5 Times Drake Threw Shade Better Than You

Drake may have the motto, but he also can throw down some shade when shade is due.

Drizzy coined "you only live once," and it was the motto from high school going into college.

Drizzy has definitely made his name known with his music, as well as his relationships with other people in the music industry, even if those relationships are negative ones—as in the Drake/Meek Mill Twitter feud from earlier this year.

From "Hotline Bling" to "6 p.m. in New York," Drake has used his talents to call people out for their crap.

1. "6 p.m. in New York"

There have been numerous issues between Drake and Tyga involving the Young Money record label. In the "If you're reading this, you're too late" mixtape that Drake dropped on February 13th, he straight up calls out all of Young Money. With "6 p.m. in New York" he goes for Tyga's neck. We are all aware of Tyga's jailbait relationship with Kylie Jenner, who was 17 at the time. In the song, Drake calls out Tyga for being immature.

I heard a lil lil homie talking reckless in Vibe
Quite a platform you chose, you shoulda kept it inside
Oh you tried, it’s so childish calling my name on the world stage
You need to act your age and not your girl’s age

I'm going to go ahead and say that Drake won that argument. I'm pretty sure no one else could subtly call someone out in more of a perfect manner.

2. Miley v. Nicki

Throwback to the VMAs when Nicki Minaj called out Miley Cyrus for her words in the media and telling the truth. Miley basically said Nicki is not that nice of a person. TRUE. Anyways, how this relates back to Drizzy takes a turn that no one saw coming.

Nicki and Drake are known to be friends, and some say that Drake is all about Nicki. If you have seen past performances of them together, Drake is trying to YOLO pretty hard in that relationship.

In an article from the Inquisitr, Drake says that he sides with Miley but still rides hard for Nicki. We all know Nicki won't settle for that. Later in the article, Drake says that he wants to team up on a diss track with Miley to throwback at Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill.

We all know that Drake was mobbin' on the low and that all the shade thrown towards Nicki had a purpose.

"Yo, Nicki. What's good?"

3. "30 for 30" Freestyle, Where is Meek?

Meek Mill and Drake have been on the outs for awhile now. As mentioned earlier, the ghostwriter comment via Twitter feud did not sit well with Drizzy.

Meek Mill had taken some time to respond to Drake's many diss tracks. 24Urban states that Meek received some negative backlash on one of his tracks that fired shots at Drizzy.

Drake comes back at full force:

I guess you just making moves on your own time
But just know it’ll be January in no time
And your absence is very concerning
It’s like you went on vacation with no plan of returning
This s*** is purely for sport, I need it 30 for 30
Banners are ready in case we need to retire your jersey

Drake is still firing off and Meek can't get back to him? I guess he is in retirement.

4. Common and Serena

This is definitely a throwback. Back in 2012, Common's ex-girlfriend and star tennis player Serena Williams was barking up Drake's tree. There is a timeline depicting the feud on MTV. But Common finally confirmed that "Sweet" was taking shots at Drake.

Drake was not afraid to publicly throw some shade at Common.

During a Las Vegas show, Drake addressed an interview Common did by simply saying: "I might sing, but I ain't no bitch. If Common got something to say, say it to my face."

How many of us would publicly say something like that about someone during a concert? Not many, that's how many.

5. Rihanna may be the devil.

Before Nicki Minaj, there was Rihanna. Rihanna has had some past drama with boyfriends but is typically quiet in the media about her personal life. You go, Riri. You go.

However, after the Riri/Drake split, Drake had some subliminal shade to throw about the "Disturbia" singer.

During OVO fest in Toronto, Drake dissed Rihanna via a picture. On a screen behind Drake, during the show, a fiery picture of Riri was displayed with the numbers "666." This was just after the two ended their relationship.

If you think that you can throw shade, I feel like you should probably take some lessons from Drake.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
