    Ngl Mr morale in retrospect is the ultimate cop out album all his fans will always be like oh well he put out Mr morale! In response to anything critiquing this nigga I wish Drake made an album where he acted like he went to therapy and told everyone he’s not their savior so they can stop critiquing his gambling d*** and s***addiction

    Lol it's a flawed album, we can criticize it too. @Scratchin_Bandit made a great thread on this and broke it down some. Still, dot baring it all is not a cop out cus it's uncomfortable being that vulnerable

    He already released an album of him doing wrong from start to finish

    And they worshipped him even more for it.

  • thegreatdivine

    Niggas damn near treat Kendrick like a Christ-like figure. Especially since this battle happened. It's f***ing weird but hey. He can't do any wrong in their eyes.

    Too worried about the sales for Mr. Morale you forgot to listen to the album

    You worship and defend Drake for literally anything, such as kissing and groping a minor on stage

    who embraced his black side and spent his life on black rights and calling out injustices, working in black communities. He broke barriers as a black man at every step of the way and made sure the world knew it was a black man doing it. He dedicated his early life after college (where he was the first black president of Harvard Law Review) to voter registration in black communities. Constantly spoke out against apartheid. This is before he turned 30.

    Bro we know you are f***ed in the head when we comparing Obama to Drake. Get help please. You letting stanning of gambling addict spew any bullshit.

    Are you implying Drake didn’t embrace his black side? Lmao.

    He’s idolized black figures his whole life and specifically embraced black music from the get go.

    Yeah he’s not a political activist but you’d have to be insanely dumb to claim someone doesn’t embrace their blackness unless they are a political activist.

    reputation is important. someone who constantly does thoughtless f*** s*** in public won’t be embraced as openly as someone who DOES NOT ENGAGE IN SUCH BEHAVIOR

    obviously ppl engage w/ kendrick differently because he’s smarter than drake. why does this need to be said

    More cope. Kendrick has said and done a lot of thoughtless s***. From defending a pedophile and domestic abuser while calling Drake out for being a pedophile to defending XXXTentacion, a man who knowingly abused his partner multiple times and did a lot of other crazy s*** to supporting R. Kelly to saying s*** like "how can we as black people expect them (white people) to respect us when we don't respect ourselves?"

    None of it matters because y'all have always viewed him as rap's messiah, years before social media popped off.

    As a huge Drake fan thinking all biracial people are a monolith is such a juvenile take and it’s also why they don’t understand why Drake gets more flack than someone like Cole even tho both have white moms

  • thegreatdivine

    It's hilarious that some people still use things like Drake's nationality (being Canadian) and his religion (being Jewish) as things that directly tie him to whiteness. It's almost like they don't know that there are Black Canadians and Black Jewish people.

    Anything to invalidate Drake's blackness, I guess.

    Drake’s only Jewish because of his white Jewish family

    it's uncomfortable being that vulnerable

    I'd disagree, more about the context. Submitting to your faith is usually a cause that brings a person closer to their relationship with their higher power and with that you get testimony. Uncomfortability, wouldn't be the feeling I'd use because anyone who lives in their truth knows how freeing it is to walk around without a mask. Sure there maybe things that cause discomfort while speaking your truth, but one thing that's always true is "no pain no gain"

    He also called the way black people from his city speak ignorant

    It was unfortunate code switching. Black people have to sometimes present themselves differently in white spaces in order to be successful/approved.

    He was literally buying Pusha T autographs from EBay during that same age. He was never actually against street culture, Hip-Hop, street slang, etc lmao.

    As a hip hop artist and a black super star it’s your responsibility and duty to constantly make statements through art or actions until equality is achieved.

    Hip hop is built on that and that so the foundation.

    The white people at the table told him they thought their lingo was cool and he went out of his way to say nah it’s ignorant.

    So how is he code switching when he’s going out of his way to go against the majority
