New Music: Drake: Diplomatic Immunity
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
[Verse]
Diplomatic immunity, fuck 'em
All that peace and that unity
All that weak shit'll ruin me, fuck 'em, yeah
'Cause niggas started talkin' to me like I'm slowin' down
Opinions over statistics, of course
Gassed off journalistic
Come at me and all you'll get is the ballistic report
Booked a private room at Wylie's, waiter twistin' the cork
I got multi-colored rings like the Olympics, of course
At award shows, cuttin' through the tension, of course
Girls huggin' me then askin' me, "What scent that is, boy?"
I be walkin' around the Six like I invented it, boy
Yeah, who am I? The do or die
The one with the fewest lies and the truest ties
They try to compare us
But like a job straight outta high school there's no you and I
I taught you everything you know, now you got student pride
All factual, I call the house "the embassy"
The studio "the chapel", I hate to travel
I just pulled up on Solana show, the girl's a natural
I knew her way back when Hollywood was international
Yeah, the furthest I've been, that's word to my ends
Word to the flags that belong in the hood of my Benz
Very presidential, I broke all the codes for zonin' in my residential
I broke spirits that I never meant to
My body isn't much of a sacred temple, with vodka and wine
And sleep at the opposite times
Promise shit is gettin' outta line like when you make a stencil
Or gettin' outta line like when you break a pencil
Violatin' the Treaty of Versailles
Champagne is the alias, but no cease and desist in I
I refuse to comply with regulations
I listen to heavy metal for meditation, no silence
Like Sanders on the Detroit Lions
Get a run around and I'll bury you where they won't find ya
Motor City Casino, I'm at the cage with my old license
They tell me "don't worry, I got your money" like Osirus
(I'm the Osiris of this shit)
Dirty 30, workin' on me
Tired of women that may tag me in pictures airin' my dirty laundry
Caterin' is from Giorgio Baldi, Robyn's favorite
Shit is nice, but I prefer Madeo
Calamari rings and tomato
I got the sauce and now shorties keep claimin' preggo
Wakin' up at 6 PM like, "Where does the day go?"
Forecastin' tornadoes, brainstormin' retaliation at dinner tables
2010 was when I lost my halo
2017 I lost a J. Lo
A Rotterdam trip had me on front page though
I had to lay low, Hot Topic like your everyday clothes
Closed off but I could never stay closed
Billboard awards, I claimed 13 out in Vegas like Sureños
Black excellence, but I guess when it comes to me it’s not the same though, all goodie
That just pushed me to do the things we all couldn’t
Niggas stakin' out the crib, it’s all gravy
Protection that God gave me
Shit is complex like short niggas 'round tall ladies
I gotta watch who I’m talkin' to like it’s all agents
I’ve seen buddin' careers turn to sit around and talk about other careers, judgin' their peers
Knowledge from niggas who did not contribute to none of this here
Cover my ears, my security government tier
Yeah, advance the venue so we know the exits
Check the guest list
If opps make an appearance at least it’s expected
Tell ‘em I don’t wanna link like a broken necklace
I’ll be in better company with my own reflection
Mirror, mirror, on the ceilin' of my suite in the Royal Palace
The TV playin' Al Jazeera
Inshallah, I hope the mission keeps on gettin' clearer
Whenever, wherever, OVO will always be together like Shakira
[Outro]
I love, I love
I love, I love it
Baby, I

Good. Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks are both lame. They both wish they were on Drake level and had the success he has had.
He need to worry about not beating his baby mama like he beat his last girlfriend. Joe is a pussy. He hate the success the South has had in Hip Hop. That's why he hated on the Migos. He is a bitch.
Maybe, but Migos are garbage and should be dissed. Would you agree?
Just because the new generation like their music does not make it garbage. If they like it and is supporting their music then it's not for me to judge what they like or don't like.
They supported Vanilla Ice and Hammer too. I didn't say it wasn't successful or hot. Im just saying they aren't good @ the art of emcing.
if this means more greasy bars on the podcast and another lyrical evisceration from Budden, I'm here for it.
no lie though if Everyday Struggle was still on - Monday would be hilarious -
instead got to wait til Wednesday
What can Budden say though? Nobody is gonna take him serious. He is just a gossip act now. He haven't been shit since "Pump it up"

