Smacked VoodooI'm sure he can identify with racial injustice, police brutality, and discrimination from the perspective of a black Jew from Canada. That stuff does happen in Canada, and I'm sure he can find way to incorporate those experiences in Canada with his experiences in the US.
All in all he isn't required to be sociopolitical, it's just always been odd to me because like I said, the man has a massive platform. I doubt he'd take any serious loss if he were to just speak up more, if anything it'd only make him look better. The man is 33 still rapping/singing about high school level romances when we know he is capable of something more mature and harder hitting.
It's not a requirement to incorporate politics in your music. Though as a hip-hop artist at the top of their game...and the game in general. I feel like they should be eager to do so as hip-hop was a genre/culture created to act as a counter-culture and rebel against the powers that be, that's a topic for another thread.
I def feel what you saying for sure. Def want more maturity from the boy and I'm hoping we see that. I'm just saying I don't expect him to have the same sense of urgency when it comes to Sociopolitical issues US stars speak on like Kendrick or Cole because he ain't from here. He certainly CAN speak on it tho because he spends enough time here. It also would be interesting to hear his take on the Black Canadian experience but that would be a sharp turn content wise and I don't think he ready for it. If Drake did give us We Are The World level content tho the impact would probably be astronomical

I'm hoping that on his next album he gives a bit more because he's been at the point in his career where he can really say or do whatever tf and not worry about the blow back. Like get creative with the s*** I think it'd be pretty cool and I feel like his fanbase would appreciate it. Most of his haters would definitely respect it I feel. If ASAP Rocky can get into his sociopolitical bag with Testing I don't see what's stopping Drake from dropping a lil "Fuck Trump" every now and then on the album

