A lot of ya'll would have hated 90's hip hop disses
There have been so many battles that heated up with subliminal shots, or with dudes obviously going back and forth, even answering each other in songs. He's not dissing him on some overly obvious/cartoony "kidnap your bytch get that how much you like you lady money" shyt, but he's clearly setting the table and answering back, acknowledging the shyt and letting it be known it's whatever.
Do ya'll have any idea how long it took Nas and Jay to pop off, with months to a few years of references to Memphis Bleek's hat and random album names.
It's what separates the dudes dissing as artists from the ones that legit have beef with each other. Hell, Nas brushed Bleek off as a henchman by just saying "Oh you didn't, wanna know whose life was written, the life I'm living, the ice the women". The real hip hop heads were like

because Nas acknowledged it with an equal or comparable response and it kept the battle going for the people who were keeping score.
If Drake would have fired back with lines talking about fukking Beyonce and how he looks like a camel, it might be dope but it would be doing that shyt just because, instead of letting it escalate to that point or not escalate to that point.
Jay called him Mrs. Drizzy, said that he has art and doesn't lie about shyt he has, over Drake's beat.
Drake touched on the Mrs. (misses), said he told his dudes to
let him live (damn near everyone who has dissed Jay subliminally has spun the "Can I Live?" line), mentioned It Was Written, said he heard nikkas were talking slick when he was out of the country, mentioned he's not mad at art, but with all of that said, finished it off by saying you're still lying fukk nikka, so go ahead and sample my beat again and tell some more lies.
If you don't fukk with it, you don't fukk with it, but I'm

at anyone swearing he's talking about some imaginary hater and not Jay.
It's not a diss in the sense of Ether vs. Takeover, but real nikkas were studying the possible Jay vs. Nas subliminals, which spanned fukking ALBUMS before they ever got anywhere near Ether and Takeover. Who knows where it goes from here, if anywhere, but jabs have been thrown.
