In the ultra-competitive world of rap, where MCs throw shots both directly and indirectly, even the most subliminal mentions draw attention from the media and fans alike. Drake has delivered two such lines in the past two weeks where many felt that he was sending shots at Jay-Z.
On Friday (May 20), Drizzy took to Twitter to shut the rumors down. “Hov diss? Hov of all people has not lost it...that’s god body flow.”
The tweet was in reference to a line on Drake’s newly leaked “Dreams Money Can Buy.” On the track which is said to be off of Young Angel’s upcoming sophomore album Take Care, Drake spits, “And I feel like lately I went from top five to remaining five/My favorite rappers either lost it or they ain’t alive.”
A week earlier Drake appeared alongside Lil Wayne and Rick Ross on DJ Khaled’s “I’m On One” and dropped the line: “Hate the rumors, hate the bulls--t, hate these f--kin’ allegations/I’m just feelin’ like the throne is for the takin’; watch me take it.”
On May 13, RapFix asked fans if they felt Drake took a swipe at Hov and Kanye who are readying the release of their new album Watch the Throne. 53% of fans answered “No” while 37% of readers thought “Yes.” 10.5% of fans were unsure.
Seems like the majority of fans were right, as Drake’s tweet shows that a Hov diss is out of the question.
Still, you can’t front, from a purely competitive aspect, it would have be interesting. Not that we’re trying to stir the pot.
