I've been looking into hip hop recently and i keep coming across the statement that "Jay-z doesn't ever write, he thinks it all of the top"
Is this bullshit for real? do people actually believe this? the fact that i keep seeing this as fact is downright hilarious.
He for real doesn't write anything down, but it's not off top. You can watch vids of him in the studio.

have you never read his lyrics? they're so awful that the only explanation is he doesn't write
Eewww that's not college preppy is it.

y donut u beleev ohpee?
I'm on my phone but look up footage of him doing 99 problems from fade to black.
It's not like he doesn't think he just kind of workshops them with no pad, he has it all up in his head.

Illiterate people are well known to go to great lengths to hide it

how does it feel to be poorer and lonelier than an illiterate person?

no one ever claims that his songs are freestyles, what he does is think of lyrics and then memorize them without writing them down. He comes up with entire songs in his head over time without writing anything down.

I suspect there is very little real about jay-z.
Especially since 2005 or so.

great because hes one in a million while the rest suffer.
>>71982573
he puts a lot of other people's lyrics into his songs.
Lil Wayne was also said to do it all off the top of his head, but Lil B is the only one who really does it.

Wayne sort of "writes in his head" more so than freestyle. Still pretty impressive if you consider his mixtapes days.
Dunno about Jay, but wasn't he exposed from having writers?
