Jay Z - Drake started this one when he went at Jay Z in a Rolling Stone interview, saying that all the art references Hov likes to make are "corny." That must've gotten under Jay's skin because he let loose in a freestyle, doing an oh-so-rare-for-Jay name-check: "Sorry Mr. Drizzy for so much art talk/ Silly me, rappin' 'bout sh-- that I really bought / While these rappers rap about guns that they ain't shot / And a bunch of other silly sh-- that they ain't got."(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Kid Cudi - Kid Cudi took aim at Drake on The Arsenio Hall Show. After lamenting how much focus there is on "money, cash, hoes, braggadoccio," in music these days, Cudi said he too could rap about those things, but chooses not to. If he did choose to, though, "there would be no Drake," he said. (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Shyne - Shyne took a shot at Drake in an interview with MTV News. "What does he do?" Shyne Po asked rhetorically. "He's an actor from Canada. So he just studied Lil Wayne, studied Kanye... he studied them and he just acts like a street kid? I would really prefer Drake to sing about girls and sing about being a good kid from Canada and whatever that entails."(Photo: UPI/Debbie Hill/Landov)

Pusha T - Pusha T and Drake began waging their cold war in 2011, when Pusha released "Don't F--k" Wit Me," which featured the lines, "N---as on they sophomore actin' like they boss lords...the swag don't match the sweaters." The subliminal shots continued on "Exodus 23:1," which prompted Drizzy's Young Money homies Lil Wayne and Jae Millz to respond with more explicit diss tracks.

DMX - DMX has never made his distaste for Drake a secret. “I don’t like anything about Drake," he said in a February radio interview. "I don’t like his f--king voice. I don’t like what he talks about. I don’t like his face. I don’t like the way he walks. Like, nothing. I don’t like his haircut. I might just… Let me shut up, I’ll just stop right there.” Tell us how you really feel, X. (Photo: Mike Lawrie/Getty Images)

Beanie Sigel - Drake got caught up in the crossfire between Beanie Sigel and his former boss Jay Z in 2010 when Hov rapped on Drizzy's "Light Up." Beans seemed to think that Jay was dissing him subliminally on the record, and said Drake was guilty by association. "I know that f----t s--t you poppin' on them Drake records, them lil' slurs," Beans said in a YouTube video, addressing Hov. "[I will] smack the s--t outta Drake's b---h a-- ... I have no problem seein' anybody on sight." Well, alrighty then. (Photo: Beanie Sigel/Myspace)

Common - Common admitted he was dissing Drake on last year's "Sweet" when he ad-libbed, "Singing all around me man, la-la-la." After Drake seemed to reply with a heated verse on Rick Ross's "Stay Schemin'," Com called him "Canada Dry" in a response verse. The two have since squashed their (totally random) beef.

Charles Hamilton - Charles Hamilton dissed Drake in a freestyle over the beat for "The Motto" in 2011, spitting, "It's sad really, what these rap f---s really did/Ask Drizzy or this wack-a-s n---a Wiz/Mad disses, but I'm that cat, can you dig?" No one really noticed. (Photo: Amanda Edwards/WireImage)

Future - Future was majorly pissed when Drake was a no-show at the video shoot for their hit collabo, the remix to "Tony Montana." "It's basically a slap in my face," he said in an interview, "because they're like, 'S--t, you should've done it with someone from Atlanta, who was going to get in the video, who wanted to be a part of your video.'"
