Getting in contact with JAY-Z seems like an impossible task unless you’re a part of his extremely tight-knit circle or have another rare means to get the God MC’s attention. Fellow NY rapper French Montana doesn’t seem to have that problem as he revealed there might be a song collab between the two on the way.
During a conversation on DJ Semtex’s Hip Hop Raised Me podcast, the Bronx native spoke on the possible collaboration and how much of a holy grail it is for him to get that done.
“The only person I haven’t worked with yet, and we just found the song – I mean, I worked with him on other people’s songs, but me and him never had like, you know, one of the Montana hooks, is JAY-Z,” French said right before claiming he found the right song that made Hov want to drop a feature.
French claimed he’s been going back-and-forth with Hov on the track, saying that the studio’s reaction to the record caused the Brooklyn legend to request some time to record a fresh 16.
“He was like ‘Let me get motivated to write 16 on this real quick,'” French said Hov told him after everyone’s positive reaction inside the studio.
One artist who may be salty that French got a response from Hov on a feature request is 2 Chainz. For his whole career, the Drench God made it a goal of his to get Hov on a song, but it just never came to fruition. However, for his latest studio album, So Help Me God!, the Atlanta superstar was confident Hov would drop off a feature after hearing “Southside Hov”, which samples Reasonable Doubt’s “Feelin’ It.” Unfortunately, Hov didn’t record a verse, and 2 Chainz was left hanging yet again.
2 Chainz Says He Gave Up On Getting A JAY-Z Verse After Sending 'Southside Hov' Didn't Work
During an interview with The Breakfast Club, 2 Chainz spoke on finally giving up on his years-long quest to get the coveted JAY-Z feature.
“As far as trying to get him on something, I’ve given up on that part,” 2 Chainz told the morning show. “I don’t like rejection. I got this little mental thing, people that I deal with don’t even know this, where I might ask somebody something three times over my whole life, and secretly, after the third time, I won’t ever probably ask again.”
“French claimed he’s been going back-and-forth with Hov on the track” Lmfao I’m crying.
Lmao French definitely not on Hov level I rather Jay be on Ab Soul J Cole The Lox feature a few to name French hell no.
Stop hating. And Jadakiss was one of French’s earliest major collabs, going back to 2008.
French a big hitta in New York, and street affiliated with the YGz and Mac Ballas. That’s why they call him ‘Mac wit da Cheese’. That’s why everybody in NYC pay attention. Jay being from Brooklyn can’t disrespect the streets like that. He knows what the streets rock wit. The Woos fvk with the Wave, and the Choos fvk with the YGz going back to the origins.
jay z: verse
FM: “ummm”
jay z: verse
FM: “yo, yo”
jay z: verse
FM: “i did it again”
technically that would be going back and forth. i think i’ve been generous in french’s contribution though!
DEA JAY And RatNation always dumbing down hiphop and promoting trash ass artists with no talent
calm down funk flex
the man is a fucking circle associating with snitches & rats…I guess that’s something you’re familiar with…cock sucker
Left on read? Would that be unread? LOL. Great journalism and editing.
It’s means the person saw the message and never responded. Some phones tell you when your message has been read by the other person….so when the phone showed you they read it, and did the person never respond, you been left on read.
“Left on read”, meaning he opened it, read it, and didn’t reply.
If you had an iPhone, you would know what, “left on read”, means. Lol
Jay won’t get on a track where someone could out-shine him. Nowadays, id rather hear a 2chains verse than a new verse from Jay. Thats why he’d do one with FM
You must be young and brought up in this trash ass mumble rap era
Y’all some real life haters, French gets a verse from a rapper the looks up to and all y’all do is hate! Shit is pathetic for real
when it comes to french its always gay af. even with a Jay feature its always a feature that has to make him pop. he can never do shit on his own nor make a hit by himself.
Real talk is a clown. And French is legit one of the worst type of people.
