Got Beef? Common - Stay Schemin' (Drake Diss)

What a great way to start off a morning.

Common admitted that his The Dreamer/The Believer track "Sweet" was aimed at Drake when he took to Power 105's Breakfast Club show a few weeks ago.  I was curious to see if Drake would directly respond, but he stayed strictly subliminal when he fired back on the Rich Forever single "Stay Schemin."

With lines like "Back when if a nigga reached it was for the weapon/Nowadays niggas reach just to sell they record..." it was clear who Drake was talking about. His verse was one of the best on Ross's entire mixtape and was the complete opposite of sweet this time.

"Stay Schemin" has only been out for three days and Common's already got a response to Drake's verse.  To make it even more disrespectful, his response is on the SAME SONG, AND he leaves Drake's verse on his remix of the Rick Ross track!!

Listen to Common's "Stay Schemin'" diss below, and weigh in using the comments below! I want to talk about this!

Bow Wow - Talking About [Music Video]

I'm angry.  >:-O

Instead of giving us updates on his new album, Bow Wow continues to focus on what other people think about him when I'm not sure that anyone even cares anymore.  Underrated is supposed to be dropping soon, but with tracks like this I don't know if Bow's building momentum or not. Let me know your thoughts on the "Talking About" music video by hitting me up on Facebook and Twitter!

Lloyd - Feel Like June [Full, No Tags]

It's been a while since I've heard a metaphor used so effortlessly in an R&B slow jam. Usually it's something so outrageous that I laugh instead of feeling its intended #Sertafied vibe.  A snippet from Lloyd's new track "Feel Like June" surfaced back in November, but now we get the whole thing and I'm feeling it. I'd love it more if he could've chosen July as the month but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

B.o.B & Waka Flocka - Fist Pump [Studio Session]

When rappers announce who they're working with, they may tweet it, say it in an interview, or drop an edited studio session video after the recording has taken place.  B.o.B and Waka Flocka are taking it a step further by being completely transparent and Ustreaming their collaboration for their party track "Fist Pump" live.

Watch the recording session below, and let me know what you think about the ATLiens' collab! Also, if you get all the way through just let me know. Does Waka write his rhymes down before he raps them? Thanks.
