Were you surprised when Wayne was treated like lil homie on God Did?

Jay getting the last verse and 4 times the length of Weezy's verse was obviously a statement.

10 years ago Wayne would have been considered being GOAT, where you surprised that he was relegated to Ross status on what Khaled would've saw as his biggest song in years? I must say, the lack of debate on this when the song came out shocked me, has Weezy lost his claim as GOAT?

what happened was, whenever Khaled ask you for a verse, most of these rappers will phone it in and Hov took it serious, was really feeling the beat and decided to go out of his way and POP OUT AND SHOW MFS. He knows a platform like Khaled reaches audiences he where they normally don't listen to Hov. Taught everyone a lesson on not take a Khaled album lightly :hubie:

Im more willing to lean with this. My question is did Ross & Wayne know Jay would be featured on the song before they sent their verse or not? If not then the cards fell where they fell. Rozay went harder on his “What’s Free” verse for example, he obviously knew Jay was on the song as a gesture to Meek after being released from prison. Khaled is a Jay stan, he’s been dying for a Jay verse his whole career until “I Got The Keys”. Jay made that man earn it so Khaled is feeling immortalized now.

Wayne didn't say anything interesting on the song and didn't say anything he hasn't said on 100 songs already. Jay was the only one with an original sounding verse on the entire record.

Jay rarely drops anything at this point, so anything he does is going to be treated like a big deal in comparison to other rappers:manny:

Wayne don’t even care about rap like he used to…


All he wants to do is skate, smoke weed, and sip Purple

With all due respect, Wayne's goat claim was never that solid. He just isn't on that caliber.
There was a strong claim though, also within the game. Influential, albums, guest verses. To see him reduced to elevator music while everyone waiting for Hov verse.. It surprised me.
