Joe Budden’s “Making A Murderer (Part 1)” track has been out for only about 10 hours, which is about 9 hours and 59 minutes more than the piranhas of social media needed to go into a feeding frenzy. The track is the first official on-wax attack in a war of words that has been quietly brewing for the last few months between the two rappers. Reaction from listeners has been passionate on both sides as they argue over the finer points of the beat, the lyrics and the chance of Drake responding with a track of his own.
Meek Mill was the first person mentioned in the track to respond. In the song, Budden raps “No alliances with Meek, it’s still fuck him too.” Taking to Instagram, Meek posted a photo of himself with the caption: “He’s been dead since 2003 it’s evident …. We don’t talk to dead people unless they presidents.”
OVO audio engineer Noel hinted he’s working on something new. Could it be Drake’s response?
Daylyt, who has crossed paths with both Budden and Drake during his time in battle rap, recorded a full song in response.

And Twitter did what Twitter does best, in all of its glorious snark.

HipHop is white! I get it blacks stole basketball so,whites are stealing Hiphop.
LOLOLOLOLOL
Dalyt has the best verse response in beef thatdidn’teven involve him. This nixxa went in.
Wow. DX just butchered my comment. The coding for your comment system needs to be fixed.
Lol that shit trash

Hey man don’t blame us for your poor spelling And poor grasp of reading comprehension. Not our fault you dropped out the 5th grade And/or got dropped on Your head as a baby.
Joe Budden just shit on both Meek and Drakes diss tracks, all of them.
It’s all pussy shit why make a dis track when you can fuck him up face to face……..this new generation is full bitches,and gay mf’s real niggas pull up for mentioning their names…… Chicago/Cali is different can’t down talk and live
That doesn’t help the sport…Rap has always been about putting the beef on wax. Its just competition, not something to catch a body over.

Well, Drake is done then. Dude has his security handle his fades, and doesn’t write his rhymes. I agree 100% with your point though.
No Joke Day killed this man….dunno what the deal…guess he been writing for Drake without compensation too…
Quentin Miller you mean. Drake doesn’t write shit.
People saying that all Drake gotta do is tweet forgot that twitter fingers line by Drake. He gotta rap this time
You mean he has to pay someone to write a rap for him now, right? Drake doesn’t write shit.
Joe Broke Drake getting 200 Racks a show . If you backpack Lames think he will answer this Goofy you dreaming . You Freestyle get it FREE style Lames broke and don’t get it . FOH
Your mom’s name must be Joe. I get it. Justin Beiber makes that a show and doesn’t write his shit either. Dummy. What’s your point? LOL

Not for nothing but Drake answers nobody, he just tweets shit…the only person he ever answered never even dropped a diss track in the first place. Drake don’t want no actual rap beef, he just wants to pretend he’s Aaliyah and have his bodyguards act like men for him
Meek Mill is so lame, lol.
You ain’t gonna Trey Songz your way outta this one
Y’all niggaz are skul drop-out,,y’all can’t spell well. Bitch ass…………. Gimme tha mic let me skul dez niggaz. Lolz
The reason Drake wears turtleneck is to keep his throat war in case an impromptu dick sucking competition brakes out. Dude doesn’t write his rhymes or handle his own beef. He even lip snycs over his own vocals while performing because he can’t rap or sing live. He can suck a MEAN dick though…
I thought the rollneck thing was cos he has a neck like a turtle… All long and freaky and shit?
That too. But it’s mainly to be prepared for all of this impromptu dick sucking battles that happen in Goronto so the batty boys can keep warm.
Did Niki Minaj take her dick out of Meeks mouth long enough for him to have an opinion? Drake sucks BTW
Thing is…whether he ‘kills’ Drake or not, he clearly doesn’t have a clue how this works…Drake is loved (and hated) by people from all walks…not just die hard rap fans…to break that dominance u need mass appeal…something Budden just doesn’t have regardless of the diss prowess. Budden is a punctuation mark to Drakes chapter of pop…above all Drake will come back with a meme diss that simply connects with more people…so quality or not he knows how to engage strategically, and that means victory…
As hard as it is to admit, your right – Drake plays the game knowing it’s a game and games need strategies.
Damn. That actually hurt to type.
Drakes puppet masters do. His ghostwriters. Marketing. Drake is no one. A tool of the industry. He doesn’t make shit
It doesn’t matter who does what. You’re missing the point. Authenticity is a fantasy for deluded clock work puritans. A win is a win.
Nope. You are obviously oblivious to what Hip-Hop is about, little boy. Read up. You have to write your own shit and be about what you say you are about. If you aren’t, you are a fake ass poser bitch. You should understand and relate. Coward.
Consistent ignorant idiocy as standard for HipHopDX which is maintained by man children struggling with a crisis of masculinity. Hip Hop in the ‘pure’ form that you constantly fantasise about does not and has never existed. Your dogmatic narrow minded view is merely a ball and chain to this fluid dynamic culture.
Maybe in Canda where you are from, bitch. It exists in LA, NY, Chicago, Texas and countless other places. You don’t survive in any of those environments without being yourself, writing and fighting your own battles. You obviously should not be talking about Hip-Hop. You know nothing. Can’t talk about the arguments on point because you are stupid, so you make blanketing generic references like anyone who loses an argument does.

