The rap beef between Drake and Pusha T has been the biggest topic in hip-hop. Pusha kicked things off with his "Infrared" track on his latest album Daytona and Drake fired back with "Duppy Freestyle." Push then went extra hard, releasing "The Story of Adidon" which threw shots at Drake's mother, father, and of course, Drake himself who Push accused of having a secret son with a porn star. Drake has not released a response track after being told to shut it down by Rap-A-Lot Records CEO James Prince. Since then, everybody has been weighing in with their thoughts on the matter. The latest to chime in is ASAP Ferg who spoke with DJ Whoo Kid on his Shade 45 show the Whoolywood Shuffle. Ferg revealed that he “love[s] that shit.”
“We need that shit because I’m getting a feeling that like [...] when Nas said hip-hop was dead, he was onto something,” Ferg says around the 1:05 mark. “At first, we was like, ‘You wildin’,’ this that and the third, but he foreseen it. And I think that like with a lot of the stupid shit that’s coming out, the wack shit that’s coming out, like we’re losing the art of lyricism and just being able to be witty with words.”
Ferg continued, “Like what happened to that? What about like being sharp, like on your feet. Having an IQ? What about reading a book so you can have more shit to talk about? I think that was being lost and then like Pusha and Drake […] they sound like classy niggas goin at it.”
Whoo Kid asked Ferg about women being pawns in rap beef. Drake mentioned Pusha T's fiancee Virginia Williams in his track, and Push fired back mentioning Drake's alleged baby mother Sophie Brussaux.
“We do it all for the female at the end of the day. I live for a female,” Ferg said. “We do it for them. That’s why I guess people get so touchy when it comes to that.”
Ferg also noted, "I think this should keep going. I like this.” Too bad J. Prince shut it down.
