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.

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!

As with anything he does musically, the Roc Nation CEO did a great job at using his signature metaphors and double entendres to say exactly what he wanted without having to be so explicit in stating the facts. Whether he’s taking claim to making billionaires out of Kanye West, Rihanna and even the “Roc Boy” himself LeBron James, or assuring that he won’t be beefing with Meek Mill anytime soon following his recent split from management at Roc Nation, nothing Jay said went unnoticed or without some level of praise.