Since everybody has given their 2 cents about the Budden/Drake beef…. here’s mine…..
I can’t remember what hip hop documentary it was I think it was one of the Beef dvds but Treach said (I’m paraphrasing) that as an MC you always have to stay sharp cause at any moment for any reason someone can come for your head… with that being said regardless of the reason behind Joe tearing into Drake (perceived diss, trying to get relevant, whatever) as an MC he HAS to respond….
Look at it like this if you chilling on the block and somebody comes up to you and slaps the taste out ya mouth whether he did it cause he thought you dissed him or because he thinks you the big man and he’s trying get up his rep, all YOU know is that you gotta respond/defend yourself…Win or lose ….PERIOD
You mean Quentin Miller HAS to respond. Drake doesn’t write his own rhymes. He ain’t responding to shit…
BUDDEN been dead since pumpit up . 03 garbage at its finest . Don’t nobody listen to Junkey Joe . This addict a fiend .
He still writes his own shit though. And would slap the shit out of your bitch ass himself, he wouldn’t use his security. Pop tart gay ass Drake fan. GTFOH
People just like to hop on bandwagons, don’t actually take in the bars. Saying Budden’s diss was wack n he’s irrelevant, thats cus he talks real shit. While majority of hip hop listeners dont give a f**k about that they rather turn up to Desiigners panda track. Im not a drake fan but back to back was fire when he went at meek. When it comes to beef you gotta just take in the lyrics man put the bias aside. This diss track goes hard, beat is pretty wack but the lyrics are solid
Amen!! I totally agree with you here.
wait so is meek saying he talks to his money? such a moron
Who gives a fuck about popularity, strategies, record sales, relevancy,twitter/Instagram followers, etc? That shit has NOTHING to do with the essence of hip hop. Whether you a fan of Joe or Drake, a true MC responds lyrically when another MC attacks. Period.
Weak mill keeps talking about money like it somehow equates to talent because it does not. Fact is his diss was garbage and then he got sued by the WWE for unlicensed sample, he took so many L’s last year he should ashamed. And Joe is a student of the game, he’s pure hip hop and as pure hip hop the shit was fire and from a hip hop perspective if Meek was a student of the game he would making a response instead of tweeting about money, lame ass
Diss track was pure flames, true fans of hiphop will agree.
track was terrible and pointless. this beef has no substance.
There’s nothing more annoying than Aubrey fans.
Drake goes at Puffy over some two year old issue and Drake Stans get excited, when we all know that’s not Puffy’s thing. However, a REAL MC like Joe Budden bodies Drake bar after bar after bar, but Drake Stans say Budden begging for attention, GTFOH!!! Go at Budden like you went at Meek Mill and Puffy, Drake,lol
You mean Quentin Miller should go at them. Drake doesn’t write shit. Or handle beef. Or perform his music live.
Drake fans suggesting Tweets and IGs as responses? No wonder I fell out of love with hip hop
True…So True
I don’t want to hear shit from meek mill. You let hip hop down. Everyone knows Drake is a manufactured superstar meant to appeal to women and beta males, yet you failed to take him out
I love Budden man, he’s always been one of the sickest MC’s with ridiculous flow and mic presence. I always wished when Budden was younger and in his prime that be teamed up with Interscope/Dre to produce a bomb ass album. Not really sure where this diss track came from though. It’s lonely at the top, and it looks like everyone wants a piece of Drake. None the less, I love Drake too, he’s on a whole nother level, not even sure this is worth responding to. Budden is just trying to be relevant again, and Drake could annihilate him if he wanted to, but Budden is old school and a true hip hop MC, so regardless if this beef heats up it will divide the game between MC’s who came up through the streets, and mainstream big time MC’s. Not sure it’s worth the effort, but Drake is very calculated, so best believe whatever he does will leave Budden in the dust. Not sure this was the best move for Joey, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
To be honest, more than anything I would LOVE to see Drake and Meek TEAM UP on a diss track to utterly destroy Budden, and to also re-unite their friendship – just so we can finally see Drake and Nicki on a track together again, because those two are the top male and female hiphop artists in the game today, and they’re both still in their primes, so I want to see more Drake/Nicki collaborations before it’s too late. They spit FIRE together, period.
I love when there’s Beef in hiphop, it makes it so much more entertaining.
I’m sure you mean Drake’s ghostwriter’s and Meek team up. Dummy. You are not a Hip-Hop fan if you love Drake. Queer. He is the 2016 Milli Vanilli/Vanilla Ice. Thanks to idiots like you.
I feel like I need to report this comment as offensive.. but I feel like you might be either a troll or 12 year old

