Is Drake Risking It All? : “His Music Career Might Be Done!!!”

[@selfmade8884]

You don’t have power if you don’t own a platform. Drake performs on a stage but he doesn’t own the stage he’s performing on. The person that owns the stage can take Drake off the stage and put someone else on the stage. The same people who created Drake are going to destroy Drake.

[@joshingram071]

J. Prince ain't destroying Drake no time soon. Either is Baby or Wayne. Those the ppl who made Drake.

[@AminTheDream1]

If no one can get into his spot and generate the revenue that Drake can, then he has power and leverage. The problem is that Drake is too focus on the fame and the hoes. He's not focused on making power moves until it's too late in the negotiations.

[@YMPJ123]

That’s the issue. I don’t think Drake has the songs that are worth going back to when you’re 50 outside of nostalgia purposes. He raps from the perspective of a sucker. That kind of music tends not to have much staying power. He doesn’t have songs that you can go to for comfort, information and life lessons when shit hits the fan in society (which is what Mos Def was saying). Listening to Drake, you’d think this country hadn’t gone through anything. In reality, it’s been chaos. The music doesn’t reflect that. This is why albums like To Pimp A Butterfly are held in such high regard over Drake’s entire catalogue. The brand “Drake” remains. The actual music though? Ehhh…

[@Nominal405]

​@@YMPJ123you have a point but I will say he does have introspective songs. Sandra's Rose or Too Much. They're more personally introspective. Not really speaking on society at large. But still they have lyrics that people could relate to and get a message from
