With all of the talk about ghostwriting in the hip-hop community this week, it seemed like a good opportunity to revisit Bugs Bunny's 1996 banger, "Buggin'." But, surprise! This wasn't written by Bugs Bunny at all, but rather was penned by none other than Jay Z. While you can easily tell that the lyrics sound like a Hov song, the fact that the voice of one of the most famous cartoon characters in history is spitting the rhymes is just too good.

This song originally appeared on the Space Jam soundtrack, and with rumors of a sequel with LeBron James in the works, does this mean Jay and Bugs are about to collab again? Maybe Hov can save an actual slot on the song for himself instead of letting Bugs have all the shine. Stay tuned!
