I'm not even responding or listening to it. I made up my mind on son already. Even listening to this track and pretending that it's something credible is doing Hip Hop an injustice. The fukk I'm going to critique it when I know there's a good chance it ain't his pen :mjlol:

I'm not out here joking about this shyt: I won't listen to another Drake track in my life. Dudes not a rapper. He's a brand/franchise for white people. I can't listen to this shyt knowing that there's nothing real hip hop about it, or that this an industry plant half Jew who doesn't write his own shyt.

No thanks.
But you had no problem posting all up in the Charged Up thread talkin bout how trash it was :mjlol:

Sounds like you read the reactions in here and went right back to your "Drake prolly didn't write it" excuses

Even Meek and Flex recognize that Drake writing these but y'all hating so hard that he doesn't write anything anymore :mjlol:

:comeon: atleast know some shyt about battle rap first brehs, Hitman can barely put together 3 rounds for HIMSELF in 2015 :mjlol:

on top of that dude is incapable of spitting non-gun bars, nikkas be on Wildin Out talkin about clappin nikkas and kills the entire mood of the show

not to mention that 98% of battle rappers can't rhyme on a beat for jack shyt so that kills off the possibility of anyone else sending bars





and honestly i don't think Drake would risk using a writer for these diss tracks :patrice: he prolly aint gon use any for a while until the heat dies down tbh
:mjlol: That shyt be killing me when he does that. shyt so random.

Drake Donates $75k To Philly School To Help Kids Succeed


Drake Donates Recording Studio To Philadelphia High School: 'I Want To See You Succeed'

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A troubled city high school has finally heard the sound of music coming from a recording studio donated by Drake after a monthslong search for a teacher to run it.

The Grammy-winning rapper gave $75,000 to help create the space at Strawberry Mansion High School, district officials said. Drake, a 28-year-old Toronto native, has said he was deeply affected by a news report on the challenges faced by the Philadelphia students.

Although the studio was finished last summer, Principal Linda Cliatt-Wayman said budget problems and the school's reputation for violence made it hard to find an instructor. At long last, part-time music teacher Ben Diamond arrived in early February.

"We thought we were going to be ready to go in September. They've been dying to get in" to the studio, Wayman said of the students.

Drake became involved after ABC News aired a program focusing on Wayman's tough-love efforts to improve the school, which serves one of the city's poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods. Campus assaults have dropped dramatically since Wayman arrived two years ago, but academics and resources remain a struggle. Less than a quarter of Strawberry Mansion students perform at grade level in math and reading.

When Drake came to Philadelphia during a concert tour in October 2013, he invited members of the school community to a private gathering before the show. There, he surprised them by announcing the gift.

"This is about you. This is about your principal. This is about your future," Drake said as his guests screamed with joy. "I love you. I care about you. I want to see you succeed."

Building the studio meant purchasing new keyboards, acoustical accessories and other equipment, plus cleaning and painting long-disused sound booths at Strawberry Mansion. Members of Drake's crew completed the work over the summer, according to Wayman.

Yet the gear sat untouched throughout the fall, she said. And when Diamond finally began teaching studio production last month, interest was lukewarm - until Wayman used the school's public address system to broadcast the debut song recorded in the facility.

That made students realize the long-rumored equipment actually existed, she said. About 50 teens signed up.

"You have to prove everything to them," said Wayman. "So many people disappoint them."

Josiah Showell, a junior who specializes in beats, teamed up with freshman Zalmir Deputy on keyboards and senior rapper Jerrick Fripps to record a tune within days of first entering the studio.

Previously, Showell had only composed music on his phone - and he never shared the tracks with anyone. But, he said, "the studio inspired me to bring out the love of music that I have inside me."

"Without the studio, no one would still know I do music," said Showell, 17.

The equipment isn't fancy or expensive, nor was it intended to be, according to Wayman. It offers basic music technology and guidance to a population that might not otherwise have access to it.

"Many of them don't have very many other reasons to be excited about coming to school," Diamond said. "To be able to give them an outlet for things they want to express is very special."

Deputy, 15, thanked Drake for his generosity and hopes the performer might visit one day.

"I really appreciate it ... because this is what we needed," Deputy said.

Representatives for Drake, whose new album "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" came out Feb. 13, did not return requests for comment. The rapper is also featured on the song "Amen" by Strawberry Mansion alum Meek Mill.
