The July feud between rappers Drake (right) and Meek Mill (left) placed hip hop brawls and diss tracks in the age of social media and online streaming. Drake&#039;s second diss track aimed at Meek Mill, &quot;Back to Back,&quot; was eventually nominated for a 2016 Grammy Award and helped Drake win the feud through its quotability, online popularity and lyrical attacks.
