Drake and Kendrick: It's Bigger than Hip Hop.

[@lucretia_macevil]

I hate Drake a lot, my hater energy is strong in this one lmaooo.disclaimer because abusers and bullies make me the angriest P.S. I know the sound isn’t mixed, I didn’t use a microphone - I just jumped on and started talking, I didn’t have my normal set up. Turn up the volume and give me a break 😂 Update: I made this video the night not like us dropped - so there are things that were considered true then that were disproven now or things I learned: - the photoshopped single cover - the George Zimmerman line - the body bag rapper was a predator himself I was talking off the cuff and this is an opinion piece.

Drake's latest track dissing Kendrick for being touched as a kid and simultaneously denying his own ped allegations was not it, good lord. His fanbase is so braindead they think he's killing it but all of these tracks are going to age SO poorly and be presented as him outing himself down the line. He says that's not him but he makes fun of someone that has suffered from SA in the same breath. He doesn't demonize it or despise it, he thinks it's funny because he has a lot of experience with perpetrating it. If you listened to Mr Morale and thought it was "boring" that's such a huge red flag for me.

Damn right this is gonna be it. I know people would like to point to Chris Brown's treatment to Rihanna and Karrueche as a reason to hate him but I think Drake was SOOOOO MUCH WORSE. People have speculated that part of the reason Breezy had beef with Drake was due to Rihanna. Fast Forward, Drake has never been able to get over Rihanna and can't stop bringing her up now that she's with A$AP Rocky. In Show of Hands, ASAP Rocky said that Adonis's mom slept together prior to meeting Drake. But the one that makes me despise Drake the most is how he did Tunechi dirty. He slept with Tunechis girl the day before he got with her.

22:48 As a folk musician, the conversation around the appropriation of hip-hop into whiteness has been fascinating to watch, because it's almost exactly what happened to the banjo. The banjo originated in the Caribbean islands among enslaved Africans and, for the majority of its history, was considered to be an exclusively African instrument. White folks looked down on it and all that. That only changed when white people started doing minstrel shows in the 1800s. So the banjo has been associated with white people for only 200 years, yet nobody questions that in any sort of big way - *that's* how completely it was absorbed into the dominant (white) culture.

I don't ever elevate someone I enjoy like that. I don't ever forget that they're just people and as flawed and crazy as anyone else. And if I find out someone I enjoy is secretly a terrible person, I'm permanently done with their art. I hate people who pretend these decisions are the end of the world, or hateful or harmful to an artist. If they harmed someone else, I'm not going to feel bad about causing them harm and I'm never going to care more for a terrible person than I do their victim(s). This stuff really isn't that complicated. If others don't have the principles to do similar, that's fine. But they should own that IMO. Just straight up say "listening to music I can dance to is more important to me than the harm this person caused." They should really quit trying to dress that up in grand statements and just be honest.

Now that Kendrick has called him out, i hope these things get taken more seriously than they did in the past.

Fellow Sagittarius father here. I appreciate the honestly and realness in this video. I am tired of living in a culture where the vast majority just accepts "open secrets" from an artist if they happen to like their music, or tied their identity around that artist. No one should ignore patterns. And NO ONE should be okay with their impressionable, underage teen daughter to having a personal/private relationship of ANY sort, for any reason ever. Grooming is nothing at all to take lightly, and at best that is what Drake is doing. He is a very rich and influential guy who finds underage girls who are fans or look up to him. The guy is a professional actor and has made a career changing personas and acting roles depending on who is around you. He is a chameleon. Those are the most dangerous and manipulative. I don't know. I could ramble on forever. It saddens me to see so many people put their neck out to run defense, deflect or belittle these issues. But I am glad there are people with an audience like yourself, who can articulate and speak out against this creepy, predatory behavior. I am glad I found this channel and look forward to watching more of your content. Keep speaking your truths.

As a kid I was a fan of R. Kelly I was 7 in 2003 when Ignition Remix was everywhere. Obviously as a kid at the time I had no idea about the allegations and how credible they were. But seeing that there were adults that were aware of it but let it slide really disturbed me. When these allegations first came out about Drake alongside footage of him acting like this in public I had this feeling like now I'm the adult like the adults around me were when R Kelly's allegations came out. I felt at that time society is probably gonna let Drake coast along for years to come like they let R. Kelly do so until at some point they change their mind but really what is it gonna take for that to happen?

