    I’m so tired of this painting nails s***. Who has ever looked at a woman’s nails and said “oh s***, that’s 🔥I NEED THAT”

    Considering Yachty is 11 years younger, yeah. It’s cool to take inspiration from the youth in spots, had Yachty help work on Her Loss and they’re good friends, cool. But it seems like Yachty’s influence on him is becoming a bit much

    It’s kinda overall though. Music wise, to me he was making the most mature music of his life from Take Care to IYRTITL you can just hear it in the music

    Image wise I believe he was more mature in the past too. Around 2018-2019 he seemed the most mature in the way he chose aesthetics and image
    For example:


    But something shifted to where he changed and started doing anything like what it is now

    And before anyone gets pissed off, this is not to say he shouldn’t be allowed to have fun or do what he wants. I’m pointing out that it seems like he cared to uphold a sort of “standard” of his image in the past and now he just doesn’t care anymore

    As a stan I do wish he went to a more “matured” image as he’s getting older and not feel like it’s the other way around though

    It is what it is though, regardless he’s cemented as my GOAT

    take the silly pill & goofymaxx your life my brotha

    Supposed to lead hip hop? Like he hasn’t already done it? Were you living under a rock this past decade?

    The greats have always been at the top until someone came for their head. Recently Jay, 50,Kanye,Wayne and The Boy but If someone who doesn't listen to Rap told me to pull up some new music; i'm not putting them onto Drake. Ran it for a decent amount of time but s*** is a joke now.

    You'd have to explain the production part, and how all of that other stuff would even effect me as a listener. The music has been good and that Yachty interview was hilarious, so what has specifically happened recently that makes you upset.

    Come on bruh. Yatchy been doing cringy ish.

    Y’all just reach for this now because he barely even mentioned his nails or said anything about him being gay for that

    But since painting nails is typically seen as feminine and you know it you instantly try to use homophobia as the defense against any and everything said about him lol

    facts this aint about nails. yatchy is a cornball and is always around. In every interview he talks about drake now he selling pizza Drake ate? this not weird to yall?

    Yachty making a joke?

    This doesn't change how I feel about Drake at all, lmao. Why is this an issue.

  • ^Ya it’s not an issue and as for the nail polish … Yachty has a unisex nail polish brand so I’m assuming Drake was just looking out for his brother and quite literally putting on his brand. Sure he’s catching lots of flack but in drakes own words “the 72hour rule” this too will pass. Nba Youngboy wore nail polish and it didn’t change much of peoples perspective about him. Let’s just focus on how incredible drakes music is and how much his artistry is evolving…

    His new style direction reflects his personality much better than that boring old s***

    I have to agree with this as well. I’d argue he was trying to find himself more in his early years of his career more than he is now. A lot of different styles he’s tried to dabble in but he’s never truly been that conventional hip hop guy whether it’s upbringing, appearance, or whatever. Idc man I’m less invested in his personal life these days as I once was before but if he’s happy and gonna continue to feed us music I enjoy I’m happy for him

    i feel you on the mature image, the fits he was wearing around Scorpion era, More Life, Views etc felt more fitting for where I feel like Drake is

    not saying he doesn't dress cool now, i guess it's a result of how I see Drake as a Boss 24/7 not a regular dude

    But simultaneously I think his new style and manner of carrying himself is fitting because he's the biggest artist in music, he's too successful and frankly too rich to move differently because people will judge him. There are very few corporations willing to burn a bridge with Drake at this point, man is getting as much bread from Nike as Lebron James...
    on top of that, his relationship with Universal seemingly comes with an "unlimited" budget according to Lucien Grainge. Drake doesn't need to fake the funk for anybody, and if that means wearing a jacket with a d*** joke on it, who are we to complain about it?

    Hell no. I love Yachty and seeing Drake cosign him is a fever dream because I've always thought he was underrated and deserved more recognition
    Drake is even more real for being the one to show love. If anything Her Loss should've been a collab with him

    I love his fashion and aesthetics but I know you have to have a certain taste so if it's not for you I see how you could hate this era but since you're asking I got to be honest I love it and hope he sticks around

    Drake's braids were a step in the right direction tbh, makes him look more free / bohemian

    Nah, you’re 100% right. His image is slipping, quality of music slipping…bro need to tighten up.

    Because it’s blatantly some s*** to appeal to certain demographics whether that demographic means the youth or people who wanna give out Nobel Peace Prizes for gender fluidity type s***. There’s nothing inherently wrong with gender fluidity (you still gon get these jokes tho Nigga) buT @op not allowed to be tired of Yachtys influence on him? Lol Yachty quite literally has a nail polish line which is probably how this happened

    I just think it’s cop out s*** jumping straight to homophobia like we just can’t think it’s lame for various other reasons with any feminine aspect of it being close to the bottom of that list lol. Hov wasn’t doing lean wit it rock wit it and wearing SpongeBob book bags when he was drakes age lol. Blatantly tryna rebrand to appeal to younger ppl/people like you who think a nigga brave for doing traditionally girly things

    I agree. I feel similarly, albeit more strongly about Harry Styles (Freddie Mercury cosplay is tired, no originality, and he's competing with Sam Smith for the worst dressed in pop music).

    I'm pro-love and pro-minding mine, certain things just end up feeling forced. Drake's forever one of them ones and I don't really care, it is a tad bit cringe tho.

    I actually hope Yachty and Drake work more, I like how active they've been and the music is solid. I've given up on another TC, NWTS, or IYRT tier work but I think Drake is still more than capable of cooking up something great. That $500Ms energized him.

    lol exactly

    he moved with a finesse that kinda disappeared as he gets close to and beyond that “retiring at 35” age that seems like he going out his way tryna appeal to younger people when he don’t gotta do that just yet lol

    I peeped it with the face tat and the gun fingers in 21 video and then the way he was talking on some of those records. Of course he don’t need my advice or opinion on how to move but its interesting that happened

    Drake dropped Scorpion wearing suits and button ups with a tapered fade. He dropped Her Loss with braids and baggy clothing. He needs to keep wearing the bullshit lmao