Hammer had some rap skills. Not so much Vanilla Ice though.
Writers have jobs. They get paid to write verses. Artists get paid to perform those songs. It's simple as that. Just like how actors/actresses get paid to play a role that was written for them.3 listens - decent song ....
I wonder how many writers came together to pen it?
seriously... how do you have 81 writers for 20 songs on one album?
makes sense...
so the 2nd hottest rapper today - is really an ex/current actor portraying an MC...
Hip hop is all acting. All hip hop artists are actors. Nobody is different than anyone else when it comes to that. Ghostwriters have been apart of hip hop since it first started. Some people just like to hate on rappers for having ghostwriters but little that they know is it's been apart of the game since the beginning of it.
Its Ok...
all MCs are rappers
but not all rappers are MCs...
Drake does act accordingly when real MCs are in the room
MCs have ghostwriters too. KRS-One spoke on this before about ghostwriters. He said they been around since the beginning of hip hop. I take his word for it since he is a legend.
Its Ok...
all MCs are rappers
but not all rappers are MCs...
Drake does act accordingly when real MCs are in the room
he can only speak for himself and those he saw -
so what rhyme did he admit someone wrote for him?

He knows more about hip hop than me and you so I take his word.
I don't know what rhyme he said someone wrote for him.
he never admitted to having a writer...
you confusing rapper with MC
also how many real MCs dissed KRS without a reply?
I didn't say he said he had a writer I said he said they been around since the beginning of hip hop.
yeah -for rappers and entertainers like Drake, not for real MCs...
Drake knows he ain't an MC- that's why he never has bars for a lyricist ...
the 2x he goes after Budden is when he thinks there wouldn't be a reply
Budden was just saying last week that they're cool now
I don't know fam.... They both were the same to me, but I think Vanilla Ice had ghostwriters. Wack ass raps, but they had the crossover gimmick. I think Hammer was ahead of his time with the marketing though
yeah- your knowledge of hip hop is very weak
Hammer and Vanilla Ice the same or similar? you really should educate yourself on who / what Hammer was...
Thats almost as bad as fucking up on who E40 is
Naw, bro. My hip-hop history is solid. And you have me confused. I didn't say anything about E-40. @ least not in this thread. Hammer lyrics always been wack. You need a reminder. Qtip, and Grand Puba dissed hammer. He even dropped the MC off his name to show respect for the true spitters.
MC Hammer and vanilla ice whole gimmick was the dance moves,they have a lot in common. Two wack rappers trying to out dance each other. I like hammer but the rhymes always been ass.
I know about all that, way more than those 2 dissed him -and who dissed him has nothing to do with with it...Naw, bro. My hip-hop history is solid. And you have me confused. I didn't say anything about E-40. @ least not in this thread. Hammer lyrics always been wack. You need a reminder. Qtip, and Grand Puba dissed hammer.

no matter how you cut it - there is no comparison there - you should know better
than to compare Hammer to Vanilla Ice...
Are you saying Hammer had bars? Do you have a quotable from him? He was down for his people, maybe too much. But they both are similar.
Drake is not a MC of course, he never said he was one. He is a rapper/actor/entertainer.yeah -for rappers and entertainers like Drake, not for real MCs...
Drake knows he ain't an MC- that's why he never has bars for a lyricist ...
the 2x he goes after Budden is when he thinks there wouldn't be a reply

MCs just to name a few are Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One. MCs do not exist anymore since hip hop has changed. It's more about entertainment now than it was back in the day.
how?
dude that wrote for Ice at the time was decent lyrically... but anyway Ice was dead after that single and the movie, he was literally touring for years on a single- thats it.
Expecting dope lyrics from Hammer would be like expecting lyricism from Luke...
Hammer has a catalog, toured on it, and built a complete show.
