BEST GUIDE TO HIP HOP EVENTS, SHOWS & CONCERTS x SOCIAL NETWORK
On Tuesday MSNBC correspondent Ari Melber dissected the JAY-Z verse featured on “God Did,” which the rapper responded to on Twitter.
JAY-Z‘s epic 4-minute verse on new DJ Khaled song “God Did” is literally making headlines. On Tuesday (August 30) MSNBC correspondent Ari Melber broke down Hov’s verse during a segment, drawing parallels between “draconian” United States drug laws and the rap icon’s marijuana company, Monogram.
At one point, Melber explains Jay’s lyric,”I left the dope game with my record clean, huh/I turned the cocaína into champagne, huh,” referencing the rapper’s drug dealing past along with Jesus turning water into wine. Melber then nodded to the hypocrisy of alcohol being legal while marijuana sales are criminalized.
