If there’s a Zyn on the ground, floor, or table, I probably was there
Does Drake collab with other Toronto rappers? I’ve heard him shout out a few here and there, but don’t think I’ve heard a collab, or him even pushing or promoting Toronto’s rappers s***
He brought Smoke Dawg of Halal Gang with him on his European tour before he died in 2018
He has links to Pressa, Smiley, Top5, etc.
A complaint from people like Mo-G of Halal Gang who he shouted out on Summer Sixteen was that he wasn’t getting paid enough and he was still stuck in the hood
I don’t know what the f*** happened to Top5 but he was around Drake for a while and claimed to be his shooter
If I remember correctly, he might be in prison
TLDR: I have grown to like Drake as a person less even though I like the music. The beef made me sit here and evaluate his character
I don’t feel like making a whole thread about this so I’m gonna throw it in here.
Earlier this morning I was sitting down thinking like what happened to Drake the person? I have always been a huge fan of the music but since probably after Views I became less and less invested in who he is as a person. Like something flipped that never truly sat right with me. I never let that bother me when it came to the music because I for the most part enjoyed it. But like, what flipped?
The Drake from 2010 (at least publicly) is not the same Drake that we have today. Back then he felt more humble and appreciative of a lot of things, and he still kind of is for certain things and people. But I think the success began to get to his head. The overt confidence mixed with the paranoia has created someone who I can see why people don’t like. I’m not privy to this mans life behind the scenes but certain things he’s been accused of seem plausible to me like having people in his crew who have done some terrible things. Him consistently being linked to younger women has always been weird (like the whole thing on Calling For You referencing the girl at the club he was into being 21 rubbed me wrong at first). I kind of have been looking at him like Leonardo DiCaprio if that makes sense.
Also the Mob Boss thing has never really rubbed me the right way either. I like the song Mob Ties, but what the f*** does the kid from Degrassi have to do with it? Like has he really fallen into that or is it an act? The ties are there with the Prince family and people around him like Baka, but him specifically getting into all that has always been a little weird to me.
Then now he’s got literally almost every one in the game against him. It’s gotta be deeper than him being the most successful rapper of this era. Also the people who have been actively pro Drake in the mainstream like XQC, Ak, etc. aren’t people that I like at all. I’ve always been like “Damn, I’m on the same side as THOSE people?”
This whole thing has been entertaining for sure but I’m really sitting here contemplating where by disconnect with Drake has been even though I admittedly love the music output. I listen to Drake more than Kendrick but I’ve never thought Drake was a better MC. I echo the sentiment of “I like Drake with the melodies, I don’t like Drake when he acts tough” but I also like the tough tracks under certain circumstances (like the gym).
I think he’s probably a good dad and takes care of those in his immediate circle, but beyond that? It’s fishy.
At the end of the day I don’t want the allegations to be true, but I’m starting to think at least some of them could be. Namely him being involved in one way or another to a ring (whether it’s having money in it or just having people in his crew who do it). I don’t think he’s a pedo, but he’s on Leo time if that makes sense.
I would also like to add, I was not for him coming in Tory’s defense like AT ALL.
I have always been a Tory Lanez hater, his music sucks, what he did to Megan was despicable, and Drake taking up for people like him and Chris Brown has always been a bad look.
They been going weeks saying Drake and Lucian control the industry yet we got Drake diss tracks about to top the charts for the 2nd month in a row

Doesn’t that support that theory

i would be seriously hurt if anything ever happened with kanye or kendrick that resulted in me never being able to listen to them again. same applies for most artists i like, actually.
somehow, the same doesn't apply to drake. i just don't care. if his music is tainted for me, oh well.

Toronto is in absolute shambles right now, the leafs just got eliminated from the playoffs last night. Poetic justice.
