Charged Up: Meek Mill Didn’t Damage Drake’s Career, He Energized It

0

One of the coolest X-Men villains is a guy named Sebastian Shaw. Wikipedia succinctly describes his powers as, “the ability to absorb energy and transform it into raw strength.” I thought of Sebastian Shaw tonight as Drake ran his Meek Mill diss track back for the fourth fucking time in a row on OVO Sound Radio. (Blame Saturday morning cartoons. Certainly don’t blame the trash X-Men film that features Kevin Bacon’s mediocre turn as Shaw.) The song is called “Charged Up,” and of the dozens of barely-subliminals packed within it, there’s a lot to read into the title alone. Drake is Sebastian Shaw. Meek Mill threw a colossus-sized shot at him, his reputation, and his legacy this past week. And if Drake’s silence on social media, followed by first response is any indication, all he did is absorb it and transform it into raw fucking fire.
