Well I hate to rain on drake's Insomniac can't go to sleep at 5 am verse he just dropped but I guess he's is salty about that MTV list. He might as well called it, "It's 5 am and I'm Mad MTV didn't have me at #1 " lol. Why is he always feeling he has something to prove? even on the "Started from the Bottom" track. LOL @ "Nobody taking shots cause they need me, everybody on Safety" Really? Common? Luda? DMX? Pusha T? Lil Kim went at him for Dolo also.
Call them old or washed up if you will but the fact is they weren't scared to take shots. Maybe these youngin's dudes scared but all the OG's been taking shots. Talking about "f*ck your list, I made the forbes list" Congrats, I'm happy your making money but the Forbes List has nothing to do with rap skills man. Jay and Diddy been on the Forbes list since the 90's, being on Forbes ain't new for rappers man. Why can he just rap and have fun and live his life? all his verses are crying about how he isn't getting respect or his problems with fame and now it's he's starting from the bottom.
LOL @ "If I stay in The game it would be corpses". OK, now you are God's Gift to Hip Hop, LOL. Now you can battle everyone in the game? Didn't Em eat him up on "Forever"? didn't Jay eat him up on "Light up"? Also I don't praise rappers dissing RnB dudes. This is the same negro talking about "If you diss me I won't reply" yet he's still dissing Chris Brown, 1st on the Aaliyah track now here? And now he's going at the Weeked. I mean really?
With all that said. Beat was tough. And Yes Drake Flow has settled in and I think he's found himself as an emcee. Honestly what I took from the verse was, "I'm hot on the charts, I'm Rich, I have the most #1 rap singles, I'm on all the features, I'm the Best, F*ck MTV list, F*ck you dudes that don't have an album out, etc, etc, etc" it was basically a Rant cause he's obviously not happy he came in at #5 on that MTV list. I leave this post with a NaS quote and it applies to Drake. Don't let this success go to your head, plenty of Emcees had a hot start in Hip Hop History:
"Oh You went Platinum, Yea that's nice. Now let me see you do the same thing twice, two times, three times, then a couple of more times" - NaS
