Official Rap/Hip Hop Thread IV

[NYKnicksTAPE]

NYKtape you misinformed on how the beef started, it wasn't about tweeting albums out. Well it wasn't solely about that.

But I'm done with the whole feud, I'm waiting on Frankie Ocean to drop his album.

Was it because he didn't write his own verse to Rico? Or was it because Drake didn't show him love at one of his previous concerts? Every reason I've heard sounds petty

What happened is a combination of things.

Meek got Drake for the Rico feature, paid him x amount of money for the feature, cool.

Drake sends his verse over, Meek sees a line that Drake said "The girl of your dreams to me is probably not a challenge", whereas Meek in his verse says "Today I woke up with my dream girl, she rich as a Beatle". That's obviously not cool.

Meek asks Drake & his team if he was trying to come at him subliminally, his team says nah & shows proof Drake didn't even write it so there's no way Drake could've dissed him.

Meek comes at Drake like how you having other people write your sh*t, Drake comes at him like I just did you a favor giving you a feature.

Meek is like you know what whatever, it's industry sh*t & lets it go because he's hosting his Philly sh*t & Drake is the surprise celebrity. Drake on his ego trip decides to not show to Meek's event cuz he still feels a way about Meek coming at him for the Rico sh*t.

To add insult to injury Drake doesn't tweet out Meek's album & Meek just says fu*k it and starts hinting in the interviews that you can't compare him to rappers on top cuz they don't even write their sh*t. Then he just finally goes all out and disses him on Twitter.

It's mainly fu*kery on Drake's side, maybe Meek should've just played the good ol boy role but this a dude from the hood he don't know about that. Reminds me of when DMX was going at Jay cuz Jay was subliminally dissing him & he called him out on it. Jay was just like nah but X didn't give a fu*k.

I had heard about everything except for the subliminal diss in the Rico verse. Honestly bro, this beef has just been some entertainment for me. At the beginning, I didn't see Meek taking such a huge L, but he did it to himself. The main problem I have with Meek is that he made all of this public, but he wasn't ready to come back to a Drake response. "Wanna Know" was so sloppy

...and for those of ya'll trying to call Will out just stop. He may be from Philly but not the same part. Will grew up and the burbs and had a damn free ride at MIT. Him and Meek are nothing alike.

Yea that's the main issue I got with Meek, Wanna Know as a diss song is pretty good but the execution of it was sloppy.

Maybe that's Meek's H to the Omo & then he drops his own Ether cuz lord knows Charged Up was trash.

Doesn't really matter tho Drake gonna get his sales.

If Rico was such a problem why put it on your album?
Meek is a bitch. Plain and simple. This is not the first time he's done this.
He did the same sh(t to Wale last year. This is who he is. He gets in his damn feelings in SM.
That don't sound like the "hood" thing to do.

Like I said, industry sh*t.

Meek knows he need Drake to help with album sales.

But honestly they both bitches, Drake is pussy & Meek is an emotional thug. But he really from the hood, I heard about him in North Philly.

I don't give a fuq where he's from Breeze. He's making Drake look hard...that's a task in itself.
...and fuq that industry sh*t. If you're so "real" like you say you are take the damn song off your album. Don't go crying like you didn't know on twitter when Drake didn't tweet your sh*t out. Meek knew and he was cool with it but turned once drake didn't tweet for him. THE FUQ? Drake did your ass a favor by being on your album!!!

It's always these "hood" dudes screaming how "real" they are that are the most fake.

[Knicksfan1992]

So yeah, Kane wasn't wrong

"Everybody catching bullet holes... Including Drake and the whole OVO" -Meek

Agreed. Meek has connections. Jimmy should be nervous.

It's very well known throughout the industry Drake got goons with him now too. J Prince is not to be messed with. Ar-AB on his side now. And game is his neighbor in Cali.

[Knicksfan1992]

People have been dying for "real beefs" for years. Now you got one and people are complaining that one dude is taking it "too far". People just love to complain haha

[Nitro1118]

Who cares who is really from the streets or who is harder if it doesn't translate to rap? They are entertainers first, and anything else is just fluff that no one really cares about. 50 slandered Ross as viciously as I have ever seen in a rap beef, but it never was really put on wax effectively, and the end result was Ross hitting his peak while 50 faded into obscurity. All the thug stuff adds to the persona and hype, but it means nothing without the bars.

Meek has no Ether in him. He isn't a great lyricist, can't focus his ideas as concisely as Drake, nor does he have the following Drake has. He used to be a battle rapper, but there is a huge difference between local freestyle battles and diss tracks on the big stage. If he didn't drop the ball right out of the gate, this could have boosted his career despite taking the L, but now he's been buried. It is a major stain on his career.

I would love to see this get Drake feeling himself and go after a more appropriate opponent, though, like Kendrick or J Cole. Nothing would ever happen beyond subs because of the type of dudes they are, but I'd like to see a true battle at that level.

