'whoever writes your rhymes might as well hold your microphone, thats how i feel if it aint your own" Sheek,that shit is true.
Finding out Puffy didn't write "I'll be missing you" takes the feeling out of it. Sauce Money wrote that so in esscence Sauce will be missing Big and not Puff. Dr.Dre, Queen Latifah, Puff, Lil Kim, Foxxy Brown, and a list of others have all had ghostwriters. An emcee can't be considered an emcee if he/she didn't write her shit. Jay has been preaching that for a while now, i got a mixtape about a year old of him saying "if i read freestyle on a mixtape, i'mma know when it isn't, and for god's sake stop flowing on rap city the basement with a 'freestyle' thats from a verse on the album that you are there to promote, and how is it going to be a freestyle with everybody in your crew finishing your lines for you" and we all know Nas would've wrote his shit
