Bar for bar! Dope beats! Discovering
Quentin Miller and WHO peed themselves??...
Then the internet went crazy.
The last few weeks has seen the whole
music world focus all their attention on two very specific individuals, Drake
Aubrey Graham and Robert Rahmeek Williams aka Meek Mill.
Although, there are many rumors as to
what exactly started the feud between the two but the most obvious provocation
came from Meek Mill when he went on twitter and asked to stop being compared to
Drake and then accusing Drake of not writing his songs.
This is weird because ghost writing
wasn’t really a secret but OK.
“It was a good week for hip hop
honestly” said Static Playa “Although
I was shocked at the whole ghost writing accusation, that maybe Drake didn't
write some of my favorite songs of his, but I now understand how the industry
over there works and It’s amazing”.
The most important point that one could
take out of this is that the entire music community not only listened, but
listened closely and paid attention. Hip-hop was at the center of it all.
“I say It was a good week because although, the beats were dope, people
focused more on just the lyrics for once” he commented, adding that everyone
became conscious listeners, “Drake surprisingly had more bars than meek. He
beat Meek at his craft that's why I
would say drake won this. Meek wasn't serious.”
Meek representing street rap at this
point should’ve been able to win this battle undoubtedly because this is his
area, disses and hard raw straight rap.
“If you don’t conform you shouldn't let anyone beat you at what you are
sticking to.” He pointed out.
Rap and Hip Hop isn’t just a genre, it’s
a lifestyle and with it comes immense respect from peers, fans and others. In the Rap / Hip-hop world you gotta
spit fire or retire.
“All I’m gonna say is, Meek should’ve
left it alone”, stated Lil D, Namibian RnB artist.
“To me they should just focus on
entertaining their fans with good music and not with diss tracks”, said upcoming
Nigerian Pop artist, Brytswagkid.
Taking Meek’s side on the matter, Yung
Froddo Nigerian Hip hop / Rap artist said he thinks Meek wasn’t so wrong to
expose Drake after all, “Everyone thinks Drake is so great but he doesn’t even
write his own stuff.”
“I
think Meek is mad because he writes all his own stuff and is still considered
inferior to Drake and his work gets more credit” Yung Froddo explains, “ghost
writers get credit too, but people probably didn’t pay that much attention to
it until Meek mentioned it”
Yung Froddo added that Meek’s diss track
was wack in his opinion it should just be considered a response track and not a
diss track at all. “He didn’t get his facts across well, he probably should’ve
hired a ghostwriter for that too” He laughs.
"This may be a publicity stunt because in this industry as we know bad publicity is still publicity", Froddo is of the opinion that Meek Mill's career is not done (as previously claimed by Drake fans) but that from here on out he should just stick to his music and keep getting bigger and better.
"If it was me I would just focus o my music, I wouldn't need to prove anything to anyone" He said.
So maybe we shouldn’t give up on Meek
though Ice Cube commented that he feels Meek Mill could come back. The journey
to the studio took him at least four days last time so who knows how long we
will have to wait for a response now – that is if there is one..
In a podcast released on the 4th
of August 2015, Tay from Dormtainment, the popular YouTube group said, “This is
a good battle for the art of Hip-hop.”
