Turns out Joe Budden wasn’t crazy after all.
After waging what sometimes seemed like a one-sided war against Drake for the last few months, Budden now has a sparring partner in the Toronto rapper.
Drake has finally addressed Budden, and not in a way that Budden needs to translate.
Saturday’s episode of OVO Sound Radio premiered French Montana’s “No Shopping” track from his upcoming MC4 album that drops on August 19. Drake features on the song and there’s no mistaking who he’s addressing, opening his verse with words from the Slaughterhouse rapper’s 2003 hit “Pump It Up.”
“Pump, pump, pump it up, she got a good head on her, but I pump it up / I’m not a one-hit wonder, they know all my stuff / You let me turn into the nigga that you almost was,” Drake raps over the Murda Beatz-produced track. “I done seen a lot of shit and I done been in things, and I never started nothin’, I just finish things / And I’m still off like the man that brought me in this thing, how you out here celebratin’ like the winnin’ team?”
The response isn’t that big a surprise. French Montana tipped his hand in May when he previewed the first line of Drake’s verse in a Snapchat story. Budden initially said he’d wait to hear the whole verse before responding, but went on the offensive with two diss tracks targeting Drizzy after he felt he was hit with subliminals from him on “4PM In Calabasas.”
The whole back-and-forth seems to have stemmed from Budden’s critique of Drake’s VIEWS on his podcast, where he said the rapper sounded “uninspired” on the chart-topping album.
Listen to “No Shopping” below.
Here are the full lyrics from Drake’s verse, via Genius.
Pump, pump, pump it up
She got a good head on her, but I pump it up
I’m not a one hit wonder, they know all my stuff
You let me turn into the nigga that you almost was
I done seen a lot of shit and I done been in things
And I never started nothin’, I just finish things
And I’m still off like the man that brought me in this thing
Now you out here celebratin’ like the winnin’ team?
No, calm down, calm down
This shit ain’t how you think it is, take a look around
I’m supposed to be on a vacation right now
But I’m home wildin’, word to DJ Khaled
Back with another one
I’m steady droppin’ bombs on your head top
Been that way since I could make your bed rock
I’m on, blew it where you can’t shop
Bitch I just rapped and it went pop
Next move better than my last move
Your next move can’t erase your past moves
Took her out once she got attached to him
Ring, ring, click, I’ll get back to ’em
You don’t really want the views
You don’t really want a snapshot of things goin’ on with the crew
You don’t wanna hear Not Nice did thirteen
And did another two for some other shit he didn’t do
Last week, Budden runnin’ in the room
This week sold one point two
Yeah, it’s a boost around baby boy
Yeah, and I know Taraji like I’m baby boy
And I fuck with Weezy and I’m Baby’s boy
Yeah we the Army, better yet the Navy, boy
Check out the full song art too.
Update: Just after the release of “No Shopping,” Joe Budden dropped his third diss track for Drake.
*zzzzzzz*
HHDX and AHH are true media trolls. Stating he finally responded? Wasn’t this track revealed months ago? And only a few bars at that? So why are we acting like “ooooh, he finally came back?!?!” Remember, Buddens got the disses rolling BC this track already existed and hadn’t been released.
Lmao. This shit weak AF.
Took a few shots at Budden but not a diss track. Hope the DX community don’t jump the gun.
Just proves Joe was right all-along…. He heard the snippet, knew what was coming. Then the subs in 4pm… Now Drake has had weeks to respond to some real shit, and he is silent……
That “diss” was softer than Cottonelle tissue. Cmon man…
But I guess what do you expect from a “man” named Aubrey
Atleast we know drake wrote his verse this time Hahahahahaha OMG! Smh @ the state of hip hop. Wow.
wonder why america aint no 1 in anytin no more?
I actually thought it was pretty good… Surprised Drake even addressed him
this isn’t a response track this was made before joey tracks , french montana mention these two lines months ago thats why joe went in, with his first two disses. he hasn’t answered him so why is this site saying this is a response, does any one here know what a response track is drake hasn’t responses so why spread these lies, if you really think drake is gonna make 3 better songs then the three that burden released you are really lost in this art we oust call hiphop.
Save Hip Hop and get Fake Wack Rappers like Drake out of Hip Hop. Joe called him out on severalcounts and Drake comes back with this weak response. This is why you should only rap if you can write Hot bars instead of depending on someone to write for you like Drake.
you need a one dance
How is this song a response Chris Mitchel? Lmao America need better schools
Drake can destroy your career if you diss him. Jumpman dope btw.
