Mans could have avoided so much trouble if he just stayed in his melodic Canadian lover boy bag I mean he would still have the character problems of being weird about girls but main point is his opps would have had less ammunition to gun him down

no but that's what he yearned for

prolly to get respect from his peers and move on from getting embarrassed i.e: getting pissed on by tip's friend, getting slapped by diddy, having that "nice" canadian rep throughout TML-NWTS era

YOLO

I always knew that’d be his downfall

he should've went the cannibal route and just start eating mfs

Mob Ties Out Now

Nonstop Out Now

Yes Indeed Out Now

Never Recover Out Now

Going Bad Out Now

Literally yes it was necessary. Are you stupid? Are you dumb?

big lurch who?

His fans are the same way. The non black ones anyway. They cosplaying to be a part of the culture and he is a pretty good leader for them.

The children yearn to be gangster

Should've got addicted to heroin

I think he would be less big, because a big part of what made him special was how many lanes he could fit into and how many layers he could put in his music all at once.
That being said, it still may have been the better choice to leave the street s*** to real street people, but that ship has sailed by this point

Honestly I think he wouldn’t be as big as he is without it

He’s putting on a persona obviously but In the early 2010s he was seen as the corny singer-rapper until he linked with Future

He could’ve done that w/o doing an extremely caricaturized version of street images

The street facade killed Drake’s chances of being the true legend that his direct peer, Taylor Swift, eventually became - so no. Hotline Bling’s commercial/cultural peak and One Dance’s commercial peak are pre-thug Drake as well. Gods Plan, Nice For What and In My Feelings diverge from the newer thug-Drake model and more closely resemble old Drake musically and lyrically

that's true but we wouldn't have gotten images like

Why does this look Ai generated

That image went triple platinum in my camera roll when Views came out lol

He’s been talking like this to a degree since IYRT era but was a lot more subtle about it. Feel like now it’s just full on cosplay rather than just lyrical filler. To answer the question, I think it’s an overall net negative in quality but it has given him subject matter to talk about that he didn’t have before I guess

heavily touched up if I had to assume, but I remember when it dropped people said it looked like a GTA5 loading screen

If I was a Papi angel it'd be my laptop background.

LMAO
