I thought Rakim wrote that, I forget, but who did write it?
Mc juice from Chicago.
So I heard.

Juice didn't write that. In 1990, that was Rah if anyone.

Per Jeff it was just Will

I'm sure there was an old article on someone writing that. Maybe I imagined it, but I don't think so.
Kool Keith: I wore a straw hat with a feather to the last Source Awards. When I got to Madison Square Garden everybody was looking at me. When I got back home I seen everybody and their mother in their video wearing a fuckinג€™ straw hat with a feather in it.

Tim Dog: ג€œWhat Kool Keith gonna wear? Iג€™m gonna do that shit in my video. Iג€™m gonna wear that shit really quick. Whatג€™s Tim Dog gonna wear?ג€

damn none of y'all mentioned this but first thing that came of my mind is the Tragedy / Intelligent Hoodlum flow

.. listen to Cormega on Hot Day and PHD's album..
.. Nas tracks, perfect example is "Take it in Blood"
.. also if you listen to Rob O's Wunderlust!!

Juice claims he wrote it (Or at least helped). He's even supplied paper work.

I was part of a writing team that produced "Summertime" by Will Smith, "The Kissing Game" by High Five, "Pass the Toilet Paper" by OutHere Brothers. I would freestyle in the booth and if there were any hot lines to be used, they would use 'em. I didn't really understand publishing at the time and didn't really care because those cats kind of took me in. We got sued by Kool and the Gang for the sample and nobody made money. It let me know that I had what it took to be a writer though. I am still working with the producer of "Summertime" (K Fingers aka AZZA). Everyone in Chicago knows he's still my guy. We just wrote and produced an album for a new artist, and I'm re-writing "Summertime" for him (He's a shorty, so we think it could work again). We'll see.

Speaking of Juice, he did that song Gone But Not Forgotten (with the Pun, L, Pac and Big flows) before Reks did basically the same shit.
