![]() Elsewhere on Certified Lover Boy, Drake appears to reference his less splashy but seemingly just as contentious beef with Swizz Beatz. It’s also not the only song on the album that contains aggressive bars towards another rapper. ![]() And he thinks that Kanye has lost his grip musically and hates that Drake still has it: “It’s been a lot of years since we seen you comin correct” “If we talkin top three, then you been slidin’ to third like stolen bases.” Drake sounds positively disgusted at the thought that their album releases could even go head to head with lines like “You over there in denial, we not neck and neck.” He also always makes sure to be dismissive of Kanye’s fashion ambitions (probably because he knows that’s really hitting Kanye where it hurts), here saying “I could give a fuck about who designing your sneakers and tees/Have somebody put you on a Gildan, you play with my seed.” (Gildan tees are the blanks Kanye prints most of his merch on.) Drake complains that Kanye tries to move the goalposts- “Lettin’ me take the rap for that Casper the Ghost shit/While you findin’ all of the loopholes'' alludes to Pusha’s gripe about Drake’s history of using songwriters, even as West clearly takes all the help he can get when he puts an album together these days. “7AM” covers a lot of the same ground Drake typically treads when he goes at Kanye. The song starts off with the lines “Secretly beefin me behind closed doors/But playin it peacefully for the streets to see/My n-gga have some decency/Don’t move like a puto.” From there, it’s not hard to read between the lines. ![]() So the song “7AM On Bridle Path”-which is the Toronto neighborhood where Drake resides-which references tense texts, an address post, and driving with “emotions racing” sure seems to imply he recorded it in response to this latest chapter of their beef, maybe even that very night.ĭrake doesn’t name names, but he also doesn’t mince words from the jump. The next night he posted (and later deleted) Drake’s home address in Toronto, Drake seemingly responded by posting video of himself laughing in his car. On August 20, Drake jabbed at West on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal.” West responded by sharing a group text thread railing against “nerd ass jocks” coming at him-he added Pusha T to the conversation and many people assumed the name D in the thread was Drake himself. ![]() By contrast, even though things have once again gotten testy between Drake and West for the better part of the last month, Drake’s new album Certified Lover Boy only has one song that is blatantly full of shots. Inevitably, Scorpion was littered with not-so-subliminal disses on songs clearly (and later confirmed as much by Drake) written, recorded and added in response to the situation. When Drake dropped his last album Scorpion, it came a full month after his beef with Pusha T-and, by extension, Kanye West-exploded. ![]()
