Joe is going into overkill and kind of punching himself out. People don't really care about what he's doing right now. And the timing of this was piss poor with the whole social media paying attention to Alton Sterling. He knew this was happening and still dropped that diss. Nobody cares about this right now, man. And Joe is kind of stuck in a place where he thinks all the rappity rapping is effective. It's not. Lil B's diss worked because it was funny. Back 2 Back was funny. Ether was funny. Nas is the best rapping rapper ever and he knew that you have to be more entertaining than good. Like...good for Joe being able to rap, but I think Drake can win simply by being cooler and funnier than him.
And whoever keeps talking about that French record, there's a very good chance that he just gave Joe 4 bars and moved on. It's not a response to Joe rapping. It's a response to Joe podcasting. I can see holding that back because it would be misconstrued as a response to Joe's songs and people would give him the L for not coming hard after Joe had two whole songs about him. Strategically, it makes sense to hold that back.
Also, I kind of have a problem with not having a real problem with somebody and using personal things you guys talked about while hanging out against them. It doesn't sit right with me. Like the whole using old Drake vocal of him praising you is just lame to me. If we were ever cool, I can't really bring myself to diss you publicly. Especially when it's not a real problem.
Joe has hours and hours of talking about Drake on his podcast and it's not always awesome what he's saying. He just hides behind "I love Drake...BUT..." and it's wack,. I don't care what you're saying about me, I don't want anybody talking about me as much as Joe has talked about Drake. It would be annoying. And Drake was probably annoyed and gave him 4 bars because that's the main way Drake talks. Joe acting like Drake did something to him is wild.
