Calm Down Ya Lightskin: No Mistakes Drake Diss

Artist: Kanye West
Track Name: No Mistakes
AH Track Rating:

I said there weren’t many ‘bars’ on Ye. This might be one of the few exceptions to that rule. Also, No Mistakes sounds like, a Drake diss, unmistakably.  At this rate, none of us truly know ‘when’ Kanye West finished his latest album, but it’s in the ‘timeline’ of the Pusha T. vs Drake Beef, that … might already be over? … more on that later.

3 lit up fires for this one from Mr. West.

Listen, as the rap audience, we do need to still take in mind who the ‘artist’ is and what ‘message’ or messages they are seeking to convey. That’s always relevant at all times. So when Kanye is throwing shots like, I don’t take advice from people less successful than me, that’s ‘not only Drake’…. that’s really in general.

It’s a big reason why, we can expect him to do what he’s going to do. “Believe it or Not” … 

Was it all to ‘get attention’ for this… surgical summer?

7 tracks from Kanye on Ye, including this one – 7 tracks for Pusha T on Daytona. Are we also expecting the “Kids See Ghosts” with Kanye and Cudi to be 7 as well? I hear he’s got 2 more lined up, one with Teyana Taylor. Meanwhile, did Drake ‘just’ jump in the ring, because doesn’t he also have something coming out? or, is, this, all, coincidence …. afterall ….?

No Mistakes? …

Take the top off, let the sun come in
For all my dogs that stayed down, we up again
Oh, I got dirt on my name, I got white on my beard
I had debt on my books, it’s been a shaky-ass year
Let me make this clear, so all y’all see
I don’t take advice from people less successful than me,
Ain’t no love lost, but the gloves off
And we up in this bitch ’til they turn the club off
Had to tell the dogs, “Turn the snubs off”
Plus they already mad that the Cubs lost
These two wrongs’ll right you
I was too grown in high school
The true soul of Ice Cube
Too close to snipe you
Truth told, I like you

Too bold to type you

Too rich to fight you
Calm down, you light skin!

Shout outs to Kid Cudi and Uncle Charlie on the hook … if Ye would’ve given us an extra bar on this one … might’ve got a whole 2 more fires.  Meanwhile, do we dive ‘too deep’ into the ‘Calm down you lightskin” ………. line?  Do we discuss that? Definitely impacted the rating ‘slightly’, along with the songs shortness. I ‘really’ wanted to give this 2 fires ….. That Slick Rick sample though …  

All that being said, the ‘beef’ may be over. Recently lots of news on ‘both sides’ seem to be saying as such. Including this tweet from Kanye West.

“If” it’s over, how do you rate ‘No Mistakes‘ in comparison to all the other sons in this ‘brief rap beef’?

Sound off below.
