The beef battle has finally taken off. Drake has no choice but to “say his name” now. I can’t say that Common killed him but he did make it official so we should be expecting more to come.
Common – Stay Schemin (Remix) (Drake Diss)
It’s official… this is my favorite Drake record. As he said in the video, shot out to Chase N. Cashe because the beat is flames.
Drizzy Drake drops the visuals to one of the hottest songs out right now. There’s just have a certain un-describable undeniable bounce to this joint I don’t see how you can’t like it. I’m still waiting for a Young Money “Rack City” remix though!!
I’m convinced Pusha is going at Drake. He has reference his music too many times. Hopefully Drizzy will fire back… hip-hop needs this.
Pusha T – Sweet Freestyle (Drake Diss)
Drake, Big Sean & J Cole headlined this years Cali Christmas Concert in LA last night. The guest appearances looked like a DJ Khalid remix feature list. Full performances below.

Cole sits down with Muve Music Sessions and gives some back story on “Can’t Get Enough” featuring Trey Songz and “In The Morning” featuring Drake.
Drake is known for making music about the women that he’s had relations with. They’ve served as his greatest muse, so we decided to put some faces to the lyrics.
“It’s like 09′ in your basement and I’m in love with Nebby. I still love her but it fell through because I wasn’t ready.” – Drake (“Look At What You’ve Done“)
Drake – Best I Ever Had
“Somebody tell Maliah I’m on fire, she should work tonight.” – Drake (“Miss Me“)
Drake – Houstalantavegas
“This song remind me of Kat from Philly, a girl I used to love. Until she started acting silly, her heart’s a little chilly. She a little too carefree, in 10 years who’s paying for all that therapy? Umm, nigga not me.” – Drake (“Good Girls Go Bad“)
Game ft. Drake – Good Girls Go Bad
“One of my baddest women ever I call her Rihanna… but that’s cause her name is Rihanna.” – Drake (“Made Men“)
Drake ft. Alicia Keys – Fireworks
Drake’s Take Care billboard has been up for a couple of months but it has cause a stir up as of late. Below is the statement issued by a city councilmen.
“We would suggest that the treatment of the word Toronto used on the billboard is very similar to the wordmark that forms part of the Toronto logo. The similarity of the wordmarks, in conjunction with other creative elements used for the billboard, may cause some confusion about the source of the information. While the city is proud of its local and international talent, we have a general practice of reviewing and addressing reported or known cases related to the possible misuse of the Toronto logo.
The Cinco is back after taking a week off for the holidays. Plenty of music dropped this week including songs from Jeezy, Budden, Lupe, Los, Marshall and more. Here’s some of my favorites…
1. Los ft. XV – Get It
Los drops a new joint from his mixtape The Crown Ain’t Safe dropping 12/5. Pretty dope track… I’ve been sleeping on this cat for a while, however I will make sure to cop this new mixtape.
2. Lupe Fiasco ft. Ab Liva, Gilbere Forte & Asaad – Super Cold (Raak Remix)
New “Super Cold” track from Lupe and Gilbere Forte from his new mixtape Friend of the People. After a some what of a disappointing album, Lupe really goes in on this song as well as the mixtape which is a must listen too in my opinion. …but hey who am I? Just a blogger with a dream.
3. Young Jeezy ft. Freddie Gibbs & Eminem – Talk To Me
Jeezy seems to be dropping new tracks on a weekly basis in anticipation of his new album that’s been pushed back about 17 times by my count. This track features Gibbs and Marshall himself on the hook. My excitement for the CD as climbed from a 2 to a 5 so lets see what Jeezy brings to the table… its been a while.
4. Drake ft. YG, Snoop Dogg & Nipsey Hussle – The Motto (LA Remix)
The LA boys had to come in throw some Cali Swagg on this track (as said by J.Waves). Keeping Drizzy on the hook with some smooth verses by some of the best from the West Coast ( YG, Snoop & Nipsey). Cant help but to nod your head to it… good driving music.
