Joe Budden Drops Drake Diss Track with Odor Punching Bautista as the Cover Photo

Joe Budden is giving Drake a taste of his own medicine.

Joe Budden, whom you might remember from his 2003 hit single "Pump It Up," has officially joined a long list of rappers feuding with Drake.

Budden released a diss track titled "Wake" early Wednesday morning, where the rapper goes at Drake's throat with bars like, "No really, we want a Party album/ But you keep stealing all of Party's album/ To go and put it on your party album."

To add insult to injury, the cover photo for Budden's diss track comes from the famous bench-clearing brawl that occurred earlier this season between Drake's Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers. The photo captures Rangers infielder Rougned Odor taking physical revenge on Blue Jays all-star Jose Bautista for a hard slide, months after the outfielder's epic bat flip in last year's ALDS, which effectively ended Texas' season. If Budden's bars didn't upset Canadians, the photo surely will.

Regardless of what you might think of Drake, referencing baseball rivalries is emerging as the newest and coolest way to heat up a rap feud, thanks to the Toronto rapper. Last summer, Drake fired back at Meek Mill with his diss track "Back to Back," which featured a cover photo of Joe Carter's World Series-winning home run that made the Jays back-to-back World Series champions.

If Drake's up for it, it wouldn't be hard to go at Budden, who hasn't been relevant since Carter ended Mitch Williams' career, or his Yankees, who look washed up and are sitting below .500. After Drake spent all of last summer destroying a rapper's career, let's see if he's ready to do it again and hit another one out of the park.
