Young Guru Confirms Jay-Z Recorded His "God Did" Verse in One Take

Jay-Z Recorded His "God Did" Verse in One Take —Young Guru Has Receipts

Jay-Z's long time engineer Young Guru took to IG over the weekend (9/4) with proof that Jay spit his critically acclaimed verse on DJ Khaled's "God Did" in one take.

Guru posted two photos from the recording session with one vocal take pictured on the monitor. Guru has long held the position that Jay is the GOAT and he regularly breaks down Jay's verses online highlighting the double entendres and clever wordplay.

"This is the first and last time I'm gonna do this," Guru captioned the post. "I could care less if you believe me when I say that he did this Khaled verse in one take."

He then goes on to explain the importance of recording a verse in one take. "Let's be clear for the youth," he wrote. "Doing a song in one take is just a bonus level of talent. The song is what's important. You have to realize how much work is done before he goes in the booth."

Guru then makes it clear that Jay doesn't record every verse in one take. "Does Jay do EVERY verse in one take? No but he has done a lot of verses in one take. I have to reason to cap."

Jay's verse is the gift that keeps on giving, with the four minute verse being dissected and discussed online since the release of the song. In a rare move, Jay-Z responded via Twitter to praise that LeBron James and MSNBC reporter Ari Melber gave the verse. "Listen! Then listen again to make sure you got the point," LeBron tweeted, to which Jay replied, "My only goal is to make the real 'ones' feel seen, forgive me that's my passion talking."
