Drake

The Game Appears To Troll Meek Mill Amidst Rick Ross Battle

by

Is Meek Mill the biggest punching bag in hip-hop? Drake has been through the ringer in 2024, and had to single-handedly battle half the industry, but at least the Toronto rapper commands respect. People think Drake is a serious artist, even if the consensus is that he lost to Kendrick Lamar. Meek Mill, on the other hand, is afforded no such respect. The Philly rapper has become low-hanging fruit for fans and rappers alike. It’s easy to see why. He posts bizarre videos of himself, and has questionable affiliations with the likes of Diddy. Now, he has to deal with smoke from The Game.

Meek Mill posted a photo of himself on Instagram May 14, and fans clowned it. Nothing new there. The unexpected wrinkle was a comment from The Game. He simply typed “life is good” under the post, but fans know that the Compton rapper does everything with an ulterior motive. He’s “harmlessly” trolling a rapper on social media, then the next thing we know, he’s dropping an aggressive diss track against him. Those looking for proof can literally refer to a week ago, when The Game went at Meek Mill’s MMG boss Rick Ross.

The Game Poked Fun At Meek Mill On Instagram

Game has been dying to battle somebody in 2024. Few rappers want smoke more than the Compton hitmaker, and Rick Ross apparently drew the short straw. (It’s probably because he put out a Drake diss, but we’ll likely never know for sure.) He poked fun at Rozay’s weight on Instagram, then he dropped the diss track “Freeway’s Revenge.” Ross has responded to the diss on social media, but he more or less laughed it off. He claimed The Game was “starving” and hasn’t bothered recording a response.

To further support the theory that Game is targeting Meek Mill, the rappers have had beef before. The Game called Meek a “snitch” during his “92 Bars” diss, and Meek responded with a verse on the remix to “OOOUUU.” The Game went as far as to challenge Meek to a fistfight during a 2015 concert in Miami. It all came to a screeching halt when Meek was locked up the following year.

The two men reportedly put an end to their beef, and have been on solid terms ever since. If Game is looking to clout chase, though, Meek is a prime option for a low-level, low-risk beef. Time will tell if Game’s comment lead somewhere.

DJ Akademiks Claims He Killed Meek Mill’s Career During Explosive Rant

by

DJ Akademiks is having a bad week. The internet personality was sued for rape and defamation on May 14. He’s denied these charges adamantly, but social media already had a target painted on his back and criticized him relentlessly. Meek Mill shared his thoughts via X (formerly Twitter), calling Akademiks out for reporting on the bad behavior of rappers while allegedly committing similar acts. This proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Ak went nuclear on the Philadelphia rapper during his evening Twitch stream.

The internet personality did not hold back on Meek Mill. He not only claimed Meek is washed up, but confirmed that he enjoys seeing the rapper’s new music repeatedly brick. “If I see you at the top of the charts, trust me I’m having a bad day,” Akademiks said. “I laugh, I have a good time, I have my feet kicked up, I j*ck off to the fact that your career is six feet under.” He goes as far as to say that he played a role in killing Meek’s career. “Your career ain’t coming back,” he added. “I killed it. Drake killed it. Game killed it.”

DJ Akademiks Dubs Meek Mill A “Weirdo”

DJ Akademiks referenced an incident in which Meek Mill slighted him a decade ago, and claimed the rapper should have thought twice about disrespecting him. “Any car you can get I can get, n**ga,” he asserted. “Any house you can get, I can get. I got the same money, whatchu talking about… You should have respect.”

It didn’t stop there. DJ Akademiks gave an explanation as to why he despises Meek, then he revealed information about the Philly rapper. He claimed Meek made a big deal out of unfollowing him on X, but continued to follow other people in Ak’s life. “You blocked me and followed my exes, you’re a weirdo,” he stated. “Remember, you said you had b*tches that had more followers than me.” Ak went on to claim that he took $1 million out of Meek’s label budget because of how hard he fell off, but that Meek could never do something like that to him.

