I'm broader than Broadway, I was the project hallway
Dual tape recorder, lacin' oratorials all day

from Beastie Boys (Ft. Nas) – Too Many Rappers Lyrics on Rap Genius

While these lyrics sound very similar to those in Jay-Z’s “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)”, it’s actually unrelated. Nas was in the project hallways, writing his rhymes

And yes, “oratorials” isn’t a word, we’re well aware. But neither is real'a, so chill out

“Broader than Broadway” is also used in the Beastie Boys song, “Hello Brooklyn”
