Aired on on NYC’s Hot 97 radio last night.“Rumble, young man, rumble,” Jay-Z advises his controversy-prone protégé in his opening verse. He’s actually the one who gets rumbling first: “F— all these labels, f— what everybody wants from you/They trying to Axl Rose you, ‘Welcome to the Jungle’/To be continued, we on that Norman Mailer s—/In search of the truth, even if it goes through Taylor Swift/Tell her this!” Yeah, he went there. Jay-Z isn’t really dissing or insulting Swift per se, but just hearing him call someone out by name in his music is rare enough to get a certified wheeeeel up.
Kanye went in too, kicked up his lyrical content up a notch with many quotable lines; such as, “I’m on my Van Gogh, I don’t hear s—,”.
After the beat switches up to a Snap! flip courtesy of Swizz Beatz (“I’ve got the power!”), Kanye goes back to those lingering hurt feelings from last year’s VMAs. “See, I dreamed my whole life that I could rhyme with Jigga,” he spits, “Now Jay my big brother and Bey my little sister/And excuse me, but you can’t see my little sister.” Translation: He still thinks “Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time. OF ALL TIME”. Even though he may have acted up, you can't knock the loyalty.
