I think him being a child actor and racially ambiguous made it easier to market and possibly helped him make those connections easier.

I don’t think it’s some conspiracy like you say, it’s just industry politics and racial/ethnic biases + class all come into play like in other spaces

Facts

they trying too hard

Taylor albums never happen for me

Yea this leaking might ruin their plans

this is worse than j prince

drake... stay out of rap beefs, brother

Top 3 of this whole exchange

is it the whole city splits/birdman bar?

Drake was instrumental in the poppification of rap and bringing it from rap fans to being marketable to the masses. He was a deliberate choice but also I do think he was talented enough and did have the vision for true pop rap (for better or worse)

Nigga talking like Dot don’t be kicking it with his brother probably

He meant the audience as in the rest of us

Drake stans opinions don’t matter bc they’ll never waver

Yikessss

This account embarrasses me to even play Drake music

King kendrick for the people

Christ

"I think Drizzy Drake likes em young"

IT'S OV-OVER

Drake and kendrick need to box at this point

nah that’s OVO XO s*** probably

I think Drake and Weeknd have more animosity towards each other than Drake and Kendrick

Why do you think he left round 1?

As a song it slaps but it was basically Push Ups part 2 as a diss

Not the nuke on Kendrick we were expecting, and thats if you take away MTG

first thing i thought of

whos this?

Man... nothing like this has happened before right? One of the biggest acts of the industry being taken out in real time in his prime

The last third of family matters never gonna deny Kendrick won but that was classic Drizzy, the last classic Drizzy we’ll ever get I fear
