This weekend Drake shot back at Meek Mill with the diss track “Charged Up”. Here’s what it’s all about.
On the flow sounding familiar, Drake is reaffirming that he is the originator of a certain rhythm of rapping, which he has been criticized for adapting from others. Alleged Drake ghostwriter Quentin Miller posted a heartfelt denial on his Tumblr, offering nothing but praise for the artist.
"Jimmy" was the character Drake (aka Aubrey Graham) played on Degrassi. This fact is probably the most frequent insult hurled by Drake critics. The rapper makes fun of himself here, noting his $19 million deal with Apple as the reason he doesn't worry about haters. Can't really argue with that kind of money, can you?

Here Drake is insinuating the features he did with Meek Mill (on the songs "Amen" and "R.I.C.O.") were favors. Generally, rappers are paid varying amounts when they provide a guest verse on another artist's song.

The reference here is clear: Drake is commenting on how Meek Mill's girlfriend (and frequent Drake collaborator,) Nicki Minaj, is a better rapper and a much bigger star than Meek himself. It is unclear how the current beef has affected Drake and Nicki's relationship.

Drake again has the upper hand here: his most recent album If You're Reading This it's Too Late was certified gold after just five days, while Meek Mill's first album Dreams and Nightmares took more than three years to reach that mark.
