In what also sounds pretty unmistakably to be a direct attack on Meek Mill's original feud-fueling comments that Drake uses a ghostwriter for his rhymes, there are also lyrics which appear to shrug off those statements by suggesting that people didn't believe the accusations anyway:

Interestingly enough, there's also a line later on in the song which seems to echo Drake's quote regarding someone creating "propaganda" against him as he raps: I do my own propaganda I hate a rapper especiallyThey feel the same but they hide itThey just discuss it in privateDon't get along man, we tried itWhat's the point in trying (You know, since Meek Mill won't be going anywhere anytime soon.)ĭrake has also been pretty open with his attacks on Meek Mill so far, and in an interview with The Fader in Summer 2015, he suggested that the rapper would do better to attack him through music rather than creating "propaganda" against him instead, saying "You’re gonna engage in a conversation about writing music, and delivering music, with me? And not have anything to put forth on the table?" It seems pretty easy to come to the conclusion that Drake could well be targeting Meek Mill with the following lines for discussing their feud "in private" rather than via music. So what else can we do but try and unpack those lyrics? Let's start with the first verse: Last year I know you learned your lessonI could GPS you if you need some addressingĭrake could cheekily be making reference to the times that he shut Meek Mill down last year, but the most notable salt in the wound phrase here is the GPS one which could possibly be in reference to Meek Mill being put under house arrest for 90 days at the start of this year, possibly suggesting that Drake can come to him in order to settle their beef once and for all. But, like most feuds, the disses here are loaded discreetly behind a lyrical wall of speculative subtext that make it unclear if he's talking about Meek Mill at all. The feud between Meek Mill and Drake has been going on for a while now, so it seemed inevitable that there could be a track on Drake's new album dedicated to trashing the rapper.

There's also another reason why the song is getting a little bit more attention than some of the rest on Views, and that's because there's speculation that "Hype" is possibly a Meek Mill diss track.

It's the hype, yo It's the hype Word, pulled up brake, ehh, by the front door Parlay, and I stepped out hardcore I tipped the boy park the car in the front Not the back, in case I have to run and get my strap I walked inside, somebody sing, "Errrick Serrrmon" That's me, got me in free Looked around the club, man no half-steppin Walked straight up, to the V.I.P.Bombastic, menacing, and with that trademark cocky swagger that we've come to know and love from Drizzy, "Hype" is easily one of the standout tracks from Drakes new album, Viewswhich was released on Friday on Apple Music.
