JAY-Z SETS THE BAR ON DRAKE BUT DRIZZY DON'T AGREE WITH ART:

What’s a little friendly competition…

Early this morning, Jay Electronica shook the Internet up by dropping a freestyle track titled “We Made it,” that featured a few bars from Jay Z, and it’s evident that Jigga doesn’t let too many sneak disses go unaddressed.

Last month, during Drake’s controversial interview with Rolling Stone, he told the magazine that he had a real interest in art, while making this statement about Jay Z:

It’s like Hov can’t drop bars these days without at least four art references. I would love to collect [art] at some point, but I think the whole Rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny.

Of course, Jay has a response to that. In the freestyle, he raps:

Sorry Mr. Drizzy for so much art talk Silly me, rappin’ ’bout sh-t that I really bought While these rappers rap about guns that they ain’t shot And a bunch of other silly sh-t that they ain’t got

[You can debate whether he addresses Drake as Mr. or Miss Drizzy but the real tea is that he shouted out a name, and we all know Jay don't ever address folks directly.]

On a positive tip, our girl Lupita got a shout out:

Chief Keef is public enemy #1. Don’t believe me just watch.

Keef’s Finally Rich drops next Tuesday (12/18), and as the case with most high profile major label releases, street teams plaster city walls with promotional products and posters. Well, Keef and his street team are now in the hot seat for running amok in Englewood.

Chicago SunTimes Says:

Posters promoting rapper Chief Keef’s debut album are being plastered to public property in his Englewood neighborhood, and police are not happy about that.

Whoever hung the posters will face citations, police said Wednesday afternoon as they searched for those responsible.

The 17-year-old rapper, whose real name is Keith Cozart, will release his new album, “Finally Rich,” on Dec. 18 — one day after he is expected back in juvenile court for a hearing on an alleged probation violation. Last week, a judge ordered Pitchfork Media to turn over a video showing him holding a gun.

He is serving 18 months of probation for pointing a gun at Chicago Police officers. The judge has allowed him to live in California, where he recorded the new album, while his case is pending.

Roadside billboards featuring Cozart also have popped up, including one near 56th and Racine.
