No One Wins If ‘Mr. Drizzy’ Responds
by Staff Editor
According to the Twittersphere, the world wants “Mr. Drizzy” to spar with The Throne dweller. For any hip-hop fan, it seems like the obvious next move. But these two entities are known for playing chess, not checkers. And honestly, while a lyrical back-and-forth between student and teacher would be great entertainment for a genre that seems to have gone from a full contact sport to two-hand tag, it’s not the best bet for either rapper. Let’s say Drake responds, right? And him and Jay go to war; one of the two will lose and their legacy will be forever changed. Either 1.) Jay knocks off one of the biggest and most promising acts in hip hop or 2.) Drake makes an Iverson-style crossover against Jay Z, making him look his age. Or of course, there’s always the diplomatic approach where they stalemate and fans gets pissed off because they got hype over nothing

Why does the tone of conversation have to be so absolute regarding the outcome of these 2 battling?
“Either 1.) Jay knocks off one of the biggest and most promising acts in hip hop or 2.) Drake makes an Iverson-style crossover against Jay Z, making him look his age.”
Orrr 3.) Drake shows he’s no pushover, goes hard for once and proves he deserves to wear the crown. Then they hug it out and make up…? it’s all for sport anyway right? Is being afraid to lose a good reason for not fighting at all? Take Nas for example, using this logic he would’ve let the “ask Nas he don’t want it with Hov” line slide. Then you don’t get Takeover or Ether, and a GREAT moment in Hip-Hop.
Think about it, did MJ REALLY lose anything just cause AI crossed him up that once? Is his legacy in any way tarnished? Like really, look at where those two are now..
To your point that “nobody wins” I counter THE FANS OF HIP-HOP WIN.
It’ll be something for the history books….Drake gotta speak to the mic not rolling stones b
this nuffin JAY ONLY EXPLAINED HIMSELF HE DIDNT DISS NOBODY WHOEVER THE CUP FIT LET EM WEAR IT
