.can I is a banger that bitches and niggas fucked with…
^^ so is Cher chez la ghost. Point being, they’re two difft types of artists. Like I said before, jay may have got clowned for childs play (amazing song btw), ghost wouldve been clowned for can I get a. Not because these songs ate wack, but because they cater specifically to ghost and jays respective strengths. no checkmate for u nigga, not at all.
_____________________________________________________________
How can ghost get clowned by dropping a verse on can I get a?…if ja rule and jay-z are both on there…
If jay-z ever made a lullaby joint..he would of got clowned….if ghost appeared on can I get a fuck you to bitches ( which is his strong point-cursing out bitches) then niggas would have dapped him up…
Can I get a…is a perfect song for ghost…its right up his alley..

i can’t believe you still don’t get it. I used the simplest metaphor and you still dont get it. By using fif as your example you’re just furthering my point. Other rappers besides fif and puffy, etc, dont have millions to blow on billboards or tv spots, they just have their music.

I’d understand if Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po were nobodies, but dudes were from queens, and had cosigns from large pro and q-tip. Do you really think nas wouldn’t have heard their album? They even have a freestyle together which is pretty wicked, so I find it unbelievable to think that nas independently and separately came up with that concept on his own with no influence from OK.
He stole it.

Maybe concept wise, but considering the way that song was executed (beat, hook), i don’t know if that wouldve worked. And in that era, it prolly woulda been seen as a “sellout” move on Ghosts part. But, at the same time, yea, it couldve worked for him also I suppose. On the flip, this does support the argument that Ghost is mad versatile.

I don’t think you ever understood what I was saying….ghost’s style/ flow…was never built for the limelight….jay-z murdered everything on an underground level…and could do it on a world level as well….
Jay-z’s music reaches more people than ghost…not saying ghost is wack by any means it’s his whole style is not as versatile as well as broad.
