XXL: You did strike back at Common after he dissed you last year.
Drake: Obviously, the whole tension with that whole camp has been brewing for a long time, and that was the first time someone had called me out personally. I reacted in a very poised way. First of all, I made sure it would run in the club because that's more painful than anything. As opposed to just being on a blog, I wanted to be on a record that you would have to stand around and hear every night for a few months. That was my whole strategy going into that. Instead of sounding hurt and malicious, I wanted to sound fun, get my sh*t off. Like I said, if it happens again, not that I want it, not that I welcome it, but I'm ready. I really enjoy writing bars, man. I'm not nervous about anybody saying anything to me.
XXL: It seemed like you won, but his last line was good.
Drake: The Canada Dry line? That was epic. I liked it. It wasn't a good line necessarily, but it was funny.
XXL: Did he step over the line when he scorned you for being biracial?
Drake: For you to delve into my mom and my dad's a bi*ch and all that, you're just reaching for impact moments but the bars aren't really good so it didn't hit me. I never sat back and analyzed that either. I only heard it once, and thought, "I think I came away with the W on that one."
