Type ‘Jay-Z’ in our search box and it’s no secret that we have an affinity for the old guy at Theurbandaily.com. But it’s also not a secret that ‘Ye ethered his big brother on “Run This Town”. Hov’s been bodied on his own ish before (remember Eminem?) but he’s never been directly asked about it…until now. In an upcoming XXL interview, the grey one is finally forced to address the perceived blow to his ego (eh heh heh).
XXL: You’ve been getting a lot of heat about your second single “Run This Town,” featuring Kanye and Rihanna. Critics and the blog world have said ’Ye out rapped you.
Jay-Z: I think that thing has gone a little too far. I think it’s more about that than the song now. What I’m saying is that’s just life. If [whose verse was better] was the thing, and we based [song quality] on that, after I’ve done 400 songs, I’m sure once the average of who was better on the song weighs out, I’m pretty high. Some nights [L.A. Lakers player] Pau Gasol can score more points than Kobe Bryant—not saying that Kanye is Pau Gasol, ’cause you have to be really clear with that—[but] as long as I’ve been in the game, that’s going to happen, once or twice or even three times.
Now, I see why he took Drake’s verse off of “Off That” and regulated him to hook duty.
