Despite a messy beef between Drake and Meek Mill, Jay Electronica decided its his chance to take a shot at the "Know Yourself Rapper." In London, the Louisiana-based rapper called out not one but two major players in the game right now. He called out both Drake and J. Cole.
"Jay Electronica is the God of Hip-Hop," he yelled over the loud speakers. "You might be the 6 God, but I am the God." Later on in his set, Jay takes aim at another lyricist. "I'm sorry but J. Cole ain't got bars like this. I'm sorry, whoever your favorite rapper is, they all know that I'm the God."
The most perplexing, and amusing, part of the whole ordeal is the lack of discography for Jay to back up his claims. Most rappers usually have some sort of collateral before inciting a beef. Jay however, has a mixtape, a few singles, and some features to boot.
Meek Mill, on the other hand, had some artillery to back himself-up before targeting Drake. The Philly-based rapper, represented by Maybach Music Group, has a number of mixtapes, two chart-topping studio albums, and accolades that include recognition by XXL's Freshman Class in 2011. However, his weaponry may have proved faulty against the Canadian artist, as Meek Mill's less-than-stellar Drake diss landed him in what seems to be eternal shade. The OVO rapper publically shamed Meek in two diss tracks - "Charged Up" and "Back To Back"- one of which currently sits on Billboard's Hot 100. Drizzy also focused his music festival, OVO Fest, around the "Monster" rapper's lame retort and failed attempts to slay the 6 God. Meek is currently the laughing stock of hip-hop at the moment.
So does Jay Electronica really want to go there? Maybe is fearless? Or is hoping to garner the same amount of attention, whether good or bad, from a lyrical battle. Whatever the case, the internet was quick to shade the album-less emcee.
@Hudspeth_32 tweeted "Jay Electronica has been irrelevant for a while now lol why come at Cole and Drake??"
@HumbleTeej e-scoffed, "Jay Electronica is sending shots at Drake? These jokes write themselves"
@Arjun5_ "Jay Electronica need to worry about putting out an album before he comes for drake and Cole"
@bloach commented, "no point in drake dissing jay electronica. this dude routinely makes himself go away"
True, the Roc Nation rapper is known for falling off the map every so-often. Fans will have to wait and see whether Drake even bothers to make a move.