The final blow during the Twitch stream was DJ Akademiks referencing to the line from Drake’s “Back to Back.” He took Drizzy’s line about Meek’s “Twitter fingers” and announced that the platform is where the rapper is going to spend the rest of his career. “You really gonna be on Twitter for the rest of ya f*cking life,” he shouted at the screen. “Say goodbye to the charts.” Akademiks has plenty of problems at the moment, but if there’s one thing fans can’t question, it’s his hatred of Meek Mill.

Ghostface Killah On Kendrick Lamar Collab: “I Ain’t Take Him Lightly”

by

Ghostface Killah is a legend in any time period. He’s dominated other artists for over three decades, and he’s gone head-to-head with the likes of Biggie and Nas. Ghost’s reputation is bulletproof (insert wallets joke here), which would probably intimidate any rapper who attempted to collaborate with him. Kendrick Lamar is the exception to the rule, apparently. Ghostface Killah talked about his 2022 song with Lamar, “Purple Hearts,” and how impressed he was with the latter’s work ethic. He was so impressed, in fact, that he upped his game.

Ghostface recounted the collab during a recent appearance on the Juan Epstein podcast. He was asked about the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar (because everybody is these days), and he redirected the convo to “Purple Hearts.” The Wu-Tang rapper was “honored” to contribute to Lamar’s double album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. “He put his call in and it was like, ‘Yo, okay. This is one of them names,’” he recalled. “I ain’t take him lightly because his wordplay, his style, y’know what I mean? Now, I just gotta do what I feel.”

Ghostface Killah Recorded A Back-Up Verse For K. Dot

Ghostface knew that he couldn’t phone in a verse, however. He put down his bars for “Purple Hearts,” then decided to write and record a second verse just in case. He wanted to make sure Lamar was happy with the final product, so he gave him multiple options. “[These young guys] can really, really rhyme,” he explained. “That’s why when I did the record with Kendrick, it was like, ‘Okay… I sat with it and was like — I sent him two verses. I sent him a ‘just in case’ one. Like, ‘N**ga, if that don’t go, this one [will].’”

This isn’t the first time Ghostface Killah has praised the Compton rapper. During a 2022 interview with Billboard, Ghost gave Kendrick Lamar his flowers and singled him out as one of the best of his generation along with J. Cole. “For a lot these [fans] in the younger generation, [their favorite], it’s either Kendrick or J. Cole,” he noted. “I gave him his praises, and he boomeranged that sh*t back.” This was well before the Big Three battle, but it’s safe to assume Ghost’s high opinion of Lamar is even higher now. The rapper’s victory has even led to Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers re-entering the Billboard 200.

Rick Ross’ Newest Attempt To Troll Drake Has Fans Saying It Backfired

by

Much of the focus surrounding Drake’s rap beef in recent weeks has been focused on his back and forth with Kendrick Lamar. That makes sense because the two superstars were firing diss tracks off and leaving rap fans on the edge of their seat over and over again. But it’s worth remembering that the start of the beef there were numerous others involved. J. Cole, Metro Boomin, Future, and The Weeknd were also all in the mix to some degree. More than any of them though, Rick Ross wasn’t shy about inserting himself into the middle of everything.

In the weeks since Ross has continued to occasionally take shots at Drake. Despite the fact that his disses have gotten far less attention he continues to try and troll the “Rich Baby Daddy” rapper. The newest attempt came during a night out at a club. He was on stage as one of the pair’s collaborations played on the speakers. Unfortunately for Ross, fans in the replies took note that the people in the club are only singing along to Drake’s part of the song. “Sitting on stage while the crowd sings your oops verse word for word is a flex? Whatever helps him sleep at night” one comment on the video reads. Check out the video of Ross attempting to diss Drake again here.

Rick Ross seems to be too focused on Drake to take on another challenger attempting to get his attention. The Game has repeatedly taken shots at Ross in recent weeks. He dropped the song “Freeway’s Revenge” where he broke down Ross’ rap persona. Ever since Ross has seemingly been trying to do anything other than respond to the shots that The Game has taken at him.

