Drake is still a loser even after he won...

[@ianstratton]

Fantano telling everyone Drake sent him a vegan cookie recipe out of friendliness only for Drake to immediately reveal "nuh-uh! I actually sent you a bunch of insulting and disparaging texts because your reviews bother me so much!" is still one of the most pathetically insecure things a musician of his stature has ever done.

[@TheSkaOreo]

THAT'S THE CRAZY THING!!! when the cookie recipe dropped, a lot of people bought into it and thought Drake actually did this as a joke. If Drake had any level of self-awareness, he would have seen what Fantano was doing, settled their beef offline, and just kind of went along with it. I guarantee that most people probably would have found it endearing. Instead...yeah. FD's right. For all his success and money he really does still act like a loser.

It's really hard for someone who spent most of their life as the underdog to transition your mindset away from those feelings of disenfranchisement once you've moved up and out of it. Drake isn't the underdog anymore, but he hasn't done the work to make peace with his past so he's still stuck in angry nerd mode. Honestly, one of the things he's probably feeling is paranoia and confusion wondering why he still doesn't have the things that he truly wants.

[@Rule.303]

I'm not an expert but somebody's got to explain to me how a child actor from Canada who is given the keys to the entertainment industry, in his words quite literally the keys to a $300,000 sports car, can be seen as the underdog. I was a working class kid from Northern California who is better looking and more talented than Drake in every way but I always knew I would end up in construction because I don't have the family connections that Drake has. My homeboy Hobo Johnson made it out of this life and I would call him an underdog. Drake was literally born into that position.

I was bullied pretty heavily when I was a kid, and even though it mellowed out during high school I stayed isolated for a long time. I was very lonely. A large part of my life was spent wondering (privately but desperately) what it was that made me such an easy target. I'll probably never really know the answer to that, whether it was something intrinsic to me as a child or whether it was just a question of circumstances, but I was always trying to do something to my behaviour so that I could fit in, even though it usually just made me more awkward and gave me pretty heavy anxiety. I never learnt to just exist, because it was pretty clear that there was something about me that my peers did not like. At least, that's what it felt like. I don't know what happened during the course of my twenties--probably a number of things, including a) being rewarded heavily in university for stuff that, it turned out, I was really good at, and b) falling really ill. Just when I was starting to encounter success and shed my social outcast stain, I lost nearly everything; I had to drop out of school, became very isolated again as a result of forced bedrest, and had to come to terms with the barest bones of what made my life worth living, because (not to be morbid, but) a lot of it up till that point had not necessarily been worth it, and the amount of energy I needed at that moment just to stay alive felt insurmountable. But I did want to live, and so I fought for it, and when I emerge on the other side to start rebuilding from scratch, I had fuller, deeper knowledge of what I wanted for myself, who I wanted to be. I guess this all pares down to the ole "love yourself" adage, but in my case that reckoning with social trauma was forced by anther, much more dire trauma. I don't like a lot of who I was before I was ill, and I didn't like it then either. I was mean and bitter and confused. I'm still confused, because everyone is, but I'm a lot more comfortable in that confusion. A lot of my fight for my health was also about a fight for my dignity (the medical apparatus is Not Fun when you're female). Now that I've fought and won that fight, I know what I've survived, and that self-assurance, above all else, is what allows me to now recognize and confront bullies, but also preserve my own sense of empathy and kindness. I don't know if I'd have untangled myself from the knot of all that trauma if I hadn't almost died. I'll never know. Welp this was a novel.

As a Canadian the out of nowhere success of this guy was bewildering he wasn’t part of the scene here he didn’t pay his dues in his city or country he used his TV celebrity platform to promote himself which everyone could tell wasn’t authentic and not based on talent but on pure marketing.. he tries desperately to check all the boxes even when it makes no sense he tries to be not scary and accessible to the mall type crowd, but at the same time act hard and make fake gangster references to a fake gangster lifestyle he never had.. me like many others up north thought he would be a flash in the pan and gone as soon as he arrived, but equally as bewildering, he seems to have longevity for no apparent reason.. there are so many more talented people up north that could lyrically run circles around him, but will never reach his level of success for reasons the true hip hop generation will never understand

I think the worst part about Drake is that he doesn’t seem to move forward in his life. After having a kid being exposed as his, about to hit 40, and being one of the most successful rappers without the endorsement of the game (fellow rappers, OGs, and fans), he still raps like a 20 year old nerd that thinks he’s being cool. He’s rapping about the women he slept with and complaining that it’s a problem when he doesn’t seem to wanna look in the mirror. Dropping random female names saying he jams them in his phone like sardines is something I’d expect from a bachelor in his 20s. Not a grown man with a kid. Also side note, it’s worth mentioning that he constantly talks about being promiscuous while trying to act like a good dad (making songs about his son and messages to him and putting his drawing as an album cover).

