Jay-Z raps about 'insane' Kanye West on new album, finally responds to his wildest rant.

Early Friday morning, Jay-Z released his new album (exclusively on Tidal, sorry) and it took less than a second for fans to circle his lyrical shots at Kanye West with a thick red marker: But if everybody&#39;s crazy, you&#39;re the one that&#39;s insane. Apparently, Jay-Z did not love when Kanye ranted about how Jay-Z might assassinate him. Hard to blame him. No one likes that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMl4q2pHCjQThe beef seems to center mainly around that screed, from peak 2016 Kanye, above. From the mouth of Kanye West aka The College Dropout aka Saint Pablo: Motherfuckers might feel a way about this tonight. Beyonce, I was hurt! Cause I heard that you said you wouldn&#39;t perform unless you won video of the year over me and over &quot;Hotline Bling.&quot; In my opinion&mdash;now don&#39;t go trying to diss Beyonce, she is great, Taylor Swift is great... but sometimes we be playing the politics too much just to win! ... I&#39;ve been sitting here to give y&#39;all my truth, even at the risk of my own life. Even at the risk of my own success, my own career. I&#39;ve been sitting here to give y&#39;all the truth.