DonutHoleI don't remember any biggie song being political so that's right but keep in mind he passed away at 24 with 2 albums (of course you have tupac who passed away at 25 but tupac was raised by a black panther...)
MJ had
- a controversial dance intro for the black and white music video (the black panther dance) in which he smashes a "kkk rules" tag on a window and references the black panther party
(+ the lyrics of the song black and white)
- they don't really care about us (just look up the lyrics)
- we are the world (he co wrote it)
- The fact he put only black people in his remember the time music video (about ancient Egypt) was also astonishing for a major artist like that
That's just of the top
The mj argument falls flat...
So you give MJ credit for subtle references on two maybe three songs but dismiss Drake’s references to police brutality, black men struggles, dealing with an absent black father in jail and f*** Trump???
- Oct 20, 2020·1 replyNicknault
I can agree to disagree with most of you guys here.
It just stands to me that regardless of him being jewish biracial or in an affluent neighborhood hes still
- Black
- Capitalizes off of Non - Biracial BLACK American artists for Features
- Needs the image of black approval for white audiences. Lets be clear, if Drake did not connect to the black audience even in the slightest he would have flopped. Thats how it works here in America, black people really do determine your relevance in entertainment.
- Has a Black American Father
- Tried to FRONT like he had single parent issues with an absent father when his father said that was a LIE
- Copies every carrbiean/afro accent/dialect and vibe. But has yet to tap into his own VIBE of being black and jewish. Very Odd, and he won’t be able to keep that up much longer.
I think people are getting to the point where they know that Drake is going to hone in on himself for another album and i dont think people want that with everything going on. I do think people want to relate to whatever is on this album, but he will flatline if he thinks hes going to ignore everything in 2020 for another album about his achievements and success.
When some of you on here try so hard to push away drakes need to be more introspective about his blackness, his own culture and who he really is/his own issues, it just shows me and other black people that alot of yall on here are just racist white boys who listen to drake to be cool and say the n word lol. I swear white americans specifically love playing around with cultures/tourisim and whitewashing black people as much as possible. Just the fact that most of yall on here openly disrespect Kanye over Drake for no reason is evidence of that. If Drake never popped yall would still be ye fans who couldnt say that to your racist white Parents. Now you got drake and he can be more appropriate to talk about in the house. I digress lol.
The fact that you are a Ye Stan after he disrespected Harriet Tubman and our ancestors says YOU are the C***here not Drake fans
- Oct 20, 2020
Lu The RulerI used to feel this way about Drake and artists in general.
I get it. Drake tries to come off as being his 'true self' in his music, but that isn't the case. He's only showing you what he wants us to see. And in some cases exaggerating or straight up lying about stuff.
But it's just music and entertainment at the end of the day. It's not real life like we want it to be. The sooner we accept this the sooner you'll be less pressed about what Drake does and how he carries himself etc.
Yall sound like high school kids talking about the popular kids when you type s*** up like this talking about what he did during lock down and his child's hair, like seriously? Why the f*** do you care?
Just enjoy the music for what it is. Stop acting like it's a simulation of real life.
What has Drake lied about?
- Oct 20, 2020oppyeahyouknowme
love this take and totally agree with you for the most part, unfortunately this is rap, and its what he wanted to be apart of ever since Wayne took him under.
You can't be a rapper and pillow talk straight lies, carry yourself like a weakling, and expect respect.
This is the same guy that most of you on here compare or even say he surpassed Ye, Diddy, Jay. So how can you say that exaggerating and straight up lying in his lyrics makes him surpass 3 men who put it all out there in his lyrics.
ON TOP OF THAT the ghostwriter Quentin Miller just got a feature on T.I. or some recent popular artists album. So how much is Drake really respected? Especially when his admitted Ghostwriter still out in the open securing bags?
You must be young AF.
Jay used to be disrespected by every rapper out for being two faced in the 90s and late 2000s. He was not respected for his handling of Beanie Siegel and Freeway, for Dame, for leaving his Roc A Fella artists to starve, He has been attacked for being a corporate sellout because the Barney’s s*** and the Super Bowl. The list goes on.
Diddy?? F***in Diddy? Gets “exposed” for hiding a gay lifestyle everyday by his peers. Go ask Cam’ron. Diddy? Not respected for how he handled Shine taking the heat for him, for how he handled Mase, Loon, Still gets accused for setting up 2pac and using his Big’s death to line his own pockets. You can’t possibly be black and not know this s***.
And then Ye. Where do we even start?? All this bullshit he saying about black men need to stick together but he cheating Big Sean out of his royalties?? How did he do half his artists on Good Music? How he do Virgil and Don ?? How he turned his back on Chicago and don’t give two s***s about his foundation. We won’t even get into how he shuckin and jivin and selling our his community, disrespecting our ancestors for Trump to give him what? A photo op at the WH??
And you think all of these people deserve more respect than Drake - who ain’t even did half the s*** they’ve done? I feel sorry for you

Let’s be clear. COLE does the work. DRAKE does the work. Not Kendrick.
- Oct 20, 2020Roundstone
Considering we have seen racist Fox News hosts shame Kendrick to big up Drake for being a good little boy and not criticizing white people and Drake did nothing to stand up for the genre speaks volumes to the lack of integrity he has for the genre. Its funny that the only real time he brought up BLM and black issues was when it became clear that staying silent on those issues would be detrimental to one's career at that point.

This is whole LIE. Drake produced a whole film on police brutality and was attacked by Canadian right wing media for it.

Also:
Later, Sway asked whether Rivera had heard any of Kendrick’s music beyond DAMN. “I’ve listened to everything,” the FOX contributor responded. “I’m more of a Drake man. I think he’s got a great balance. He’s got the edge, the urban edge that makes it really sharp. But he also understands that this is a big crazy world, and I think that his message is generally positive.”

Nigga how did you arrive to that conclusion about them bigging up Drake for not saying anything
It literally says “and goes on to compliment Lamar’s talent, and says that “aside from Drake, in my opinion, he’s probably the best hip-hop artist out there today.” - Oct 20, 2020tru
