Smacked VoodooIt wasn't. And Wayne told him he didn't even need to do all that to be popping. But hubris and a victim complex will make niggas do a lot of unnecessary s***.

Young DHonestly if someone asked me to tell them what one of these sound like or a bit of the lyrics I’d have no idea for any of them
do you want an award for this lol??

FREE 💜May 13, 2024Seeing Drake stans turn on everything he stood for these damn near 8 years is crazy

The IRONY in this whole thread is yall Drake stans thinking his pre-IYRTITL music where he was more “sensitive” or vulnerable wasn’t masculine or “too beta” are just exposing yall limited and (borderline racist, know a few of yall aint black) lens on what masculinity even is. Lol.
Nah fr like this entire beef has really exposed him and his stans

BRONXHis 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.
Insane how true that is.

The non blacks cosplaying the culture lol what about all the mexican kendrick fans in the west coast ? Are they also cosplaying the culture even tho they live in the same hoods as black people, so what makes drake fans any different?🤔

Dont hear it in nyc at all and I be outside
but you show me the chart #s for rhb ( since this is a drake discussion, everything is about the numbers amirite?)I mean his lineage (ye/pharrell/etc) didnt fall off not pivoting to street s***.
Hell , Ye only started talking street AFTER he fell off
So what’s your point, that he never needed to talk street s***? There’s probably a Drake song out there that you like, where he is talking street s*** or at least has a few bars in there on that type of s***. So what are we doing?
May 14, 2024We miss out on generational rap lore if he doesn’t.. it was written. Seriously, how is he any different than Pac?

Kompound Drake sxn HATED Started From The Bottom when it dropped
May 14, 2024I didn't grow up in the streets and neither did majority of the kids I went to school with. Yet I still had street friends and family members. Most of the kids from my area and myself included have street personas and grew up upper middle class. Doesn't mean there wasn't any outside influence. We use the slang, share similar morals etc. but we're not from there.
It's just influence......
Also, I can imagine being in the industry changed him. I don't think it's a facade. I think the Degrassi Drake was a fraud. Do I think he's street? No. Do I think he was influenced by rap/black culture? Absolutely. Especially spending time in Memphis with his pops.
- May 14, 2024
ryuHI really don’t understand the whole “street facade” take at all
I posted this the other day but I’ll post this here again bc it’s relevant:
#1 most of the people who say this never seen the hood a day in they life
#2 He never lied about where he was from or his background or none of that. He never lied about being in the streets. And as someone who grew up in a household with a nigga who sold crack and also got in shootouts on the regular I will tell you this: hood niggas do not have a monopoly on masculinity. Half of the s*** yall think is hood s*** is actually just MAN s***. You don’t have to be from the hood to not take s*** from anyone and stand on business. You don’t have to be from the hood to be confident and competitive. You don’t have to be from the hood to be confrontational. You don’t have to be from the hood to own a gun and protect yourself and you certainly don’t have to be from the hood to have a crew that will crash out for you. That’s not hood s***, that’s man s***
Y’all think just bc he’s not “from the hood” he should be a soft spoken beta or something and it really just shows where y’all principles as men are at truth be told
Y’all holla at me when this nigga fake claim a set or say he sold d**** or is from somewhere he not
bruh finally a nigga speaking facts. Niggas confuse confidence stemming from masculinity with "gangsterism" lmao jesus christ, expose these frauds
May 14, 2024·1 replyLongLiveHipHopIs that what Kendrick is doing when millions pretend like they grew up west west west....? I guess I'm just a mixed white guy who doesn't get it. I just want people to stop acting like art come from anything other than experience and influence. Two black or mixed folks growing up on the east vs the west do not have the same monolithic experience but who cares.
Is that Kendrick's fault that because he uplifts his community and represents his roots that he has corny white listeners that will attach themselves to his struggle? Kendricks last album literally said "fuck all of you, I am going to focus on my family". I don't think he has ever tried to encourage white people to act black. That is just an unfortunate consequence of the genre becoming so globalized.
It's just weird to criticize this but stay silent on rappers trying to get white teenagers to do the toosie slide on Tik Tok while criticizing socially conscious rappers for caring about the black struggle.

pimpinStop defending the Canadian culture vulture who deliberately exploits black culture for his own gain while giving nothing back.
pls you guys sound so ed when you say this
May 14, 2024I will be honest I like IYRT to Views Drake best
I think that was a healthy balance. Like on What a Time, he still sounded like he was a different perspective than Future to me. I think Pusha T mindfucked him a little bit to be more “tough”. But maybe he needed that after their exchange. Idk, either way I enjoyed a lot of the music less post Views.
Edit: I do like Dark Lanes…I should like Honestly Nevermind but it never clicked for me.

house split in two, his mom on 1st floor and him in the basement...helping his mom pay the bills / meds while making roughly 50k a year before taxes. He was upper lower class at best in a middle class neighborhood at best. Drake talks about this in multiple interviews including footage but because he wasn't homeless or living with the lights off while working since 14, go off.
is this a real post

Making music does not uplift communities anywhere it's music. no its' not Kenny fault but it is was it he sells, tootsie slide is basically drake electric slide. a type of dance / club track that has self referential lyrics to the dance which is on brand for drake sound and style. Also every thing Drake does that actually would be "black" if some else did it it isn't the pusha t black face pic done to voice black type casting issues nope it just hilarious. Looking for consistency.

playboi carti receiving high praise for wearing a thong dispels this argument entirely
plus, i don’t think drake “joined a gang” in his 20s
he just has influence and control over them
bro WHAT

yes. Drake spent the same amount of time working and sacrificing to whatever degree he made sacrifices (walking away from Degrassi as his primary maybe only income at the time to pursue music) just like a Kendrick Lamar or J. Cole.

You a Lil Wayne fan so you acting like Lil Wayne didn't tell Drake to NOT do like him is hilarious.
Lil Wayne fan is real generous
they use him as a prop to appear like they’re into hip-hop more than they actually are, there’s like a handful of actual fans on here max

!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6bNTun3ZXg&ab_channel=REVOLTit's a song black folks still f***ed to this day in America among other groups. Laws is what changes things war assassination's revolutions. no one and i mean no one song is actually changing the world maybe it could inspire but people been saying that about pac since before he died and black folks still f***ed among other groups.
