Kanye West Reportedly Armed With Response To JAY-Z’s “4:44” Barbs

    On the latest edition of The Joe Budden Podcast with Rory and Mal, things took a slight turn at the end of the 90-minute plus conversation. After Budden asked his co-hosts what their plans were for the weekend, Kanye West came up. After running into each other in Los Angeles, JAY-Z’s current rival evidently told the co-host he was locked and loaded with bars in response to Hov’s subliminal disses on the 4:44 tracks “Kill Jay Z,” “Bam” with Damian Marley and “Caught Their Eyes.”

    “Funny story — I don’t like name dropping,” the co-host said. “I had a cool little conversation with Kanye in L.A. he said he gotta a few words in response to what JAY had on 4:44 when his next record is coming out.

    “There’s some malice,” he continued. “He wasn’t smiling. He was smiling before that conversation started. He said some funny shit. He said, ‘Yeah man I was next to JAY for years standing right next to him why he didn’t give me no jewels he put on the album?’ He was like, ‘Damn he could have schooled me to all of this shit when I was right next to him.’

    Budden replied, “It will be on the album for sure.”

    The Life of Pablo MC is one of the only people who hasn’t responded to JAY’s subliminal (and not-so-subliminal) jabs on the album. Many fans believe a diss track from Kanye is well overdue. Three weeks ago, HipHopDX touched on why the barrage of insults being thrown at Kanye courtesy of JAY should’ve solicited a response from Ye, but instead of firing back, he chose to remain silent. By the sound of it, that could change in the near future.

    1. I miss the old days.. You hear Ether, then go to the station and give them Supa Ugly. Each album after that has hidden shots until Jay signs you. I hope Ye brings this important part of REAL hip hop back. Every MC claims to be the best, lots of ego and no backing it up. They’re handing out participation trophies!

    2. Don’t do it ‘Ye, those barbs aren’t worth the response… just move on, there is far too much ammo out there for a rebuttal. You started all of this, don’t throw rocks while living in a glass house. Also, he really didn’t diss you like he should’ve he just slapped your wrist… Never should’ve spoke on that man’s wife and kid. What was he suppose to do, let u talk down on his family and not respond? Also, notice he never brought up your porn star wife and kid, he just addressed the issue he had with you being reckless.

    3. If you’re not gonna take fault for your stupid actions then just dont say shit Ye. Hate to see you get stomped while you’re on the ground.

    4. I know people at rocnation… i know OG and EMERY personally…. dont do it !!!!! HOVA got another album ready to drop getting even more personal with feats like kendric and ross in it… hes gona destroy you

    5. So people really acting like Kanye didn’t start this shit.. So kanye can say whatever he wants and nobody is aloud to say anything back

    6. Ye shouldn’t respond… it’s Hov and you have way way to much material/content to use against you

    7. took so long as Ye has been too busy on brokeback mountain , with his mouth full of d’s and fingersin his booty

    8. you all need to stop it.

      no need to fear jay-z. he is not that battle rapper.

      nas already showed everyone that.

      1. Thank you! His stans catching feelings bc they’re scared he might take an L. What’s wrong with these fools? They ain’t even read the quote what Ye said. Jays passive aggressive. He lets things fester, cuts people off then spits about it on wax.From Jaz, to Dame and even Nas. Talk to people behind closed doors. I agree with Ye. He could’ve just talked to him. Jay stans married to Jay, now they sounding like the Beyhive lol. Get a life, let the men talk about it on wax. Your god will be alive the next day.

        1. “Talk to people behind closed doors” Is that what ‘Ye was doing when he had a bitchfit on stage? News to me.

        2. Bruh, you JUST SAID “He could’ve just talked to him”, but you refuse to acknowledge the fact that Kanye was the one that called Jay out in public first. Why the cognitive dissonance when it comes to you Kanye fans?

      2. Kanye doesn’t need to be fearful, but it’s not because Jay ain’t built for battle. Hov has stripes, don’t get it fucked up. The real reason he doesn’t need to fear Jay are these: 1) dick-riding fans. Even if ‘Ye’s diss is weak, the fanboys will ride the wave. Honesty is dead. 2) Jay won’t engage in an open battle, he’ll let ‘Ye destroy himself the same way Sigel did.

    9. So we are supposed to take Budden’s word for this? Remember him and Jay don’t really get along.

    10. It’s so amusing how Takeover is being quoted In the comments but yet it proved ineffective for the initial person it was targeted for lmao.

      1. Yeah. And Ether destroyed Jay…….fuck outta here. Both great disses but obviously neither did any long term damage. Get off it.

        1. Haha! Catching feelings? Sorry to say this but I think Jay’s happily married and straight. But you can dream…hahahahahajahahahaha

          1. Feelings? Nah scrub, just another true statement made. It’s clear who you have feelings for tho.

            1. Yeah. Feelings for hip hop. Please get of my d*<k. You can't have Jayz in your mouth and expect some dude you've never met to include his. Haha!

            2. Wasn’t a win/lose argument, I’m not competing. A point was made and the typical uneducated over emotional response followed. That simple. Trolls will troll.

            3. Pssh. Why don’t you go back to quoting Jay’s rhymes like you’ve been doing in the earlier posts. HAHA

    11. its jay z u fools… fact he even has anyones names in his mouth is blessing . when are people gonna actually get that lol

    12. yall dont remember kanyes first tracks!? “Thrrough the wire” etc…theres no doubt Yeezy can put ryhmes togetha…thats a sure bet! Now know n remember that kanye was right by his side for many many years…(all that cheating on Beyonce…the otha shady stuff Jay has done,weather its comments or actions from the past..think itd be dumb of us to think kanye doesn’t have a full clip of ammo on Jay! Im thinkin when yeezys diss track DOES come…its def gonna sting mr carter!
      #DONTTHROWSTONESINGLASSHOUSES 😉

    13. On some real shit you all have made valid points but don’t forget j built Kanye without his help guidance and political connects we might not have ever heard ye because dame wanted to keep the dude making beats for the roc,it was Jay that blessed him hence the track diamonds,he wasn’t sounding like he wasn’t up on game then.my pi oint is this this shit is bigger than rap ,ye power in the industry can even come close to what Jay could do to ye,fuck around and his album won’t drop for a year messing wit Jay ,it’s all about money power and respect feel meh and ye has money but power and respect not that much.jay z has solidified his name in the history books of HIP HOP,I like Kanye but honestly he lost me along time ago with music ,his attitude and lack of community envolvement.he has along way to go to reach the accolades of a Jay z nas,big, pac,big pun,k r s ,run dmc ect I truly hope these brotha get it together so the real hip hop fans can get a breath of fresh air. Peace.

      1. Kanye should diss jays skinny legs his lesbo mom his high pitched bitch voice and his obsession with himself. Rappers are like im the new beatles rolling stones elvis sinatra nirvana…nope aint gonna happen. Rock is rock rap is rap. And Prince rocked hard
