AUDIO: Meek Mill – Ooh Kill ‘Em | Kendrick Lamar Diss

meekmill

MMG artist Meek Mill delivers on his promise and delivers a full out diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar titled “Ooh Kill ‘Em.”  For the first few seconds of the song Meek takes over Dr. Dre’s “Forgot About Dre” instrumental to set the stage and eventually transitions into some original production equipped with vocal samples from Nate Dogg and little TerRio.  Meek doesn’t look to be holding back and drops off a pretty impressive diss track but at this point is it too late?

VIDEO: Drake In FIFA 14 TV Commercial

drake

With EA’s FIFA 14 coming out in a few weeks, the company debuts their new TV commercial for the game which shows off some quick game play action and YMCMB’s Drake.  The Canadian rapper and former Degrassi grabs the sticks and jumps right in to an online match against presumably a little girl from another country.  Check out the short promo visual below.

AUDIO: Papoose – First Chain (Remix) | Big Sean Diss

papoose

Papoose hijacks Big Sean’s instrumental for “First Chain” and proceeds to go in on the G.O.O.D. Music MC with a diss remix.  The New York rapper comes out the gate swinging for the TKO and spits all over Sean’s image and music just over four minutes.  To be honest, this isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be because Pap really commits to the diss and doesn’t pussyfoot around with weak subliminals.  Take a listen to Pap’s latest offering below via the audio/video stream.
