The “beef” between Drake and Common just got turned up another notch this morning. At the start of 2011, we saw the rap vet and the Young Money rapper get locked into a battle of subliminal jabs. Initially, Comm set it off by calling out Drizzy on “Sweet” and then confirming his shots in an interview with Sway. It wasn’t until last Friday where we heard Drake fire back with his own subliminal disses on Ross’ “Stay Schemin.”

“I just ask that when you see me, you speak up ni–a that’s all/Don’t be ducking like you never wanted nothing. It’s feeling like rap changed, it was a time it was rugged/Back when if a ni–a reached it was for the weapon, nowadays ni–as reach just to sell they record.”

Common wasted no time in firing right back and making this battle official. On the newly released freestyle Chi-Town’s finest raps over “Stay Schemin” (via MTV RapFix)

“My Motto is/Chicago bitch/everybody know you sweet/ what the problem is/Don’t play dumb I’m the one that acknowledged it/ Son of a bitch I imagine what your father is/ She said how you make your opponent the rapper of the moment/the style he don’t own it/acting all hard when he hardly like that/You gonna mess around and make me catch a body like that/owww

Listen to the diss after the jump…

“Don’t do it/cuz every song you make Joe is really hoe music/I heard you say you wasn’t a bitch cuz you sing/ you a bitch cuz you cling like a bitch that’s 18/ can’t say my name but rap about a nigga’s wife/you so black and white/ trying to live a n*gga’s life/I’m taking too long with this amateur guy/You ain’t wettin’ nobody n*gga you Canada Dry. ”

Make no mistake/I’m Talking to Drake. It’s the remix , Rick Ross Common and that Hoe ass n*gga. Don’t hide behind them other n*ggas. This is man to man.”
