Oh shit, shots have officially been fired. The Drake/Common beef heats up with Common quickly returning shots over ‘Stay Schemin’. It’s about damn time, I was getting tired of that throwing-stones-then-hide-your-hands shits. Lets just get to it and forget the subliminals, it’s like this generation of rappers love talking shit but don’t want to back it up when it’s go time, or maybe they don’t know how or scared to.
All that aside, Common rebuttal was a bit on the week side.

This shit weak as hell…why is he mad at Drake in the first place?
1-9-2012
what are you talking about commons verse was better than anything drake ever put out
1-9-2012
Really? EVER! That’s not even an opinion. That’s stupidity.
1-9-2012
alright that was a little stupid, but drakes lyrics just don’t go together. its like he sings a line and then the next line has nothing to do with the one before, doesn’t make sense. thats why i hope common really messes him up and shows drake what its like to be in hip-hop. drake is kind of like the singing version of lil wayne imo
1-9-2012
Yea I understand that he does it sometimes. Most rappers are guilty of doing that a least a little though.
1-9-2012
true
1-9-2012
Wow common pops in and out of hip hop he has no long jevetty like drake will he is the future-ymcmb duh
1-9-2012
Ymcmb is NOTHING lyrically, they’re overrated. a lot of money, yes, lyrics, no.

it longevity bruh

Wow, this is useless. Common is 40 years old, the guy has been rapping for over a decade. He should know better by now than to participate in this. Theres no point, Common had no reason to start shit with an up and coming artist who is very successful and on top of his game, with no sign of falling. Drake shouldn’t have jumped the gun on the response either, that shit makes both of them look weak. If Common is really the veteran we all know, and Drake is such fire like we have all seen, why waste time battling and just collaborate. Damn. For their sake I hope it is a stunt, it would be less embarrassing and far more productive than this nonsense.

“If Common is really the veteran we all know, and Drake is such fire like we have all seen, why waste time battling” Simple, its Hip-Hop. That’s like saying Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are two great boxer but rather than seeing them fight they should train together.

Music compares to nothing so don’t attempt to make a comparison and fail. Artists can be on the same track and make great, or even better music. Two boxers can’t be in the same ring and fight other boxers. Figure out what you actually mean first.
1-9-2012
Lets see if drake can sing his way outta this one..that nigga just got wrecked!!!!
1-9-2012
I have to disagree with Commons response being weak. It was legit and it had everything a diss should have. Name dropping and reason behind it. I hope this escalates for the sake of hip hop. Love both artists too!
1-9-2012
Common doesnt rap, compared to tupac he has a singers flow. Ll cool j and big daddy kane had a good beef they both were great. But lyrically drake is better, and common feels that he needs to pick on some one else sinve he is fading away. His songs are alright but drake goes hard. Common mentions that drake is black and white and trying to act like a nigga but eminem is white and better than alot if black rappers
1-10-2012
Com is being a little hypocritical considering that he fired the first subliminal shot. But I do think Drake shouldn’t have came at Kobe’s wife like that…
1-10-2012
First of all Drake cant hold a candle to common in longevity lyrics style ect. This is a master in the game or whats left of it for these young (money)rappers to see. I like both of them but you are talkin about a complete artist to someone who is trying to become a complete artist.Maybe the young (money) rappers should check commons dis on Ice cube where again everything was tru and it made sense.Then try to last as long in the game as common. Maybe if we would actually listen to a whole album and not just 2 songs out of 10 we could see who can make a hit and who can actually rap. We have dumbed it down to ABC raps for a ABC audience. What ever happend to wordplay and making us think about the raps and not just A to the B to the C content.Keys,Bryant……Drake needs to chill on that.

@xclusivgenius you must know nothing bout battling, “son of a bitch i imagine what your father is” “she said how you make your opponent the rapper of the moment his style he dont own it” ” you so black and white trying to live a niggas life” anyone else saying this is wack you must be like 13 and thought soulja boy was the shit lyrically when last did you hear someone saying this type of shit, you so black and white trying to live a niggas life dam, really you think thats weak, really you know nothing i dont know why drake claim he a nigga anyways last i remember he’s a neutral 50%er half the man common is, if you dont get that i dont know what you get drake gone come back rappin about women an how much he sold just listen to his subliminal its trash, back when a nigga reached it was for the weapon this niggas a fool dont play gangsta when we can hear your not, i bet if common walks up2 the nigga n says lets go this bitch will try talk his way out n be like yo lets do a track together, what happened when ray j called the nigga what this bitch do he went after lil kim the nigga went after a woman instead of the man who was callin him out, this ones about real rap vs. metaphor rap ymcm nigga eat a dick
1-12-2012
@Rizzle Rap that utilizes a metaphor is a basic styling. To say that there is a difference between “real rap” and “metaphor rap” is overlooking the genre as a whole. Rap isn’t based off of race either, do you understand how many rap artists from different ethnic backgrounds exist? Do you realize how many of them are/were extremely successful and considered top MCs? If Drake’s songs are as soft as you say, where do you derive the idea that he thinks he’s gangsta? Either you are speaking on someone you don’t even listen to, or you truly are lost on the subject. Either way you need to figure out what you are talking about. On another note, I do agree with you about xclusivgenius’s comment.
1-12-2012
Damn Chozen, Week? Or Weak? Lol. When I First Heard This Track I Was Like Drake Killed It. Then I “Listened” To It, And Was Like Damn There Are Some Under Cover Shots Here. And Then i Heard Common. No Under Cover There. Make No Mistake Im Talking To Drake Lol. I Thought Commomn Killed It. I Hope Drake Responds, Rap Needs A GOOD RAP BEEF. No One Needs To Die In This, But If It Came To Blows….. Common Would Snap Drakes Skinny Ass haha, And Common Wont Have To Worry Bout Someone Jumpin In, Everyone In YMCMB Is Under 5′ Tall, and 16 years old Hahaha. Lets Hope It Stays A Rap Beef. Cuz They Both Can Spit!!!!!!
1-13-2012
Yeah they might be short and young but Common is 40, that dude would be gassed in about 10 minutes. Then he would have a stroke, his Alzheimers would kick in and he would forget the rap beef all together and go back to where he came from.
