I'm driving so,on the way there we listen to MGMT (no one was feeling it so I cut on Common's UMC), which lasted the other half of the ride. Now on the way there discussions came up about Common, from the spark of controversy himself Sunnie Moon. This dude says that Common isn't that good and that at one point he felt that UMC was bad because of Pharrell but in all actuality it's probably Common! WTF... I try to shrug it off but he keeps it up. Then Reedis says in a toe-to-toe battle Drake might get Common. WTF! I said thats's bull Common is slept on because he's not going hard as he did before "BE" ; the reason being because he is now financially set and can afford to take chances.Therefore any out cold verses come from pre-BE and all previous collabs and albums to that. But recognize, common isn't a punchline rapper. Dude is an honest MC who spits about life in a way that connects with you whether you are from the burbs or the hood; he just has that ability... anyway moving on. We decide we need to listen to verses of each artist to compare. I remind everyone of Common's diss to Ice Cube and make it known that the same would happen to DRAKE if they did in fact have a battle of some sort... so we began listening to verses.
DRAKE
Reedis says this nice line that Drake had "insert here".Next we listen to I take it the coldest verse Reedis could think of at the time from Common (Get em High from college Dropout)..its straight... any way this goes on and we conclude at the moment drake is nice but is in no standing to be in the same league as Common because of experience and the history of Common when he comes hard(no homo)(see tracks: Sixth sense;hungry and chi-city for great examples)! Drake did bring it and continues to bring it and he is nice.
