Meek Mill has never shied away from his JAY-Z fandom, and in a new interview with HipHopDX he’s highlighted some of his favorite Hov bars.
The Dream Chasers boss was a guest at Jigga’s Shawn Carter Foundation gala last week, where he was asked what JAY-Z bars were among his most cherished.

“My favorite Hov bar of all time is every bar,” Meek testified, before then going on to recite lines from “Is That Yo Bitch,” taken from 1999’s Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter.
“Why you home alone, why she out with me/ Room 112, hotel balcony/ How she say, Jay you can call the house for me/ There’s no respect at all/ You betta check her dawg.”

Meek’s favorite Hov bars were aimed at Nas during their highly publicized feud, referencing his relationship with Esco’s baby mama Carmen Bryant.
Meek Mill also recently revealed that he stopped writing down lyrics when he heard JAY-Z and Lil Wayne freestyled all of their rhymes off the top instead of using a pen and pad. “I stop writing lyrics down when I see jayz then I seen Wayne do it next! #superfact.”

Meek’s comments came not long after Lil Wayne talked about following in Hov’s footsteps when it came to ditching the pen.
“The moment I heard that [he didn’t write his lyrics down], I stopped,” the Young Money founder told The Pivot Podcast. “The moment I heard that [hand gesturing a phone call] ‘Man, I heard that n-gga JAY-Z don’t write,’ [I] don’t write no more.”
As for the rest of the night at the Shawn Carter Foundation gala, the foundation announced it raised $20million to help college students looking to pursue higher education.
There were numerous donations given including $10million from Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez, which will allow the foundation to build out its international exchange program, scholarships, community goodwill and emergency assistance programs.
