As a matter of optics, none of this looks good for Drake. However, it’s been weeks and we’re left to presume that Drake has been stewing over it. If Drake dissed Kid Cudi shortly after Kid Cudi put out the tweet, we would have understood the reason to reference him in a diss track. In a ranking of softest hip-hop to hardcore rap music, Degrassi lands somewhere near Iggy Azalea - but the man can rhyme so we give him a pass. To make things worse, Drake’s music, as Cudi points out, can be criticized for not being “authentic.” Drake is Canadian-born rapper who started out as an actor on Degrassi. One could go all the way back to the Comeback Season mixtape, on which Drake dedicated an entire song (“Replacement Girl”) to his exes. Drake went on to say, “Still never been on hiatus / You stay Xann’d and Perc’d up / So when reality set in, you don’t gotta face it.” Cudi has spoken about his problems with drugs and how he has used them to help deal with his depression and anxiety, so knocking him for addiction and using medication for mental illness feels like an especially low blow.įurthermore, Drake is the wrong person to call those with mental illnesses “soft”: his music is some of the most emotional - soft, even - material that we’ve seen from a rapper of his status. Drake says, “You were the man on the moon / Now you just go through your phases / Life of the angry and famous.” “Man on the moon” is, of course, a direct reference to Kid Cudi’s debut album, which has been credited as influential by many hip-hop artists, including Drake, who had a cameo in the “Pursuit of Happiness” video. In “Two Birds, One Stone,” Drake takes aim at both Pusha T and Kid Cudi, but it’s his Kid Cudi diss that has received a large amount of criticism as Drake seems to be poking fun at Kid Cudi’s mental health, and his attempts to manage his depression. Though Kanye seems to have found the light, Drake has gone on to unnecessarily diss Cudi almost a month after Cudi made his initial comments about original writing.

Kanye West went off on Cudi during his concert stop in Tampa for the Saint Pablo Tour, but he later apologized and dedicated a performance of “Father, Stretch My Hands” to Cudi. 'Pursuit Of Happiness' is American song released on 09 December 2009 in the official channel of the record label - 'KidCudiVEVO'. Originally, Drake only made a small reference to Cudi during one of his concerts. The problems between Drake and Kid Cudi started when Cudi took aim at fake artists who proclaim themselves as great, but use ghostwriters to help them with their music. Instead, he told Drake, “Say it to face pussy.

Kid Cudi hasn’t been one for back-and-forth sneak-dissing on rap tracks, though. In Kid Cudi’s first tweet since entering a rehab facility for depression and suicidal urges, he called out Drake for referencing him in the song, “Two Birds One Stone.” Drake’s diss track premiered Sunday evening on Ep 32.
