When Kanye West tweeted that Watch The Throne 2 was in the works earlier this year, it came as a surprise to most of his fans. Jay-Z and Kanye are basically brothers but they've hit a rough patch in the last few years. While they've never been embroiled in a full-blown beef, the two have gone back-and-forth with a few subliminals. Their political preferences differed as Ye showed major love for Donald Trump when he was elected. Jay and Bey have been strong supporters of the Democratic party over the years, voicing their support for Clinton. Meek Mill's Championships is creating headlines all by itself but another story being propelled out of this release has to do with Hov's verse on "What's Free."
For starters, the track is a banger. Check it out if you haven't already. Rick Ross appears to speak on Tekashi 6ix9ine's racketeering charges in his first verse while Jay deflects attention to his Watch The Throne collaborator. The legend spits, "No red hat, don't Michael and Prince me and Ye/ They separate you when you got Michael and Prince's DNA/ I ain't one of these house n***as you bought/ My house like a resort, my house bigger than yours/ My spou- (C'mon man)/ My route better of course."
Referencing Yeezy by name, many believe that this entire portion of the track is directed at the MBDTF writer. What do you think?
