  4. The Incredible Creation says:

    bruh.. needed more bars and less instrumentation at the end.. http://theincrediblecreation.wordpress.com/

  5. kevlar kohleone says:

    joey 3-0

  6. 340 says:

    The best thing for Drake to do is not awnser but if he don’t this could fuck up his legacy as a Hip Hop artist.

  7. ilexx says:

    My word. The sample is ether alone.

    But bars vs bars.

    Budden 3: Drake 0.

    I know Drake only had a small verse but the verse was one of the worst Drake verses in awhile.

    1. BK James says:

      How is the sample Ether?

      1. ilexx says:

        It’s how he flipped it. The way he ended the song….. “You asked the question, I’ll answer it for you…..” What should I be afraid of? 🎵

        Do I need to say…. He should be afraid of him?

        I really liked how he did it.

      2. THE ALMIGHTY MIKEY ESCO!!! says:

        DISAPPEAR YOU SLIMY LIL BAMA!!!
        FK YO FEELINGS!!!

  8. CHEGWII says:

    Listen here joe budden vs drake is a no contest joe wins every time not only because he got waayyyyy more barz than drake and hes a real hiphop artist but even if joe budden came with weak shit and just gave us some crap he would still be better because he WRITES HIS OWN SHIT!!

  9. Carl Vegas says:

    I heard a new Logic song on the radio today, and he sounded like a Team Jordan Drake. Said that to say, Drake wins no matter if Joe comes with an Either on steroids.Real hip hop heads will respect it and Rich Homie Quan hip hop heads will declare Drake wins. Unfortunately, real hip-hop heads are significantlying out numbered

  10. Michael Ib bett says:

    At first it gave me the canibus dissing eminem as Stan vibe….then I realized that this is just the way bis.. should have… handled that type of “from a fan perspective” diss

  11. Ferris Bueller says:

    Bodied!

  12. MJ ANONYMOUS says:

    Not even a fair fight

  13. Cat In My Hood says:

    If Budden doesn’t hammer home the fact that Drake’s hits are written by ghosts, then Joey has failed to deliver on the intended consequence of this battle. AND instead given Drake a way out from under the ill-effects of his battle with Meek.

    Thus, rendering himself not just useless, but harmful to the hip hop cause.

    1. Megamind says:

      Cat’s won’t understand that! LOL
      They will call you a Drake stan!

      At this point there is NOTHING can do to penetrate Drake’s armor.
      To the people this matters to…they don’t buy records…and to Drake’s fans, they don’t care….

      So this is a WIN/WIN for Drizzy!

      Megamind

      1. Cat In My Hood says:

        “To the people this matters to…they don’t buy records…and to Drake’s fans, they don’t care.”

        I couldn’t agree more with this. The audience has to want to hear from you. And so many people miss that component. I think this would’ve been better suited to a young prominent MC with a decent following that can also use the greater exposure and controversy. There are a couple of rappers out there who though not as big as Drake are loved by the same crowds more or less, lyrically competent enough and probably couldn’t be hurt by a Drake diss but could only gain from a brush with Drake.

        Joe benefits from this (though not to the same degree). He hasn’t delivered a hit song. If he delivers a diss song that is also a hit that is premised on the fact that Drake doesn’t write, then he has served his purpose to the degree that he (Joe) can. Anything other than that, and he’s failing to maximize the opportunity for what it is.

        I feel like Tyler the Creator would’ve been the perfect dude to go at Drake – not because he’s a lyrical behemoth but because his persona can’t be damaged by a brush with Drake.

  14. Kris Kompute says:

    No need for Drake to respond anymore. Let budden keep talking to himself. Only going to damage his brand.

  15. Woo Hah!! says:

    If you’re a Drake fan, and call yourself a man, go kill yourself.

  16. M.A.T. says:

    First, let’s just call a spade a spade. Joe is only doing this for attention. Period. They say there’s so such thing as bad publicity. However, since this is basically a popularity contest, I honestly just don’t see how he comes out on top other than making some extra money that he wasn’t making before. Considering how well Joe can rap; he can’t make a song to save his life. Like the first two diss songs were way too long winded and not memorable. I’m sorry they just weren’t. He has a bad habit of wanting to rap for like 6 minutes straight and begins to repeat himself.

    Also, is it just me or did sampling Drake for the hook only point out the fact that Joe can’t make a chorus? Like seriously, this song is actually better than the previous two because he sampled Drake.

    And if anyone wants to respond in defense of Joe, I’m not a Drake fan. I just think the whole thing is kind of weak. Like if you think you’re a better rapper than Drake, then go and make better music than him. Don’t make a shit ton of songs dedicated to guy and try to get fame off of their name. There used to be a time when people actually had real beef with someone and then it went to wax. Now rappers just make diss records for attention.

    1. Mogul101 says:

      I think you forgot the part that there’s a difference between being a rapper and being an Entertainer. Joe didn’t start this “beef” all he simply did was (as a fan of Drake’s) critique his album. Drake got in his feelings and made a subliminal dias track to him on 4pm in Calabasas, and made his verse on The French Montana track. Joey was privy to this info and made diss tracks in response to the dude who was upset that had an opinion on the direction of the album that just came out. It just so happened that the French track just got released but it was made way before Joe went in the booth and recorded any of his tracks. Now people are quick to say Joe wanted attention. Apparently he didn’t if Drake had these already recorded prior too. Drake makes better pop songs but that definitely doesn’t make him a better rapper. It’s not attention on Joe’s part, it’s a you’re not gonna do to me what you did to Meek preemptive strike. He let Drake and all of the casual and hardcore rap fans know that he does this (relevance or not) he still lethal with the pen.