Drake has already hit his peak.

idk anything about him or rap at all, just what I've been hearing from friends, but I think he could have a gigantic turn around if he has some sort of major psychological breakthrough/blossoming. Which doesn't seem likely, but definitely possible. Seems like he just needs to go monk mode for a 6-12 months, get some serious psychological help. like the 500 pound guy who suddenly decides to lose all the weight and follows through. He would need to swallow his pride/humble himself, take accountability, and make some apologies. In an intrinsically motivated and legitimately genuine way. Which is almost definitely not going to happen cuz your psychological makeup is largely immutable after 30 years old or so. Would be cool to see though, I'd like to see more bloomers and less doomers in the world.

I don’t think someone as self serving as Drake will ever go to therapy. That’s a difference between him and Kendrick. I heard a story about Kendrick being empathetic towards someone working for him, we’re always hearing the opposite stories about Drake. I’m not saying Kendrick is perfect, I’m just saying he cares about the people around him instead of expecting others to respect him without showing any respect in return like Drake.

The thing about this is that Drake has kinda always been this dude. I can remember a time where real hip hop heads were pointing out the inauthenticity in his music from the jump, adapting the sounds and slang of Houston and trying as hard as he could to cover up the Aubrey in him. It's just even more glaring the more he ages, and there are people who can relate to that insecurity in yourself and fantasize about doing what he has done with that mentality.

it’s hard for me to feel bad that he doesn’t get the hip-hop cred he so desperately craves, because he doesn’t make any effort to get it. if he dropped an album with 12 8am in Charlotte caliber songs it would probably be hailed as a classic. but he insists on dropping the same bloated mess of stale r&b/trap fusion and whatever the flavor of the month sound is (rage beats on this album, NO bounce on scorpion, gentrified dancehall on views) EVERY TIME. i appreciate honestly nevermind more than most people because he at least stuck to a single sound for the whole thing

Excellent analysis. Really articulates a deeper cultural problem I find with some men in my age group. As an adult, I had to cut off a childhood friend with very Drake-like behavior. We were entering our late 20s and early 30s and he was still struggling with that “I gotta glow up I gotta prove everyone wrong” mentality. The final straw was when he crossed serious boundaries with me as I was engaged with my now husband. And then I was the villain in his story when I called out the disrespect and severed the friendship, just like Rihanna and other exes are the villains in Drakes story.

That's because it all actually might be about his dad. He may have been looking for the acceptance of Black men/Black masculinity (as he idealises it) and ultimately ended up winning Hip Hop as a type of consolation prize. It was never about any of this. The Black Hip Hop community maybe never really took to him despite his success. As a person who also grew up without a parent (my mom) looking for that acceptance shows up in very interesting places. I also hope he processes with a good therapist. I actually became a therapist who specialises in the "mother wound" and other manifestations of childhood trauma. And I hope he comes back to share the healing and encourages the Hip Hop community to invest in their mental health - like Kendrick!

YES. This is why I’ll continue to call Drake an incel even if he’s not “involuntarily celibate”. Folks having that weird debate on Twitter don’t understand that an incel isn’t really about the definition - it’s a vibe, or a development arc (or, usually, lack thereof). I honestly feel like the nuance of what makes someone an incel is lost on folks who have never been a “loser” before. Drake went through his loser nice guy arc, still doesn’t get whatever love he feels he’s owed, and has responded by lashing out at women because it’s easier than reflecting on his insecurities. That’s a textbook incel progression right there.

Drake may have started at the bottom with his placement in hip hop culture, but that dude did not grow up nearly as poor as he pretends. He downplays the neighbourhood he's from, he downplays his connections, and he downplays that he was one of the richest kids in his high school. I'm not saying that hard work wasn't involved, but he did have enough of a safety net to try and try again even if he wasn't being embraced by the community. Personally though, I find Drake cringe as hell, and always have. As a person from Toronto, I hate the effect he's had on my city. Mostly just long lines for his whatever popups and his music being played at nearly every open club door for the better part of a decade, but holy crap this "The 6" thing just grinds my gears, especially with how popular it is among cafes in the suburbs.
