“Stuffed shells… thanks to crack, I crack crabs and lobsters…”

“I bulletproofed my Maybach, got a killer’s intuition holding on that Mac 11 Machiavelli premonition”

Damn Ross goes hard, I will give him that.

this woulda been a good addition to that album.Great sample, but I still prefer what Justice League did on Ross’s beat by a mile. The fact they replayed it makes it real nice sonically, everything sits well in the mix – but they didn’t lose the vibe of the sample.

Those dudes are good.

Nas and Ross used the same sample another time too. Nas’ “Find Ya Wealth” and Rick Ross “Magnificent” used the same joint.

As a producer, you can never blame a rapper. Gotta blame the producer.

@Young

There’s nothing wrong with using the same sample, in fact i enjoy getting to hear two different producers flip the same sample in different ways.

@MZ

Damn, they did go completely different routes. Nas’ is far more understated, but I think I like what was added in the Ross version a bit more. It completely changes the tone of the track.

it’s a conspiracy, def jam couldn’t get the sample cleared for Nas for a reason…. they sabotaged Nas before he spit a bar on a Def Jam release.
