Drake makes music to be played at functions or in the whip which is perfectly fine.
If he doesnt wanna speak on it then he doesnt have to. Him being black doesn't mean his automatically obligated to speak on the state of affairs.
Yall acting like a Drake floyd bar is gonna suddenly get white people to start liking us
Yeah so people can call him fake and say he's doing it to pander and say he has no clue what its like to be black in america. With the amount of s*** hes accomplished in his career they are never celebrated as black achievements for some reason
Yeah let me do the toosie roll in my mansion while the people who buy your music getting wrongfully kicked out of they homes and dying
Gal gadot headass
People only care about artists speaking up on social issues when it’s in the public eye but have an artist bring up some social issues on their own and they get labeled corny and pretentious
if i named names i'd get muted for 5 days again.
Say the names.
For the culture
So, if this person deserves scrutiny for his actions.
What are we supposed to do about Kanye West and Lil Wayne?
Great artists but are we really gonna act like their coonish statements didn't have just as much of a negative impact as not being outspoken enough?
Ya'll gotta keep that same energy and not just on rappers you don't like.
When wayne was the biggest rapper he def addressed black struggle. The same with Ye lol
bro when black people cry out it falls on deaf ears
people literally want woke music .....TO DANCE TO
like what is gonna change after 3 mins of a woke track?
Uhh who says it has to change anything lol thats where your own issue comes from.
Who says the music has to effect anyone outside of the demo its meant for?
The music is for those its intended for, & to relate to those people. The audience likes to know that someone "bigger" than them feels their issues no matter how trivial or big it is. Plus its just nice to hear someone else reflect, relate or speak on something you are also going through or similarly going through.
Also, being fake happy is worst than being genuinely angry/sad imo.
Whoever this yakubian is, she’s very cute
dont bother reverse searching she 33 now
I'm a white man named chet and I thought Floyd got what he deserved..... until I heard a bar from Aubrey "Drake" Graham and now I changed my mind
WAKE UP CULTURE!
He ain't take his pills that morning lol. Wtf did I just watch

Doesn’t matter.
We needed to hear about vaccinations and police brutality on Way 2 Sexy! 😡😡😡
The same people pretending to care about this never cared when Jay Z didnt do it, 50 cent, and are the same people reminding every1 drake is half jewish.
Drake doesn't need to speak out on something in his music the same way kanye doesn't need to pretend to be pro-black anymore
We gonna talk about how people try to dismiss Drake being a black man in the first place?
Yall wont listen to Billy Woods, Brownsville Ka, Mach Hommy, Navy Blue, Mavi, Blu, MIKE, or none of them but yall suddenly turn into social butterflies when Drake is quiet goofy ass niggas
We gonna talk about how people try to dismiss Drake being a black man in the first place?
This is pure facts.
Most people dont think music is going to change the world lol thats not the point of wanting "substance" music.
But people do want some kind of music to an extent to reflect reality of situations or at least emotions.
Its part of the reason "violent" Rap is so popular, even in places that isnt part of the demo. To express n relate to anger.
It is an angry time right now.
Boston is a terrible piece of s*** city. But to act like Roxbury don't exist really exposing y'all don't be knowing s***.
I know we're not suppose to look at mainstream rap artist/albums for conscious lyrics. 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. How can you call yourself the leader of the culture when you're not even speaking up or standing for anything within the culture. Even eminem spoke up for blacks more than this guy did and he got killed for it.
who are you even talking about, how you sneak dissing on a forum
We gonna talk about how people try to dismiss Drake being a black man in the first place?
I dismiss his association with african american culture
When wayne was the biggest rapper he def addressed black struggle. The same with Ye lol
You're switching it up though. They were still relevant and active when they made those statements.
If rappers deserve scrutiny for not rapping about it enough, they should also get it for sellout comments in the limelight.
People only care about artists speaking up on social issues when it’s in the public eye but have an artist bring up some social issues on their own and they get labeled corny and pretentious
nah when you the biggest you gotta speak on it. even if it just 1 line.
IF YALL CARED AS MUCH AS YOU SAY YOU DO THIS SONG WOULD HAVE OVER A MILLION VIEWS
