A bold move, and certainly no mean feat considering the fact that this took place almost two decades ago in a time when the sheer amount of equipment required to even consider producing, was only eclipsed by the technical difficulty of actually knowing how to use it all. Aside from being musically obsessed, the pivot to production came with the hope that they’d be able to secure more bookings, if they produced their own music. They got there by piloting a pastiche soundscape, comprised of some of their favourite elements from cutting edge dance music.īut before all that, they were just a humble pair of budding DnB DJs, trying to put themselves out there. Saul Milton and Will Kennard are the architects in question, who have etched (they’d probably say bombed), their better known monikers, Chase & Status, into the history books. Two British producers were certainly not fuelled by these existential musings, but have nevertheless achieved the timelessness that eludes so many that dare to create. Is it the desire to create something that outlives us? Bolstered by a constant awareness that our time on the planet is fleeting, so we create in an attempt to ward off the looming evanescence that inevitably awaits us all. A couple of years later, he hyped up Pusha-T after Drake said that his bars about OVO producer 40 and his multiple sclerosis on "Story of Adidon" were in poor taste.Why are we driven to create? Are some of us just genetically predisposed with the compulsion to fill blank pages with our thoughts? Or transform jumbled sounds on our computers into cohesive melodic arrangements? Those that find themselves afflicted, will know that the obsession comes in many forms. Flex used his show to broadcast Meek's diss songs and leak several reference tracks, supporting Meek's claim that Drake used a ghostwriter to craft lyrics.Īlthough Meek and Drake are on solid terms now, Flex never gave in. "(U ain't tuff n*gga)."įlex then hopped over to Swizz Beatz and Timbaland's much-anticipated IG Live beat battle, where he kept up the Drake hate for a moment and called him "soft."īad blood between Flex and Drake started flowing back in 2015 when Flex took Meek Mill's side during his highly-publicized beef with Drake. "Funk Flex guh weh pussy," Drizzy wrote with Jamaican flavor.įlex fired back, claiming Drake was fake tough. "Drake!!! Talking tuff!!!" he wrote. The two share a combative history, so the jabs started flowing right away. After a massive laugh, Drake was like, "yo u have bad attitude."īut one round wasn't enough for Drizzy, so he moved on to Hot 97 DJ and radio host Funk Flex in the same comment section.
"Give drake some water," Rihanna responded. While Drake's antics had witnesses cracking up, Rihanna decided to come back with her own joke inferring that Drake was thirsty for some attention. Matching the eagerness of a committed fan, he also asked her to "drop R12 right now." "DUB PLATE CAME PRETTY LIKE A FENTY FOUNDATION," Drake typed. Then he came with a bar referencing Rihanna's last name and make-up brand, Fenty. "Robyn you can't buy him A one hot spot?" Drake said, calling her by her real first name. With RiRi, he started by firing off a joke about her helping Spade fix his internet connection. With a keyboard and an attentive audience at hand, he couldn't help but troll both of them.
The Toronto artist bumped into his friend, collaborator and former lover, Rihanna, as well as his longtime enemy, Funk Flex, in DJ Spade's Instagram Live comments. Instagram Live is turning into the new nightclub, and Drake was turnt up on Tuesday night.
