🦉The Official Drake Thread6️⃣ - Drake & PND Album Fall 2024

[sorkoram]

He wouldn't respond to those other guys cause it was only subliminals. Meek challenged his integrity in front of everyone so he felt he needed to respond with force.

I hear you on that, the reference tracks did release though and that's the real challenge to his integrity. There is nothing he really can do to respond to that though, it's a lose-lose. Meek Mill is a non-starter when it came to there actually being reference tracks, regardless if he was the one that released one.

What type of market pull does Meek have? Even prior to that he was known as a loose cannon and the beef only furthered that narrative.

Drake didn't have to put in much effort. I haven't heard too many people speak on Meek's lyrical prowess, they've only questioned Drake's commitment to actual bars since he's gravitated away from spitting for a while now. Nobody in their right mind expected Meek to destroy someone that can drop trash and watch it go gold immediately, too much market power.

Meek's subs shouldn't be taken seriously, but Drake sparring with Meek as opposed to the other rappers with much better skill is what made Meek the soft target.

Drop trash and watch it go double platinum. Correction.

Reference tracks never proved anything? Hahahahaha



I think once you get disrespected, you gotta respond. He chose not to respond to Pusha or Kendrick because he doesn't want those problems. Meek was more vocal and flagrant but he knew that was a battle he couldn't lose. Drake has had plenty of chances and reasons to respond to the lyrical rappers but chooses not to every time. That's not a coincidence.

Can you stop with this pusha t garbage no one in drakes position would respond to that clown ...son is 40 years old still rapping enough said

 

[skurrtskurrt29]

Let me get this straight. Every time I log on here I see somebody hyping up overrated *** Pusha T (just my opinion, not in the mood to debate that), and that guy is held in high regard pretty much everywhere in hip hop. But when Drake doesn't go at him it's because he wouldn't have anything to gain from it? On the flip side, him going at Meek was because Meek was hot at the time and he stood to gain something from that?? That's pretty confusing to me.

Pusha and Kendrick been throwing bars at that man for years and he doesn't speak a word. Just sits on top of his pedastal acting like he's above that. He went at Meek because HE saw him as an easy target, and he knew the fans and everybody else would **** ride whatever he put out. I don't think the fans would be so quick to do that if it were Push or Kendrick.

What Kendrick Lamar and pusha do is not the same thing meek did. Not even close

thank you pusha never said drakes name ever and when asked about throwing shots he would always deny it ...he's a whole ***** if you ask me

Very ***** made for that, he used to throw shots at Wayne the same way years ago. They probably don't even take him serious

 

[$tacy]

Drake and qm collaborating

 

[skurrtskurrt29]

So his name has to be said in order for him to respond? Serious question because I think that's absurd, considering it's been going on for a while and it's no secret who these two are talking about when those bars are being spit. Not to mention Drake is the king of subliminal lines himself.

Meek was emotional and his whole approach was all wrong, we all can agree. But Drake doesn't want those problems man. It's obvious as hell.

Dont take Push serious? Wayne flat out responded.

They know who to tangle with and who not to

stop with the excuses for Drake ducking fades

 

[Deleted member 107398]

Yo I dont **** with that dude in the red shirt with the black hat wearing white kicks, I aint gonna say his name tho
But you know that dude that works at ___ and drives a Beemer? Yea him, I aint gonna say his name tho
He a ***** I'm calling him out...ya'll know who tho right?

^ what Kendrick/Pusha been doing

They're doing it in a way that they're able to deny they're talking about Drake, if asked.

"Nah that goes for any rapper xyz" etc

***** I don't even like drake but why the hell would he respond to pusha in 2016

 

[cashbanks]

this dude traded bars with meek but shouldn't respond to guys that can actually rap

put the capes away

Actually, now would be the perfect time for Drake to respond to everyone just because of how big his audience is. In terms of the industry on a grand scale with his partnerships solidifying his longevity to an extent, dude is damn near bulletproof now. He has some heavyweights backing anything he touches, so he can afford to spray at everyone to a degree, as long as it stays within music and doesn't hit his marketability.

People had the chance to take aim at him before he became too big and couldn't do it, his team now knows that.

For the avid fans of hip hop, he won't take the chance, unless they are an easy target. (i.e. Tory Lanez, Meek, anybody that's a relative unknown).

Keep missing the point that MEEK came at him way different breh, a few bars in a 16 is not the same as starting an all out war and campaign to destroy your career. If you don't see the difference then ok

Your right that Drake is known for using subliminals but Meek had actually brought it to a level where if he didn't respond it would look real bad for Drake. Notice that he hasn't mentioned Meek or Back 2 Back at all since this went down. He's done interviews since then and chose not to speak on it.

He chooses to keep those issues at arms length but Meek came at Drake's neck and questioned his character.

Pusha, Kendrick or anyone else doesn't have Drake nervous. I know he has respect for Kendrick but Pusha has been at Wayne and his affiliates since 06 so let that man keep it up for publicity that's all it is.

 

[cashbanks]

a few tweets (true ones at that) is a war and a campaign to destroy a career?

but a blatant diss on national tv during one of the biggest hip hop events..... no biggie

 

[bossdonvah]

Why is so hard for pusha to make a direct diss and say his name ??? Also why does he deny it when asked about having thrown shots ??? And pusha t doesn't exist outside of the Internet ...Drake would be doing him a HUGE favor if he made a diss track ...it's clear as day pusha wants the attention

 

[Proposition Joe]

Why the hell would drake respond to someone who had to cancel his tour because he couldn't sell tickets

Honestly, I don't think the question of mainstream relevance is at play here. This is a hip hop thing. If Drake wants to claim being a rapper, this is what comes with it. If it was some soundcloud artist, then ok don't respond. But this is Pusha T, a vet in the game and somebody who is respected and has a following large enough to be paid attention to. I don't see why he wouldn't take take time out to respond to him, if he was about that life.

Repped.

 

[Hahahaha]

Sometimes you gotta be a man and handle ****. I don't care if Pusha's solo only sold one album. He's well respected in the game and has dissed you mad times. This is hip hop, you defend and go to war. Why does Drake keep getting a pass? Because he's a pop star selling mad records? That's wack. Nelly was on top of the world and he dissed the **** out of KRS One. Different time, different climate but I'm not with all the excuses for Drake. Son been getting dissed mad times in the last few years and hasn't done ****. Keep giving him passes but that **** ain't hip hop, he's acting real pop.
