I blame Meek, he could have fished dude. But honestly what he did was super damaging to Drake's image
in the hip-hop community. Everybody for the longest time thought Drake was coming with all these hits over
and over like he couldn't be stopped. We now know how it was getting done, and its pretty clear with the
lack of "hits" on Views.
Meek did half the work and Joe fished it off. Weeknd made the best decision of his life going solo. The clock
might be running out for PND he should have gone the Weeknd route.

Meek did the most damage I could do even whole dropping the ball. All he could've did was make a better diss and be handed a W from us music heads, mainstream America would've still backed drake and his sales and popularity wouldn't miss a beat. He dropped that egg so the purists and music heads already discredit sons work, but those other mfers could give 2 damns. Too many people got money on dude to let him be "finished".

I still disagree. If Meek would've dropped the ether level track right after Charged Up, the narrative would've been completely different. I don't think the mainstream media, or corporations like hamburger helper, would've joined in like they did. Meek f'ed up.

i agree, Meek would've been a hero had he countered "charged up" with a hammer.
even his tracks he lost to Cassidy with would've BODIED Drake.

Word. Meek only caught the overt slander after the back to back track. There weren't crazy memes after charged up.

Meek wasn't prepared. He thought the tweets alone would've been enough to finish the situation, he should've either held onto that info till he was ready to attack seriously or started writing as soon as he heard Drake was coming at him in retaliation.
He let Drama put that battery in his back but wasn't thorough enough.

Meek just doesn't have it in him to win a battle against anyone let alone Drake.
A mainstream battle requires a completely different approach than some hood Philly ****. You cant just hop on the mic and recite 50 different lines about ways you'd shoot and kill somebody. You also can't talk a bunch of material **** when you're going up against someone that dwarfs you in that arena either. Wit wins over all and Meek just never had that in him. Hard to play the "Drake has the machine card" when Meek just isn't capable of standing out in a setting like that even if Drake didn't have a machine behind him.

I agree Drake isn't getting stuff written and handed over to him.
But he is given a bunch of music to either build off of the original idea or create his own pattern to it.
The QM tracks are his songs that Drake jacked. It's not hard to write to a song once the flow and cadences, hook and beat are already there. It's just like when rappers remix a popular song and just lay their vocals over a finished product.

Personally I feel like Meek would have at least won over the hip hop community if he dropped a diss going in on every moist/questionable thing Drake has done over the past 6 or 7 years. Not to mention, he had a spirit bomb in the fact that no one knew Drake had gotten peed on. He should have started out his song with that.
And then on top of that he had the reference tracks. I would have dropped a fire diss and then the 4 reference tracks as a mini mixtape.
Meek has no one creative on his team to really help him think of **** like that though.

This is exactly what would've happened. We the hip hop community would've gave him a win but one dance would still be doing the same numbers, views would still sell and his fans wouldn't give 2 dambs since most aren't even hip hop fans. Dude got exposed for people handing over tracks numerous times and it did nothing, nothing. U got dudes who turned on Jay for quoting big, this dude got people writing hits and Noone blinked a eye.

Y'all really expect ghostwriters to come out and throw the artist under the bus? That's the evidence you need? Never mind the other ****.

Meek cannot body Drake. Even if he dropped a great diss track the larger point is Drake is a Pop star. Most of Drake's fan base don't know about battles or hip hop culture. As long as Drake is doing those catchy singalongs that's all they care about.
I remember going back and forth with them dudes in the Drake thread when the Kendrick control **** happened. Them dudes were clueless about battles. They couldn't understand that hip hop is like a competitive sport (shoeking). These are Drake era fans that think hip hop is about everybody being BFF's and ****.

Once again ppl rewrite history and claim Meek could of never won a battle against Drake. After his menstrual tweet fest all I heard was Drake would get washed in beef with Meek. Drake dropped Back 2 Back and dudes really got in their feelings. Now its Meek wasn't a nobody, he couldn't sell records and all these others tales.
Can dudes just admit they didn't expect Drake to embarrass him the way he did?
This.. its always goes back to Drake being too powerful to bring down. That has nothing to do with battling. Meek wanted an issue and he got responded to. Its not Drakes fault that ran off like a punk and took months to respond.

Had Meek dropped this fire diss track only hip hop heads would even acknowledge the win. Drake would still be the machine he is. But if we are gonna talk about taking too long to respond, why Drake ain't responding to budden? He killing him on wax lyrically, saying his name and he gonna act like it never happened.

I thought we established that Drake saw Meek as a real threat which is why he responded. My dude Rollingwithangel already put game on this issue.
The podcaster gets no response until he's relevant enough to do damage.
