So the rumour...or the reports rather, that Drake has called out Eminem for a rap battle has been making headlines all over social media and hip hop publications, both online and print.
My first reaction to this was, "how is it that my favorite rapper wants to commit a career suicide by battling the illest rapper to ever touch the mic?? Please don’t it…"
Now just in, a post by Montreal facebook page has updated that Drake brought out Eminem at his #SummerSixteen show in Detroit, and bowed down to the legend, calling him “the greatest to ever touch a microphone”. . .You got that one right suhn!
Well, if the reports about Champagne Papi challenging Slim Shady aren’t true, then I’m really happy about that! Nobody wants to see their favorite rapper being killed in a rap battle. . .When you are being killed in a feature, we can debate about it, have different views and it’s normal for every feature to have that one artist ripping it off. But a rap battle is a different ballgame.
In a feature, you get murked, you accept defeat and step it up on your next track, but in a rap battle it's not like that! For someone with Drake’s status, you gonna be trending for quite some time and you better brace yourself for those million memes.
Shouts to the 6-God and B-Rabbit…Real game changers and that “Forever” joint was just a certification stamp that Drake has officially made his mark in hip hop. We would really like to see more performances and features of Drizzy and Slim…Not a rap battle!
