Common is a hard rapper to dislike. His flow and lyrics are undeniably good and he often teams up with great producers, most particularly Kanye West and the late J Dilla. He’s confident but rarely cocky, often a go-to rapper when one is searching for positive energy in the hip-hop world. So that being said, why the hell is he picking on an equally un-confrontational pop-rapper like Drake?
It all started last month when Common released “The Dreamer/The Believer,” which featured the single “Sweet,” a track that contained some controversial lyrics like “Singing all around me man, la la la/You aint muthafucking Frank Sinatra/Uh, lil bitch/Yeah, this the raw right here.” That line and one earlier in the song referring to someone as the “’87 nigga,” were confirmed by Common to be about Drake (it should be noted that Drake was actually born in 1986). The day of that confirmation, Drake tweeted, “Platinum. Now THAT’S Sweet!” although he quickly deleted it.
Last week, Rick Ross released the pretty sizable “Rich Forever” mixtape which featured the song “Stay Schemin,” featuring guest verses from Drake and French Montana. Drake’s verse is definitely directed at some antagonistic rappers, but it never gets too specific other than a line where he says, “Don’t be ducking like you never wanted nothing/It’s feeling like rap change, there was a time it was rugged/Back when if a nigga reached, it was for the weapon/Nowadays niggas reach just to sell they record.”
A dis like that could easily be directed towards once-menacing rappers like Ice Cube or Dr. Dre who’ve now softened into middle age, but Common responded in kind, remixing the track with a new verse immediately following Drake’s. It’s pretty funny hearing the succession of Drake’s vague sendoff with Common’s viciously specific response which reads:
My motto is: Chicago, bitch
Everybody know you sweet, what the problem is
Don’t play dumb, I’m the one that acknowledged it
Son of a bitch, I imagine what your father is
She said, “How you make your opponent, the rapper of the moment?”
His style, he don’t own it
Acting all hard when he hardly like that
You gon’ mess around and make me catch a body like that, ooooh
Don’t do it
‘Cause every song you make Joe is really hoe music
I heard you said you wasn’t a bitch because you sing
You a bitch because you cling like a bitch that’s eighteen
Can’t say my name but rap about a nigga’s wife
You so black and white, tryna to live a nigga’s life
I’m taking too long with this amateur guy
You ain’t wettin nobody, nigga, you Canada dry
That’s a doozy right there. Adding insult to injury, Common puts all subtleties aside exclaiming, “Make no mistake, I’m talking to Drake!” complete with a sample of “Say My Name” by Destiny’s Child. He even goes so far as to credit the song to Rick Ross, Common, French Montana, and That Hoe Ass Nigga.
The question is, why pick on Drake? He’s virtually harmless as his work is more geared toward the FM dial than the underground. On top of that he is also a very likable rapper, having many of the same attributes that make Common a favorite. Jealousy, perhaps? Maybe there’s more to this than just verses. It’s possible Common and Drake ran into each other at a public event and things didn’t go so well. After all, they are both actors and prominent figures in the hip-hop community so it’s probable. The ball is currently in Drake’s corner so we’ll see when and how he makes the next move.
Check out the sequence below with the videos for “Sweet” and “Stay Schemin” followed by Common’s revisions on the bottom.

January 09, 2012 at 5:55 pm, Why Common would diss said:
Drake is nothing like common. Common represents the real, staying true to hip hop. Drake emdodies everything that is commercial/crap about hip hop. Starting off I thought he was going to be hot. Once he got popular Drake went away from spitting like he can and started making wack ass songs for teenage girls where he “sings” to them. He gets money but deserves no respect. Stop bringing Common down while hes trying to lift hip hop up.

Hip hop is life to common as far as I can tell following his career since I was 10 (I first heard him on respiration) and lets face it.. Drake is cool but sometimes you can only take so much of at soft shit infiltrating what you love so much. When you go around saying uk the greatest ever but sing and bitch in most of ya tracks.. You downgrading the bar for what an MC should be.. So kids in the next few years will look at that as the standard.. Common is just trying to preserve.. The only thing I agree with in this article is that the ball is in drakes hand.. U wanna prove u an mc.. Say commons name and battle.. No ones gonna die or get shot.. This just that old fashioned cipher/battle most these rappers on the so called “hottest MC’s list” barely got any training for.. I’m just saying.. He can do a little better.. Hahaah

I think somebody dissing Drake has been coming for awhile. The streets aren’t bumping Drake like that. We like that raw, uncut, music that is just too real for most people to listen to. Common is straight from the grit and Drake is a sugar flavored corn flake. Common makes music for HIP HOP and Drake makes POP music.
Quick history, Westside Connect went at Common for his track I used to Love H.E.R, which they say was aimed at the music the west coast was putting out. WC responded with Westside Slaughterhouse. Common came back with The Bitch in Yoo. So it is COMMON for Common to represent HIP HOP Doug!
Now back to the lecture at hand…I believe this is the culmination of a rapper, Drake, feelin himself a little too much. Real hip hop heads like the braggadocio and confidence displayed by HIP HOP lovers, but it’s balanced by humbleness when the streets show that you are not bigger than them. HIP HOP is somewhat like Anonymous, as in collective ideas with no leader.
Drake thinks he’s the greatest, as he said in Forever with that sweet little hook he sang. He even tried to diss Ludacris for using the the pause, punchline flow that Drake thinks he invented. He tried to say Luda didn’t do it right with the ” Comin like a parade, Macy’s!” See Cam’ron for example of rapper using the flow way before Drake. Although Luda’s line was highly unneccessary, in other words wack, Drake is calling for the beef.
Now supposedly, Drake swooped in on Serena Williams and played Captain when her and Common split up. Maybe Com felt it was about time somebody stepped in to clown this youngster and show him that he’s not Mr Right, but Mr Right now.
That is all.

