Well who doesn’t know about this Drake Meek Mill saga? Councilmen, brands and peers alike have weighed in…. why not Flacko.
MTV caught with him at the Samsung Galaxy Artist Lounge backstage at Lollapalooza on Sunday (August 2). Check out his thoughts below.
“They went in,” A$AP said when I asked about the public’s reaction, likely referencing the many hilarious memes that have surfaced in recent days.
As for the potential of Drake having a ghostwriter?
“If you ask me if that matters, or if the public cares, that’s two different questions. I think that it doesn’t matter at this point for the public — they seem like they don’t care. I don’t know. To me it matters.”
I asked Rocky, Does it matter to you as an artist or a fan?
“Yes, both ways.”
Beyond all that, though, he mostly just seemed excited for hip-hop, and for the moments the battle has produced.
“Watching this was like watching the Super Bowl. I wanna say thank you to Drake and Meek Mill, because that’s good sportsmanship,” he said. “For real, that sh-t was fun. I needed that. To see that, that’s good sportsmanship.”
The public seems to be leaning in Drake’s favor based on the musical output thus far — though you could dispute that notion — but Rocky believes both rap heavyweights will continue to be forces.
“I think Meek will be fine,” he said. “I think he has a fanbase of his own, and I think that at the end of the day, there had to be a loser in the outcome, and it was Meek. So it is what it is.”
“If somebody helped Drake, I dunno, that might be considered cheating, but whoever wrote that — not saying Drake ain’t write it, I’m quite sure he did — that sh-t was insane. That sh-t was incredible, and I wanna thank Drake and Meek Mill for such a good battle. I come from an old school aesthetic — me being 26 — coming from the point of, when I was coming up, it was all about writing your rhymes, and I’m quite sure for R&B songs, if someone’s giving you [lyrics], that’s nothing. I don’t know. I would have to see. I don’t know what to believe.
“Regardless of if Drake write his sh-t or not, I’m still a fan.”
