I hate this take. “Oh well he is pop” “People wpuld call it corny”
So that’s supposed to stop him sending his message out? We know it’s reach millions.
Look at how he ethered Meek. Drake can be direct and powerful with his words
Hes pop, bro. What u want?. U really want lady gaga talkin as if she know bout the struggle of being part of a racial minority?.
They aint know but they still doin somethin by coughin up money to finance s***. Thats as important as speaking up, money moves the world whether u like it or not.
Real s*** though. Drake stans love to bring up his success on the charts in Michael Jackson discussions, but at least MJ had protest songs and was often outspoken on issues regarding injustice
Mj grew up as a black male in usa tho.

Exactly. Michael is the king of pop and he had songs about social injustice but drake is too poppy for it too?
white people turning black suffering into a stan war on artists that don’t know u exist

Dam. Drake did have that line in Charged Up tho and Toosie Slide was played at a protest so it’s gotta be considered
Look yourself at mirror and ask a question bro is toosie slide a protest song?
it’s not but you deadass said “the biggest rapper of our generation isn’t being played in the streets” my response was literally an answer to that
He doesn’t have the range, but there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not really his lane anyway.

I’m saying if he could use his platform it would be nice. I’m not condemning him lol. And cmon on you know you’re a fool for comparing Drake and Lady Gaga in this instance
Well rappers before him had to face worse criticism than that. And I just remembered he called out Kendrick subliminally by saying something like "I will have more fans if I did conscious s***" all he did later was bubblegum rap 'Gods Plan'
You can't say things that you can't backup specially in this genre
lol tell that last bit to every rapper taking about "wet up ya crib" or "just copped a lamborghini truck"
I'm not white but keep complaining bro , whatever helps you😊
well ur a spicy c***whatever u are you clearly aren’t black and u are more concerned with using what’s going on to benefit some war
don’t speak on the streets

Whenever posters pull out the “I’m not white” instead of I’m black you know somethings up
yall would call him corny or say he can't relate/shouldn't speak on it
no, I'd rather he go conscious than make calculated viral songs for clicks. since he loves copying styles, why not give conscious rap a try?
He doesnt need a protest song they bumping toosie slide at the protests
cops will hurt you if u slide to the left
Whenever posters pull out the “I’m not white” instead of I’m black you know somethings up
right lmao
ok you not white but you clearly got some white tendencies so i know you not black
Why would anyone want to hear a biracial canadian jew from a middle class upbringing rap about social issues he didn’t experience to begin with ?
Let’s be real he’d get more hate if anything
so why does he make mafioso mob music if that's not his upbringing?
Alright y'all too worried about skin color , inever called anyone c word or n word. Check my history. Lock thread 😊

what does him being pop have to do with it? why limit protest music to rap genre only? anyone can do protest songs
