Hotline bling was the first music video to debut on Apple Music.
He was the first artist exclusively signed by them (shout out Keef if you know you know)
But I’m pretty sure the short answer is he was never going to get the equity he was looking to get
Drake was pretty much the main marketing point for Apple Music for its first 2 years or so it’s crazy to look back on
Hip Hop in general but mostly Drake
Larry Jackson wisened up. Sexyy Red and 4batz are on his new venture. You know how that goes lol

He legitimized them as a music platform and by proxy as a distributor/label
Drake thought because hes a half white jew that he had a chance at being with the higher ups. Hip hop never accepted him as a black man and the big corporations will always just see the drakes and Kanye's as just workers

really f***ing crazy reading this back
Tim Cook showing up to present this achievement to Drake for him to sign it to him is crazy

Everyone thinks that they can game the system because Everyone believes that they’re different
Arguably when it comes to breaking and finessing the corporate model rih hov and ye are the blueprint tho
Rih opted out
Ye broke the deal
Jay became the deal
Different paths same outcome
BTW i miss when Drake rapped like this
the main criticism of drake “rappity rap” tracks i see is that he raps too similar still
Larry Jackson wisened up. Sexyy Red and 4batz are on his new venture. You know how that goes lol
But he also has his hands in commercials/ other ventures outside of the signed artists’ music. It’s not a label
drake is a great guy hated by a toxic culture and vultures.. the people see through it tho
