Jay-Z turned 52 over the weekend
And fellow musicians and fans alike paid homage to HOV by listing their top five favorite Jay-Z songs. Tyler, the Creator participated by listing his top six, because who can really narrow it down to five? Tyler took to Twitter to share his favorite Jay-Z songs, which he listed in no particular order. “F__k All Night,’ ‘Excuse Me Miss,’ his Funk Flex, like, ‘Grammy Family’ freestyle, if that counts. ‘Allure’ and — Oh, his verse on ‘You gotta lot of shit that’s cool to me… ‘‘Do It Again’” off Vol. 3! That verse crazy, insane. Oh and ‘Show You How,’ that last verse showed a lot of perspective to me as a kid, so that’s six so I’m done,” tweeted Tyler.
When asked to omit Jay-Z’s “Grammy Family” freestyle, Tyler refused tweeting that it was impossible to do so, “That sh_t is crazy.”
