all the school kids are so sick of books and learning
they don't reeeaaaaaad anymore
they don't even reeaaaaadd anymore

and all the cops are still hanging out at the donut shops
talking about how the weather's changing
the ice is melting as if the world is ending

If drake can rap about being a mob boss he can rap about anything

Idk man. I feel like black art deserves a break from being about trauma/informative. I feel like other parts of black culture like what brings us joy, what problems outside of race specific ones do we face, and the lesser known parts of our history should take importance in our music, movies, and shows. We already live through this stuff, our pain shouldn’t be the only thing we’re ever rewarded to talk about, especially when it’s not our responsibility to fix it.

"But after all the s*** that happened in this country last year, i would expect the biggest rap album of the year to have at least one lyric mentioning or addressing what occurred."

Good for you, i didnt ask. I am as well which doesnt mean anything.

Yeah, that rap does exist, & as i said "just that he wants a more prominet voice talking or related to ANY issue."

I dont see how having a song revolved around issues suchas slavery, n especially police brutality which is till a really real issue, is an issue.

These things you mention do exist, but there is still a lot of pain & wrong doing going on lol.

I never said an artist should be forced to sing about issues nor if their catalog doesnt involve any, then theyre pretending.

I said only wanting "fun" music and thinking "substance" music is old hat is what is prentending everything is all good happy, which it isnt.

Quadra do have a point about specific posters lol. No1 cares what a suburban black person has to say about racial issues because their experiences are insiginificant in comparison to someone growing up in the projects. a Gambino or Drake type wouldn't have an impact on conscious rap even if it was quality. Yall would know this, if well you know...

Drake is a competent storyteller. Actually a pretty good storyteller. The fact that he hasn't incorporated socially conscious lyrics into his music is pretty disappointing. Especially knowing the bad s*** that goes on in some of the hoods in Toronto.

Despite Drake spending most of his career repping Toronto I can't say I ever came out of a Drake album knowing anything about Toronto. Besides that Drake comes from Toronto.

What would this do? Why do you want to hear drake talk about social issues?

Explains why a lot of Drake stans are lowkey racist and are red pill type

Easier for them to listen to Drake since he doesn’t touch on that matter
