Meek Mill: A Preview Of Drake Diss Response — His Version Of ‘Energy’ And Studio Video Release
Meek Mill’s energy has kept to Twitter for the most part. However, since Drake’s “Charged Up” and “Uncharged Up” releases, Mill has revealed preliminaries to the actual diss track.
While many have been awaiting Meek’s response to Drizzy, Meek dropped a humorous snippet on Twitter last night called “Beautiful Nightmare.”
While clever, it did generate a gang of public buzz. However, was that his actual comeback? It seems that a few audio and video pieces have re-surfaced as appetizers. As it turns out, Mill had recorded his own version of Drake’s “Energy” a few months ago. And as the rapper keeps to his own style, it’s anything but the definition of “meek.”
Though it’s not exactly a brand-new release, it’s far-spread from Drake’s version of the song and is an audio example of Mill’s ability to go against Drizzy. Accordingly, Meek’s “Energy” Remix tackles topics that Meek usually discusses in his verses — if you listen to him, you know them. However, more mellow parts of his hooks quote as follows.
“I got enemies got a lot of enemies. I don’t really f**k with these n***as in the industry. Know a couple n***as from the hood want to finish me. And put me on a t-shirt ‘RIP’ and memory…”
“I got enemies, got a lot of enemies. They were just cool with me hating. Call’m ‘frienemies’. I ain’t really trippin’. We got arms like a centipede. Cause if I lose my cool, I can turn’m all to memories.”
On “Charged Up,” Drake spoke about Mill “snitching without an interrogation.” If you heard Daylyt’s verse on “Uncharged Up,” you’ll know that he spoke about Meek Mill’s run-in with law enforcement from years ago as well.
With those references in mind, it’s understood that “snitching” isn’t really a good thing in hip hop culture. The culture itself is based on expression against the powers-that-be — and rather than conforming to rules and laws which limit, expressing who you really are. Snitching somewhat implies that you’d rather side with those powers, regardless of good or bad intentions.
In Meek’s case, it can’t really be said that the intentions are the best. It’s one thing to call an artist out in order to put his skill to the test, but it’s another thing to bring up possible career-ending allegations.
However, this wouldn’t be the first time Meek has gone up against someone, as you all know. Relevantly, in the Mill’s re-surfaced video in the studio, he mentions that the entire thing was a freestyle.
So given an example of his off-the-top flow, what’s in store for Drake if Meek really puts some intense thought into something seriously about him? Will he have to go at Safaree as well? He recently made a diss track about the couple. In it, Samuels mentioned that Mill dreams of Drake’s numbers in his worst dreams.