Regardless if drake responds he get a L, Joey served him quick and drake and his writer’s caught writers block, drake isnt an Mc but sales,joe budden is an Mc that doesnt
Rather listen to Ricki Lake than Nicki & Drake.
I’m sure Drake has a team of the finest ghostwriters coming up with a diss track.
Joe Budden won, and thats the end of the story. Drake lost already because we know he does not write his own songs.
Truth be told, Drake is a bitch. He gets sensitive when Joe gave an honest opinion about his album. He got SUPER sensitive over that Control verse and to this day, he ain’t talked with Kendrick till this day. I don’t really get this dude… .
I just hate black people smoke crack and die
Joe has been the rap game a favor. Now all these more successful rappers are gonna diss Aubrey and everyone will praise them but when it’s Joe it’s all jokes. Fuck today’s society. Keep slaying them Joey
Lol the guy saying “drake just have to tweet “lol” to responde” is the typical guy i think of when i think of a male drake fan or is it male? Aha
lol at Meek thinking that one line killed Budden. Fucking clown
No bias, just very confused as to why this came about? I’m gonna be honest I didn’t hear any subs in 4PM in Calabasas that I can say we’re directly toward Joe. Maybe the “pump it up” reference shown in French x Drake collab gave him all he needed to jump the gun. Who knows.
Another question is: why wasn’t Joe this inspired during the PPV battle with Hollow Da Don? That man even got personal in front of a crowd and viewers watching at home. In the end, we were just disappointed because he quit while we knew he could’ve done much better, if not run rap circles around Hollow.
Is it because, there’s much more to gain by reaching for a top tier artist like Drake? More exposure/attention for his Rage and the Machine release? Or did the situation w Tahiry actually blindside him and rub him the wrong way for years, despite his denial of that. Would love to hear other perspectives.
Drake is commercial rap and that is what sales. But Meek Mil is a rapper for the people in the hood (he gives them hope). They both can’t lyrical touch Joe. They will buy bars get writers to come for him and we all know that. Jay-Z may want to respond but he has yet to respond to Jadakiss or others (Nas said it best). But maybe he will because at this point he knows the game is confused and this may bring life back to Hip Hop. DRAKE Niki Young Thug all are performers and sale millions because they have a story line but lyrically they will never ever be HIPHOP….
I remember back when all the talk was about Drake ghostwriting for Wayne…
Zz.
Lyrically drake doesnt wanna go bar for bar wit joey he will slaughter his ass truth be known I don’t even fuck wit drake like and also I wasn’t feeling joey when that pump it up trash came out but over the years joey has grew on me and the guy makes that pen bleed the shit that comes comes out of his head some of it i can relate to no i haven’t been on pills or love n hip hop but dude gives us all of him drake he’s got Talent but different genre different Era of rap and if he claims to be a rapper joey called him let’s see if he can rap if he comes at joey wit some “back to back” type diss it’s over and drake may as well take this L
I still play def jam,just needa ps2,come and take a walk with me….
