Meek Mill Loses Again

By Anny Jules.         By Getty Images

It’s pretty safe to say that Meek Mill has had a ROUGH two weeks. As his beef with Drake continues to get messier and messier, Drake has consistently come out on top while Meek’s comebacks have been less than memorable. 

After releasing his weak diss “Wanna Know,” Drake came back even harder with “Back to Back” where he questioned Meek’s masculinity. 

To make matter’s worse, Drake performed his Meek Mill disses “Charged up” and “Back to Back” at OVO fest earlier this week alongside a giant screen of famous Instagram memes clowning Meek. 

Ouch. 

So what did Meek do?

Well, while opening up for Nicki Minaj at her PinkPrint tour in Charlotte, NC Meek threatened to give Drake a wedgie

We’re not kidding folks. 

Meek also said "everybody catching bullet holes, including Drake and the whole OVO.”

Hey Meek, here’s some advice. No more comebacks.

“Drake Slaughters Meek Mill Again With “Back to Back”Diss”

So, we reported earlier about Meek Mill making allegations about Drake having a ghost writer and Drake “kind of responding,” but now, Drake is all about the business. He released his first response “Charged Up.” Now, on “Charged Up,” Drake spit very calm, had a few punchlines here and there, and got his point across. Everyone nodded their head and gave him a “touché, my brotha.” Then at 3AM Wednesday morning the game completely changed. Still with no response from Meek Mill after the release of “Charged Up,” Drake dropped ANOTHER ONE- “Back to Back.” Drake hit above the belt, below the belt, the chest, and everywhere else. A few great quotables:

“Yeah, trigger fingers turn to twitter fingers
Yeah, you gettin' bodied by a singin' nigga
I'm not the type of nigga that'll type to niggas”

Drizzy said this due to the fact that Meek Mill has done nothing but be a “Twitter thug” instead of actually coming back at Drake after making such bizarre allegations.

That line was tough, but there was a real kicker mention in the freestyle that Meek just may not recover from. I’m sure you are all aware that Meek Mill has been tagging along with his girlfriend Nicki Minaj on her Pink Print tour that she is headlining. Sure enough, Drake just had to go there:

“You love her, then you gotta give the world to her.

Is that a world tour or your girl's tour?

I know that you gotta be a thug for her.

This ain't what she meant when she told you to open up more.”

…Yup, he went there. Listen to the track yourself here: https://soundcloud.com/octobersveryown/drake-back-to-back-freestyle

Lupe Fiasco Speaks on Meek Mill’s Ghostwriting Accusations Against Drake

By Yumia Hobbs.      By Getty Images

You may or may not know that Tuesday night rapper, Meek Mill, went on a thug-tweet rampage calling out Drake and making an earth-shattering accusation that Drake doesn’t write his own raps; therefore insinuating that Drake has a ghost writer. Of course, Twitter went into a frenzy and quickly began researching to find out who, if the accusations were true, was ghostwriting for Drake. Just minutes later, “Black Twitter” had a name and YouTube videos on deck. The alleged ghostwriter’s name is Quentin Miller. Now it seems there are very mixed opinions regarding this accusation against Drake. Some brushed it off and deemed the accusation as being asinine. Some completely flipped their tops and instantly became distraught at the idea that one of the hottest rappers in the game was fraud. Lupe Fiasco is one of the first and possibly the only rapper to speak out on the accusation. According to Lupe’s Instagram:

(Part one):

“To rappers from a rapper...simply write your own rhymes as much as you can if you are able. Ghostwriting, or borrowing lines, or taking suggestions from the room has always been in rap and will always be in rap. It is nothing to go crazy over or be offended about unless you are someone who postures him or herself on the importance of authenticity and tries to portray that quality to your fans or the public at large. Then we might have a problem. Some of the most pivotal moments in rap have been ghostwritten verses. This leads to a bigger point. Rapping is not an easy thing to do. It's takes years of work and trial and error to master some of its finer points. Respect from other MC's comes in many formats. Sales, live performances, realness etc but the one thing that is the most important is the raps themselves at least in the eyes of other serious rappers. The phrase "I'm not a rapper" gets thrown around as if it's a badge of honor. And that's fine. If rap is a side hustle for you or just a come up then by all means may the force be with you. But I know a lot of MC's where rap is the first love and the first thing they think about when they wake up and the last thing they think about when they go to sleep. Rappers who pursue the art form with this level of intention may not become rich and famous off selling their raps to a wide audience but that has never been an accepted metric to begin with in terms of quality or level of skill. The vast majority of rappers will never sell 100 records in their lifetimes let alone millions. But that's not the point, the point is that what pursuing the craft gives us in terms of the intangibles is something that record sales or fame could never represent. We achieve a mastery of language and poetics that competes on the highest levels of discourse across the entirety of human history. We express ourselves creatively and attain a sense of liberation and self-esteem via this sacred mode of creation and communication.”