As someone who was born and raised in Houston, I HATE HOW HE CLAIMS MY CITY. As much as he likes to name drop it, I feel like A$AP Rocky has shown more praise to Houston and put subtle touches on his projects. While NY wasn't vibing with his southern hip hop sound at first, he kept it trill and paved his path into the culture. From collabs with Maxo Kream and Paul Wall to making some chopped and screwed type beats like Purple Swag and Peso, he's easily in my top 5. Not sure if people noticed it but there was another thing that made me respect him and Future more. At the end of Show of Hands, there is a dialogue that plays before Streets Made Me a King. The person speaking in is the H-TOWN LEGEND himself DJ Screw. Need i say more? As a Latino, i Also see his collabs with Bad Bunny as a way to get easy brownie points from latinos. Before both of them released Mia, Bad Bunny and J Balvin scored a massive W when they teamed up with Cardi B to release I Like It. Speaking of which, Cardi B has way more Latin collabs on her resume. With icons like Ozuna, El Alfa, Myke Towers, Arcangel and Anuel AA, she's always down to drop some latin heat.

He started out as a child actor on Canadian TV. And he spent several years working on Degrassi (which might've been broadcast on PBS here). This guy can't be honest about his nationality, even though he played a beloved character on a very popular show. If he's lying about something as innocuous as being Canadian, then I'm extra inclined to believe he's been inappropriate with minors. At this point do we even need evidence? For a crime that leaves notoriously little evidence? He's not on trial for it. TLDR: the man lies about being Canadian, why should I believe his response to the other claims?

This is one of the most accurate analysis I have seen so far in these days. From my perspective as a white, south European Hip-Hop tourist, this goes straight to the point. Thank you for sharing it.

THAT OPENING SHOTTTT. God I watched that several times. Such perfect energy.

I always hated that album cover so much!! He was 100% telling us who he was!! And people still dont believe he might have a second child!! People really are slow Kenny!!🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@jthopkins]

Crazy that anyone is riding this hard for DRAKE of all people.

[@ArabicNameGuy]

pimps always seemed so weak like the exact reverse of what a man should do, like you make her earn the money? by sleeping with other dudes? instead of having your own job? bruh

[@lucretia_macevil]

Agreed. I think pimps are too scared to become drug dealers, so they use their proximity to patriarchy to exploit others. The only reason why some sex workers even use pimps is because of safety. They are the “nice guys” of the industry. Where they think they’re nice and better than the dangerous men outside, but are equally if not more dangerous because they believe they’re doing something positive.

[@NoahBility]

I was thinking about checking in with you directly about this, but figured a video was coming Kendrick said it's time to toss this man out like Jazz It's bigger than rapping at this point

[@comebackkid44723]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Video was phenomenal.

[@BigAlexgator]

Amen to being autistic and being so good at cutting off harmful people after finding out they’ve done harm to anyone. But to me? It gets a bit more grey area. Obviously I have grown and learned differently, but I used to not fully realize when I was being abused always. Sometimes I did. But sometimes it took years to realize

[@lucretia_macevil]

It also took me years to realize this - me not mentioning it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist for me. I can understand the reason why people cause harm and still not want them to cause harm to me and reduce our interactions. Do what's best for you, it's not a competition!

[@BigAlexgator]

@@lucretia_macevil exactly!! You said it so beautifully

[@Twonicus80]

I love the tree metaphor, and the first branch to Drake being Rapper's Delight. No matter what is done with it, we should be promoting that level of critical thinking. The nuance and historical context necessary to create that metaphor should be applied broadly.

[@williamcooper8024]

If people listened to black women and sex workers it would be harder to take advantage/abuse/isolate/otherize them, which sure makes me wonder about all the effort and monies and horrible slanderous lies directed against "wokeness" as a concept. Like, a bunch of people with all the money suddenly start foaming at the mouth because people are aware of things. Or thinking critically. Making people aware that you exist and your life matters and it sure would be nice if the police could perhaps be account- Also what happened with the me too movement? It was amazing how much pushback there was but how low down and sneaky they were getting the message out, I didnt notice at the time but I DID notice that they weren't arresting anyone else for abusive behavior and also yeah people who literally brag about the abuse aren't punished they're actually given lots of money and get to be a senator or even the president! It really does scare the hell outta me just how many billionaires we have spending their billions to ensure that the abuse not only continues but gets worse, especially since they really seem to want people to be ignorant, desperate, exhausted and separated from your children/family. Supposedly they want these things because it will benefit people. It does look like it will be great for predators, which means ....They will somehow blame the abused againand use it as an excuse to "get tough on crime" or "finally install a thing in your brain because protect the children or w/e and then theres a warzone/school shooting/genocide we are told is totally the only way, the way Jesus would want, because as a christian nation we would never do violence, too busy feeding the hungry and healing the sick and uh... Making homelessness illegal b ut you cant stay in any of those millions of houses cause the rich pedophiles who run things will make more money this way, they designed it after all. It's horrifying and Im a privileged (white, super poor but I am happier without money so) guy, I don't even know how to approach your perspective. So thank you for talking about it, you're an excellent communicator. I think the only way to stop the various cycles of abuse is by being as open about it as possible. I honestly can't think of a compliment worthy/accurate enough, I really appreciate what you've done. It really is gross how they glorify pimps. too many words from me, good day o/

You are wonderfully real. I love everything about your videos. Keep going. ❤❤❤

[@ottabee]

Thank-you for more very important content. A loverboy pimp is another version of how cults(religious or other) prey on and use all kinds of endearing psychological manipulation on vulnerable people. Whew, there are so/too many intentional and active predators throughout our "society", individuals and groups. Know yourself, trust yourself (especially your intuition/instincts), and respect yourself (especially how unique you naturally are), and always, always cultivate your selflove!

