Jay Electronica performed at London’t XOYO Club last week and gave himself a much-debated title in Rap, 2DopeBoyz reports.
“Jay Electronica is The God of Hip Hop,” he says. “You might be the 6 God, but I am The God.”
Drake calls himself The 6 God, referencing his hometown of Toronto.
Jay Electronica also calls out J. Cole at the performance.
“I’m sorry, but J. Cole ain’t got bars like this,” Electronica says. “I’m sorry, whoever your favorite rapper is, they all know that I’m The God.”
Last summer, Drake took the stage with J. Cole at the “Dollar & A Dream” tour and called the two emcees “the only two kings” in Rap.

Well then, drop an album and prove it. Act 2 can only take a man so far
Prove it Mr. Electricity!!!
Jay is dat boy, ghost writes for ya favorites legends also, I see, why not…let da battle begins without drake suspect ass
LMAO!! I can’t stop laughing. The nigga can’t even drop an album.
calling yourself the king and you ain’t even dropped an album…. another keyboard/twitter warrior who is glorified just cause he talks shit to drake…. smh, salute to these lame sheep…. baaaahhhhh lmao
When he drops it’s going to be over. But until then he can’t say a damn thing
The homie gat ill skills tho,u cnt take that away frm him,even legends respect him
Jay Electronica keeps proving his own irrelevance. He’s pretty confident that he’s got the mileage from one half-decent EP and a lot of forgettable guest spots. This dude has done absolutely nothing noteworthy in hip hop and yet we keep getting reports on what he’s saying on Twitter. Jay goes on a drunken rant and it’s front page on hip hop blogs. Why? Is it the 5 Percenter thing? Cause the dude believes white people are evil and made from a mad scientist, and his god lives in a flying saucer? Cause his wack cult invented a senseless alphabet that makes no sense? Why are we paying attention to anything this guy says? He just sounds like some uppity old head getting mad at young people now.
Half decent EP? I don’t even need to read whatever else you have to say
This nigga’s scared to call out Mr. Rap God himself, Eminem. He knows Em will shred him to pieces. That’s why he’s calling out two non-threatening, weak ass rappers.
you are right, sir. Em’s waiting to go in on any of these new weak ass rappers
One of those rappers (J cole) you just mentioned threw shots at Eminem; we are still waiting for his reply. J cole is nothing to play with byoy. eMINEM IS GOOD, BUT IF HE WERE BLACK HE WOULD BE JUST LIKE Chingy.
Em and Jay would never beef unless Em did something so fucked up to make Jay disrespect him, which Jay wouldn’t do. I personally like Jay better because Jay has much deeper, and introspective raps, but we can almost all agree its almost impossible to beat Em in a beef. Em is the most technically dope rapper in the game, and when you put him on a track that has a specific focus (like a diss) any sort of flaws he has go out the window. Noone fucks with Em when it comes to beef, and thats why you will never see somebody diss him on wax again (and if you do, they’re ending their career)
hop of Em’s nuts weirdo Marshall can’t hang with Jay E
Jay is a good rapper, but he can’t cut through the music market. Drake is the shit! cole? yeah cole is second from drizzy, other rappers is garbage.
Drake sucks ass. Jay would demolish tha lil fuckboi.
saying you a god
for the lil gs
boy you aint hard
don’t offend me
I rap to attack those pretending
Royce >>>> jay
Put Me on a track
I black And I white when I write
No trap No Slack
Put my city on the map
I’m tight like laces
Hurt like braces
Green faces so racist
You can’t fade this
Its a fact tho
That rich European bitch he was fucking asserted dominance over his Black ass. He needs a tall glass of shut the fuck up.
You can’t claim to be the god when k dot made people forget you was on control
jay electronica is the equivalent of the dust on drakes shoes. Hes a nobody that will never be remembered in hiphop. Fact is most of the world doesnt even know this old hasbin exists. Most of the pretenders pretending to be a fan of this guy are drake haters who try to side with anyone that is against drake. This guy should be shining drakes shoes for a living.
drake is trash and jay electricity’s shit has eclipsed what he has done in a small sample. however, he does need to put something out and quit talking shit. put up or shut up.
we both know that is false. How can a bum like jay be considered better than a multi platinum album selling artist like drake.
