You could just reduce this take to pop culture ≠ culture

Its crazy how yall pick and choose what threads are "bias". So many Nazis and Kendrick stans on here liking this thread.

where are the Nazis liking this thread?

op post

You are just trying to use it as a gotch moment

You’re the one using it as a gotcha moment you f***ing idiot lol.

You started bringing all this s*** up because I said my opinion of Drake fanboys was low or whatever. Then you started trying to virtue signal.

Yeah bro f*** Kendrick fans too if they did the stuff you said idrc and won’t defend it

Vividly remember this

Drake stans have been having to take a real ugly look at themselves in the mirror these last couple weeks.

Some of them on here, genuinely seem like awful people and I think God I don’t actually have to deal with people like them IRL and I’m 100% serious about thag.

Now saying that, people can change. We don’t have to be hateful against others to defend famous people we admire.

We can be upset or happy with whatever things they do, but I think stans (of any artist) should learn they could be happier investing their emotional energy in something that directly and positively affects their own life instead of famous people that only want your money

Drake stand being stubborn and down right delusional

Isn’t worse than the Reddit creepy pasta theories them Kendrick fans doing even before that them putting 8 meaning on a Kendrick line

Both parties are embarrassing

Look man

Y’all some real dweebs making s*** more than what it is. Both great artist and have been for 15 years. Kendrick a talented ass nigga from Compton with high artistic integrity and social consciousness. Drake a highly competitive confident charismatic and talented biracial suburban kid who equally identifies with both black and white sides of his family. Both have given great music to the culture and kept it them. Kendrick kicked his ass. That’s it, nothing deep about it

I think you have a very black and white (no pun intended) assessment of this situation and the Drake fans. You paint them as money watching, without any taste but for the latest catchy song their guru will do.
The appreciation of Drake is absolutely not for the numbers. They are indeed comforting. They mean that he still resonnate with what people want to hear. But this is not the number one reason we are fan of Drake, far from it.

The industry is supposed to be a big machine right?
Didn’t you ask yourself why ZERO official publications, radio host, tv channels…sided with Drake? He is supposed to be their guy. They supposed to use their propaganda for him. But They all, from de get go announced Kendrick as the winner. Is it because of his talent? Maybe, but it cannot be everyone. Rolling Stone, never cared about the culture sided with Kendrick right after Not like us dropped. Elliot Wilson from rapradar put online a version of Meet The Grahams without the daughter mention.
Isn’t it odd to you, that supposed to be objective publications all sided with Kendrick?

The « culture » (the same one Kendrick was vocally against in the Heart part.5) got tired of Drake. Why? Not because he is corny, or he makes catchy songs…Because he’s been number 1 for the last 15 years. And he s bragging about it. And let’s be honest, the quality of his music is not as good as it was. Same thing happened to Hov.

The industry got tired of Drake winning, because like Taylor Swift he’s becoming a monopoly by himself. Nobody makes money out of him except him and his team. He’s doesnt play ball anymore.

So who is k.dot in the middle of that?
He is not the savior. He is just another industry’s TOOL to remind Drake of his place. He had hatred for Drake for the last ten years so he is perfect for that. And I think that when everything will settle, he’ll realize that.

J.Cole was right when he said we wanted blood. We are ready to dance on serious pdf accusations just to see a man down.

So your little explanation was wrong but cute. Don’t get it twisted. It’s not industry vs culture. It’s ego vs ego inside the industry

Also, your a***ysis of culture is incomplete. Funny enough it lacks in the same way the numbers stans a***ysis lacks. You guys need eachother. In the same way you can't make an entirely quantitative a***ysis of culture for an accurate picture of reality, you can't make an entirely qualitative a***ysis either.. assuming you're trying to get closer to the truth.

KTT finally waking up