It is pretty entertaining to read the difference in comments between Common supporters and Drake supporters. I believe that it shows a real divide in the two rappers’ target audiences.
Common appeals to those with enough intelligence to understand a metaphor, or at least the ability to understand a word between its face meaning. Drake appeals to well… You can somewhat tell by the comments and how they do not understand what a structured sentence looks like, let alone a valid argument.

Plain and simple common is jealous of drake and is mad that his records are selling over his. Also he knows that drake is not really a confrontational so as a result he picks on him. Because he could of picked on lil wayne because they bascially rap the same way and make the same type of music. But common is way to old to be this childish. All because his records aren’t selling. Pitty

Wow whatever these guys are doing is working on you young cats. Common Sense lived Drakes life 10 times already. He is a legend…already! Drake aint even close. This is not about selling records, its about respect, lyricism and Hip-Hop which yall brainwashed kids know nothing of. Everything is about “selling records” or “making money” with you all. Jesus H. Christ when will you people get it?

Lil Wayne and Common make the same type of music??? WTF are you on??? They’re not even moderately similar. Commons records do sell. Maybe not as much as Drakes but they do sell. Common’s been around since the early 90′s. His music is pretty much timeless. Though I like some of Drakes music I can’t say the same about him. In 10 to 15 years nobody will care about Drake. His shit’ll be completely irrelevant. He’s only hot for the moment.

Also, if you want to be the best, you gotta take out who is considered to be the best. I dont consider Drake to be the best, but he is the hottest right now and Commons is past his prime. If Common and Drake both had concerts on th same night in the same city, their wouldnt be too many people at Commons concert.

Drake’ a rapper and Common’s hip-hop. I liked Drake b4 he tried to be Lil Wayne and no doubt drake has skills but stay in your lane young’n and show some respect. Record or concert sales have nothing to do with whose better I personaly think this will bring out the best in both of them. Drake has lot of female tendencies. Too many to name so I understand why people are coming at him. Like I said b4 thin these cats out and lets get back hip hop.

Are you guys serious?! Drake is clever, he definitely along with Wayne is the best at this punchline style of rap .And his mixtapes are legendary and his 2 albulms have been cool. But Common is on a whole nother level of MC. This guy has traded lines in a beef with cube. I like Drake but the next song he has that is on the level of I used to love H.e.R. will be his first. But those hating on Common this IS hip-hop. Battles elevate that art-form (as long as it doesn’t turn violent) more than dudes talking about who makes the most money. If Drake responds …we may see Drake get back to what everyone in the street was buzzing about. and age is irrelevant KRS-ONE could step on a stage and slay 95% of the game and he older than Common.

Common supposedly is mad at Drake over Serena William. Now if that aint on some female tendency type shit idk what is. How can you call another nigga sweet when you mad about a broad that don’t want you anymore. And now you Common fans are saying its about hip hop. Please!!! If it was about hip hop then he would have a record at going at ever so called pop rapper, but he doesn’t so I can only believe its about a girl which makes him pussy in my book. I like Drake and Common have all of both of their albums and they speak about different things. Who is any other artist to knock another persons craft? Thats why we have different genres of music. If you don’t like it don’t listen to it. Its obvious that someone likes Drakes music because it sells. So if those are the people he is speaking to and his music gets them through their day why hate? For Common of all people, the person that preaches unity and growth as a people to go after another artist to me shows he phony. PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!!!!

I have always loved Common since the first time I heard him along with Drake. I agree with the comment though that Drake is more “pop” than hip hop but that is where everything is going. Drake is still real in his versus but it is what is real to him which is what hip hop is about, expressing yourself, right? I think a battle would be fantastic but I don’t think Drake has it in him. I do agree he is getting a bit cocky which is unattractive. If it is about a woman than Common is just as bad as the rest of them and he is acting like a child. I honestly don’t know how the beef started but instead of making accusations just find the facts but to use the foul language towards each other in this blog just means you are fueling a war between hip hop and not uniting which is also what Common stood for as well. You are just part of the problem not the solution. Be an adult and call for a real battle than you have room to talk about who really is better in the World of Hip Hop.

To Doug Bleggi, and all of you on here mouthing off about shit you know nothing about, if you don’t know what is really happening, do some research! Then you might avoid looking stupid!
I’m wasting time typing this, should of just come in and said:
DRAKE, U FUCKED UP, COMMON NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO GONNA BE DISSIN U!!!!
Sorted, the half-wits in here should understand that.
If you want to know what is really going on, do some research and use only reliable sources.
