If you check out "Money Stretch" Lyrics he basically described his style of rappin but niggaz was too blind to read between the lines when he said in his lyrics he was "quite wild universal & versatile niggaz study his style & if you paralyze you still gon feel him now" for the nerds that study his words." That's actually quite unique how Lil'Zane wrote those lyrics it's funny & kinda seem like a diss track to every rapper out there but also the truth but not only that Lil'Zane Born 7/11♋ his personality & style is kinda like in the form of Jeet Kune Do 7 perfect 11 imperfection

      @Scott Mimi People used to complain about Lil'Zane sounding like Pac but that ain't the case cuz the truth is Lil'Zane is a lyrical mind-bender & a chameleon with multiple flows & styles he doesn't try to sound like ppl on purpose it's just his way of expressing his mysterious nature & complex personality in multiple ways thru different ppl he's inspired by. If you check out "Money Stretch" Lyrics he basically described his style of rappin but niggaz was too blind to read between the lines when he said in his lyrics he was "quite wild universal & versatile niggaz study his style & if you paralyze you still gon feel him now" for the nerds that study his words." That's actually quite unique how Lil'Zane wrote those lyrics it's funny & kinda seem like a diss track to every rapper out there but also the truth but not only that Lil'Zane Born 7/11♋ his personality & style is kinda like in the form of Jeet Kune Do 7 perfect 11 imperfection

      Sadly I think he did. When they showed him that contract for $15,000,000 that's when he sold his soul to the devil. Once the devil gets your name on the dotted line, that's it, he doesn't really care about these people's careers he just wants more souls. He will steal your soul and then move on to the next victim.
