It's questionable now that those ghostwriting rumors are around, it was dope when it dropped tho. But all that tough guy talk he rapping about isn't believable, especially when he was a actor on a children's show.

Verse was crazy and that Rich Forever mixtape put Rozay in the next tier of rappers at the time. That mixtape finished with MMG World is Ours, Stay scheming and Party Heart :ohlawd:

I always preferred Common's response to this but this shyt was just everywhere so Drake "won the war" in that sense. It used to have everyone in the club reel off every word only to have French's verse ignored :russ:

That era in the game was :wow:
French verse was my favorite

"Gave my nikka Max 75, gave my nikka Penthouse another 30

Got me thinkin like I'm 75, damn a nikka ain't eem seen 30":mjcry:



The fanboys don't get it, but French was the one who was really speaking facts from the streets in that song.

Same thing with his Work Remix verse. They so hung up on how he "sucks", that they completely miss the point he speaking about real life shyt, the other rappers are just making up some shyt that's gumbo.

Love common, he's been my avi since I joined SOHH over a decade ago

Drakes verse is flames, that "finish line" bar was icing on the cake and one of my favorite shots in a diss cause I thought it was clever.

Drake showed respect in the beginning by acknowledging his status as one of the gawds, and still went at his neck as the young dude w the juice.

One of the few known drake verses that nikkas witnessed him write dolo :hubie: according to French


I think Drake wrote it or most of it. The ghostwriters probably came later on tho.
