American musician DJ Khaleed's 'God Did' song was released on August 26, 2022, and ever since then, the multi-rappers and singer's song has been breaking records on the Billboard charts. In the God Did song, veteran singers and rappers like Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, John Legend, and Fridayy also feature making it one of a kind. Although God Did is grabbing headlines by itself thanks to the amazing song, rapper Jay-Z on Tuesday came under the spotlight as well. Engineer Young Guru had revealed that Jay-Z had sung his verses in one take, however, many fans did not take it seriously. Now, Young Guru has indeed come out with Jay-Z one take singing proof.
Young Guru on Monday took to his Instagram handle and shared two photos from the session when he recorded HOV’s verse. In the long detailed note, Young wrote, "This is first and last time I’m gonna do this. I could care less if you believe me when I say that he did this @djkhaled verse in one take. Let’s be clear for the youth. Doing a song in one take is just a bonus of the level of talent. The song is what is important. You have to realize how much work is done before he goes in the booth. Questions like, “are these the right words”, “are you going in the right direction”, “is this the best flow” are all answered and addressed mentally way before you record. Then you say the verse over and over in the control room to memorialize it. Does jay do EVERY verse in one take? No. But has he done A LOT of verses in one take? Hell yes!!! I have no reason to 🧢! Look at the zoom in of the screen. There are no chops or breaks in that audio. This “I don’t believe you unless I see it” thing is foreign to me. So here is your proof. It doesn’t matter if you believed me…..God Did!!! (SIC)"
For the unversed, last month Young Guru had revealed that he witnessed JAY-Z record his four-minute verse in one take with his own eyes during a listening session with GQ’s Frazier Thorpe, Rob Markman of Genius, and DJ Khaled. However, JAY-Z refuted Young Guru’s claim on August 31 during a Twitter Spaces conversation with MSNBC news anchor Ari Melber, Rob Markman, and DJ Khaled, among others, by explaining how he feels he cheated the delivery of the verse.
Coming to God Did song, DJ Khaled landed his fourth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with God Did.The star-studded collection earned 107,500 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 1, reported by Luminate. Notably, it is DJ Khaled’s 10th top 10-charting effort, as well.
