Fat Joe and Jim Jones are the challengers today in Day 3 of Who Spit It Better…Jay-Z edition? All three rhyme over Yvonne Fair’s “Let Your Hair Down” from her 1975 album The Bitch Is Black.
Each track uses the same part of the sample, but does that mean Fat Joe’s “Bad, Bad Man” or Jim Jones’ “Bright Lights, Big City” top Jay’s superior lyricism on “Where I’m From?”
I really don’t need to comment on this one today. Jay > Jim Jones > Fat Joe.
Hit the cut for the poll and comments!
