Faizon Love is responding to Jay-Z‘s bars on Pusha T’s “Neck & Wrist” with a healthy mix of sarcasm, jokes … and a sprinkling of confusion added in there, too.
Pusha T recently grabbed Hov for a track on his upcoming album, “It’s Almost Dry,” and in true Jay fashion, his verse included a clapback at Faizon that was filled with complex lyricism.
He raps, “The phase I’m on, love, [Faizon Love] I wouldn’t believe it either/I’d be like, ‘Jay-Z’s a cheater.’” He finished up with, “I wouldn’t listen to reason [Reasonable Doubt] either/All I know is he’s a felon, how is he selling?”
During an episode of TMZ Hip Hop this week, DJ Hed explained how JAY-Z opts to covertly respond to shots thrown his way, as opposed to going viral through sensational interviews.
Y’know, because he’s actually a rapper.
The backstory of this particular verbal beef dates back over a year when Faizon — aka Big Worm from “Friday” — questioned Jigga’s drug-dealing past in 2 interviews.
Faizon returned to one of those interviewers, VladTV, and explained how “Neck & Wrist” initially flew over his head and ears.
Seeing that Jay didn’t provide any animosity in his tone or words, Faizon simply didn’t take it as a flat-out diss and compared the lyrics to a game of serving tennis. (Not exactly what the double entendre entails but still a cool viewpoint, we guess?)
Despite the 53-year-old actor’s disbelief, Jay-Z has an absolute supporter in Pusha T, who recently crowned Jigga the top “coke rap” MC … followed by himself and the artist formerly known as “Young” Jeezy.
