RELATED: Fivio Foreign Explains Why Jay-Z Wasn’t on ‘City of Gods’ with Kanye West & Alicia Keys
JAY-Z, Sowmya Krishnamurthy ‘U Don’t Know’ Verse is explained from the iconic rapper about his infamous Blueprint album line. From bars to beats, one of the greatest songs from Jigga and possibly the history of rap music, is “U Don’t Know” with Just Blaze.
In our opinion, this was peak street Jigga, where he was dropping double and even triple entendre verses that went over the heads of many. So much, that respected music journalist Sowmya Krishnamurthy had a 20-year-old question about a line on the song.
Take a look at the hilarious response from Jay and Sowmya Krishnamurthy getting a rare quote from the Hov.

A: “I’ll sell water to a WHALE”
B: “I’ll sell water to a WELL”
