The-Dream could care less about beefing. MTV asked the singer/songwriter about Pusha T's "Exodus 23:1" track and whether or not another diss record should be released aimed at superstar Lil Wayne.

His response was that artists have to move past hip hop beefs.

"The only way that we can respond is make great records, and nobody is gonna beat me at that," The-Dream said. "If you're talking to somebody, you speak to them or you just walk up to them and slap them. I think beef is so '96. It's like, what's the point? I don't think anybody is actually that good enough to direct anything at anyone. You can't take that much time, there's too much money in the words that either one of us have -- me or Pusha -- to direct directly at anyone."
