Well it’s been a battle of subliminals. Let’s start with Drake closing out his set at Cali Christmas, with a tangent along the lines of “I will never stop doing this for ya’ll. I don’t give a fuck if you have something to say to me. Say it to my muthafuckin’ face nigga. Just cause I sing don’t make me no bitch
That was thrown in the air, the same night Big Sean brought out Common, interesting to say the least. Now fast forward today, after hearing news of his sophomore LP reaching platinum status, Drake took to Twitter to celebrate, in doing so dropped less than 140 characters which could be taken as a subtle jab back at Common or Pusha T, as many felt Lonnie’s served him up on Sweet, and Terrence Thornton later following up. Common called into WGCI The Morning Riot and addresses the dust being kicked up, stating:
I made a song that’s definitely a Hip-Hop song; in hip-hop it’s like stepping in the ring. Rap is a contact sport so I talked about there’s cats that are soft and sweet. Drake felt offended and it was directed toward him so he said, “Man, say it to my face.” My thing is I’m going to keep it hip-hop and stay on that tip but if he falls in that category then so be it. I’m not going to hold my tongue like I say in the song.
I look at it like this, when Jay-Z made ‘DOA,’ I don’t think he specifically was like “I’m going to write this song about T-Pain” but T-Pains fits in that category so he might felt offended. At the end of the day, it’s all hip-hop.
and to top it all of, Common was on Shade 45 with Devi Dev and Sway, where he makes it an open challenge directly to Drizzy, saying “He opened his mouth and said somethings, he put himself in that category so wear it”.
