    When J. Cole was younger he had a rat-tail :scust:

    Tha Story

    100% not true. There's an old interview with Rhymefest in which he states he was sitting on the sample and the hook and wrote one verse. Then when Kanye heard what he had done with it he wanted the track for himself. He originally recorded it and left the Rhymefest verse on - but went with his solo version for the album. Kanye has credited Rhymefest for the concept, the hook and sample selection.

    Kendrick Lamar

    The rapper' credentials go back a long way - he attended Centennial High School in Compton, the same school as Dr Dre. Lamar was a straight A student during his time at the school.
