Hip hop is about controlling your emotions. While Drake sounded cool and controlled over a relaxing beat, Meek's response featured yelling, heavy bass and snares that sounded like they wanted to attack you. Drake used his opportunity to discuss things that actually matter, like police brutality on African Americans, something that has become the focus of people that actually want to make a difference and shows how Drake could easily speak about the politics of black America that people champion people like Kendrick, J Cole and Jay Z for doing. Meek focused on irrelevant things like "ghost writing" the act of someone writing part of a song, maybe a few lines or part of a hook. Real fans don't care about this, Obama doesn't write his state of the union speeches, why should we expect or care about Drake taking a line or two. It's called rapping, not writing
Man get all the way the fukk outta here with this bullshyt.
1. Drake (or whoever was writing for him
) has no problem letting off a real diss track when it's easy markings like Tyga or Common. But when he's checked over some real shyt, all of a sudden he's above beef and goes a controlled route? FOH.
2. Meek hasn't even released his track yet
3. The only 2 times Drake has ever talked about police brutality and things that actually matter are on diss tracks where his back is against the wall and trying to save his own ass.
4. Drake could
not easily speak about these issues because his whole persona isn't about it. Both times he did it, the result was corny as fukk.
That's not his lane at all.
5. Real fans don't care about authenticity of the craft? Talk to any real rap critic, fan or rapper and tell them that authorship doesn't matter. Nah, you just here for the party, huh?
6. Obama is a politician, and politicians get no respect because they're known fakes.