Drake gets accused of having ghostwriters but no one cares that calvin harris is secretly using his sellout pop country girlfriend star to write a rihanna song. LOL
Well that wasn’t worth the wait. My opinion bout drake is that he best with his r&b type material. He should sing and diss Joey over a old school BBD beat. That’s where he really deserves credit for real tho. He has a couple rap songs where he snaps but it is all so similar sonically & content wise etc. hopefully he gets there. Point of Joey dissing him partially. his old stuff with Wayne always goes but the beats on everything else along with melody rhyming and clever quotables really help him. All things considered, he nowhere near the best “rapper” but he is a great talent overall. His character he plays well too. Budden is a lyricist. All that relevant talk is nonsense. Any hip hop fan who appreciates the art form knows and respects Budden on the mic. Bout to go check joeys response.
Budden on some slick shit. Dropping his disses first was actually a smart move. To the casual hip hop fan this will look like Drakes response giving Budden a clear W in the diss dept. By the time folk figure out it was the initial shot all that will do is justify Budden firing on Drake. In a way it could force Drake to drop an official 2nd diss track at which point its a true battle with Budden the most likely victor barwise at least.
Well that was… meh.
Joe killed drake but Joe is also a real mc so it isn’t exactly fair.
Also proves Joe was right all along and his slaying of drake was justified.
If you’re a Drake fan or a Joe Budden fan in 2016, kill yourself.
Budden wins!
Cut it out budden a wack rapper jealous he never crossed over his 2 disses were meh …. He don’t got the voice with his lyrics and drakes verse on no shopping was recorded in May wtf way before buddens 2 disses so technically it ain’t a response to him jus a response to his critique of his album views duh keep riding buddens dick he’s right he ain’t meek or tyga and never will be that’s why drake did him with 4 bars budden doesn’t even get a song like back to back or 6pm in New York ????
Drake needs to die. Drake’s garbage music is poisoning society. Hang yourself and die, Drake.
Retire and kill yourself, Drake. Hip-Hop and Young Money is dead.
Drake only goes after people he knows he can beat thats why he went hard on Meek and put out some weak ass shit for Joe…he gave a similar weak response when Common went after him…stop giving life to these wack niggas
I’m not much of a Drake fan but why would you go after people you know you won’t win against? Because your pride is bigger than your brain? Street niggas call that shit weak and cowardly, smart niggas call it intelligence and strategy. The stupid thing drake did was to respond to Budden’s criticism of Views, he should have ignored that shit and kept it moving.
drake easily won his beef with common. This is why you anti-Drake guys cant be trusted. You live in a fantasy world. The 16 bars on Stay Schemin was classic and Common’s response was absolutely terrible. His career got hurt after that esp after admitting he started it over Serena Williams. Respect for Common is at an all time low. He knows he got dusted too.
No, crs. Drake didn’t win against Common. That Stay Schemin verse he did was trash, Common washed him with his response. Common is doing well since then. For God’s sake, he won a Grammy AND an Oscar.
OVO Fans are gon’ scream “OH 6GOD DESTROYED YET NOTHER NI66A!” till they hear Wake and Afraid. Drake just wanted to tell the world Joe Budden is right on this track lol
God damn, this shit sucks! He should’ve even tried and not come out with this bubble gum-trash. He probably didn’t even write this by himself, but still. There are quality standards!
so weird to read the comments on here. This song just bangs. It will get lots of club play. Its just a little fun jab at Budden – nothing too serious. Budden’s disses read like an obsessed Drake fan. i swear kids today do not understand how hiphop works. IF IT ISNT QUOTABLE, WHO REMEMBERS IT? Budden’s disses are like lost ramblings of Drake stan. Drake’s line will be quoted, recited at clubs everwhere and remembered. Budden’s line are well-done lyrically but not memorable. as a huge Drake fan, i actually like what Budden is doing cuz its clear he is trying to inspire Drake. But be real, no one is clearly winning this battle cause its not really a beef in a classic sense. Drake is in leagues aay above Budden. Budden is a huge Drake fan talking about his dissapointment. This aint a real rap beef. all the people on here who hate Drake, Budden isnt your answer. He’s a Drake fan and will always be a Drake fan.
