XXL: No one was expecting Drake to unleash a second diss track centered around Meek Mill, especially “Back to Back.” With Drake’s initial response, “Charged Up,” released Saturday (July 25), to mediocre reviews, it seemed Meek was arguably winning the highly publicized beef. Until today that is. Upon the unveiling of “Back to Back,” the venomous track Drake dropped after Meek and Hot 97 built up hype but did not deliver on Meek’s diss, allegedly set for release this Monday, the internet went crazy after hearing the Toronto star’s second comeback. With lines like “is that a world tour or your girl’s tour,” “trigger fingers turn to twitter fingers”, and “shout-out to all my boss b*tches wife-in ni**as;” Drizzy has undoubtedly occupied the throne of the ongoing beef. But, who’s to say Meek won’t come through with the hammer? Only time will tell. MORE
CNN: The photo features Joe Carter celebrating his walk-off home run, which secured a win for Toronto and was their second victory in a row. Drake titled his diss track “Back to Back,” referencing Toronto’s double win and Drake’s second diss track against Mill. Meek performed in Toronto yesterday and disappointed some fans by not releasing a Drake diss. Meek’s album is currently No. 7 on Billboard’s top 200 chart, while Drake’s latest album “If You’re Reading This it’s Too Late” is No. 13. Both albums peaked at No. 1 upon their release — Meek’s on July 11 and Drake’s on Feb. 13. In the tweet that sparked the feud, Meek addresses Drake not tweeting out his album, in which the Toronto MC is featured, and claims that Drake “don’t write his own raps” and that had he known this, he would never have asked Drizzy to be a guest artist on his album.
