“Going Bad” is the latest club hit by Meek Mill featuring Drake. Drake’s feature officially goes to break the ice on their longstanding feud, which started back in 2015. The lyric, “Me and Drizzy back-to-back, it’s gettin’ scary (Back-to-back),” is Meek acknowledging the beef and putting it to rest. The rest of the song speaks to how Meek and Drake have been balling and will continue to, showing listeners how they flex on their haters.
The use of minor chords and percussion create a light spooky vibe, and its club feel is derived from the flow of the song itself. Both Meek Mill and Drake successfully bring the energy to this banger. With Drake starting the song and Mill swooping in for the second verse, there was no doubt for me that it would be hype.
Hip hop has been at the top of its game this past year, and “Going Bad” is no exception.
