Meek Mill reportedly took to social media last month to declare that he was “not entertaining no rap/real beef over Drake” after a two-month beef with the Toronto rapper.
However, Jahlil Beats says that he doesn’t think Meek Mill has said his last about the battle.
“I don’t think it’s over,” the producer says on CBS Radio’s Play.it podcast. “I know Meek Mill. I just feel like we made history. This is the first real beef in the social media age. Two top artists. Meek is coming off a number one album. Drake been accomplishing so much.”
In July, the Philadelphia rapper took to Twitter to say that Drake doesn’t write his own raps. Drake responded with two diss tracks, which Jahlil Beats says weren’t very impressive to him. He details hearing “Back To Back,” Drake’s second of the songs, with Meek Mill and seeing it as a challenge.
“I thought it was dope that he was actually rapping because I honestly didn’t expect Drake to even say anything,” the producer says. “I thought he was going to sweep it under the rug, but the fact that he even came out and dissed him twice, I was like ok, alright we going to have some fun now. That’s pretty much what it was. I don’t think that it was too crazy. I think that he was trying to bait him. I think it was really overhyped on the Internet honestly.”
Meek Mill then released his only Drake diss track so far, “Wanna Know,” which Jahlil Beats produced. He sampled the theme song for the WWE wrestler The Undertaker.
“I just thought sampling something like that would be a movie,” he says. “It was like the entrance. It came from left field. I don’t think people would even imagine him coming back to a beat like that. I knew it would throw people off.”
One of the jabs Drake takes at Meek Mill on “Back To Back” is calling him “Twitter fingers” for igniting the feud on the social media platform. Jahlil Beats doesn’t see a problem with his friend’s use of the Internet to express himself.
“At the end of the day, I think people need to focus on the fact that this is good for Hip Hop,” he says. “People don’t really appreciate the dude because of what he does on social media, but think about this, imagine if Tupac had Twitter or Instagram. Everybody so sensitive nowadays. Let people speak their mind. Everybody so sensitive about everything. It’s just crazy.”
Jahlil Beats says that he and Meek Mill are continuing to make music and that the rapper’s body of work is ultimately what will define his career.
“You can make the best diss record ever and put out hot trash afterwards,” he says. “I think a lot of dudes where their careers ended, a lot of these rappers stopped making music. They went on a little hiatus. We back working again. We got some records coming.”

Can this feud just die already?
LMAO nigga mad everyone hated his shit so he saying Drake’s shit was wack
My name says it all. Salute to the reigning king of hip-hop, the 6God!
Aubrey will never be king of shit in the real world.
fuck fake drake! may throat cancer strike him down!
wackest beef in hip hop
Wanna Know was str8 garbage.
Wait…first it “wasn’t really impressive” then it was “Dope”…you sound as sure as your career does. I don’t bump either one of these cats. (Farnsworth Bentley Voice)But I must say dear sir, your boy got trashed on some Hip-Hop shit.. Meek pumped faked his own demise…Don’t even let me start with “His body of work, will tell his career story” …. Im dead with laughter
Jahlil Beats is making excuses. Back 2 Back is fiyah. Might as well have called it Ether 2015.
Hell no. Please don’t compare back 2 back to Ether. No comparison. Drake is no Nas!
You just went to far that hip hop fuckery with punch lines and no facts that is hot garbage that little kids find catchy. Don’t you ever compare that shit to ether
Nas may be a better lyricist. Drake is the better artist.
jumpman, jumpman, jumpman, dem boyz up to sumthin’, KING DRIZZY IS NUMBER #1 MAN!!!
Everybody makes mistakes ye without sin cast the first stone we all have our share of problems
Nobody’s interested in this weak beef….. jay z vs nas was harder…..canibus vs ll was harder. Meek vs drake was weak as hell I couldn’t listen to any of the joints without switching off
i’ll second that. it was one sided. drakes tracks were good, but its not like they faced any opposition to test their quality.
Ice Cube and Cypress Hill’s beef was way better than this shit… Hell, Three 6 Mafia vs Bone Thugs was harder than this. I hate these two bastards. They can’t rap for shit.
Weak mills is over & done
How can Nicki not know that he’s done?
hopefully she ain’t holdin his son, or daughter
OVO has won, its slaughter
Soon he’ll be broke in the slum, a robber, to eat a decent meal
Not trying to knock him, just please keep it real
How the fuck is he done? Because he got dissed? Because he lost a battle? Hell naw! People loose & comeback all the time..
Bro …to make it to the NBA and ride the bench isn’t any kind of career I’d want. This is akin to meek…he never fulfilled his so called potential…so Id say, to get bodied by a singing nigga before you ever really accomplish anything..and lets not talk about his Rap Chart #1…
Damn I sound like a cold-hater… Fuck all these chumps music…think im just gonna bump james fauntleroy 24/7 for good…he like the last real Artist. That still leaves me in awe..im not supposed to feel like I can write better songs than these slaves on the
I DONT LIKE EITHER OF THESE KIDS BUT THIS BEEF PROVED THAT CHEEK MILL IS A BUM ON THE MIC.
that wanna know track was mostly trash. and its sad cause it was trash cause meek didn’t use his potential, not cause he couldn’t do better.

[Intro]
I just wanna know how niggas going to jail
Telling on niggas, coming back home and it still being cool
I just wanna know how a nigga on Instagram and Twitter with fifty thousand followers
Ain’t got no money in real life, but still popping, I just wanna know
I wanna know, if a nigga ain’t really putting it in, but acting like he putting it in
Niggas still letting it fly like it’s cool, I really wanna know man
This shit getting different out here it’s getting spooky
[Verse 1: Meek Mill & Quentin Miller]
Buried after the first 6 bars and then played the reference track Drake used because he didn’t write it. How the fuck did Meek even get a hold of Drakes reference tracks. Dope connects
Now when that shit went down with Chris, you wrote a check
In New Orleans wore my chain to get respect (you a fraud)
So what that tell me? You a pussy and a fan
Say the wrong shit you know the shooters at your neck
I just wanna know, if you ain’t write that running through the six shit
Tell us who the fuck was Quentin running through the six with?
Drake ethers meek and has another no.1 album classic with Future, Today’s rap hendrix.
Classic. HAHAHAHAHA!! And don’t compare Future to Jimi Hendrix since Future doesn’t even play an instrument and uses Autotune to hide his shitty singing and rapping. FOH.
He uses autotune as in instrument. To give his voice a unique identity. That’s like hendrix being wack without his guitar.
Noah “40” Shebib > Jahlil Beats
Noah “40” Shebib is better than Jahlil Beats
DRAKE AND BEEF DONT GO TOGETHER LIKE GAY GUYS AND PUSSY
“Cause I got a really big team, they need some really big rings, the need some really nice things, better be coming with no strings, better be coming with no strings, we need some really nice things, we need some really big rings, I gotta really big team, I got really big team, they need some really big rings, the need some really nice things, better be coming with no strings, better be coming with no strings, we need some really nice things, we need some really big rings, I gotta really big team! Man what a time to be alive, you and yours vs. me and mine!”
