In the last week social media and the world of hip hop has erupted starting through a twitter tirade by rapper Meek Mill claiming his collaborator had ghost writers and thats the reason Drake didn’t tweet out out his recently  released  album Dreams Worth More Than Money which Drake is featured on, many people calling Drakes verse one of/if not the best  verse on the album. Drake stayed silent on all of his social media outlets until he released  a diss track called “Charged Up” six days ago to mixed reviews some stating it was too soft overs stating it was just ‘warning shots’. The World awaited a response from Meek, but no music came only a tweet calling Drakes track ‘ Baby Lotion soft” and mockingly acknowledging  Drake “wrote this himself”four days passed and no music came from the MMG emcee and almost out of  thin air Drake dropped another diss “Back To Back’ which contained many direct and aggressive shot at Meek as well as many quotable which would be turned into millions of memes on social media including ‘is that a world tour or your girls tour” and “shout to my boss b*tchs wifing n*ggas” which he imitates his label mate and friend Nicki Minaj adding more power to the diss. Yet again days passed and a response was pending many fans clowning Meek for taking too long till two days ago Meek dropped “Wanna Know” which features a sample of the legendary Undertaker which was met with mostly negative responses many claiming the battle is now “over” and millions of people including celebrities and even the  Toronto governor clowning Mill.

Now you know the background the real question has has it impacted Hip Hop negatively and positively. Firstly many people have been open to more artists beefing on wax for the traditional ‘sport’ of the genre and culture  which has been about from its infancy which has been welcomed but some, such as myself, have been dismayed by our generation to bandwagon by social media the amount of people who only listened to Meek’s response once and labelling “the worst diss i history” and Drakes “back to back” the best are just saying for followers and retweets which show has rap has been regressing as we expect beefs to be over in under a week when Nas took months to reply to Jay.

In my humble opinion Drakes first diss was okay with a few great bars firing warning shots and his second diss was very hard but not in the upper echelon of diss songs but was well stratgeized and planned out and Meeks seemed rushed and something thrown together. Hip Hop has benefited from hearing Drake at his best as an mc yet it hasn’t helped hip hop by showing how social media can warp peoples perception.
