1. "RE: So Joe Budden dissed Drake" In response to Reply # 0
using that interview against him was clever. Drake stans gonna count plays/dollars, anybody for Budden going off bars.
Budden has stepped on stage and actually battled in the last few years so drake on thin ice with ghostwriters and dodging Mook, probably do what he did with Meek and it'll be over before August unless Joe actually gets mad and keeps it's going.
I don't believe any of Drake's time & place bars is gonna beat Joe.....I don't believe people are gonna listen to Joe because "he hasn't be revelent since 2003".
Interested to hear what Drake says. He should use the reality stuff in his favor...and I'm sure they'll be some "you broke and can't make a hit bars" too.

But young people don't care about this nerd-level rap shit. This is like the equivalent of Yngwie Malmsteen on electric guitar. Joe Budden is rap finger-tapping and doing rap pentatonic scales. Drake could respond with half the effort and half the ability it takes to do this kinda thing and he'll win in the public perception based on success instead of skills. That's cool though. That's just how things are right now. Real shit will come back through a la Kurt Cobain takeover that will make 95% of current shit look ridiculous in the grand scheme of things.

Drake could kill him worse by using the 'half a bar' strategy instead of getting into a whole thing with him like with Meek. Maybe this one ain't personal enough? Who knows...rappers be weird.
When someone tries to make real shit with any kind of visibility attached to it, the 'real heads' tend to ruin it by not rolling with it, pushing it and letting it be what it could be from there. It happened to Cole until he said eff it, stopped cutting his hair and started yodeling. I'm more disappointed that folks argued over Kendrick when he'd clearly jammed up a storm no less than 2 times in a row with Dr. Dre attached to his work. But nooooo...couldn't let him have it. Had to go on and on about how it wasn't smart enough or that it was too weird or that nobody wanted to hear spazz jazz. Lupe came with it via bar barrage...same thing. Heads argued over it. It was obviously too much rappin for young cats who had grown accustomed to adlibs, fewcha-style mumbling, stop and start flows, singing, inefficient rapping/bars stretched out over multiple songs, and smoke and mirrors production that doesn't necessarily 'allow' for heavy rapping.

...people who's more famous than he is...which is like 90% of the rappers out right now.
Yeah Joe is a lyricist and likes to make those mean metaphors and whatnot but dude seems angry all the time at nobody and can't make a decent album to save his life.
So what he dissed Drake, I don't like Drake either but c'mon, how about diss Jay-Z or Kanye and make it interesting, going after Drake is like going after an r&b artists who just so happen to rap...aka easy target.

Drake has too much material but there's almost nothing to destroy. A loss here does not have an effect upon Joey in any capacity. He built his career off introspective mixtapes so losing now helps him long-term.
