Coach K Argues Jeezy Was More Relevant Than Jay-Z At His Peak

There’s essentially an entire industry formed around controversial rap takes. For those willing to step outside the box they’re often given platforms online to spread opinions that spark controversy and generate discussion. Very few people are subject to more of those hot takes than Jay-Z. He was once at the center of a famous online discourse over what was more valuable, a large sum of money or dinner with the rap mogul. The debate got so heated that it eventually reached Jay himself to comment on it.

Now he’s once again at the center of a hot take. Quality Control founded Coach K recently joined the Business Untitled podcast to discuss Jeezy. “We put that mixtape out in July. And by February, we did $6 million on the road. All cash. We hadn’t even put an album out yet. And then we did Trap or Die mixtape, I knew it was a wrap,” he explained. He also claimed that at his peak, Jeezy was more relevant than Jay-Z. “JAY was much bigger, but I’m saying relevant. It’s moments where some of these smaller artists is more relevant than the bigger artists,” he argued. Check out his full interview below.

Coach K Compares Jeezy’s Peak Of Relevance To Jay-Z

Not everyone is happy with the content of the interview though, N.O.R.E wished that Jay had chosen to do the interview with him, Joe Budden, or Talib Kweli instead.

In the full interview, Jay-Z shared some details on how exceptionally well read he was as a child. He specifically cited a time when his 6th grade teacher was amazed by his advanced reading abilities. Who do you think was more relevant at their peak Jeezy or Jay-Z?

Jeezy Revealed That He Was Sexually Abused As A Child

In recent years, more and more of hip-hop’s vanguard artists, reaching the nostalgic memoir portion of their careers, have revealed that they confronted sexual abuse in their pasts. Common, Jim Jones, Kevin Gates, and more have come out with their realizations that they weren’t ready for some of the sexual encounters that were forced onto them in childhood and publicly reckoned with the effects that could have on their mature relationships.

Jeezy has added himself to that list, detailing how his trauma affected him in an hour-long interview with Nia Long about his new album, I Might Forgive… But I Don’t Forget. “I think the first [example of trauma] was being left with a babysitter that was a woman that was older than me,” he admits in the video, “And her, you know, touching me and doing things to me that don’t normally happen to kids… I was introduced to sex at a very young age.”

He also talks about his recent divorce from Jeannie Mai after the birth of their child together, saying, “I can tell you that this has not been an easy journey. I can tell you that I’m saddened. I can tell you that I’m disappointed. I can tell you that I’m uneasy, right? But, again, God has put me on a different path, and that path is going to entail for me to take care of myself and to love myself and to be in the best situation that I can thrive as someone who’s been through all of the things that I’ve been through.”

Still, he denies that infidelity plays a part, quoting, “Real n****s don’t cheat,” from the chorus of his new track “Don’t Cheat.”