Ironic you keep dropping this “tradtional hiphop” idea…then say Drake is Leagues above Budden…it is absolutely impossible to be referring to anything other than financial = nothing to do with “traditional hiphop”.
Lol regardless how you feel, Budden took a dump on Drake lyrically. There is no “win” to be had, to men had a verbal exchamge and 1 in particular was put in check through a mutual art form i.e. REAL RAP.
Period
Nothing but lies in your entire comment.
i really like how you guys started putting lyrics in the article. keep huslting hard boys
Lyrically joe killed him.. battle rapping is about lyrics and getting personal with it. Not some club banger with a dope hook but mediocre lyrics. They love whatever comes out of drake’s mouth tho
Lyrics is so incredibly weak from so called rappers nowadays… dude is rhyming “THINGS with THINGS and THING” and the last verse dude rhyming “BOY with BOY with BOY and BOY”… You kidding me right now!? Come on y’all, admit this shit is wack as fuck! Dr. Seuss rhymes is slicker than this trash.
You dont understand rap i guess. The word before rhymes . figure it out dummy.
I understand perfectly. Your rap hero is wack as fuck. You fuckin’ fanboys don’t understand.
Drake has always been Whack. It’s only now his verses are being compared to Joe Buddens who is a lyricist that you can tell the difference. Drake is nothing but a phony. Drake possess no skill of writing lyrics or singing, nothing. The only thing Drake has been good at is taking other people music and having other rappers write for him. Drake is a Fraud. Period
You the same chimp like the rest these lames all knocking back to back for weeks straight and now he hasn’t full entertained this Joe has been Budden beef and hating on the 6god. When he does respond full song u will be closet listening period. 6 God will never take an L .
Suck Drake’s dick much!?
You mean when Quentin Miller responds? I think Drake is too busy working on his new album with MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice to have his ghostwriters write a response…
Drake out here get man handled in these streets.

Honestly Joe Budden came out at the wrong time. His first album had “Pump It Up” and “Fire” but the rest of the album had pretty bland beats produced by some white boy. Drake has bland beats produced by some white boy and now everybody wants the same beats. Joe Budden could have succeeded today with boring beats.
And Drake has been singing about the same 4 ex-girlfriends on a bunch of emotional 40 beats for the past 3 albums! Your point?
3 diss tracks n Drakes stil without a scratch..haaan! Pump! Pump! Pump It Up!!
Wow?! Stop the press! As if that hasn’t been used against Joe a bazillion times? Acting like that was a hot line? Super witty. Lmfao! Only Drake fans thought was a dope line. If that’s the case then every other artist that battled with Joe and used that line should be in your Top 5 as well. That’s all that Drake has in the tank? Another “Pump It Up” line? Groundbreaking stuff smmfh.
Who & who? Shouldnt this be on teen beat or wherever teenage girls link up? I’m not a Drake fan at ALL & I know numbers don’t mean anything in the big picture but he moves more units in an hour than budden has in 20 years. Both these cats are irrelevant
This was the song Montana teased us with a while back? That Joey started going in on? And now Joeys up by 3 FULL diss tracks??? Damn, Drizzy! Back at it again with the bag full of “L’s.”
Drake is going to back to back him!
You mean Quentin Miller is, right? I hope he lines up before hand. That’s the most homo erotic gay name for amything ever.
Joe buden corny thats why he got punched by raekwon back then!
So by that logic, Drake is straight up the corniest due on the planet. He got man handled by Diddy who is 30 years older then him.
Rae’s 6′ 5″ bodyguard hit him on some sneak shit during an argument with Rae….which was later squashed and dude apologized. Come on man, lie to yourself, but not to everyone else.
once Drake gets his ghostwriter back he’ll defy be ready for Joe lol next time
Wait until Drake drops his new 3 GODS project with MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice! Then all of the Drake haters will shut up. I am holding up my ACME “sarcasm” sign.
BUDDEN on Meth this French song months old . You high Joe . Rehab calling pick up . Joe been dead since 2003 . Budden Lame AF .
I always thought Drake had a ghostwriter ever since he dropped “Successful” his rhymes sound just like waynes flow same with all the young money artists i bet hes writing all their shit
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, MAH FUCKING WACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the end of the day Drake winning it’s the $$$ that count,So all that hating yall doin on that boy pause that shit frfr!
Drake fake joe real olus joe got bars a real mc fake drake needs to go back to degrossi high
