Feb 10, 2016 I was listening to Summer Sixteen in the car today, and I'm thinking, "d---, this 2nd verse is probably the best diss he's ever made". He clowns Tory for 90 seconds, but threw a clear shot at Abel in the 2nd bar: All your exes know I like my O’s with a V in the middle I always just assumed he was taunting Tory about f---ing around with his exes (which is really what the "now I'm turning into Jay" line is referencing since it was rumored Jay was with Nas' ex when he dropped Takeover), but it's an obvious reference to XO. Couple that with the fact that Abel seemed to be dissing Drake on Low Life (b---- I'm on my own time, f--- a n----- co-sign) and I'm almost certain it was aimed at The Weeknd. What do you guys think?
Feb 10, 2016 Guess Abel won't make Views a classic I was thinking this the other day. Does seem like there's issues. Hope it's nothing too serious and can be squashed.
Feb 10, 2016 If it weren't for the line in Low Life however, it wouldn't really seem like a diss. RG's explanation makes sense. Obviously they're known to be wrong from time to time but still.
Feb 10, 2016 Shout my n----- Doc, that’s a mentor Had some bad business, nothing personal But now the word out that we back I figured that was Drake because of the whole contract incident, thus why they fell out. Able wasn't happy with the deal if I remember correctly. Around that time Drake really did diss him in....some other song but it was along the lines of Able was feeling himself and he owed him a favor
Feb 10, 2016 Eh it's a decent explanation but replace exes with an X makes it so clear it's a shot at Abel. "all your X's know I like my O's with a V in the middle" Hm, maybe they had a falling out and he's saying nothing personal to Doc? The song you're thinking about is 5AM in Toronto btw.
Feb 10, 2016 Yeah I thought that to, but idk man seems like a reach. They're on good terms now, that's why I say that.
Feb 10, 2016 Ah, ok but then again, didn't Drake hop on an offical remix to Low Life? Now that I think about it. And fans were like that was proof things between them were fine
Feb 10, 2016 I did too but idk just seems too random and specific to throw in the middle of his dismantling of Tory. Idk who else Abel could be talking about with that co-sign line on Low Life either. Not that I know of. I f---ing wish though haha.
Feb 10, 2016 "b----, I'm on my own time f--- a n----- co-sign Always change my number and my phone line"
Feb 10, 2016 That relationship was really beneficial for both guys. This is kinda like the Kendrick/Drake "beef". Say they're cool in public, but throw clear shots at each other in songs like Drake w/ the money trees line, K Dot w/ SFTB reference on Compton..
