Jay Electronica's "We Made It" remix continues going viral - all thanks to Jay-Z's infamous rap diss aimed at Drake:

As Mstars previously reported:

Awhile back, the 'Nothing Was the Same' crooner "dissed" HOV in a Rolling Stone article about his fellow rapper's use of art in lyrics:

"It's like Hov can't drop bars these days without at least four art references... I would love to collect [art] at some point, but I think the whole Rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny."

And in the hit song "I'm on One," Drizzy rhymes:

"I'm just feelin' like the throne is for the taking. Watch me take it."

According to Rolling Stone, Drake is likely referencing Jay-Z's collaborative album with Kanye West, 'Watch The Throne' (2011). Drizzy explains in the interview that at one point, he wasn't too close with HOV and Yeezy - "It was a lack of communication paired with natural competitiveness... But those two are gods to me."

So now Jay's hitting back. The 'Magna Carta' rapper released a verse on Jay Electronica's new "We Made It" remix (released on March 23). Check it out:

"Sorry Mrs. Drizzy for so much art talk. Silly me, rappin' 'bout sh*t that I really bought - while these rappers rap about guns that they ain't shot - and a bunch of other silly sh*t that they ain't got."

Drizzy has STILL yet to respond to the obvious diss although he remains active on Instagram and Twitter- are Mstars fans surprised?

Or is this epic diss actually a GOOD thing for the Young Money rapper? As Vibe opinion reporter John Kennedy points out:

...Hova did him a favor. Gender-ambiguous honorific and all. (Jay will never clear this up, btw).

Taking shots at Jay is as cliché as clichés. And while the real Mr. Carter usually reserves his retorts for bitter ex-compadres, government officials or civil rights icons, in Drizzy's case, Hov came out of the woodwork (with Jay ElecHanukkah!) to respond to quotes from a magazine interview. Sling that tassel over, Degrassi Drake-you've officially graduated!

...While it seems like his rivalry with Kendrick stands at a stalemate, becoming embroiled in a spat with Jay Z puts even more distance between Aubrey and his contemporaries.

Very true... but do readers think Drizzy should still risk it and respond? What does he have to lose, right?
