    Common killed Drake cuz he actually said “Make no mistake, I’m talking bout Drake” while Drake spoke strictly subliminally.

    hahahaha@”Common is too fucking old to making DISS records”. One of the most idiotic comments. What does age have to do with this? Pleases tell me?

  9. Sarcastic A$$hole says:

    @ZoomZoom Mr. Cartoon?

  10. NuJew says:

    ZoomZoom Otis needs to get out of his Mama’s basement. Dude is on here 24/7.

    Smh

  11. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    No its Tattoo Artist Kevin Campbell. The guy who tatted that chick with “DRAKE” on her forehead. He said Drake had 1 of goons show up to his tattoo shop while Drake was outside in the car.

  12. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    @NuJew. I moved on up. Im in the attic now. I would know if im on here 24/7?

  13. Stop Hatin says:

    common sucks he aint got shit on drizzy

  14. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    @Word Common threw subliminals at Drake first then Drake responded with subliminals, then Common called him out by name. Now if Drake don’t respond by using Common by name then I can see you call him a pussy or whatever.

    So drake is really soft. Common just generally said hip hop right now is soft. so Drake actually took offense to that so Drake responded back.

  17. Word says:

    @Hip-hop Fiend. Common said in an interview the song Sweet is about Drake before stay scheming so Drake had tone to decide if he wanted to subliminally diss him or not.

  18. Loaded says:

    When will hip hop grow up. I hate rap fans. I remember when I used to be like this as a teen. I stopped listening to ja rule cause of “back down” then other stuff. I stop Listening to Dipset cause of jay. The. I grew up and realized I was keeping myself from good music. I realized music is just music and I love it all. This whole fiasco with drake and common is alright. But we all know in 5 months their gonna be shaking hands at MTV award show. Maybe in the future people will be more welcome to change in hip hop. Respect each other and what their doing. When an artist comes out who is different people won’t judge him/her. even if they don’t like the music they ll respect it.

  19. King says:

    In that interview com said he was makibg a general statement n to no one in general but if drake got offended well if the shoe fits wear it….& that exactly what drake did wore that shoe like he never wore one before & threw subs at common

  20. Dito says:

    The end rant on Sweet common is clearly talking to someone specific (let’s assume DRAKE) The rant is more about “manhood” than wanting boom bap back in hip hop and less signing. Drake prolly knows some behind the scene rhetoric comming from Common’s side along with the song sweet and decided to address it with a Sub. COmmon had no choice but to fake act like it wasnt about drake but if drake took offence well the shoe fits! << thats a bitch move imo.

    Drake then responds to you Common without having to say his name especially since Common used Drake names in interviews etc and then you reply back with a weak diss record and then claim in this interview that Drake made it seem like he wanted to battle? Naw you started it couldnt admit it then fake admitted it and then called his name out as if you had no choices!

  21. Hip-Hop Fiend says:

    Yea and the only reason Common admited that Sweet was about Drake in that interview is because Drake said at that Christmas concert if Common got something to sat say to his face… I do agree with you that Common killed him on that Stay Schemin Remix but not cuz he called Comm on said his name at the end of the song talking grizzy.

  22. Pissed says:

    It’s hip hop ain’t no damn backin out bs if your an MC you battle, it’s good for the culture. The problem is the little emotional twitter beef clowns have “beefin” mixed up with “battling”. It’s 2 different things.

    Bottom line, stay scheming & sweet was light work. Drake don’t really want a battle with Common.

  23. SoSoSOSweet says:

    DRAKE IS SO SO SWEET!! DUDE IS WHACK. ILL GIVE HIM PROPS TO HIS STYLE BUT HE IS NOT SPITTING ABOUT SH*T. COMMON STANDS ALONE WITH HIS ABILITY TO DELIVER MESSAGES. ALL THESE DRAKE FANS NEED TO GO TATTOO HIS NAME ON THEIR FOREHEADS AND JUMP IN THE OCEAN. BET DRAKE SUDDENLY BACKS OUT OF THE BATTLE AND SAYS THAT’S NOT WHERE HE AT AS AN ARTIST AND IF DUDE WANTS TO SEE ME IN PERSON, BLAH BLAH BLAH..DRAKE IS SOFT.