[IllmaticHandler]

Meek also has a habit of doing this. He tried it last year with Wale. Meek stays on SM whining.

Lol, didn't Meek go at Wale for also not promoting his album? He's so emotional

Yes. This is what he does. I hope Drake ends his career. I don't need screaming mofo's on the radio.

This is BS greenie. And you take it to personal. Why would you want to see a young black male career ended for? He has a family to provide for etc. Just because you dont like him, you should not want to see his lively hood over. As much as I dislike Drake, I would have not wanted to see him ended, its not that serious to me. just like drake has his place, meek has his. You sound like a melo hater.This is pure hatred for a person you dont even know or did nothing to you. Its hard as hell to make it from where meek made it, and you want it all over cause you dont like how he raps, or that he came at someone you like. You like Future, and that clown is acting more like a bitch than Meek is, with this whole Ciara thing. Talk about a dude in his feelings? LOL. Dont be so damn bias.

This means nothing. What it shows is that Meek takes loyalty serious and was a friend to Drake. The part that people miss, is that meek had to PAY drake for that verse, and Q miller wrote it. I would be tight to. Drake and Meek is friends. You dont do that to your peoples. If it was some person drake did not know, it would make more sense to do the whole Q miller thing. You wearing a Free Meek Mill shirt when he locked up, but his first album when he come home, you to lazy to write your rap for him. Thats fake ****. And its why Meek called him out. I see the majority of the people in this thread and across the globe,who dont understand meeks side...dont understand honor. Drake did a chump move, but to many people are caught up in his stardom to see it. Its a huge dose of groupieisim. All they do is focus on the "tweet". They already said that Meek confronted drake in PRIVATE first, in the news that came out. Yet Drake was still acting like a bitch....THATS when Meek called him out publicly about it.

[j4remi]

I have trouble buying Meek being loyal. All his beefs have been with people he was affiliated with originally. A philly legend, a goon that had his back during that first beef, a fellow MMG member who he'd collaborated with in the past and the dude who featured on the biggest single off his album. edit: To be fair though, Philly cats have a demeanor that probably leads to them at each others' throats more than most.

Stop this nonsense and bump this mini project me and my boy just dropped

you don't get it. He gets mad at friends when they don't hold him down. Listen If I am doing something, and a friend dont help me with it...then I am looking at them funny and I am getting at them to. I make short films. When my so called freinds act like they cant help me promote my work, i have barked on them to. If a freind of mine is doing something, I am always there to help them do they thing. To me that's part of the game, holding a friend down.

[IllmaticHandler]

Lets be real, A Drake or Wale Tweet would have helped Meek out crazy.They are bigger than him, Especially Drake...One tweet from drake co signing Meek and saying go buy his album, would be HUGE on sales for him. Its the LEAST drake can do, after being lazy on that damn verse. Drake not helping him out was the final straw to meek. Meek Paid Drake prices only for Q millers to hand in the verse....I cant see how people think that is good business...especially coming from a so called friend.

You already messed up. RICO started off as Drake's song. He recorded the first verse and let Meek buy it as a favor (which is why he said he won't do Meek any more favors in B2B). They even kept the View, views intro.

where is the evidence that RICO was drakes song.I have never seen that anywhere. RICO is a drug term. I cant see how that was drake song first. Out of all the reference tracks thats the one thats the most suspect, cause its very much the same verse. This aint no hook.

[j4remi]

you don't get it. He gets mad at friends when they don't hold him down. Listen If I am doing something, and a friend dont help me with it...then I am looking at them funny and I am getting at them to. I make short films.

To me that's part of the game, holding a friend down.

I just don't like that he's airing business out publicly. I've learned that some friends only show up when it's beneficial to them and cut them out of my circles quickly. But this is Meek saying "you owe me promotion or else" at the point that it's happened twice. The Drake one has a lot of miscommunication behind it imo, it seems like Drake is thinking "look I did you a favor with a verse, that's your promo" and Meek's mindset is "I PAID for it, that's not how favors work" ...and I can see both sides, but it doesn't need to turn into something public imho especially not with such a prepared character assault as leaking reference tracks.

If Meek said "I paid drake for a verse and he didn't even write it, that's like stealing" from jump instead of "he didn't retweet my album" I'd have a different outlook on it.

Yeah it did not have to turn public, but to meeks credit, he handled it first behind the scene. Its not as if his first instinct was to air him out. At that point Meek was doing Drake a favor and keeping that whole Q Miller thing under raps. Its safe to say it was a secret in many circles up till that point. People say that Drake thinks he is hot ****, and its why many people dont **** with him. I dont see how he could not see Meeks point and understand his frustration and let it go, instead he held on to it and didnt even help him out. Drake showed how arrogant he is... " im doing you a favor" ??? it makes me wonder what his real intentions, on wearing a free meek mil t shirt is about. Im starting to think he did it for cool points for himself. Friends can have heated disagreements, Drake held onto it to hard. He was clearly butt hurt.
