Recently Jay-Z hailed Coldplay‘s Chris Martin as a “modern day Shakespeare.”

“I have been in the industry long enough to know when I’m in the presence of a genius and Chris Martin is just that”, he shared.

“In years to come, Britain will look back at him as a modern day Shakespeare. He is an incredible recording artist, an incredible songwriter, but where he really comes alive is performing live. If you get the chance to see Coldplay live, do it – you ain’t gonna regret it.”
