He def changed his technique to sound like Young Chris’ but he developed it more into his own. You cant deny his best shit such as (which may have my favorite verses from him) that Funk Flex freestyle (or Most Kings).

Its called ghostwriters. Jay Z doesnt write shit anymore, hes got all these ghostwriters. The fact that ppl like P Diddy and Jay dont even write their own shit is a disgrace to hip hop and rap culture.

I JUST SAT THRU THIS BULLSHIT,AND ALL I GOT OUT OF IT WAS,
BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH.
LETS BE REAL. 4REAL 4 REAL.
HE CAME OUT WITH JAZ STYLE,NATURAL,SOMETIMES ARTISTS SOUND OR IMMULATE THERE IDOLS IN THE BEGINNING.
THEN HE STARTED JACKING TWISTA AND FU-SCHNICKENS FLOW RIGHT BEFORE DAME GOTTA HOLD OF EM.
FROM THERE HE GOT A WIND OF CAMP LO’S “GEECHIE SUEDE” FLOW,AND PROCEEDED TO TAKE THAT AND MOST OF CAMP LO’S FIRST ALBUM BEATS FOR HIS FIRST ALBUM.LATER ON AFTER NUMEROUS FLOW AND SWAGGA JACKIN SPREES(IE. SNOOP,PIMP C,SCARFACE AND OTHERS),HE DISCOVERED A STREET FLOW THAT HE COULD STAND THE TEST OF TIME WITH.AND THAT FLOW BELONGED TO YOUNG CHRIS.AND THERE YOU HAVE IT,JAY Z DECODED.
