The “DRAKE” Finesse: How He EXPLOITED Young Artists for Years‼️

[@HenryLopez-tr5bb]

Respect to Esso for telling Hynaken to finish his thought after being interrupted. Grown man ish

Esso shines in these conversations. He needs to stop getting drunk on the show and stick to the industry BTS talk

I agree with you 100!! People don’t know how smart Kendrick is. He beat Drake on his own game!!!!!

[@spartacusnetwork19]

The Label helped kendrick 😂

Oh but the label never help Drake😂😂😂😂😂

[@ransizzles]

Drake gave Kendrick is greatest look. Drake did for Kendrick what Kendrick couldnt do for himself

[@TubiTuesdays]

@@ransizzlesyeah drake helped the guy who won a pulitzer

[@highcee11]

Kendrick Lamar is extremely intelligent and has a military mindset, he's a historian, with the hood in/with HIM. As the guys stated, why don't EVERYBODY, just leave this MAN alone. They all seem to forget, Jimmy Iovine, and Andre Young going to always have Kendrick back.

[@berlingray8058]

Aubrey tried to do the same to The Weeknd in 2011 (put him in the OVO Sweatshop like he did to Partynextdoor) but Weeknd and his team wasn't having. Aubrey still salty about to this day 😂😂😂💯

[@Purplegorillaz]

PND should of done what The Weeknd did..He would of been Competition with The Weeknd on some Best R&B Singer from Toronto... Purple Gorillaz Was Here. Peace.

[@berlingray8058]

@@Purplegorillaz PND doesn't have a personality though or star presence. He would have been goos on his or at least with a different label in a sense but he really wouldn't have been much competition in Toronto, especially up against Weeknd/Nav/Tory Lanez

[@bamm86]

@@Purplegorillazyeah PND couldn’t compete against The Weeknd with his skin tone. The white girls weren’t feeling him like that. So he let Drake be his mask. Drake owes his best period to The Weeknd and PND. Without their sounds, he would’ve disappeared.

[@Msboochie2]

This segment was exceptionally well done. These are the things that are not be discussed enough, if at all. I always look forward to hearing what you have to say on music industry behind the scenes.

[@dctae]

they not letting no artist beat the system 💯…thats why from the jump they sign you..

[@StayRealMarcus]

Just don’t take so much in advance up front! Just cause you able to take for example a 1M$ budget instead take a $100k! If you can recoup quickly the sooner they owe you!

[@olaakande5581]

Everything Esso & Hynaken saying are facts lol When drake dropped his lawsuit the first thing that came to my mind was “mannnnnn Lucian could Michael Jackson u & really pay some chick to call u a pedophile….u really playing” LOL

[@youngfleat]

Facts lol

[@SunniMerlot]

Have that kid he kissed on stage say she got mental issues after it and it’s over for Drake

[@tashajones3661]

Don't have to we already saw him on stage.

[@SA-so9qs]

Why would he go through with the law suit if he had skeletons in his closet tho? The pedo stuff was already alleged by Kendrick and he still went throughwith it. Imo this is a clear indication that Drake has no real skeletons in his closet. It would be suicide if he did because UMG will find them

[@theelectricgrid8020]

You have a newsubscriber this was the best breakdown of this battle I’ve seen it was very informative simple and to the point

[@nwayoo9559]

They not gonna let the artist be bigger than the machine. Good luck Drake.

[@KsgViaFaith]

It's funny how people talk about Drake helping someone get a number one when he got writers helping him He is not doing that by himself he uses the sweatshop the truth is in your face and known yet people still lean on lies and Deceit.

[@thinkfreely6045]

Meek Mill Lost That Battle Because He Jumped Out There Calling Out Drake With No Music To Drop At Him. Drake Immediately Responded With Charged Up And Followed Up With Back To Back. That's Why Meek Loss. He Start Posting Stuff With Money Phones And Rolex Pictures. He Never Dropped A Good Diss Towards Drake.

[@jeffreymarumorankeng3839]

Facts.... he actually took drake litely talking about ghost writers and all only for him to get smoked

[@hiitsme3039]

As a drake fan… meek won the war he lost the battle… he wanted to dent his emcee credibility which he did. I took him off my all time emcee list.. he’s on the Kanye list as far as artistry which isn’t bad it’s just not something drake likes.

[@dopeunapologetic7145]

But wasn't those two tracks written for him.

[@elbruces]

Meek Mill did manage to put an asterisk after Drake's name though. Ever since then any time any rapper mentions ghost writers in any way, everybody immediately thinks "is he talking about Drake?"

[@supermario8175]

I didn't think not like us was the best of the disses he put out

[@PatienceLove]

It wasn’t, it was just catchy and relatable.

[@Estermalay]

This is the best breakdown I have seen on this!!!

[@jacqulynsmither8770]

Wow, this is great information I had not heard anyone talk about before. Everyone is always saying having a person on a Drake record is a hit for that artist. However, I never knew the deal Drake has with the artist . It very much sound like a slave deal between Drake and the lesser know artist.