(Part two):

“Modern Radio and the commercial realm of music has injured rap. It set up ambiguous rules and systems for success that don't take into consideration the quality and skill of the rappers craft. It redefined rap as just being a beat driven hook with some words in between and an entire generation has surrendered to chasing the format instead of chasing the art form. While mastering any format should be the pursuit of any self-respecting rapper including the commercial format it must be kept clear that it is just one of many formats and that you should strive to master all of them. The art form is kept alive and progressive in the activities of the tens of thousands of rappers around the world who are everyday trying to think of that next witty bar. Trying to put that crazy verse together while at work. Trying to find that word that rhymes with catapult so they can finish off that vivid story rap about their childhood. Meek Mill struck a nerve accusing Drake of having a ghostwriter and the entire rap world reacted on all sides of the fence because rap is alive. It's active and it feels. Its rules and traditions are vibrant and responsive. I enjoy both these brothers music and find inspiration and appreciation from both of them. I remember being in Toronto at Goodfoot years ago and it was a stack of CD's on the counter and the guy behind the counter was like "Lupe you gotta take this CD. It's my mans mixtape." I didn't really pay it any mind I took it to the car and looked it over and just kind of set it aside focused on other things. I vividly remember saying "what kind of rap name is Drake?" The rest is history. Once while in Philly I went to do an interview in a shabby and very hood basement studio complex. I peeked into one of the rooms and it was this tall kid with his shirt off bouncing up and down in the booth with an energy that was electric. I gave him my regards. He gave them back. I think I mentioned something about him cutting his dreads. As I left I remember him rapping something about being a boss. The rest is history. At the end of the day, for better or worse, rap is alive even if some of its greatest moments are written by ghosts.”

Now that's a mouth-full for ya!

How do y’all feel about the accusations against Drake? Are you buying it?

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill Show Major PDA on Pinkprint Tour

By Anny Jules.        By Getty Images

Social media users were throwing shade at Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill for their lackluster kiss on Meek’s recent webisode last week, but Omeeka most definitely silenced those haters when they performed together on the Pinkprint tour in Dallas, Texas.

Nicki not only performed her love song “All Eyes on You” with Meek, she kissed him several times on stage and even took a moment to lick his face! 

Meek naturally responded with a huge grin and pulled Nicki close to him as he grabbed her waist. 

“I don’t want to kiss. I just wanna lick you,” Nicki said on the mic. 

Meek responded, “I must be a lucky-ass n*gga.” 

That you are Meek. 

Check out Omeeka’s steamy PDA performance here:

Nicki Minaj Wants a Ring Before a Baby

By Anny Jules.         By Getty Images

During a recent interview with  Shade 45’s DJ Superstar Jay, Meek Mill expressed his desire to impregnate his beau Nicki Minaj in the near future.

“ I wish,” Meek said in response to Nicki’s pregnancy rumors. “I already tweeted that five years ago, so it should be happening later. Sooner or later, when we ready for that.”

But despite their growing romance, Nicki recently made it very clear that she will not get pregnant unless she is married. 

Following Meek’s interview, Nicki tweeted a snarky response to Mill. 

Check it out below. 

“No matter wut he, or anyone else says, Onika Tanya Maraj won't b pushing anyone1 out her vajayjay, until she's married. Now check that.”

In addition to responding to Meek’s  recent interview, Nicki also responded to the comments rapper Joe Budden made about her relationship on his podcast. 

During a recent episode of his weekly podcast, Joe said he disapproved of Meek’s new “sappy” personality now that he is romantically linked to Nicki, MTV reports. 

"Part of my problem with that is that Meek's music is too hard,” Joe said. "Meek's music is too hard for me to look at him with this f**king sappy f**k s**t. Be the hardcore guy that I'm sure she was attracted to at some point. It's nasty. I hate everything about it.”

Nicki quickly took to Twitter to defend her boyfriend and posted the following tweet: 

“Why would you be bothered by another man showing love to his girl? Let's celebrate black love. All the best w/ur podcast. All jokes aside.”

S/O to Nicki for wanting the ring first before the baby. If love is truly in a relationship, there’s no reason to rush a child into the equation. Slow and steady wins the race! 

Was Joe out of pocket for commenting on Meek and Nicki’s relationship or do you agree with him?  Sound off below!
