Decoded: 10 Jay-Z Bars On DJ Khaled's "GOD DID" Going Viral

It goes without saying that anything Jay-Z does, be it dropping music or announcing billionaire business moves, is sure to send the world into a frenzy of conversation. Hov proved that once again when his recent appearance on “GOD DID,” a standout single from DJ Khaled’s new album of the same name, created an uproar on social media of people once again trying to decipher his bars.   LIKE US ON FACEBOOK. FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM & TWITTER. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE. Jay-Z’s verse on “GOD DID” is more of a song inside of a song if we’re being honest. The Blueprint emcee jumps in right after the 3:00 mark and spits his last ad-lib somewhere around the 7:00 mark — the song itself clocks in at an impressive 8:22! Other features from Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, John Legend and burgeoning crooner Fridayy hold up solidly against what Hov is spitting. However, we’re sure they along with DJ Khaled himself know that this is officially Jay-Z’s song now. We wouldn’t be surprised if someone goes along and isolates his feature into a separate song altogether!

Just another thing that Hov did!
