Sorry for the late post on this but some of the OGHH staff was in Vegas for the weekend on a last minute type of trip (those of you in LA know how that goes).
Supposedly a song surfaced with a Jay-Z verse that allegedly disses Fat Joe and DJ Khaled. According to those in the know, that verse was from the Blueprint 2 era and wasn’t an intended diss track. Missinfo had the scoop here and pretty much clears things up.
Just Blaze steps in to clear the air as well…
“I was going to use this verse for the S.Carter Remix CD but we couldn’t get the Pro Tools in time. The illest Rap Nerd moment was Sadat X coming back in and doign the hook for us. Ahh the Good ‘Ol Days. Anyway I really have nothing to do with any of this, but it’s funny to see a 6 or 7 year old record that I wtinessed being made come back as a “new dis record.” Or maybe Jay was just psychic and new that Khaled would be big one day and and decided to set away a dis verse just in case.. 6 or 7 years in advance. Uhh.. yeah. Don’t fall for the Okeydoke folks…. (read more)”
Now if that wasn’t enough for the buzzing interweb community, Jay-Z also makes sure to clear the air on the issue in this interview:
Fat Joe also stated, ”I have no beef whatsoever with Jay-Z. In fact, we share a common goal…helping to get Barack Obama elected on Nov. 4th…”
So done, beef squashed, there’s nothing there but a dope track that Jay recorded a few years back.
The verse Jay spits on this track is raw. It’s old, but def dope and worth checking out.
