When I first heard Rick Ross’s “Magnificent” I immediately recognized the sample. The first artist/song that came to mind was Skillz’s song “Imagine.” Then Keenan reminded me in the C-Box that Prodigy used the same sample for a song on his H.N.I.C. album.
Three different topics discussed by each rapper…the Bawse’s song is more flashy while Skillz is kicking an ill story and Prodigy gives us some insight into his sickness.
Well lets get to the fun. Who Spit It Better?
