He had to knock him out though. This reminds me of Ether in that sense. If Ether was a reckless, semi drunk Mike Tyson KO, this was a calculated Mayweather KO. My initial reaction was mixed due to the low tempo and fact that it hinged on the allegations being true. But now that they're confirmed? I can't deny him his props anymore. There's no hacksaw here, just a bunch of deep cuts. He emptied the clip. Volume 2 will probably be equally vicious but also more "bars" and rap shyt. But I also get the impression that Pusha has other stuff up his sleeve. Could the "surgical summer" thing hint at him "exposing' that Drake has had lipo too? We'll see.
Nah, I still think he should have paired the blackface pics with a diss attacking his identity issues. Those pictures alone are enough to wrap a two-three minute diss around.
I don't think Pusha realized Adidon would blow up like this so he decided to add the pictures to make sure Drake felt maximum pressure and the public had enough to chew on. The secret child and the attack on his family and 40 were food enough.
I'm ready to see the next layer. It's either going to be about identity or relationship issues; business and/or personal. The latter is where it could get messy for others not directly involved.
Honestly if I were Drake I would just keep responding until Pusha exhausted his resources. Whatever Pusha has will eventually be exposed by someone else. You don't want to retreat from this situation to have another rap nikka savage you later with info Pusha was sitting on. Now you have another nikka who's come up off of putting a wound on you. May as well let one nikka air it all out so no one else has anything to use except recycled shyt.
Drake can't win anyway. He may as well let Push empty the clip and hope he fukks up somewhere along the way. To get a somewhat clear victory (he can't erase what's already been done) Drake would literally have to fight Push and win. That would be the only move Drake can make that would have a bigger impact than Adidion (unless he dissed the industry in a suicide attack). Drake would need to do something to taint Pusha's image and reputation as has been done to him. Since Pusha is considered a "real nikka" and Drake is soft as hell, the loss of prestige Pusha would suffer would be immense.
So unless Drake is willing to square up and then beat his ass, he can't get out of this with any sort of win.
