What reason did Common have to address Drake? What reasoning does DMX have in addressing Drake.
When DMX called Young jeezy, Young Cheezy live of TV was that hating or valid criticism?
Common spat into the wind. Drake felt offended and responded. Common dropped the bomb on Drake.
DMX obviously feels that Drake mishandled Aaliyah's music, specifically for someone who has never met her. You may as well put Pac on a BadBoy track. Drake had no business doing that and no honor in the way he put out her music. You may as well have Puffy making a 2Pac album.
Secondly, he also feels that some of Drake's musical presentation doesn't reflect his life, which is true. You may fall back on "it's just music" but there are too many who keep kayfabe like that beyond the booth, much like Drake. Drake could be one of those guys who breaks the norm and says "yes, it is just music, I'm not like this outside of music" but instead he tries to keep the tough guy persona which alot of people have problems with. "Make me catch a body", "we can't wait to run into you", "I'mma fukk you up". Let's be honest with those for a second, really. Drake isn't anything like that, and for his card to get pulled on it and for people to just say "oh he's just hating!!" why can't thet just accept that, yes, Drake isn't a tough guy as he's stated and this is all a show for the music?
Three legit criticisms.
And yeah I do think Jeezy is cheezy sometimes, but it has to do with the massive ad-libbing to pick up for lackluster lyrics (aside from the bland "million keys of coke" persona). Dunno what DMX was talking about since I don't tend to beefs anymore since nobody makes records but instead goes back and forth with "hater" over Twitter.
