Most rappers are actors. I often compare the music industry and rap in particular to professional wrestling. The wrestlers are actually physically throwing each other around, they can still get hurt, it's not a easy thing but...it's a show, it's entertainment. Same with the "rap" industry, sure, some of these guys come from the hood but everything is staged and driven by executives just to make money and in part socially engineer a target audience.

[@chariot5920]

It’s Drake’s fault he isn’t celebrated as a “black” artist by Afro people. J. Cole is also biracial but he goes out of his way to uplift the community, celebrate the community, and critique the community. So he is celebrated more for his blackness. I don’t think it’s fair for Drake to complain when Drake rarely talks about the community unless it involves hip hop

[@BlindBloomer]

Why do you need musicians to lift up your community ... you should be able to do that without the voice of a millionaire

[@ninadganore]

people support rappers who talk about the community only if they agree with the rapper's opinion. Otherwise they just drag his name through the mud.

[@emmanuelcrepin773]

He addressed ur exact point in his recent interview acknowledging that him not speaking up enough plays a role but he also said that he’s always been someone that prefers actually doing things instead of posting about it. Also that he prefers talking about these issues amongst his close friends. I agree with u but I also understand that it’s not for everyone to b outspoken on social media about things yk.

True but he hasn't changed recently.

@TheMilk Trafficker I think the reason Drake has been the biggest artist over the last 12 years , is not because his music is fantastic, it is just incredibly inoffensive.

You gotta be mentally strong to be as big as Drake. Imagine living as Drake and all the things he have seen. You gotta be some kind of super human to be as big and handle it well. Drake defintly fullfilled his potential. It wouldnt make sense if he had a fake persona all the way through his career, that would be hard.

[@tayamkay]

I dont think there's anything even remotely wrong with the way Drake handles his career. Sometimes, it just doesn't have to be that deep. "Pushing boundaries of artistic expression" and all that yada yada doesn't make a musician. Drake handles music like a job,a fun job,not like a public diary. It works for him, and I personally don't see him "not being artistically authentic" as a problem,because he gets the job done. From my viewpoint, it just doesn't always have to be that deep. More or less shallow music, but thrived throughout decades of the ever changing hip hop genre, and you can always count on some drake in your playlist for a fun time.

[@NoHandlzz]

This is a great perspective. I think Drake and Lebron’s careers run parallel due to the fact that they found out what works for them and what allows them to be consistently successful for over a decade. Sure, a lot of purists don’t appreciate it but one could argue that they set the market value for their respective professions and many artists/athletes wouldn’t be getting the same looks without them.

[@raivane__]

I agree, you are entitled to make make music that is simple to digest. Not everyone has to be Kendrick or Kanye in their aproach to writing music, if everyone did music as an art form would get really boring really fast, the vastness of genres and moods of music is definately one of its strengths. But here's a thing. There's a difference in making light and simple music, but is strong lirycally nad sonically and in making music that is light and simple, but is a throwaway garbage written on a knee 15 min before and sth that noone will remember about in a couple of months. Since IYRTITL, I feel like Drake just figured out that he is on such a level of fame that he can do whatever and it will still hit the top of Billboard 100. And I have a question: how often you come back to his older projects and mixtapes and how often you come back to stuff like Care Package or Dark Lane Demo Tapes?

[@NoHandlzz]

Konrad Pachel I mean Care Package is literally a collection of his old work 😂. You can probably attribute Drake’s recent lack of effort to the fact that he is uninspired. He’s gotten all of the accolades. He’s beefed with everybody. He’s rich as fuck. I saw someone say he’s completed the main story and he’s just doing side missions for fun. I assume his main source of income comes from music sales so he HAS to put something out. Why not just put something that’s fun and catchy out instead of stressing over putting out a critically acclaimed project?

[@raivane__]

@@NoHandlzz Im not saying that he needs to put sth critically acclaimed, i like listening to his recent singles. But albums are a completely different cup of tea and you van have albums that can be catchy and fun AND good

I do think he gets a hard time tho, everyone clowns him & it always seems like he’s trying to prove himself while trying to act like it doesn’t phase him. I also think the whole situation with Pusha T deffo had a effect on him...that track broke him imo. He just needs to find himself because he IS talented but being honest and bearing your soul goes hand in hand with making a good work of art. He should use his next project as therapy and not as a money grab or something to hide behind...