[@macfilms9904]

I have a rap playlist that goes back to Sugar Hill gang (because old) - it has & always had zero Drake on it. Never liked him & he always seemed sus. Kendrick is complicated but he's a genius and a true artist & I'm sooooo glad he aimed that intellect at Drake

[@ckronenwetter]

This conversation has brought a lot of new and interesting black creators into my feed. I dig it. Sorry it had to be this subject matter, but I'll take it as a personal silver lining to be expanding the diversity of my perspective. Thanks for sharing your voice.

"You need to separate the art from the artists" 🤓☝️

[@Between2Riverz]

It’s crazy, I became a fan of Drake in 09, had a song called Killer with Nipsey hussle….that should’ve been his first strike… The tides switched for me in 2016, when i noticed his fanbase went from alt-hip hop fans to the early version of the manosphere and the proud boys put together. Then as I look into these allegations (industry colonization and PDFile), I see who he is….. rap Epstein.

[@chreeess]

Very sorry to hear of your experience in the HXC scene…Back in 2009, a very close friend of mine had Johnny Craig try to assault her, she was 13

[@lucretia_macevil]

I’m sorry your friend had that experience too.

[@chreeess]

@@lucretia_macevil it’s frustrating and saddening but shows how the industry can propagate these sorts of people

[@GeneralBulldog54]

I don’t hate Drake, I just don’t think about him and that’s kinda the problem. I should’ve loathed and condemned him years ago.

[@caraxkins]

Megan Thee Stallion is Helen of Troy!!!! Megan Thee Stallion is Cassandra!!!! The greek tragedy of it all!!!

[@KizzleLife89]

Meg literally lied but yeah really gonna ignore that.. Krama is a mf … no matter how much they force here on us… her music still gonna flop because the public knows that was fishy

[@aaron-qq7ih]

I respect people’s decision to cut off problematic artists. I just don’t think people who like Drake’s music can be categorized as the same people that defend his actions.

[@lucretia_macevil]

@@aaron-qq7ih just bump his albums in peace, no one is stopping you 😂

[@aaron-qq7ih]

@@lucretia_macevil Ehh, that's my stance. I only like a few songs of his. No big loss for me.

Im seeing so much through this vid its so scary for girls + woman out here tbh. Trafficking, especially of the sexual kind is a huge problem.

[@Lildeadthing420]

I love hearing current and former sw's speak on shit we actually have insight on instead of ppl who don't understand certain nuances of issues because it makes them uncomfortable. And when I hear ur also autistic I just feel so safe in this space

Girl...there is too much good music in the world for me to listen to Drake, CB, Quavo, Diddy, Trey Songz, any of the known/accused abusers...

Drake has rubbed me the wrong way since the drooooop. To the point where I'd be like "is it me? Am I just a hater for some reason?" Buy nope, im autistic and have a greatvread on these fuckin people

[@suhailrefaye92]

I started out not being a fan of Drake for no particular reason other than I simply didn't like him. But I'm grateful that as the years went by he has given me more and more actual reasons to be a hater lol.

[@karmmy365]

A lot of people outgrew Drake. Same exact age and liked Drake, but you kind of just outgrow it you grow up a little and get a little smarter.

[@aick]

Yeah Drake creeped me out forever too, never dug his music either. I just thought he was pop garbage, but this stuff makes me pay attention. Thanks.

[@CapriCarl-to4bx]

I just want to say, i believe you and you deserve to be believed. The world is so fucked up. When you spoke on that it for real made me tear up. So much love to you. And so much love to you for using your platform to speak up for Palestine.

[@punkwonder]

This is a fantastic video. I'm also a Sagittarius that hates Drake lol he has always rubbed me the wrong way. Quick note - I think the cover of Not Like Us was an edit and isn't necessarily accurate regarding what type of offenders are there or not. I totally agree with you about Meg, she opened this up entirely. Fuck Drake even if none of the allegations Kendrick raised are true. Total misogynoir

[@lucretia_macevil]

Thanks for your comment! As far as the cover, everyone has said it was photoshop but I haven’t gotten proof yet 🤷🏾‍♀️same with the ai George Zimmerman line…his credibility is so shot that I don’t believe him either way lmao.
