Because he hasn’t heard many of the renowned rapper’s most iconic albums yet, Lil Yachty doesn’t put JAY-Z on his list of fantasy features.
The current episode of the Flagrant podcast, which was released on Wednesday, July 31, included the Atlanta native as a guest. Hov made a startling confession when co-host Alexx Media pointed out that he was conspicuously absent from Yachty’s list of ideal attributes.
He said at the event, “I listened to The Black Album for the first time like three days ago.” I then listened to Reasonable Doubt after that. And, to be honest, I thought the Reasonable Doubt CD was superior. He is a crazy songwriter. I’m not a huge fan of that sound or that kind of De La production.
He went on, “But I believe he’s ill.” The stuff he talks about, in my opinion, is stuff that most people never truly get to experience in life.
Lil Yachty had a sharp critique of JAY-Z on the first episode of his podcast, A Safe Place, released last year. He said that DaBaby had a stronger verse than him on Kanye West’s Donda cut, “Jail.”
Yachty started off by saying, “Something I’ve wanted to talk about for a long time.” “The Kanye West song ‘Jail.'”
His co-host MitchGoneMad added, “The one with the greatest rapper ever on it and the one with DaBaby on it.”
Yachty went on, “I think DaBaby had a better verse, personally.” “I know that Jay-Z and DaBaby’s conversation is crazy, but in all honesty, I thought his verse was better.
“I think that will make me very popular anyhow. Perhaps not quite as intense as the entire Biggie scenario I handled in 2016.
Mitch continued by saying that although he wasn’t sure of Yachty’s perspective, DaBaby could probably physically take out Hov. Then he reminded Yachty that back in 2009, the Roc Nation CEO had invited Oprah to the housing projects in Brooklyn, New York, where he was raised.
With a grin, Yachty exclaimed, “Who gives a fuck.”
Kanye West released “Jail” originally alongside JAY-Z when Donda launched on streaming sites in August 2021. A few days later, Ye released “Jail Pt. 2,” which included vocals by Marilyn Manson and a guest verse by DaBaby.