[@PatienceLove]

He tried to play with Kodak by asking Kodak to work with him. They did multiple songs together. When Kodak asked when the songs were coming out, he told Kodak to drop the song. He tried to make it like he was doing Yak a favor, Yak said nope, and we never got those songs. Notice, Drake doesn’t have too many features on his songs, he feature on other artists songs.

[@Tobe-rt5ru]

XXXTentacion murder case just involved Drake again out of nowhere

[@jfraz1992]

There’s plenty of evidence that drake has set up a hit

[@locklife4336]

Here goes the internet playing detective again. Y’all should never ever listen to rap if you’re gonna be hypocritical. You can’t co-sign there message but wanna play detective when you’re favorite rapper dies.

[@LincolnPratt]

Yall snapped on this, very informative Pod

[@EliteBlackSash]

As far as the OVO Sweatshop, one only need to look at Makonnen and Mo-G. They tried to ice Makonnen entire BACK catalogue. Obviously so they could pick through what he wanted to TAKE. As for the, “pre-lawsuit”. The fact UMG said, “If Drake sues us for defamation, we’ll gonna sue Kendrick” I would never assume Drake’s team had no inkling that would happen. So, to me, even though he doesn’t mention Kendrick, I still don’t believe there’s no malicious intent there…

[@PatienceLove]

UMG is giving him the heads up that they didn’t put the money behind Dot, it was Interscope. UMG can’t sue Interscope, and all Dot has to say is, he had no clue how Interscope would promote. Drake does not win, regardless.

[@NORBZMUSIC]

That very last sentence "...never let the artist get bigger than the machine" hits all the nails. So many examples, I doubt this will be different.

[@BornGiftedMusicGroup]

Thank u guys 4 not making excuses B/c i keep hearing ppl give drake so many passes it’s really annoying me

[@canon60458]

The thing is.. these people be guilty as sin. They are protected from repercussions while they play ball, once they cross the wrong person, all of their skeletons get let out of the closet. I agree that the game that’s played at that level to put folks back in their place.. but these people are no victims.. it’s just their chickens coming home to roost

[@PatienceLove]

And Drake had the opportunity to go quietly.

[@canon60458]

@@PatienceLoveabsolutely. No one forced him to do any of things he did.

[@theenatashasheree]

13:50 it’s the XXX case that got him panicking. Diddy tried to give the masters back and name himself “Love” when he realized the hatred he treated people with was coming back to collect. Drake suing because he did everything but be himself when HipHop let him in and loved him.

1000%

[@YetiCoolBrother]

You missing the point... Hov was really a street nigga and Black American in general and really like that. Drake dont even actually talk that or lived that life and will go home to Canada after the studio session. That's the main difference.

[@DESIR715]

It’s already starting! All a sudden Drake is once again being implicated in XXXTentacions death. One of the convicted killers was granted an appeal, if Im not mistaken.

[@Emanon-G7]

I agree with HOV, J. Cole couldn’t make a hit,HOV told Drake to give him one because he need one. First Person shooter is J.Cole first number 1 like Future and Rick Ross due to the Drake Stimulus Package. Respect to Drake and Kendrick for making number 1 records.

[@thinkb4uspeakmyg414]

J cole never needed that boy he was good regardless n Drake got a team of writers and the machine behind him so ofcourse people would collab with him until they found out he a snake

[@LegendaryTay24]

Man Jay Z did that to shit on Cole. You ain’t seen them two around each other since he signed that nigga. Just like you stopped seeing Rihanna and Ye around dude. You can’t outshine the master even tho Rih and Ye ended up being bigger but for one Rih is a woman pop star and Kanye is producer first rapper second who has help writing his rhymes….COLE on the other hand is a pure organic RAPPERS RAPPER and imo a better rapper than Jay and I feel like Jay knew that. Cole is way more relatable and marketable to the average person. Jay knew that and did his best to stunt Cole career. Cole is record deal with ROC Nation but had to move as an independent artist. Jay never helped Cole fr

[@eamonnwest244]

There are countless artist who have gotten a hit from Drake and went on to continue to do great things. And Jay used to do the exact same thing and nobody batted an eye. This is what the greats have earned imo. We just pile on Drake because he not American and he been winning for too long Yall talking about Baby, Migos and JB not playing them songs but leave out the fact that their buzz grew tremendously and they made tour miney, merch, fed their families. etc. Y’all hold Drake to a standard you never held Jay to! And that’s the truth

[@sxt4447]

I totally agree. Drake would’ve been able to recover from this if he had just gone away for a while like people have been telling him to do for years and come back with a solid album. But his ego won’t allow him to do that. The moment he started playing with UMG and Spotify is the moment he sealed his fate. His career is about to go in the 🚽

The difference is, Drake be reaching out and asking artists to get on their music. Beyonce or Hov not asking anyone to jump on their songs, artists go to them.
