Schnazz Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Nas is doing an AMA at reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/233t3x/i_am_nas_amaa/ He was asked about ghost writing (it's the top question currently) "How did you end up (allegedly) ghostwriting for Will Smith? Edit: The song getting jiggy wit it." "Alright, let's clear this up once and for all. I hung out with Will in the studio. And watched him write it. It was a fun studio session, and I said a line or two or three to him. It wasn't that serious. Will Smith wrote that song. But seriously, I watched him have fun making that record on his own, and Will is a true MC." Ydfer3jjaj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Brakes Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 This needs to be pinned to the homepage of the website!!! I'm glad Nas cleared that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilsJim89 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I knew Nas really didn't do any writing for him....people love to discredit Will and his rhymes whenever they can without any factual information. I loved Nas's last album Life is Good and I hope him and JJFP do a track together one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Nas is one of a handful of mcs besides will that I own all albums for, I'm glad he put this rumor to rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted April 16, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I can understand what Nas is saying having seen Will write here he comes.. he'd probably just take a suggestion on a word here or there or how something sounds but it's all Will writing.. good to see that nas wrote jiggy thing cleared up!

Jazzy Julie Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm so glad he said that because i thought it really was him that wrote it, so annoying that people use this as an argument of why isn't a good rapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analogue Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 it's not just ''Jiggy''. Lots of people also think that Nas wrote ''Just Cruisin'' and some people that Rakim wrote ''Summertime'' I do think it's people trying to take credit away from FP as an emcee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I like how Nas addressed it, but FP addressed it in the Source back in 1997 (Puffy is on the cover of the issue). He says how when he was writing some songs, Nas would be like "I like this, but what if you flip it this way?" It was casual and minor collaboration between peers Nothing less, nothing more.

Any chance you could upload this? Take a couple pics of it and post it? I'd love to read that article ...not often FP was in the source LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinJack AJ Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I'll see what I can do. I saw my cousin today for Easter and I asked him to take a look at my scanner, which has been down for months. He's gonna try to swing by the crib sometime soon. Once it's fixed, I'll try to get it up here. I haven't read it in years, but it's a great article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
