Just when the days of Jay Z and Drake trading sneak-disses seemed behind us, Hov may have just called out the Canadian rhymer on “Shining,” the latest musical offering from DJ Khaled.
After the surprise record dropped Sunday night (February 13), internet sleuths were quick to locate and fastidiously decipher what some see as a diss toward Drizzy.
On “Shining,” which also features Beyoncé, Jay Z raps: “I know you ain’t out here talkin’ numbers, right / I know you ain’t out here talkin’ summers, right / I know you ain’t walkin’ ’round talkin’ down / Sayin’ boss shit when you a runner, right?”
The jab from Jay — who’s known for his many summertime hits — could serve as a response to Drake’s verse on the 21 Savage-assisted “Sneakin.'”
Drake offered some subliminal shade on the song, rapping “You ain’t own it right away, you had to wait on niggas / Man, I’m only 29, have some patience with us / Plus I never met nobody from my label, nigga / I just pop up with the music then they pay a nigga.”
Given that Jay Z and Drake swapped subliminal disses last year courtesy of “I Got The Keys” and “Summer Sixteen,” this is just the latest in an ongoing saga.
The 2016 shade got off to an early start when Drake dropped “Summer Sixteen” in January and declared that he “used to wanna be on Roc-A-Fella then [he] turned into Jay.”
Jay fired back months later on “I Got The Keys,” rapping “Till you’re on your own you can’t be me.”
With Drake’s More Life playlist project promised before the end of February, and Jay Z seemingly working on a new project behind the scenes, fans probably won’t have to wait long for the next volley in this war of words.
Check out some of the reaction below.
@ FuckQueensbridge “ask Russell Simmons.”
Jay Z entertaining Drake is stuuuupid. Nobody buying into Drake’s stuff. He a actor.
pretty entertaining to say the least.
And Jay Z always claims he is businessman first. Makes sense if Jay Z is trying to launch a come back
Never thought of it that way. Smart.
none of you guys are smart jay z is HELLA WASHED UP HE GOT DISSED AND KILLED BY EMINEM ON HIS OWN SH*T EMINEM DUG JAYS GRAVE HE IS TRASH A SO SO RAPPER DRAKE I’M NOT SAYING IS GREAT BUT IF I WAS JAY Z AND GOT KILLED ON MY SH*T BY EMINEM THEN MY CAREER IS OVER
Jay-Z is a pussy
Stop with the cutesy submliminal shit and call out names already you fucks.
Who cares. Hell I say Drake is killin it now and jay is washed up. Until jay can proud me with a solid album like drake, jay needs to be the one taking the seat. Drake, 2-1
You sound like you just started listening to rap this morning.
I think its been 10 years since Jay Z has had a solid album. Maybe his last good album was American Gangster?
Solid album? Jay Z’s so so albums are better then anything you hear today. Including Drake’s best albums. Please don’t use my name. I would never co-sign that bullshit.
So you co-signed Magna Carta Holy Grail and that Justin Timberlake track?
Lmao I was thinking the same shit. Drake has YET to make a classic album. Jay got it right the first time #ReasonableDoubt
Reasonable Doubt, the album that became a classic 10 years after its debut.
Facts, and I’m one of the few who bought it. But all of these retrospective, Jay dropped a classic first time out clowns don’t even realize how much the flow changed just from that album to that wack ass Dynasty shit. Nobody was calling that shit a classic until after Biggie and Pac had been dead 2 or 3 years and they were ashamed that a fruit loop like Puffy was getting all the NYC shine.
Nah I know how you feel. But I’m saying Jigga has not really been impressive to me in the last couple years. Drake has. Call it how you want. I call it how I want.
Dude said “until Jay can pound me.” LOL. You sir, are a REAL Frake fan. Waiting for men to pound you…
Oh please. If King HOV wants to go after Drake he kill him with a song like Super Ugly. Just like how he killed Nas and made him broke. Does King HOV even need a diss track? He has more Grammy awards than Drizzy, more money, better bitches etc. Drake already seems to be a broke Nas.
Ask Russell Simmons
right jay z will kill drake speaking of jay z didn’t the legend nas even say that this so called has been got killed by eminem on his own ish
You Jay-Z super dick riders don’t even believe that shit. That beef was over and done when Nas detonated Ether. Saying those alternate facts until you’re blue in the face isn’t going to change shit. He fucked Nas fat baby mama. So did AI. So did lots of dudes. Far as the rap shit, no one bumps Super Ugly or Takeover anymore. I get hype every time I hear Ether start still nearly 16 years later.
