Joe Budden thinks Drake finally found some fire in his recent “4PM In Calabasas” release. The New Jersey rapper and podcast host was one of Drizzy’s most outspoken critics after Views dropped, saying he sounded uninspired on the album that just passed one billion U.S. streams last week.
But Budden seems impressed by the new track, even if he feels some lyrics were aimed at him. He dismisses the idea of responding to Drake on wax (perhaps because he’s waiting for the other shoe to drop with Drake’s possible shot at him in a French Montana collab), but thinks Puff Daddy — who is vaguely referenced in the song — should “fire back for the culture.”
Drake and Diddy beefed in December 2014 over the “0 To 100” beat, but reportedly settled their issues in 2015.
In “4PM,” Drake makes several subtle references to Diddy over the Bad Boy-inspired beat, saying “The higher I get the less they accept me / Even had the OGs tryna press me, Ha-ha-ha-ha,” echoing Diddy’s laughter from his 1997 hit “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” (which itself paid homage to Grandmaster Flash). He also references the song by name and the title of the album it appeared on, No Way Out.
Budden considers the verse a slight to Puff, tweeting “Can’t let a nigga grab the classic bad boy loop, then sing all your hits as he disses u & not fire back lol for HipHop!”
Check out Budden’s tweets below.
Puff hasn’t responded directly, but posted this to Instagram around the same time the song premiered.
diddy better get his ghostwriters on the phone asap, heard shyne aint got nothing else going on
puff daddy is a joke
Lol ” diddy better get his ghostwriters ” so it’s going to be battle between ghostwriters because Drake or Diddy can’t write s**t….
Everyone in hip hop is so scared of each . Bunch of delicate niggas nowadays. Real cute, no rebuttals on wax anymore just meme’s and gay social media jabs. So gay the culture is now
Damn Puff??? Biggie up in heaven shaking his head on this one.
Will Diddy respond back to Drake? Will Joe Budden go into the studio? Is Drake gonna diss Budden for real? Find out next time on HipHopDX!
Oh well diddys loaded enough to wipe his ass with a rapper like drakes contract drakes got little boy change diddys got big daddy money drake wont ever be as rich as diddy wanna know why? Hes a flavor of the decade he has his be he will pass puff was smart enough to get behind people and be the guy in the corner gettin rich giving guidance and making multi million dollar endorsments and investments on shit from sneakers and clothes to prep schools to vodka drake networth $60M diddy networth? $700M++ which honestly i thinks being conservative for diddy…. poke fun at the bad boy all you want but hes the godfather on the east coast a status drake wont ever reach because between him getting complex record deals and other shit down the roads i just know hes gonna get lil wayned… not to mention he will fizzle out as an artist as his sound gets tiring and the new thing hits and drakes the thing of yesterday and diddy will keep sleeping on that pile of dough still laughin but now evern harder at drake…
Diddy got like 20 years on Drake. It’s crazy to say he will NEVER have Diddy’s money.
Its like Puff .anything he says..gonna say ghostwriter..but u can say the same about Drake
.but give him benefit of doubt against Puff..Now it fair if Puff start talking about money. No contesto
I guess in 2016 ghostwriter beef is interesting.
Lmao Puff sitting back thinking should he unleash his Ghost writers and you know Drake writers don’t get a day off lol. #battleoftheGhostwriters2016
Drizzy has written too much for himself & other artists which we dont need to mention.Nw Budden & other MCs know that, dAts why they give him full props unlike the irrelevants on the internet who hide under the umbrella of a lie to display they hate not dat anybody cares, dats why we keep buying the music lol
Lol Budden was dissed,let him fire back too! Well guess they both know better.
Love how this bi polar one hit wonder got comment on Drake sic new track oh he inspired now get the fuck outta here Budden dude just went plat plat in a week and u sayin he dissed puff yeah and nobody can do what Drake does period !
do you have any idea how to write a proper sentence?
Clearly he doesn’t. Plus his points aren’t related to the topic so who gives a fuck if drake sold a mill doesn’t mean his album was great

LMAO FAM! JOE BUDDEN JUST TWEETED THAT DIDDY SHOULD DISS DRAKE! CHECK HIS INSTA – HipHopDx editors
Joe button should stop instigating shit & go retire in Poland somewhere nigga so corny.
Yes I actually believe drake will make Joe look like the nobody he is.
You mean Joe budden. The hell you know about anything. If you actually believe drake is better than Joe then you are a joke
..we in the month of June ,but the 6 still colder than Alaska !!
Are there really Drake fans that believe he can go bar for bar with Joe Budden?????
If they are. They sniffin Elmer’s with Dope mixed. Joe would burry Mr Flake

Drizzaveli can end both Diddy and Budden’s careers with his eyes closed. Just release a catchy diss track and the OVO army will add more fuel to the fire on the Internet. Just like how Meek’s career ended. It’s a winning formula. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
How is Meek career over? He just headlined a festival with Jay-Z over the weekend you fuckin herb. Just stay in Canada you lil square bear. No one like u on here anyhow pu$$y
What in the hell are you talking about, your whole comment is fiction!!!
lmao Square Bear. you Americans are like on some other level and I’m South African
Ya’ll better check up on who Joe Budden is….
Fuck all you pussy ass nigga,,,,,, drake is fake,drake is wack,as a matter of fact from back to back to wack to wack. Gay ass modafucka.. Meek mill for life #Dream chasers for life.
It’s clear Budden hating on Drake’s success, why not diss him yourself rather than hyping someone else up to do it. Where the real rappers at? Niggas is bitches these days…
I WANT TO SEE THIS PUSSY GO AT LLOYD BANKS
Not a Joe Budden fan but if you think Drake is better then Joe then your not really into hiphop. Drake used ghostwriters in the past and for me, how can you know if he had another writer or not.
News flash many of your favorite rappers use ghostwriters.