  24. pax says:

    Common is a bitch…The only reason he went at Drake by doing “sweet” is cuz Serena got smashed by Drake and then ppl started talkin’ about it…Say the truth Common’ you got mad cuz your bitch gave it up so fast…

    He’s talkin about the culture and shit you fuckin old bitch ass nigga get bitchez ur age they might behave a lil better…And fuck anyone who says that common is a legend or he’s Hip Hop: Nas, OC, Big L, Biggie, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim,Q Tip these are true Hip Hop legends.

    drake is a good actor isnt he? haha

  28. I don’t necessarily want hard hip hip hop back, I want real hiphop back… artist lyrics being about real life experience!! if it’s hard soft whatever so be it.. but not a cat singing and shit to sell records because dude know btiches like the way he look and she got his pictures on her wall that’s some boy band bieber type shit not true hiphop or these fake ass hard fraudulent gangster tales people spit.. hiphop sold its soul to sell records now real shit don’t even sell no more because of that.. what happened to being passionate about something you got in your heart and mind your going threw going in the booth and spit that to the world even if what your saying doesnt make you look cool.. bring that shit back please asap true music art..

  29. We went from rapping about the struggle, to rapping about the struggle to get your tight ass shirt and jeans on and your rented maybach and your cubic zirconia chain……

  30. Di@z says:

    Passion in my music click on my name for some tunes. @Hate on yourself
    But about this whole common drake issue… I want to see drakes next move. I suppose we need a great beef every decade pretty sure this won’t be it. Pac/Big jay/Nas

  31. BEARHUG says:

    DRAKE’S A SLUT BITCH sleepin around like any NIGGA JEW – Minaj, Rihanna, Dellucio, etc all these women in one year? HE MUST HAVE THEM JEW JIGGERS IN HIS SMALL PINK DICK. Common’s a legend, PERIOD. Drakes DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  32. Word says:

    Oh ok I see. @HipHopFiend

    I dont wanna say I want old school hip hop back. Imean, I like the way it was this last year. Its not as bad as things were a couple years ago when niggas were jerking and cranking shit. Its actually died down and now real artist like Cole and Wale dont have to sell out to do good numbers. Solid numbers. Ross had a huge hit in BMF that was straight hip hop despite his character. It wasnt soft or pop. So based on that, I think hip hop has been good recently.

    As long as the bright colors shit is dead im good. I dont got a problem with Drake singing. Yes, hes soft. Cotton soft. Charmin toilet tissue soft. But is he good for the culture? Yes. Because he drew attention to Kendrick Lamar by featuring him on the album. The featured song was a JUST BLAZE production in Lord Knows. It wasnt all soft shit. Point is, Drake doesnt hurt the culture. Faggots like Soulja Boy, New Boyz, Those party like a rock star niggas and so on are the ones that set the culture back a couple years. I feel like Common and Drake should be able to coexist.

    @ZoomZoomDad, i hope you dont forget your buddies are in class making real progress with life whilst you busy playing Roc Nation Good Music advocate. Everytime i pop here you be trolling like you forget to go outside and play and meet girls

  36. Hands says:

    Common is lying like a motherfucker. Sweet was definitely about Drake, cause he was salty about ol girl. Drake didn’t say his name first, Common did. Common making it sound like Drake started this shit. Bullshit. Regardless his album is sick and if Drake responds this could get interesting. But I still say Common is salty over a chick that kinda makes him a bitch. Sorry.

  37. quese says:

    Since where is there a age limit on making diss records them old niggas did it back in the day so wtf is everyone talking about common is too old eat a dick

    Common just released the Bitch in him because little hommie smashed all and I do mean all of his ex girlfriends… So if you think Common one your sadly mistaken God only knows what Drake has cooking for him!

  40. the finishline says:

    Drake been singing subliminals & rapping em. When he was dating Serena who the hell ya thought he was talking too. He let a lil of it out on stay scheming. Besides Take Care is sofT, too soft shit even R.Kelly was rougher than drizzy. Not beef, rap battle!
