Drake and Future ‘What a Time to Be Alive’ Release: Does the ‘Big Rings’ Rapper Diss Meek Mill on the Track?
Drake and Future released their highly-anticipated 11-track mixtape "What a Time to Be Alive" on Sunday during Drizzy's OVO Sound show on Apple's Beats 1 radio.
The duo's mixtape release is one of the most sensationalized events to date -- upstaged only by the "Digital Dash" rapper's beef with fellow rapper Meek Mill. In July, Mill publicly accused Drake of not writing his own lyrics when "Dreams Worth More Than Money" became the No. 1 album in the nation.
"Stop comparing drake to me too.... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out!" Mill tweeted.
His attempts to embarrass the OVO Sound founder fell flat, but it did start a heated feud between the two artists.
Drake followed "Dreams Worth More Than Money" with "DS2," which also took the No. 1 position, placing Future in an awkward position as Mill had said in an interview that he was a big fan of the Atlanta-based rapper.
Since "DS2," Future and Drake have quickly become closer collaborators and friends. While the "Where Ya At" rapper did not take a side in the Mill and Drake feud, Mill surely didn't appreciate one of his favorite artists teaming up with the rival that rained on his success.
The deciding factor for Future may have been when the "All Eyes on You" rapper blasted his DJ for playing too many Future tracks during his set at the Made in America festival earlier this month. Mill later said the incident reflected no hard feelings toward Future -- he simply wanted his DJ to spin a variety of recording artists.
There does not appear to be lyrics aimed at Mill on "What a Time to Be Alive" from Drake, but Future's "Big Rings" contribution does diss an artist who is a known battle rapper, and rumor has it that's the "Dreamchasers" rapper.
"You just a battle rapper, I'm a real rapper," raps the Freebandz boss, allegedly touching on Mill's early days as a battle rapper.
Future continues, "N*ggas droppin' subliminals, they're just some jibber jabber."
Many fans are convinced that Future is dissing Mill on the track. After all, what other battle rapper could he be referring to?
