Drake and Common Beef

Last week, a track (stay schemin) off Rick Ross's Rich Forever mixtape started circulating online. It featured Drake and French Montana, but the real catch of the song is Drake's verse where he goes in on Common. Apparently, they have had a n issue for a couple of months now. Drake believed that Common was indirectly speaking to him on his sweet track off his The Dreamer/The Believer album. When Common was asked, he simple said if the cap fit, then Drake can wear it.



stay schemin is the track which Drake uses as a vehicle to go at Common, and 2 days ago, Common released his own version. He left Rick Ross's verse and Drake's verse on the track, and just did his reply on the third verse. I think that is brilliant. People get to hear what Drake said about him, and then hear his reply, and judge from that. I really don't know what prompted Common to go at Drake subliminally in the first place, but he definitely most have a reason.


I am not going to put any lines from the song up in here, cos i would just spoil the effect it would have if you hear it fresh. Follow this link to listen- stay schemin. Personally, i think this could turn out to be one of the most interesting beefs since Game and G-Unit. I think Beefs and rap battle embody what hip hop stands for. I think it is part of the art. And we all know Common and Drake would not take it to the streets, so it is all good.

People have been taking sides on twitter. Of cos most of the younger generation that dominate twitter don't know Common's history, so it is only natural that they would back Drake. If you ask me, i think they are both wonderful artists. I think, judging from Drake's Stay Schemin verse, he has shown that he is a better over all rap artist than his boss...Lil Wayne. Wayne couldn't even put together a decent verse when he decided to go at Jay-Z on his Carter 4 album.


I personal don't like the way new artists go around disrespecting the rappers that were hear before them...Nicki Minaj dissing Lil Kim...Drake and Big Sean talking disrespecful about Ludacris, and Now Drake dissing Common. But, i think it is good for Hip Hop. I am expecting second round of the Drake/Common rap battle, and i hope they bought make full songs and not just 16 bar verses.