      1. M.A.T. says:

        I don’t know, he’s came out with 3 songs. What more does he want to say? I just think the premises behind it all is dumb.

  17. marty mcfly says:

    The first two songs I was like why? Joe battling Drake? That seemed like a waste of bars at a nigga who likely gives no fucks but this song is actually pretty DOPE.

    1. ilexx says:

      At least you can say that because I know you were extremely vocal about your disdain for the other ones.

      This one has a Drake-y vibe to it, his fans should like it if they can get past the hate.

      1. marty mcfly says:

        It wasn’t disdain, I just didn’t think those songs were that hard. As far as I’m concerned Drake could say fine Joe, your the better lyrical miracle rapper, congrats. Makes no difference really, Drake never made music that suggested he was trying to be in that lane.

        1. Guest says:

          “lyrical miracle rapper” though? That’s even more insulting. That’ll go over well.

          1. marty mcfly says:

            The point is there’s a saying “pick your battles”, Drake can either entertain Joe or move on…

  18. ♔Gяêên Rångêя♔ says:

    Lol

  19. CmonMan says:

    Can you all please go and listen to Joe Buddens podcast where he explains everything. From why hes doing it, attention, bars, etc. tired of u stupid fucks just saying shit cuz u don’t know shit

    1. KILLA says:

      Nigga I am an avid I’ll Name This Podcast listener and point blank period nigga is doing this because he wants ATTENTION. Stupid niggas like you are just too gullible and will listen to whatever shit a nigga tells you without making your own assessment of a situation. Joe reviewed his album had some issues with it and the direction Drake was taken then all of a sudden became so obsessed you heard a song and think he’s talking about you? So you then make 3 diss songs. Mind you that have all been bigger than any song he’s put out because niggas ain’t listening to it for you it’s for Drake. Joe Budden need to hold another L, cause the first one Lil B gave him with T-Shirt & Buddens, not to mention him not wanting no problems with Ransom when he ran down on Joe and his people. Can Joe Budden rap yes, he can but trying to gain a buzz off another nigga will NEVER be respected in my eyes.

      1. Bruh? says:

        – Somebody with a a personal vendetta against Joe and an obsession with “One Dance”

        Bet you get all of your dresses at Ross! Lol.

        1. THE ALMIGHTY MIKEY ESCO!!! says:

          LMAO
          FK YO FEELINGS!!!

  20. Nickey38 says:

    This joint is fire. That production is crazy. Joe making me into a fan.

  21. JACK THE CRACKER says:

    DRAKE AIN’T FUCKIN WITH BUDDEN IN THIS BATTLE

    1. PREMERE says:

      Def not…..

    2. NYComicBookGuy says:

      Not at all!

  22. el jim chapo guzman says:

    What sucks is that those that can’t keep along and understand the lyrics that are just crazy jabs at Drake, will say the song sucks and is boring because of it. They rather hear those basic lines that diss the person. With Budden, his disses are brutal but you have to understand them and people are too stupid to do that so they label Budden as ass.

    1. Savimbi says:

      One of the few times I can agree w/ your bitch ass!!!!! faggot!!!!

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        Let’s go get some donuts my nigga.

        1. THE ALMIGHTY MIKEY ESCO!!! says:

          -SUS
          FK YO FEELINGS!!!

        2. Belize says:

          😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  23. Lpjay says:

    Idk who’s winning the “battle” cuz this isn’t even a battle to me but…that Pusha T line was DOPE. lol.

  24. EricHiesenberg says:

    Lyrics, but it won’t matter Joey roasted

  25. THE ALMIGHTY MIKEY ESCO!!! says:

    LEAVE WHEELCHAIR JIMMY ALONE JOEY!!! THE BEAT IS FIRE!!! FK YO FEELINGS!!!

  26. PREMERE says:

    Joe bodied drake 2 songs ago, this aint meek mills……..

  27. Joe has calculated this down to the letter. Drake needs to leave that man alone. This is not Meek lol

  28. THE PLUTONIAN says:

    I remember when Jay roasted Joey with the Pump It Up remix. Hov poured lava all over Joey.

    1. Bryan Ellis says:

      Jay lost that… he wanted NO PARTS of Joe…

      1. THE PLUTONIAN says:

        You must be smoking crack.

        1. chitlin coon says:

          he def smoking that whitney.

        2. Savimbi says:

          He smoking bath salts!!!

  29. Considering the war in the streets right now this “beef” just seems basic and misplaced.

  30. TRUHVAS says:

    joey needs a new engineer dope trak though

    1. NYComicBookGuy says:

      LMAO! I was thinking the same thing! Song is fire but this mix needs WORK!

  31. @tr_414 says:

    **Bang, Bang, Bang** #Dead

  32. Mogul101 says:

    I’m a fan of both these dudes but Joe as a music fan and an apparent fan of Drake gave his honest opinion on Drake’s latest album, Drake was in his feelings, made two diss tracks (4pm in Calabasas and the verse for French Montana’s song) how was privy of this info and went into the booth and lyrically chastised Drake. He made sure he didn’t get the Meek Mill syndrome and people have the nerve to say how did it for attention. The fact the verse came out with Drake dissing joe shows you that Joey wasn’t bugging for coming at homie. Now I know it’s gonna fall on deaf ears (the 3 diss tracks) but the real ones will know that Joey held his own and didn’t get Meeked by the more popular and relevant artist.

  33. jizzle says:

    Are we really entertaining this “one-sided” battle????? Soo much other good music out here…IM DONE.

  34. radio raheem says:

    joe not playing… drizzy need to start putting effort and stop joking… this sample and song was graffiti

  35. IM730 says:

    If he did those bars on a lessdistracting beat mannnnnnn shit would be dope..

    1. Savimbi says:

      Take Drake’s dick out your mouth!!!!
