"Common and Drake have been exchanging shots at one another over the past few weeks, with the former most recently releasing a scathing diss remix to Rick Ross’ “Stay Schemin.” Speaking with Sirius Hip-Hop Nation last night, the Chicago, Illinois native said that the battle is not because Drizzy was hanging out with his ex-girlfriend Serena Williams, but more because he took it to the next level.

“Well, the song ‘Sweet,’ for me, was a song where I was really talking about Hip Hop. A lot of the softer side of Hip Hop is just being the example of what people think Hip Hop is. To me, you can express yourself in many different ways, but I was just missing that hardcore Hip Hop, that raw Hip Hop sound, and I was just talking about it. I was saying, man, the song ‘Sweet’ was cats out there doing sweet music. Dude must have took offense to it, so he came out and said some things, and once he said something on record, I said something on record.”

Common Says Drake Beef Isn't Over Serena Williams & That He's Battling For Hip Hop

Com Sense explains the origins of the beef with Drizzy.

Common and Drake have been exchanging shots at one another over the past few weeks, with the former most recently releasing a scathing diss remix to Rick Ross’ “Stay Schemin.” Speaking with Sirius Hip-Hop Nation last night, the Chicago, Illinois native said that the battle is not because Drizzy was hanging out with his ex-girlfriend Serena Williams, but more because he took it to the next level.

“Well, the song ‘Sweet,’ for me, was a song where I was really talking about Hip Hop. A lot of the softer side of Hip Hop is just being the example of what people think Hip Hop is. To me, you can express yourself in many different ways, but I was just missing that hardcore Hip Hop, that raw Hip Hop sound, and I was just talking about it. I was saying, man, the song ‘Sweet’ was cats out there doing sweet music. Dude must have took offense to it, so he came out and said some things, and once he said something on record, I said something on record.”

Common asserts that he did not intend to specifically diss Drake, but once he responded in concert, the floodgates opened.

“That was the first thing that he responded and said something. I was like, well, I wasn’t trying to address you specifically, but if you feel like you are that person and if you’re addressing this to me, then I have to address you back,” he continued. “But my whole mentality was that I’m doing this for Hip Hop music. I’m not trying to bring somebody down. At the end of the day, I just expressed what I felt about Hip Hop. And I’ma keep it on that level, just as an emcee. That’s how I battle. I don’t try to battle any other way than emceeing.”

Contrary to rumors on the Internet, the battle is not over Com’s ex-girlfriend Serena Williams. Though Drake was spotted with her following their breakup, Common maintains that it’s all because the Young Money rapper fired back.

“We know that things can get like that, but that’s not what we want for the culture, for ourselves as men. I think we learned enough from those days to be like, OK, if you’re going to challenge me as an artist, an emcee, I’ma let you know who I am.

You just gotta know what you in it for. I got in this because it’s Hip Hop. I was speaking up on the song ‘Sweet’ about, over and over we’re hearing a lot of singing. I listen to R&B, I listen to good R&B and soul music, so I’m not opposed to singing. I’ma be frank about that. But I just spoke up for the art of Hip Hop and what I feel about it, and I want everybody to know that Hip Hop is a diverse culture and it does have that boom bap to it too. Once he said something back, that’s when I said, aight, I guess you want to get in a battle with me. And if that’s what you want, then I’ll battle.”

drake lovers will ignore this, as they have thus far.

hardcore hiphop =/= gangsta rap
Common's "sweet" was for sweet rappers as a whole. drake caught feelings and threw subliminals with the belief the whole track was a diss to him. It's like when the South caught feelings over Nas' album title Hip Hop is Dead. Since the south was getting the most mainstream time they took offense and thought it was about them.

speaking on true love is not simp, it's called maturity. sadly a lot of younger hip hop heads can't wrap their heads around this basic yet endearing notion.

recently ive read a lot of criticism on this site about the song come close, which was an ode to atcq's bonita applebum...but most of yall can't reference anything hip hop past 2000.

Does Common have enough influence to actually end it? In terms of respect across the board, he ain't respected nor remembered as a Jay or Nas to most Hip Hop listeners. Com can definitely damage him, but if this sweet shit gotta end, it has to come from the younger generation.

I kinda agree...though I dont see anyone from the "younger generation" steping up and calling his peers out...

I Fux With Both Common N Drizzy but COmmon is a Hypocrite this Nigga COmmon Said This

But I just spoke up for the art of Hip Hop and what I feel about it, and I want everybody to know that Hip Hop is a diverse culture and it does have that boom bap to it too.]

if that's the case, why Common bitch ass, jus didn't make a Boom Bap based album?

his last album was a techno album -Universal Mind Control

i didn't hear Boom Bap in blue sky ... dude is a lame, all this is about Serena, what line in "Stay Schemin" made Common think Drake was talkin about him???

Million dollar meetings in a Polo Lounge
