, give him joints for that. So, he’s always been in the mix, not so much the past couple albums or the past few years but still the homie though.” - Lupe

Yea I always questioned that as well. I really hope it isn’t true.

I GOT A THING FOR THEM BIG BODY BENZES
INDULGE MY SENSES
IN LOVE W A V DUB ENGINE

I don’t even like cars like that but love this line/flow

sure, but lupe saying he gave hov joints for the black album (eventhough he later denied writing for hov) and one of lupe's producers saying this makes me suspecious

The ironic thing is Meek said "If Hov had ghostwriters I would call him out too" in his 2015 rant, but apparently its common knowledge that Lupe wrote the Black Album to some degree.

Even Bun B said most of the GOATs had help and he did joints with Hov since back in the day.

Yeah there were also rumours of jay elec writing for nas untitled album

Him and stic.man from Dead Prez. Jay Elec denied the rumors, but that doesn't mean much.

wow two goats

It's one of the few hip hop ghostwriting rumours i believe is true. Obviously neither party can come out either due to contract, reputation, blackballing or friendship.

Imagine if Jay never left him at Atlantic, what a terrible turn of events that was for Lupe.

Breh went from Lupe writing for him to Offset

Fade to black was staged lol.

I’ve always wondered too because Jay’s reaction looked scripted and some takes made it in where he was obviously going for smth specific
@proper

I cant check rn but on one take he says some textbook ass s*** n legit goes “you got that?” and then bursts out laughing at it as they cut

this has always just been chatty patty to me. what other example in jay z whole career was it rumoured that he had a ghost writer? the closest thing was the young chris thing but that was just jay z stealing his flow. jay takes flows but if you look at how he makes songs it’s extremely hard to believe anyone has ever ghost written for him

Hov so flawless niggas just saying silly s*** to sully his name

now that you say it this is such a lupe song

chill out. Jay is a sponge. the whole purpose of this album is Jay Z showcasing how many different flows he can have on one album.
Have you seen the documentary? Hov takes flow and cadence from Kanye...it wouldnt suprise me he did the same with lupe, doesnt mean lupe wrote for him.

He’s a Drake stan

Big sean ghostwrote graduation

Lupe himself said this isn't true lol

tru life ghostwrote lupes kick push real ones know

has Jay Elec all over it

The post above me confirms this thread is full of people just insulting Jay and Nas' own pens my g.

If I remember correctly Lupe just gave him the "What more Can I Say" beat that was originally his. The "writing for the black album" comment could've just be a feature.

Ever since Drake got called out for having writers his fans been trying their hardest to act like everyone else in the industry has ghostwriters too

Stop it bruh fr

The Jay Elect writing Nas Untitled has been rumored for YEARS
