let’s argue twin
No ❤️
also if we're keeping it real most people don't even think about what a #free___ even means. it's 9/10 attached to an entertainer and what people really want is that person to be available to entertain them. the real difference here is that no one gives a f*** about tory's music anymore. all that people think of him as is the guy who shot meg which is why tory lanez support catches more attention
Not what I said but go off
This same guy admits in the article that others have supported Tory. But I don’t think they got hit pieces.
Not his first hit piece about Drake in regards to the Tory stuff.

Also during Her Loss after Circo Loco, he made an article about leaving misogyny in hip hop hip behind and had Drake, Future and Tory in the graphic. Now Future has LONG since made misogyny his brand. So where was his hit piece? You’d think the main guy would warrant one.
This comes off as as if they have topics they could have been wrote about but just save it until they have an excuse to put Drake in it for the maximum visibility.
If you’re going to be a fan of hip hop and especially a journalist of it, where saying #FreeWhoever has always been around then you can’t be selective about who it’s OK to write about and WHAT it’s ok to support (We can say FreeThugger and FreeMaxB and FreeTayK or FreeMelly all we want but you say Free Tory and you might as well have shot Meg yourself)
My argument to this would be …… you don’t have to make this stance if you’re Drake. Especially when you consider his fractured/terrible relationship with ROLLING STONE. You are one of the top 10 biggest artist in the world currently of course everything that you do is going to be a topic or a conversation or a trend.. Hell him saying, Anita Max, when turned into a crypto coin, people are actually making money off of this random meme.
You don’t think the artist that people have been critical of in the past whether from people who occupy his genre or outside of the genre of questioned his intent, not to speak on social issues, is outwardly as his peers, Isn’t an easy target for this type of article?
TDLR:
He could’ve just not posted on Instagram
Can’t say this ain’t warranted, Drake been acting like a lame for a while now
KTTMZ type article
approved
Eh bigger problems going on who really cares, Tory is in jail and that’s that
Not into this “we have to hold celebrities accountable” mentality over an opinion they hold
Okay drake thinks Tory is innocent, now what?
Now we get him because he dissed our website 8 years ago and we rally the Twitter users who go from one rage bait article to the next to help us cancel him!!!
Nah but seriously there's no plan after this. Just another article to get people mad and make some ad revenue. Rolling Stone isn't even trying to hold him accountable for anything they're just mad he never got down on his knees for them back in the day

I know what I wrote g, and you not finna twist my words.

Two things can be true
Chris brown and meek don’t move the needle like Drake and he brings natural traction to a publication house.
&
You can still be critical of the fact they were still mentioned in the article. It’s not like the author absolved them
Can’t say this ain’t warranted, Drake been acting like a lame for a while now
He made being a douchebag cool again tbh.(and im not saying that as a good thing)

Yup that’s all this is, engagement bait to have people talking for a couple days and forgotten. This is all media is 90% of the time at this point

Why should he not say free his man if thats how he feels.
The author literally says this about "free xyz" statements.
"it can be a complicated admission that even if we know someone did wrong, we understand that systemic inequality can encourage bad choices from good people, essentially creating a long-looping form of entrapment."
That right there made the whole article hypocritical
Drake read all those "Drake the type" memes and was so hurt he decided to become a full on Andrew Tate acolyte. He's so pathetic

To follow up on this:
Yes, several people particularly black women who occupied his fan base have definitely kept receipts for the Circo Loco line and his off hand comments for It was all a blur tour. But for the public as a whole It’s been out of sight out of mind topic. If you’re so conscious of your brand Why even reinvigorate the conversation?

This is a good point but it also ties in to the end of my post where I mention how supporting certain artists is OK.
For example Thug is literally on wire tap encouraging murders and Drake has still been one of his biggest supporters. Like his support for Thug is more overt than his support for Tory.

Did he?

And that’s completely fair. I think there is something to say about how we consume hip-hop, especially white audience members and its relationship with violence. I think people are more willing to align or support themselves with alleged murders Because they believe it it’s an authenticity about it.
Nobody wants to support a rapist, a sexual assault, or somebody that abuses women
I just thought hit piece was a generally term about an article that goes after a specific person
It's a hit piece since he didn't even mention them at all this is an unprovoked attack
I guess if you want to be specific you can say it's a takedown attempt or rundown whatever but it comes off more as a manifesto
An essay written overnight (or even a template ready to go) is definitely a "hit" but there's not much ammo here since again it's based on his post from yesterday and 1 line in a song... I'd call it filler on a slow news day

The freedom of speech is not the freedom of consequence.
He can do whatever the f*** he wants Doesn’t mean that he won’t have to answer for it.
People on Twitter are already digging up his past currently.
Also to the quote you included, systemic inequality Has never been an excuse to put your hands on women. It’s a bunch of people I know that didn’t have many options in life but they ain’t do that s***
With the help of Future, yeah lol
Oh yeah I see what u mean now, future mention made it clear

Systematic equality aint an excuse to shoot niggas and sell dope either wym
I personally dont give a s*** Drake said free Tory. I dont give a s*** that he said Free Thugger.
I think you should reflect on why you feel one is not okay and one is.
