While everyone was patiently awaiting the release of Drake's Certified Lover Boy, Chief Keef had his mind on a far more elusive record than Drizzy's sixth studio album: Jay-Z's long-awaited follow-up to 2017's 4:44. In a recent tweet, the legendary Chicago artist made it clear that he's both a fan of Hov and looking forward to his next solo album.

"I'm a gorilla in the fuckin' coupe/Finna pull up in the zoo/I'm like Chief Keef meet Rafiki—who been lyin' "King" to you? (Woo)," Hov rapped on the 2018 track, directly paying homage to Chief Keef's fan-favorite track "Faneto."

Given the possibility of a Chief Keef and Jay-Z collaboration, is that something that you would like to hear on Hov's next album? And as long as the Hip-Hop community gets another full-length project from Jay-Z, would you even care?
