Critiques like yours are disingenuous and never to be taken seriously because it comes from a place of bad faith. Drake has said way worse things on songs on past albums that y'all didn't care this much about or harp on about. He's simply at a point in his career now where y'all over-exaggerate anything he says and does and paint it as more nefarious than it actually is because y'all are sick of seeing him do this s*** at the highest level and want him to get away.

Y'all blew up the Stallion line on Her Loss and made it seem like he told Megan Thee Stallion to go off herself or something. Eminem spits a more direct bar at her and y'all don't bat an eyelash. Other rappers have spat bars about her that were way worse and y'all also didn't give a f***. Even on the song where he sent the shots at Rihanna, he told you why he did that: she'd been talking s*** about him behind the scenes and it got back to him and he told her she needed to stop doing that because he knows a lot of s*** about her he can expose. That's something he also expounded on on Red Button when he mentions her best friend Melissa and says she's the only one that could maybe stop him from doing that. Even when he brought up Serena William's husband, that wasn't for no reason. That guy has been talking s*** about Drake for YEARS on social media and throwing shade at him. Drake finally addresses the f***shit and y'all twist it to mean he's jealous Serena moved on. So, you mean, he magically waited for 5 years after she'd gotten married and had a kid and just woke up one day and decided to talk s*** about her husband for no good reason?

That's another thing y'all do with him. You never even ask: WHY is this guy doing this? Is there any backstory there? Could something have happened to make him do this? Even with the Esperanza Spalding line. He didn't diss that woman. Away from Home is a song that has him rapping from a reflective and introspective perspective. He keeps going back to the refrain of "I remember" because all those lines he's spitting are about how he felt about things that happened in the past. Anyone who isn't being a disingenuous f*** can listen and understand that. Y'all heard him mention her name and immediately jumped to "Drake is a raging misogynist! He hates Esperanza Spalding! He's attacking her on his album!"

The fact is y'all have already made up your minds about Drake. Anything he does or says will be twisted to be made to seem like the most nefarious thing ever while y'all let other rappers get away with saying the worst things. Miss me with that whole bullshit about "we hold Drake to a higher standard than X artist because he aspires to be the GOAT." That's just a cop out because Cole and Kendrick also say crazy s*** on songs that y'all don't give a f*** about.

Drake never stopped rapping/singing about real s*** in his music. Songs like Slime You Out, Bahamas Promises, Tried Our Best, Drew a Picasso, All the Parties, Away from Home, Polar Opposites, Red Button The Shoe Fits, Wick Man and others have him rapping and singing about real s*** but y'all just don't care to listen to it anymore because apparently, him rapping/singing about his actual life and actual things going on in it is now stale and immature. He can't help anyone who feels that way. All he can do is do what he can do.

The criticisms about Drake have never been fair. The same older Drake music you're praising now as being more mature was also harshly criticized for other reasons in the past but now, it's magically the best music in the world because the Drake critiques have to find a way to endure.

The people who can't find any more usefulness in Drake's music can always stick to the older Drake music they feel is so much better or stop listening to him altogether. He'll be just fine. The people who still f*** with his music will support him and that'll have to suffice. All this back and forth about what he isn't doing right is tiring and a complete waste of time for everybody.

If you're not going to critique everybody else for doing something, stop critiquing the top guy for doing it and saying your reason for doing that is because you hold him to a "higher standard." A standard where you never give him credit for anything he's done or is doing and only ever discredit and overly-critique every single thing he says and does.
