I never thought Drake would come at Pusha and Kanye this hard.

Paak - Bubblin is dope.
*Drake’s writers
Drake did his thing. Skepta killed his part on Testing.
Yeah, productions on Daytona are dope as feck but Pusha's as monographic as it gets, same ol' same ol' about selling dope.
You lot are crazy, I could listen to Pusha's creative references about dope all day. He's never going to change.
Not sure if its considered commercial music but Royce's Book of Ryan is the one of the best albums to come out recently. Very personal and autobiographical album.

Not feeling the A$AP Rocky album at all, I think I just don’t like the style of hip hop that’s in vogue at the moment.
Yeah same. ASAP has some good songs but his albums are watered down with the stoner vibe tracks which I can't sit through due to the beats and super slow flow he brings to them.
90% of the time I just stick Outkast, Nas and other 90s/00s legends on shuffle on Spotify and I can sit and listen to their catalogue of music without skipping a track. Things have changed in hip hop and not for the better, for me personally.
Aye. I will never get tired of coke rap from Push. Still run the Clipse albums every now and then (I always thought Malice was the better rapper)
Edit: probably my favorite verse from Malice foreshadowing his conversion:

I like those the most about him.
Pusha’s album is fantastic. Wish he rounded it off to 10 tracks though. The production from Kanye was perfection for the album concept.
Were any of you guys into the Hell Hath No Fury album? It was absolutely incredible, and one of my favourite albums EVER. 100% production by The Neptunes and received glowing reviews from all respected media websites and journalists.
Certified classic.

It's a brilliant album, not one bad track.

Anyone got any news of The Game's new album or Rick Ross' - 'Port of Miami 2' album?
That was probably my favourite track. The simplicity of the beat is bliss!
"Classic album" is used far too loosely to describe albums that have a collection of good songs on it.
I agree. HHNF is certainly certified though - 12 years on since its release and it’s still almost a hidden gem amongst rap music.
Hello New World.
I'd disagree, it's just a great album. Not every great album is a classic.
A classic, to me at least, needs to be a defining piece of work that will be remembered through the ages and has an impact on even the casual listener.
A 'certified classic' is something that nobody would question like Illmatic because it needs to be almost be formally recognised as a fact.
HHNF isn't that.
Hidden gem it is.
But that's my opinon, my bar for naming classic albums is extremely high, because that term has just been so watered down and I think it does a disservice to hip-hop by being so watered down.
Aubrey done fecked up.
Hell Hath No Fury is a classic. I don't think that is setting the bar too low. It's the Clipse's best album, made cohesive with Pharrell's grimey production. The rhymes from Malice and Push were introspective and multilayered. Bragging on Mr. Me Too was countered by paranoia on Nightmares.
When I think of classic coke rap albums, Kool G Rap's trilogy, OB4CL, Reasonable Doubt, TM101 come to mind. HHNF is in that pantheon.

I have always said that Drake should have stuck with "diss me you'll never hear a reply for it".
As a Drake stan - that Pusha diss was hard, he went in.
I knew he had a son though, but the blackface picture? Yeah that’s disgusting.
I won’t count drake out just yet though.

There's also a few digs at Drake not really being ''black'' enough. Which is just awful and low bar shite.
I'm with @vi1lain on this one. I had completely forgotten about HHNF. An album can be great on all scales but to become a classic there has to be something groundbreaking and freshness in it. Something unforgettable, deep nice rhymes and brilliant beats is not enough.
Styles P - G-Host album is very good.
Yeah I don’t agree with that at all tbh, there was no reason for it considering the beef wasn’t about drake’s ‘blackness’ nor should it be under question.
But then in a rap battle there’s no room for personal feelings.
I thought the most brutal was about 40 being hunched over, considering his MS.
Drake is a massive fan of Little Brother so there is chance he was trying to do a Minstrel Show homage.
Yeah I've seen that.
I still disagree with the idea of questioning someone's blackness just because they are mixed race.
That being said, there's no excuse for blackface, ever.
Good catch. This is also where I declare The Minstrel Show a classic.
Drake got bodied.
"Blackness" lol
Drake's one hell of a pop star but he gets chewed up and spat out by every real MC that goes after him with so much as a bar.
What's funny? I missed the joke.
I thought he did well with the first diss track but who knew Push would bring a fecking uzi to a pillow fight?
The line about Drake's dad abandoning him and then Drake abandoning his son in return was savage.
The whole concept of "Blackness". It's ridiculous.

The whole thing was death by a thousand chainsaw cuts. It's amazing anyone can get a new hot-take on Drake considering how many have torn him apart.
Drake just sings some pop songs through every Diss he ever encounters. The masses wave and scream. Hip Hop sighs and shrugs every time.
With all that said, Hip Hop is basically a recorded Roast-Battle in this day and age. Even the biggest blows feel like they're thrown with an agreed spot that they can land in.
How so?
I don't think Drake was prepared for Push. His baby mama instagram went from public to private in 5 mins after the track hit soundcloud.
Uh. Oh.
