Rumours of a row between Drake and Common are escalating after a series of new tracks.
Ah, the world of hip hop beefs. Often, arguments escalate from the most subtle, the most subliminal of rhymes. Case in point? What’s going on between Drake and Common.
The Canadian rapper recently cracked the mainstream, with his recent album topping the Billboard charts. However some in the hip hop world aren’t happy about his flow, which they feel isn’t hard enough.
Common tackled the subject of ‘Soft’ rappers on recent single ‘Sweet’ with rhymes which were largely believed to be aimed at Drake.
The Canadian MC fired back with lyrics on the Rick Ross cut ‘Stay Schemin’ which defended his position. Now Common has ignited the row once more, releasing a remix of ‘Stay Schemin’ with extra rhymes. (via RapFix)