5. Joe Budden ft. Emanny – She Don’t Love Me
Soon to be on Budden Stan status… Joe once again drops some lyrical fire. It’s starting to seem to easy for him which doesn’t seem fair. One of those tracks you have to play three times in a row to catch everything he’s saying. Dope beat, dope lyricist!
Well hope you enjoyed this weeks edition because I’m not making any promises for next week. I will be in Vegas (God willing) Watching The Throne but maybe I’ll find some time in between my yard cups of long islands… Be safe out there and happy holidays.
D-Lop
So basically he said if Drizzy felt it was about him then it was. To me it sounds like it could be aimed at him. Listen to the song below and read the lyrics to form your own opinion.
Common – Sweet (Prod. No I.D.)
[Intro]
You know they be asking ’bout Common, where he at?
I’m doing what I do, hip hop, thats what I do
Yeah
[Common - Verse 1]
How can I say this, fuck it I’m the greatest
I am the A-list for all these great debaters
A lot of ya’ll nah nah, forgot na, who I am
The ’87 nigga used to rah rah in the jam
Ow yeah, we put them things in the air
When I drop a single, it’s really like a pair
Of Air Jordans, important to the culture
If you aint true to it, callate la boca
Get my drink on like a coaster
Post up on a wall, a mic, used to live off
Hip Hop Master ?, I’mma get my shit off
Rollin’ in a Maserati Gran with the lid off
I bit off like a monster, live nigga this is my encore
Encore, encore, I rhyme for the commoners
My name synonymous with prominence
I’m to hip hop what Obama is to politics
Common is
Yeah, man, y’all niggas man, you soft muthfuckers
Yeah my man, muthafcker
Then come around my crib
You know where I’m from
Some hoes ass niggas
Singing all around me man, la la la
You aint muthaf-cking Frank Sinatra
Uh, lil bitch
Yeah, this the raw right here
Yeah this the raw right here nigga
Sweet muthafuckas
Sweet ass bitch muthafucka
[Common - Verse 2]
Wa da da da, wa dada dada da
The C-O double-M O-N, I’m not playin’
Da da man at work, I make my own lane
I’m the franchise so I rock my own chain
No I. said give ‘em that 80′s cocaine
Somethin’ raw, something pure so I stayed in that vain
The hero that he know, that he cold
like winters below in the Geo, wipe ya feet off in the Regal
I’m king, observe the throne and the dream
I have it, supreme like mathematics
Yeah, I rep the fresh air for you asthmatic rap addicts
Pro black magic, this is semi-automatic
Rap we won’t jam in traffic
The game need direction, I’m here to map it
Uh, some people say that they be missing creativity
But when it come to hip hop, it begins and it’s with me
Sweet
[Outro]
You know man, you should know where I come from
You should know who I am nigga
You should never wanna go against me
You know man, you too soft for that man
I be seeing you man, I see it in your eyes man
You aint the type of nigga to go against me
You get in my presence you gon’ feel like a little hoe
You aint a man yet, you tryna be somebody else
Man, be yourself man, you come around my crib, you get your shit took
Huh, wherever you go, you probably be overseas in Europe and get yo shit took
You’s a hoe, you know you sweet
Aint nothing you can do man, people see that man
Broads be seeing you sweet
Done wit’ you muthafuckas, it’s over for you
It’s over for you? It’s over, sweet muthafucka
Drake has parted ways with Gee Roberson, Al Branch, Kyambo Joshua and Bryant Cortez of Hip Hop Since 1978 and is now represented by William Morris Endeavor. The rapper has also fired his booking agents International Creative Management. Other rappers represented by HHS1978 are Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, TI and more. Below is the report from the NY Post.
“Drake just felt like there were too many hands in his pockets,” a source said. “He was getting pulled in too many different directions.” Our source added there was conflict between the rapper’s original management team in Canada and the ones he picked up along the way. “His team from Canada is trying to wrestle back control,” a source said. “He may go back to them to streamline things.”
The Cali natives hop on Drake’s heavily Bay Area influenced song “The Motto” and put some more LA swag on it.
