I dunno why other rappers take pride in not writing. 99.9999% of rappers need to be writing. jay-z just happens to be a savant.
Seems like a waste of time
Im sure it does probably help in other areas of life with memory. But if you cant rap,its not going to make your lyrics any better.
Only advantage I can say it will give you,is probably your delviery sounding better since your not distracted reading off a paper. But Pac wrote,and and was great at delivering whatever emotion he wanted. Although he was an actor as well. But Jay didnt write,and his delivery is nothing to write home about. Has anybody ever asked Jay "whats the point?". Or is everyone always too amazed to get that question out
?
Ill take it he respected Sieg like we all knew. And wanted him to do what Biggie and he himself could do.
*Waits for haters to say Jay was sabatoguing Siegel,hoping he would lose a step
