Jay Electronica shows love to Drake for “Champagne Poetry”.
Drake dominated 2021 with the release of his “Certified Lover Boy” album, as it was the best selling rap album of last year. The album which recently earned double-platinum status, also helped the Toronto rap star become the #1 most streaming artist of 2021 in the US.
One of the fan-favourite tracks off the album was “Champagne Poetry”, as it also received treatment of several freestyles by other rappers, including Freddie Gibbs’s “Vice Lord Poetry” and Lupe Fiasco’s “Diet Soda Poetry“.
Drizzy laments on his place in the rap world on the Noah “40” Shebib-produced tune, which boasts some of Drake’s greatest phrases off his current album“I know I tend to talk about how I got a fortune on me,” he raps. “But with that comes the politics the city been forcing on me/Man, I can’t even R.I.P. and show my remorse to the homie/Know I carry the guilt of the city’s misfortunes on me.”
Now Jay Electronica, who recently praise Kanye West for the “Eazy” Verse, shouts out Drizzy with a huge compliment for “Champagne Poetry”. “For Drake’s bars on Champagne Poetry alone, his face gets carved in the pyramids,” he tweeted.
Jay’s remarks come just days after he released texts with Yeezy in which he told him he “punished that f**king ‘Eazy’ verse.”
“E A Z Y is one of the greatest records of all times. Don’t @ me. You’re unqualified to debate me,” he wrote.
Jay Elec went on to say that he’d want to be a part of a future version of the song. “I wanna put a verse on it. Lol,” Jay added.
On Sunday, Jay Elec praised Jay-Z for delivering “one of the best hooks of all time” on their 2020 duet “A.P.I.D.T.A.,” as well as rewarding hip-hop aficionados with the “greatest entendre ever” on their 2010 song “Shiny Suit Theory.”
“All praise is due to Allah for blessing dirty old me to make a song like this, on which My Brother @sc gave one of the greatest hooks of all time (in my expert opinion),” Jay Elec wrote in reference to Hov’s hook on “A.P.I.D.T.A.”
