In case you were living under a rock this week here’s a rewind of what went down in hip-hop:
Drake and Meek Mill don’t appear to be ending their beef anytime soon, as the two dropped songs taking shots at one another.
The general consensus on the beef is that Drake slaughtered Meek on “Back to Back,” so he didn’t really need to put out another diss track.
However, Drizzy wants to make sure everybody knows who runs hip-hop.
His track, “Summer Sixteen” was pretty vicious with lyrics that clearly take aim at Meek, “I coulda killed you the first time/You don’t have to try to say it louder n—a,” he raps.
Meek came right back the same day and dropped, “War Pain,” which was a pretty effective response to “Summer Sixteen,” and even referenced lines from the song.
“War Pain” was the kind of response the people were waiting for from Meek. The drums on the beat make you feel the wrath of Meek’s signature delivery.
Check out the tracks:

This beef doesn’t appear to be ending anytime soon. Stay tuned.
