Masta Ace wrote Summertime, they probly asked him for some Rakim type shit. Ra was asked to write on Walkin wit a Panther but he turned it down Kool G Rap wrote for it and so did Kane. Ra was asked to write on Down by Law but he turned that down too, dude could've retired off ghostin but he got too much honor for the art.
@jruperro So you're sayin LL don't write all his lyrics even though he's also a ghostwriter for some Run-Dmc joints & Lytes verse on Self Destruction?
@musiqgem He ghostwrote for Run when he was young but he didnt write Lytes verse on Self-Destruction. Usually big rap artists who started off writing for themselves get ghostwriters cuz they are too busy touring and promoting or in some cases acting or they lose that hunger. Also when unsigned artist spit some hot shit for them hoping to get put on what they get is put to work. But in answer to your question yes Im sayin LL didnt write all his shit B.A.D. was writin by M.C. Breeze and Bobcat
Man that's real hip hop. It would be nice if they had Hip Hop Police. Most of the wack cats they got out now would not even be able to touch the mic. Real Hip Hop forever!
I alway's thought Will Smiths "Summer Time" was him trying to get on a Rakm Big Daddy Kane Smooth flow.But,Now to hear Rakim may have actualy wrote it.......Nevermind the Flavor of love B.S. Flavor is the Hip Hops Energy god and illest hype man.True history right here.

It feels so good to see Hip-Hop legends like Rakim & Flavor Flav come together and still represent real Hip-Hop to the fullest! Nuff respect due.

Now that I think about it, Summertime is written in Rakim's slow flow cadence...
Yeah.......Rakim wrote that shit
