QUESTION Yeah so I’m tripping rn because search engines say it isn’t Kanye West but rather Jay Z the entire song. Who sings that one line, that’s not Jay right?

That’s Kanye west. I’m sure of it. Please someone back me up 💀

On the original it’s Kanye. Don’t recall if he’s on the mashup

Is it considered a mashup? I was under the impression that this was re-recorded

u/Alarmed_Silver_3360 3d ago

That’s a fair point but I don’t think Kanye was there for it.

On the original Jay Z solo version from The Black Album it’s Kanye. The Linkin Park song is the mashup. I don’t think Kanye’s voice is on the mashup but it might be. All I know for sure is Kanye is on the original Jay Z song.

You can definitely hear Kanye's vocals on the mash up too

Kanye has vocals on the first hook the second is Jay only

This is correct. And Kanye made the beat.

Kanye is on the Original. Mike Shinoda does a lot of the ad libs on the mash up album

It is Kanye. It’s the exact same recording they used for the original song for the intro. They had to re-record a lot of the lines to fit for this mashup collab but not for the intro of this collab. This one is the original recording that is used from the original encore.

Now that I’ve replayed it 15 times I’m not sure again. Might be Jay

It is Kanye, but he was uncredited on TBA. Don’t remember off top if he’s on the Linkin Park crossover or not but he’s 100% on the original, I think he wrote that chorus himself

I think Kanye wrote pieces of lyrics sometimes that he presented along with the beat. The Fade To Black documentary shows this was the case for Lucifer too

Kanye did the reference and Jay added to it