"Some of my blackest friends" He's a certified 🤡 for saying that. That's why his interview needs to be scripted and he needs a ghost writer, no one wants to know what Aubrey is really thinking. And in his mind he's being relatable and authentic. There's no correlation between himself and his brand. Anyone could easily assume his position in the industry someday and you'd have to squint your eyes and scratch your head to really remember much about him as an individual. Degrassi and his secret son will be all we remember about him, maybe his affairs with underage girls. Nothing substantial or great. That's the difference between him and Kanye. There's no competition when it comes to authenticity and artistry between Drake and Kanye. Kanye documented all of his best and darkest moments through his music, fashion and brand. He evolved, he set a few of the trends Drake follows. Even when he's being a total butt cheek, we know that's just Ye being Ye. He's staying true to himself.

[@monchelmitchell]

It's colorism & erasure that he is talking about. Black men love the benefit from the bullying & fetishized of their bodies. But the moment their likeness is challenged that don't like. Then is a problem. This speaks volumes on his beefs with rappers. It speaks volumes of black men and willful ignorance of not wanting to address it. Some goes for the misogyny-noir & toxic masculinity.

[@youngmyth]

@@monchelmitchell what? Did you just say black men love their apparent physicality being the thing they want the world to focus on? The same nonsense that has held so many who want to do something else other sports and entertainment back? You are an effn 🤡 please take therapy class

[@eski_truv]

See this is what you people don’t understand. Black is not merely a color, it is a culture, an attitude, having a common goal for the progression of the people. I can’t speak to what exactly Drake meant, but being a black man, “the blackest” doesn’t just equate to “the darkest”. It could very well mean the most culturally aware, the most unapologetically expressive, the most impactful to one’s community, the most supportive of black people. This is why Terrell Owens infamously told Stephen A Smith, a black man that graduated from an HBCU, that Max Kellerman, a white guy, is blacker than him. Because Terrell felt that Max used his voice to support man than Stephen A did.

[@monchelmitchell]

@@eski_truv being unapologetic black is being comfortable in your skin. Secondly, it's the loving of your culture and constantly seeking of knowledge of your culture. No amount of nappyiness or reciting of quotes from black revolutionaries .will get you closer to blackness than the next man. What does tho is how you inspire the next generation. Drake has done with his success and he gives back generous to black artists. Sadly, he does censors he himself out black Americans conversations. It's speaks volumes of the colorist mindset of black men when elected when to use the very prejudice that they benefit from.

[@youngmyth]

@@eski_truv that’s all well and good but who the hell used that terminology “blackest” in 2021; not to mention someone from a pretty affluent neighbourhood in Toronto. I’m from Toronto, I grew up in the suburbs. I went to high school with kids who know what they are saying they are not ignorant. The province / city has a very good socially conscious education. I’m sorry but saying blackest was so out of taste please don’t justify that nonsense. We don’t need young kids asking themselves what it means to be the blackest regardless of their skin coloir

he isn't a rapper, hes an entertainer. He's in it for the money and doing a good job keeping up. I predicted this shit back in middle school, I always knew he was fake.

If he is an entertainer than he isn’t fake as his whole career is about playing a role in order to entertain fans in exchange for money. That doesn’t make him fake but instead a savvy young businessman.

this was a disspointment all his points about drake are dumb and hes not changing he just using inspired flows to make better art

[@littlehound]

mike media inc. dude change is inevitable. And how did he not provide valid points. It’s expected that he is not as hungry as once was but what about the interview of his dad being in his life. What about the fact that in the beginning of his career he was seen as soft and not thuggish but now he’s all hard. Like his dad said, it’s because it sells. And there’s nothing wrong with using inspirations in your art. Drake ain’t bad bro but like the title said, this is his “best role yet.”

[@codenamedancerx]

You did a tremendous job of really digging down to the core of the disconnect/dissonance of drake -- you have an artist who essentially built his brand on the premise of being vulnerable and not fitting in -- yet his execution of these songs waters that down SO hard that the result is, as you put it, the least vulnerable choice one could make during pregaming, the choice perhaps most guaranteed TO fit in, and ultimately, speaks to nothingness. well done.

[@romaretaylor9953]

Idk id say Drake has had some genuinely vulnerable content in his old shit but recently I…think I understand what your saying? Lol.

[@primo4915]

True, for an artist that makes music about not fitting in, his music is the most generic.
