I'm not being funny either. It was some real calculated work by Meek and some real sloppy work by Drake.
Basic rundown:
Drake drops new song on his OVOsound radio show "Summer 16" (It's not nearly as good as "Charged Up" or "Back to Back" just to let you know) and announces his album due in April (I think Meek's album comes out then too)
VERY SHORTLY (like 15 minutes) after, Meek drops "4/4 part 2" (another 4-song mixtape like his last one).
One song in particular "War Pain", directly addresses the "Summer 16" track Drake just put out. Just for fyi, he even has a nice song with Future, yea Future.
You really have to listen to the songs but I'll try to go in more detail below. But before getting into the actual songs....the funny part....these *****s are actually in the same hotel, in Toronto, one floor apart. Drake in the room right above with his team, Meek in the room right below with Nicki
2016 beef.
Now here's where the W comes in.
Go have a listen for yourselves though. I'm sure a lot of people are tired of this beef but trust this turn of events is actually worth the time. You really wouldn't have expected something like this to go down

"Summer 16" likely was the most miscalculated thing Drake has done in a while. Dude finds out Nicki and Meek are staying in Toronto at the Four Seasons, so he gets a room above them for him and all his boys....they're even all wearing the same thing apparently....so he can drop this track of "bullet proof verses" (song reference) in the same hotel while Meek is "going to bed" (song reference). He talks a lot of shit in this song. Claims to be the new Jay...has a bigger pool then Kanye..you should listen or genius the lyrics it's something.
Now as I said, only 15 minutes later, Meek comes back and addresses nearly EVERY reference in this song. The time frame is so short and the lines are so specific that either he guessed Drake would drop a track, stayed up and waited for the drop, and recorded his response in 15 minutes (impressive, sad), or he had to know beforehand what Drake's move was going to be. According to Meek, Drake's ghostwriter for the "Summer 16" track told him (deeeeuuumm). I ain't gone lie, I listened to Summer 16 first, and I didn't think Drake wrote it to start with. The bars sounded more like a failed "what would Drake say?" track. Meek basically turned his move upside down and smacked him up in his own city in all of 15 minutes. Not a good look for the 6 God. Once you listen to the tracks you really get an idea of just how much of a ball drop this was for Drake especially after executing his last two tracks so well. It's like they switched roles or something.
