wow...do your homework...

"If skills sold, truth be told
I'd probably be, lyrically, Talib Kweli
Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
(But i did five Mil)
I ain't been rhymin like Common sense"
-Jay-Z (Moment of Clarity)

"If lyrics sold then truth be told
I'd probably be just as rich and famous as Jay-Z
Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
Next best thing I do a record with Common Sense"
-Talib Kweli (Ghetto Show)

This is OBVIOUSLY a reference to that song...thats the difference between tribute and biting...kweli makes an obvious reference even mentioning jay-z's name in it...(jay-z mentioned kweli's name in the original)...jay-z tries to slip shit in under the radar...you have to be a HARDCORE biggie listener to catch all the biggie lyrics he spits (most of which arent credited in the liner notes)...
