A year ago, nations far and wide united to watch Drake and Meek Mill push each other to greater artistic heights by casually exchanging blatant insults and subtle disses. What a time. History is apparently a big fan of repeating itself, as here we are with Joe Budden and the 6ix God slowly but surely trading enough blows to qualify for a full-on beef.

A hookah-inspired moment of bonding, a peace gesture if there ever was one, made the disses especially hurtful for Budden:
"You want to use your celebrity to do that to me?" Budden said. "We smoked hookah together. How could you do that?"
