  • Many people think that Drakes First loss in Hip Hop was To Pusha-T but the beef that's over looked is his feud with Common! I decided to breakdown the beef in detail in this one.

    Drake throws rocks and hides his hand. He had plenty of things to say subliminally and on stage but when he was called out for it and it was time to ACTUALLY get down for real, he completely ducked Common. It’s an undeniable loss.

      You're undeniably not smart or pretending to be dumb for engagement lmao Drake smoked him with a classic verse and went on about his career 😂 You think the biggest rapper at this time was gonna go on a 60 part rap battle with a semi old-school rapper on some 8 mile sh!t ? Then common even admitted he was in his feelings cuz Drake smashed serena. Claming this is a Drake L is dumb. Get your views up with drake, it's ok, the content is not bad, but don' be dumb, we got enough dumb youtubers.

    Asserting that nobody looked at Common as a "tough guy" because he didn't portray himself as a gangster or make music about being so is kind of wild. Masculinity isn't defined by criminality. There's plenty of "soft" guys in prison.

    • @whatsthedirt
      @whatsthedirt  6 місяців тому +88

      I’m not saying that it’s about criminality. But when it comes down to his music (which was 40’s argument) he wasn’t the best person to be calling anyone “soft” or “sweet”. Are you familiar with his catalogue?

      Unless you’re from Chicago and of a certain age you know common and where he’s from. I’m from the crib and in my mid 40’s common was a 4CH (4 Corner Hustler) from the crib. He’s of the old school pedigree of rappers before NWA came on the scene. It’s like he don’t need to promote the thug in his music real G’s didn’t rap about the life . If you know you know. Look up Chicago 4 corner hustlers.

    He never backed down from a conflict, he always said names when he wanted to/ challenged and returned volleys lyrically.
    He waxed Westside Connection by HIMSELF and made folks respect his pen. He ATE Cube. One of most feared MCs at the time. With ease.

    Thank you for emphasizing rapping during beefs. People wanna brag about the numbers and it's okay if you don't bother anything or claim you're the best at rapping, because once you do that then you have to show by rapping why you're at the top.

    There’s actually a lot to unpack in alluding that Beanie is seen as more masculine than Common. Beans did go to prison, so I guess there’s an element of potential danger or doubts about being trustworthy. I think I understand why you said it, and how you said it but in that you should really reflect on why you think people perceive Common as less masculine because he’s fit, groomed and knows how to dress.

    I like how u put this material out. First, by analysis, since this is more or less doubling as a hip hop channel and a podcast channel on UA-cam referencing what’s really going on in hip hop today, I’d say to not let your guard down on drake. People are buying his albums. Talking about him. Streaming his records. Relating to it more than they relate to others. He’s the talk of the year and even the decade. And in each record he drops, he always disses rappers. Before u released the video on the drake v Kendrick beef, he typically dissed Kendrick again. And again. The next record, he will keep dissing. He is like a ho that had too many niggas bang him wrong. So he puts out his frustrations on record and many relate to it quickly. Plus common is right about one thing - Drake releases ho music. And Common is just one of the few rappers that will call Drake out by name. Drake only hides behind subliminals and it is really good when u gave a crash course on how rap beef works. No one can force Kendrick or Common to release new albums. We are all hoping that those two bring out something good very soon. And that’s because I, for an example, am very tired of listening to one rapper dominating the charts with pillow rap music. One minute, a good dope rapper drops material that should be talked about and the streams comes short. The next minute, drake releases predictable music and everyone be like drake did this and drake did that.
    It’s tiring.
