In the words of Jay Electronica, there is no competition for the self-professed God MC. While performing in London at XOYO, the rapper took the time to send out a public service announcement: “Jay Electronica is the god of hip-hop.” And if that wasn’t enough, Jay Elect went as far as calling out Drake and fellow Roc Nation label mate J. Cole.
“You might be the “6 God” but I am the god,” he announced, before later adding, “I’m sorry, but J. Cole ain’t got bars like this.”
Interestingly enough, Jay Elect’s words arrive as the two-year anniversary of “Control,” the collaboration left off Big Sean’s Hall of Fame that ended up delivering a rap seismic bomb onto game, courtesy of Kendrick Lamar’s infamous roll call. Elect’s words didn’t come off as malicious, however one can’t help but argue that positioning yourself as a “god MC” means you should have an album for folks to match that claim with. But a conversation about the long-Act II: Patents of Nobility is one that’s been had so many times already. So without going down that road, check out Jay Electronica’s boastful PSA at XOYO below.
