Lupe, Kendrick Lamar

You know Boogie. Am I missing something for thinking We Cry Together (Kendrick) is mostly just a not so good version of Whose Fault (Boogie)?

Honestly, We Cry Together is hard to listen to in general. I thought Whose Fault would be a hard listen in front of others, but We Cry Together just feels impossible to put on around others lol.

This to my thing? You don't seem like someone who would even like Westside Boogie. That's no diss. Nobody's music is for everyone.

Jay-Z doesnt write any of his rhymes (allegedly according to multiple sources including himself & legendary producer Rick Rubin) so not sure he should qualify if everything he does is off the top of his head.

Of course I dont believe that for a second.

There's multiple footage, and testimony from other artists about him literally coming up with stuff on the fly and it being a complete verse. It's been a talent since he was a kid apparently. Lil Wayne does the same way.

Some songs though, he pretty much had to have written down, but there's only a few like that.

I have no doubts many guys can and have come up with verses or even full songs off the top of their heads, but I do remember Rubin doing an interview and saying Jay writes absolutely none of his stuff. I just find that hard to believe. There is likely some stuff he has written.

Doesnt really matter either way though I suppose.