Your only argument is sales. Everything you say is invalid.
I like Jay Electronica, but I would only believe him if he would actually release music rather than just talking trash. He’s gotta prove himself. And even then, it’s a maybe. He has some good songs, but the only 2 truly great songs, Eternal Sunshine and Exhibit C. That’s 2 great songs in nearly a decade and no albums. Also, he got killed by Kendrick on Control, no matter what he claimed, plus he definitely didn’t prove himself King over Talib, J Cole, or Mos Def on Just Begun. So yeah, he needs to step up his game.
nah his control verse was 10x better even kendrick would admit that. dude needs to put out an album tho and stop talking
Most people didn’t even make it too his part after Kendrick destroyed control.
Prove himself? What does that even mean. The guy was raising a lot of attention independently and proved himself from time to time. Hes already considered one of the greats WITHOUT putting an official albun out. That speams for itself. He would probably move bout 100k right now bc u mf dont know real hip hop
No way in hell would this guy move 100,000 week one. Maybe if he put out a lead single with J. Cole and Drake featured on it he would, but that clearly ain’t happening.
He is the GOD.. Your favorite rappers favorite rappers respect j electra
I only click on Jay Electronica articles to see if DX is still using the Indiana Jay Raiders of the Lost Ark stock photo that they seem to be obsessed with and every time it’s the same damn awkward photo.
How u gone b the god of hip hop and u don’t put out music WTF these niggas b hating for no reason at all
He gotta prove himself…fuck outta here.
You know this man got way more bars.
Beat selections are better too.
Like to see niggas go at him instead of Meek
Even akinyele better than this fool
Hahaha he really thinks that he’s better than j Cole and drake
Lyrically, his a monster. I’ll give that to em. But either way what’s to prove here. Both Cole and Drake in their own lanes so it couldn’t be possible to be better than Drake unless he mastered the singing. But I’m sure he means lyrically
Bae Electronitrash calm down boo
What bullshit is this ,nitro plz
Dominance over the worst fake pop rappers ever. These pop stars run on estrogen.
Mr. ELEC… For awhile now you’ve been tooting your own horn quite loudly, attempting to assert yourself without merit or honor that would find you worthy. And while your past song releases have shown some ability in your capability, you have yet to show and prove a consistency.
I’m almost tempted to believe you’re actually dealing with an embedded self-doubt lurking in your consciousness that has you wondering if the material you’ve recorded and contemplating for release, will be fully accepted enough to make the impact you desire. I believe this subtle vail of discouragement comes partly from the level of reception received from your recent record leaks with Just Blaze, and the Control record that found a primary focus on K.Dot than on you or Sean.
You can say you’re the God Mic Barer till your lungs collapse. But if you’re not backing your assertions with something tangible, an album, then your self-proclaimations ain’t bout shit.
ONLY WHEN OTHERS TRULY BELIEVE IN YOU IS WHEN SUCH BACKING BECOMES YOUR POWER.
Sure, shows executed effectively enough can definitely keep you on the radar. But without a proper release to further build momentum, you become a blip on the radar that will eventually fade. And I’d hate to see you Detox.
Put a cd out first/Playboy
Okay, let’s say he’s better than Drake, J Cole and every other rapper out there. Then what? I always wonder when dudes say this what their personal measure of success is. Not dissing or anything, just truly curious as to what the end goal is.
Yous smart.
Jay elec needs to just shut the fuck up..and make some hits…i was waiting for his album to drop..but the thrill is gone…he is not on the hip hop radar..j cole and drake are out here killing it….what the fuck is he doing..globe trotting and fucking rockerfellers thats cool but who gives a shit…DROP SOME FUCkING MUSIC
