Maybach Music Group’s Wale has stepped up to give his thoughts on labelmate Meek Mill feuding with Young Money’s Drake last summer.

In a new interview, Wale acknowledged how much of an upper hand Drizzy had in the battle with Meek.

“I honestly think like he brought a pencil to a gun fight,” Wale said referring to Meek Mill. “He ain’t bring a knife. He brought a pen to a piece of paper. He tried to paper cut him to death. You can’t compete with somebody that has that types of relationship. I’m telling every one who thought Meek lost just off the strength of losing, it doesn’t matter what he made, he could have wrote ‘Ether 3.0,’ the opinions of the people would have been that of the boy from Canada waxed him. I’ma tell you why – my man went to Apple – and my man went to Funk Flex–and there’s nothing wrong with Flex–but we talking about Apple, champ. They can hear this in Germany, bruh.” (“The Breakfast Club”)

Recently, Meek’s hip-hop girlfriend Nicki Minaj revealed her issues with the Drake feud.

It was getting dark outside when I asked about Drake, Meek, Wayne and Williams. Minaj hadn’t turned on lights, so she was in shadow. ‘‘They’re men, grown-ass men,’’ she said. ‘‘It’s between them.’’ How does it make you feel, I ask? ‘‘I hate it,’’ she said. ‘‘It doesn’t make me feel good. You don’t ever want to choose sides between people you love. It’s ridiculous. I just want it to be over.’’ (New York Times Magazine)

Earlier this month, Maybach Music Group leader Rick Ross spoke out on the Meek/Drake feud.

“This is what you gotta realize. This is a career. Right now Meek Mill, I just got off the phone with him, right now he’s making some of the most powerful music he’s ever made. That’s what this does. That’s what I’m excited for. The next level. What’s next? The small talk’s over with. What’s next? That’s just what I tell the little homie, let’s get it and that’s what’s going to happen. The little homie was on tour getting money, getting real money, real money. I ain’t mad [at Drake making money], but what Meek come from, his story, coming up from the streets – got the baddest chick in the game, can’t put any more dates on the calendar. … Ain’t nobody get bodied. If you think that was bodied, ‘you’ bugging. That’s light work. We got more money we finna go get and it’s about music. … If you think Meek Mill through, you trippin’. The music the homie’s making, it’s a bomb and when it’s a bomb, y’all are gonna drop bombs on that.” (“The Breakfast Club”)

Recently, hip-hop star Game talked about the positive impact Meek and Drake’s feud had on the genre.

“I think it was good, man – and it should be fun,” Game said in an interview. “It could have been lyrical, a little bit more lyrical but for what it was, for the state of hip-hop, whenever one of those beefs comes through, not like me and 50 [Cent] with guns having to ring out, definitely not like Big and Pac where two emcees had to meet their demise because of some bullsh*t, the beef was dope. Meek’s still doing his thing, Drake is the number one guy in music now and so you just gotta respect that. I thought every moment of it was dope.” (AHH)

      • yep…an artist seeking mainstream success should strive to allow as many people as possible to “get it”…everyone currently taking an interest in his/her work may not be familiar with past work or concepts….sometimes you can outsmart yourself

        • An intellectual would know there’s a catalog of the artist’s work online to go through. Lol it’s not his job to direct you to his previous work. In fact, many that search his older releases probably wouldn’t label themselves as intellectuals. Lol you just missed it.

  1. Wale is the only one who gets it. I must have said this a million times now. MEEK WAS NEVER GOING TO WIN. The quality of the diss never mattered.

    • No charged up was garbage, Meek was at the point where Nas was before he dropped Ether (which I personally didn’t think that was great of a diss) and he didn’t deliver anything. Drake has fans that didn’t know who Meek was and if he would have came through with a legit response, it would have hurt Drake while bring Meek “more” prominence.

      • Dude just yanked “Cha Cha”, admitted it and all people can talk about is how good his dancing was. This is after he got busted using a Ghostwriter. His fans are blindly devoted. A single good Rap wasn’t going to stop him.

        • No you are right, but if he dropped heat he would have gotten some respect from hip hop heads not biased here, instead he dropped a dud and ended his respect he had with fans of his own (He had a good fan base himself). He pretty much hurt himself coming that weak, his fans even turned on him man.

        • How is that even remotely in tha same realm as ghostwriting? He used the beat wrote or got a song written for him entirely different and it blows past tha original. So many artists hav used tha same beat at tha same time its ridiculous. Busta and timberland using tha knight rider bear at tha same time is one example

      • I liked Charged Up, because it was like he wasnt even taking the Shit seriously, while actually addressing the Issue. Handling the Shit like a Boss. Not being too sesnsitive like Meek Mill seems to be.

    • Bruh IJS the quality of the Diss Song Matters too. Meek Mill has ( or had) a solid fan base including me that was READY to hear Meek Go In on this Pretty Boy with Passion, Anger, and Most of All BARS. 1st off, the Beef started on Twitter, which is not Real Nigga Shit AT ALL. 2nd, Meek took like a WEEK to respond. He took So long, Drake got a Chance to Make Not one, But 2 DISS Songs!!!. 3rd when he FINALLY dropped the DIss, it was mediocre at Best, with alot of yelling and no Substance. He lost Fair and Square in my Opinion.

    • Why? What Wale said wasn’t malicious. He’s saying the same thing some of us have been saying from day one. Basically, even if Meek had dropped a Ether level cut it wasn’t going to change anything. You must have just read the headline.