What do you think of Rick Ross continuing his attempts at trolling Drake even as his beef with Kendrick Lamar begins to come to a close? Do you think Drake will acknowledge what Ross is doing again at any point going forward? Let us know in the comment section below.

[WATCH] Big Daddy Kane Blames Drake Fans For Ruining The Essence Of Hip Hop Battles

Screenshot 2024 05 14 at 1.05.26 AM

There is no doubt that Big Daddy Kane is one of the most prolific and respected emcees within the culture of Hip Hop. He’s probably your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. So it definitely came as a surprise that BDK’s perspective of the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle would put the blame of the battle going stale on Drake’s fans.

In anb exclusive interview with Art Of Dialogue, the Brooklyn rap legend stated that he lost interest in the recent battle between Drizzy and K.Dot, citing that Drake’s fans being more concerned about fact checking rather than bars and the rhyme delivery spoiled it for him.

“It’s not a competitive thing about who spit the better bars it’s a thing about fact checking to see if this person told the truth,” Kane stated. “If the line is dope and he dissed you, it’s dope man. It’s that simple. He bodied you with what he said.”

Tried and true on the battle grounds of emceeing, Kane contends that battles were fundamentally different during Hip Hop’s “Golden Era”, stating, “In my days of battling people I said stuff that wasn’t true.”

Kane doesn’t, however, blame Kendrick or Drake for how their fans weigh and judge the competition aspect. “Enjoy the music for what it is,” he said. “If that’s the way the younger generation looks at battles, good for them. It’s not about Kendrick or Drake. Their comments and their views, they make it unenjoyable for me.”

Kane Did say that in his opinion, the best of the “Big Three”, J. Cole, abandoned the battle to his disappointment.  “I think he is,” Kane honorably mentioned. “Like he’s my personal favorite.”

Big Daddy Kane Blames Drake’s Fans For Ruining Hip-Hop Battles

by

Big Daddy Kane has bulletproof pedigree. He’s one of the most influential and impressive rappers of all time. His beef with MC Shan was legendary and he helped form the Juice Crew. Big Daddy Kane knows the genre better than most people walking the planet, so when he has an opinion, it carries weight. The rapper recently went on The Art of Dialogue to discuss the current state of hip-hop, and he made it very clear that he is not a fan of Drake’s fans.

Big Daddy Kane was asked if he’d been keeping up with Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar, and he said he lost interest. He didn’t lay the blame at the feet of either rapper, but their fanbases. In particular, he was put off by the way Drake’s fans fact-checked Lamar’s bars. “It’s not a competitive thing about who spit the better bars it’s a thing about fact checking to see if this person told the truth,” Kane noted. “If the line is dope and he dissed you, it’s dope man. It’s that simple. He bodied you with what he said.”

Big Daddy Kane Was Initially On Drake’s Side

The veteran rapper noted the differences between when he battled versus the current state of rap battles. Firstly, he admitted to lying about his competitors, as he felt it was all fair game. “In my days of battling people I said stuff that wasn’t true,” he noted. Secondly, he clarified that he didn’t blame either rapper. “Enjoy the music for what it is,” he explained. “If that’s the way the younger generation looks at battles, good for them. It’s not about Kendrick or Drake. Their comments and their views, they make it unenjoyable for me.”

Kane thought both rappers delivered musically. He praised Drake’s “Family Matters” for “saying some sh*t” about Lamar. Then, the fact-checking and ghostwriting allegations soured him on it. “I’ll go back and listen to Bizzy Bee and Kool Moe Dee,” he quipped. “You can have this sh*t.”

The most interesting part about Kane’s stance on Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar is that his favorite “Big Three” rapper stepped away from the battle. He told The Art of Dialogue that J. Cole is the best rapper of his generation. “I think he is,” Kane asserted. “Like he’s my personal favorite.”
