That makes no sense because Yachty isn’t a street rapper.

And James Blake isn’t in hip hop so being associated with “street culture” has no benefit to him like it does to Drake

This is a stupid point because everybody code-switches and how has Drake only used his blackness when it benefits him? He IS black. He doesn't have to do anything to prove his blackness. The reason y'all say this rubbish is because he wasn't raised American. Him and Cole both have white mothers and both identity as black but somehow one has more claim to blackness than the other.

The issue is African Americans feeling like they own blackness as an identity globally. Y'all see yourselves as the only legitimate black people, that's why y'all think Canadians can't be black and Jewish people can't be black so when you have someone who has both of those identities, you automatically register that there's no way they can be black, regardless of their actual racial makeup.

At least you know you don't have a point to make.

Is this new? This kinda fire tbh

The point was decided months ago

It's really this simple. If Drake was born in Memphis, no one would question his blackness. They always bring up him being Canadian and Jewish when they wanna question his blackness and that should tell you everything you need to know about how stupid Americans are when it comes to understanding identity in its full scope.

he's biracial, not black.

No, the f***, I didn't.

He identifies as black.

“Man if I was born in Memphis instead I woulda dodged that right hook and won the fight”

Every nigga after losing a fight realizes the moves he should’ve made

Lil Yachty is a very different artist and im sure that Yachty approached James Blake.

I mean, 21 said it himself that Future was always a bigger artist to him than Drake. Drake picks his features very strategically which is not a bad thing btw. It was a give and take relationship. Drake got access to an audience that wouldn't really listen to Drake like that and artists like Future got put on a bigger platform.

Personally, I wouldn't have heard any Drake music after 2018 if he wasnt on Future, Travis, Lil Baby and Young Thug albums. Honestly Nevermind was the first Drake album longer in my rotation in years.

Drake attracted a fan base that for years on here tried to police others people and artists blackness

Now that yall think Drakes card got pulled in front of the world by Kendrick it’s suddenly becomes “all black people aren’t a monolith”

Ebro is online defending kamala Harris as “black” then questioning Drake’s blackness.

yall are lost.

When did Ebro question Drakes blackness

again, what is culture and what is street? Is it a sound or where you were born?

Nigga gets made at Ebro on Twitter then comes on here and pretends we are him

Nigga you’re the one who brought up Yachty and street culture

Folks let Cole rock cuz he’s seemingly been himself from the jump, spoke on black issues etc

Drake doesn’t have to speak on black issues in his music if he doesn’t want to but he def benefits from standing next to street niggas and blending it into his aesthetics when we seen his come up

The fact that he attacks Kendrick for being a fake black power rapper when he himself only referenced our struggles in his diss song towards Meek “Charged Up” and hopped on a pop song with racist ass Camilla Cabello after the beef is going to make some people look at him funny lol

People still thinking Kendrick questioned drakes blackness 3 months after the beef

he’s a dual citizen

I agree that its a US vs Canada thing. Personally, for me "Not Like Us" meant that "Other regions are not like the west coast" but in the end it could be another quintuple entendre

Why do niggas keep bringing up
Ebro as if he speaks for everybody lmao I’ve seen Ebro roasted on here plenty of times

He should’ve put that in the heart part 6

Lmaoooo istg he thinks we go to Ebro for our opinions or something

I wouldn’t know those tweets existed if he didn’t post them

Yeah it is
