If you weren’t by a Wifi all of Saturday, you missed a lot. Aside from a possible World War III potentially popping off, Drake dropped an explosive diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, Future, The Weeknd, and Rick Ross. Less than five business hours later, Ross has responded with his own diss track: “CHAMPAGNE MOMENTS” (You rappers really aren’t going to let me take a bite out of my sandwich, are you?).
If we’re being real, this diss track is so-so. I love the dramatic, mafia-like production and how Rick Ross slides over it, but I don’t love his lyrics. In his first verse, he talks big, bringing up his luxurious items, being ready for war, and succeeding while everyone else is failing. In Ross’s second verse, his disses get more intense and direct. He calls Drake a white boy several times and says he switched up. He also essentially calls Drake a chump who never fought in school, someone who got all of his Juice from Lil Wayne, someone who has ghostwriters, someone who doesn’t have more money than him, and a white boy who wants to hang with black people. I just feel like the disses in the first verse were a little too vague, while the disses in the second verse were just cool.
The outro is where Rick Ross’s s**t-talking is the most intense. In it, he claims Drake had surgery on his nose, that he unfollowed him because he sent French Montana a cease and desist letter, and that he wants him to pay Wayne and Baby more dues. In other words, s**t gets VERYYYY personal during the outro.
This sounds like a really good album cut.
