The content is just a small piece of it all, what about the beats? Or the overall sound of the songs themselves?

IMO the sounds aren't experimental....the beats are nothing new....shit is not experimental.....Explain why you consider the album experimental.

love yal

I belive Common and Drake are great artist! But Common has been around more years.

The difference between Ja rule and Drake
Ja makes songs like this

and Drake makes songs like this

The difference between Drake and Ja rule is evident when you bring up their content but I guess that's not important anymore because people on the IC don't like music anymore

I hope he says so Drake can have a reason why he shouldn't be held lyrically to the same standards every other contendable emcee is held to when they make GOAT-like claims.

I hope Common not only apologizes but he calls Drake and they do a duet freestyle in song form over the radio

They should also ask him why he dissing someone over taking his queen........ which is real hip hop right

Actually had this album back in the day, it sounds nothing like the Drake album. Next?

Different beats and voices. Same concept and execution.

Drake isnt doing anything new that Bell Biv Devoe, Ja Rule, LL, Nelly, and 50 didnt do 1st, but with more integrity.

Imma just say this real quick

1. I think Drake should respond, regardless of the "diss me and you'll never hear a response for it"

2. Common is one of my favorite rappers....Common>>>>>>Drake.


But here's the spin, Common has been around since the early 90s, his place in hip hop is cemented. Why the hell is he dissing a rapper only 2 albums deep? He should be going at someone more on his level, especially not someone who has said numerous times he won't respond to diss records.

The real kicker is this: When I hear of someone dissing Drake for being soft, the last person to come to mind is Common. Regardless of his beef with Westside Connect, dude has made plenty of "soft" jams. And that cannot be denied.

So now yall are in here acting like Common caught feeling over Serena?

Was she his wifey? Nope. Is there any proof that Drake was smashing here? Nope.

And I'm pretty sure Serena and Common been fucking whoever they want for the last couple years.

What's was the name of that one song L Boogie was tricking on?
I'll wait.

Picking on? Really cuz? so none of those three are capable of handling themselves?
I'm glad they running around the underground scene picking on non established.....oh wait........


@KingdomKame, lets be real, Drake couldn't take a nap on an airplane.
Serena got him as a shopping consultant

Listen, Common is one of the few wise elderstatesman of rap, this is not a good look. Like when KRS picked on Nelly, as much as I detest all that singing shit, it just werent right

But why does that matter though....shouldn't matter how long you've been in the game....

He was holding her tennis bags, people been dropping pics. They was going out for a minute
and there is footage of serena dancing around in drake's condo, which serena pulled down
common and drake both caught feelings

there was a thread on it as well

Like Water

I'm not sure exactly what's been said yet, seeing as how I haven't waded through all of the pages, but has anybody stated the obvious yet? The obvious being that "This is hip-hop". I'm pretty sure "rap" artists can be competitive without being involved in "beef". If Common wants to stake his claim as being the best lyricist/emcee and therefore steps on what the public perceives as the best, so be it.

Who can argue with the man? He's had some missteps, but his collective body of work overshadows the low points of his career.

Niggas act like hip-hop isn't supposed to be competitive. A lyricist is meant to mentally stay on his toes at all times. If Drake wants to throw his hat into the ring of "lyricism" then muthafucka be prepared for someone calling you out on it.

Popularity never equates to actual skill. I like Drake's music, but on Com's worst day Drake would get bodied on the lyrical side of things.

Common was dating Serena since 07
Serena starts shaking her ass at Drake house and playing tennis with him this year

I would hate it too if Common was bitchmade like that
Hes basically doing the same thing most you dudes hate Drake over for making Marvins room.

I saw the vid of her dancing.

Is there a picture of them hugged up or kissing?

For all you know Drake could have invited her over to do her hair or get some makeup tips.

But he don't got no reason to go at him
But they make the same time type of music
But Drake is a youngin getting picked on

Pick any of these reasons and you have the opposite side of the coins rebuttal in this thread.

Then Common coulda stepped to Kanye on those grounds or Jay, who is on his stature.
The fact that it is Drake smells more of a personal bias, with the Serena situation, disguised as rap competition, because Drake is not your competition. Jay is.