Is he scared of Drake or why can’t he just say his name? Why pussyfoot around it and be all subliminal and shit, what, is he scared Drake will bust a cap in his ass lol fuckin doubt it
Have you Listened to not heard but Listened “I got the keys” that whole song Jay was dissing that sucka
No. I would never listen to anything by fat man Khaled
Jay is raps biggest coward. He sneak dissed all the time. And when it’s time to beef with real niggas like 50 game he is “too big to respond”
He’s a great rapper and I respect him a lot but fuck him
Are we really saying the guy that dropped Takeover is scared to call people out? Didn’t he also say “I’m about a dollar, what the fuck is 50 cents?” Come on, now. He’ll call people out when he has to.
I luv it….. Keeps the game healthy…..one day Drake gon run out of ghost writers and be on his own…… lol
I’m done with rap beef. I’m just trying to hear good music these days.
JAY already called him miss drizzy longtime ago. he’s been calling his name
That was a super corny line from a nigga who’s pushing 50 fuckin years old
Get ready for people to say Jay killed him. This is baby lotion soft. Say some names Jay..
when youre schizophrenic any lyric can be interpreted as a subliminal diss
fake drake catching 3 L’s in one day! loses best rap album and album of the year at the grammys and gets dissed by jay-z! #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK #THE 6FRAUD WITH VIEWS FROM A BITCH
Jay Z shitting on Drake hahaha. Drakes fans saying Hov is washed up is hilarious. People still play Jay Zs old shit showing he makes timeless music. You can’t say the same thing about Drake. All his fans are waiting for a Classic but he always falls short sometimes by a mile lolll.
bruh that shitty song shinning made me take a nap while listening to it that’s that some ish thats not rap jay z has always been a has been wanna be drake hes mad cause he got dissed and killed on his own track by one of the greatest eminem now he thinks he can beat drake naw jay z more like jay no way
Don’t call me your bro. I’m not related to you. You want to talk about getting killed on your own track? Drake anytime he did a feature with Jay-Z or even Lil Wayne. I’m just saying there are a lot of Rappers better than Drake.
Any rapper is better than Drake. But because of his religion he is artificially kept on top by the ones who own the entertainment industry.
Drake actually makes timeless music. Period.
It’s funny cause Drake’s artist had to write Beyonces lyrics for her… Drake gonna get paid from this ish at the end of the day. Jay feels threatened Drake has already accomplished so much before the age of 30 when Jay is 47..
Jay-Z had one 5 mic Classic, one 5xPlatinum album on his own label by the time he was 30. Drake still shining Baby and Weezy’s shoes.
He dissed rick ross when he said you know the difference right between rap facts and fiction right then panned the camera to ross lol
Album must be coming out. Jay-Z only say something when he wants to make money. Get the f%#^ outta here camel
Another fake wack beef all about selling records these guys has no respect because they view the mass majority to be ignorant and to a degree its true because look who is the 45th president of the united states of America
Says the guy with a run on sentence. You don’t even use grammar correctly, fucktard
Speaks more sense in his sentiment alone than you can dispute or negate by playing the language police.
Why is Jay even wasting his time? Drake not gonna respond but his ghostwriters will. Hov just smackin around this pop star Canada Dry. Lol all these years and he still a bully. I know a line about drake getting pissed on in that theater coming soon lololol.
If I was drake I’d be happy Hov rappin at me. He don’t waste his time dissing anyone else. It’s like a compliment that drake don’t deserve.
Lol did Bey just call drake a tool?
Nas was right Jay Z is the king of sneak dissing then apologizing afterwards. Jay need to chill he ain’t up to par with Drake and his army of ghostwriters
6god and J def sending subminals pure fact but Drake can’t lose no matter what peeps say. Shining lame song only one putting up numbers is Drake 1.2 first week facts!
drake ain’t every gonna get up to that Jay z bread its 4 different labels eat in off his music and buy the time he start realising music off ovo it’s gonna be to late he aint gonna sell like he use to and hes already in the hole
Come on Jay say the niggas name, stop being such a bitch over 2 decades in the game, you know better….
cat fight!
Jay Z gotta tread softly of Drake gonna start his engine and sleep with Beyoncé. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But he’s got it in him that’s his true talent.
This isn’t beef this is rap. Jay damn near 50 still an elite MC and by default Drake the top guy. So you only go at the top guy everyone go at the top guy.
its a shot a drake for the numbers and Jim Jones for summer and runnin’ around talking boss shit when he is a runner.
jay z sit ur old camel face ass down…u both lil bitches
Eat a dick
