For everyone wondering about "political bars" the Drake and 21 cover is just a special edition of what already dropped this month.
So no article on the album ?
My bro @Vietbrah really famous out here
saw his name get mentioned in an instagram post

This is fake news btw, I never said this. I just asked this thread if they’d want a 3k feature on this lol

Wait lol is this real? So there's no Drake & 21 content in the edition at all and they just say 'X is NOT holding back' for magazine clickbait when it has no meaning or context?
So no article on the album ?
if no article this is trash
we need some semblance of an interview
And also an intentionally misleading quote is on every version, right next to someone's name and picture, but that quote isn't actually from the person?? Wtf this seems sloppy as hell

That is so f***ing weird though lol how does that even make sense, they literally attribute it to 21
this is the only thing that's going to get me through this week at my bullshit soul crushing job
do they mean political like personally or like actual politics
hilarious if they mean it like social commentary. When compared to the people who had his spot before him Drake literally drained all the political content out of mainstream hip hop lol
I always thought it was part of his popularity, he has the content of a normal popstar compared to Jay, Ye, Pac etc. Even Wayne made Georgia Bush and would always have the odd line
Yeah drake has set the record for least political rapper ever for sure. He has like 3 lines in a massive catalogue that even remotely touch on that sphere
Guess its partly him not being American though? Not that Canadians can’t be political but hip hop and the politics it dealt with was always such an American thing

"president doing us in"
genuinely can't remember any others lol
I think that might be part of it. if he started rapping about Canadian politics a large part of his target demo would switch off. it's helpful to internationally known American rappers that a lot of the rest of the world know who their politicians are.
That being said he spends a lot of time in the states, working with Americans. One of the most iconic 70s Canadian artists was Neil Young. He ended up writing some of the GOAT political anthems like Ohio while having hit albums that made him a global star in the US, UK etc. Ohio was actually about American politics too, but obviously his proximity to American people, culture and politics must have inspired him to write those songs.

Cops are killin people with they arms up
And your main focus is tryna harm us
The couple lines on 6Pm in NY
I think y’all are putting way too much stock into that quote on the cover
Jennifer Lawrence also has a cover this month and it says the same exact thing with the quote attributed to her

"You tell them I run the country, they'll say 'True though.'" Pronounced like "Trudeau"
"Tryna run a country like Putin one day, but who's rushin' "
"Not a politician but I bet I pass a bill"

I'd forgotten that one. But yeah like the other poster said it's three lines in a long career at the top of hip hop
I'm not saying that's wrong btw, it's just interesting when you compare it to older artists in a similar position to him. They'd always have a lot of lyrics around either politics and social commentary or the streets or a mix of both
in some ways it might be one of the most influential things about Drake. Because I don't think young artists even think about whether they should include bars like that. It's not a dividing line, pressure or a thing anymore for better or worse

Lol I like the Trudeau line but that's not a political line. it's just a pun on a famous name. Maybe the last one at a push
