You guys know Joe has disses ready for any potential opponent right?
He could have likely dropped all three of those disses at once if he wanted to. Joe writes hundreds of bars in advance for his opponents. You can hardly call what he does responses sometimes, because he's not even going to give the other rapper's track a chance to breath.
Joe has turned around and dropped on dudes like Saigon directly after they made disses towards him. He's always war ready.
Joe's only competition in this battle is Drake's star power. Even if Drake was to respond, non Drake stans and people that don't adhere to this new hip hop popularity contest logic know that Joe can rap circles around him. Unfortunately, the aforementioned people are the majority. That's what Joe would be up against. Gas.
I doubt Drake dedicates a diss to Joe. He'll likely stick to jabs that only the people actually paying attention will notice.
All of that aside, the funniest thing I've gotten from this beef is the evidence of Drake studying Joe Budden early on. It was literally as if he was doing a Joe Budden impression. If you haven't paid any attention to Joe's body of work you probably wouldn't notice, but he really executed this man's style down to the way he stretches the last syllable of the line.
