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!
