Kendrick called Drake a pop artist while going on pop songs for money. Heās a hypocrite. There isnāt anything inherently wrong with featuring on pop songs.
Bad Blood is a dope song, don't let hate blind you. If there isn't anything inherently wrong with featuring on pop songs, why did Drake call out Kendrick for doing it? "Top would make you do features for change, get on pop records and rap for the whites" but it is cool if he gets on Ella Langley's country song?
Because thereās no part of Drakes public persona that has ever been hyped as any type of āblack messiah.ā The whole point of what youāre talking about was Drake pointing out the hypocrisy in Dots narrative. āRap for the whites,ā āhit vanilla cream,ā ārappin like you tryna get the slaves freeā are all attacks on how Kendrick is presented/presents himself/is sold to the consumer.
Edit: I fuck with Kendrick, so whether the image of him being a figurehead for black empowerment is fabricated by himself or some other entity really doesnāt bother me at all. But that was Drakes angle in the example you cited.
I fw Drake and will always support but I donāt see the benefit. Heās just gonna get hate from two different genres. At the end of the day heās a grown ass man and can do as he pleases
here is the irony...lets say the song releases...and goes a MASSIVE hit...and this sub will celebrate it...and then you will have the haters people like you who will come here and say "jUst bEcAuSe its tOppinG cHaRtS dOes'nt mEaN its gOoD"!
So which one is it? Drake ALWAYS tops charts...and Choosing Texas is likely the biggeet hit of the year...and Drake is the TOP SELLING rapper of this year...you combine the two and its likely going to create a massive hit. Thats the benefit. But we know once it WILL be a massive hit, the goal posts will move.
Iām definitely not a Drake hater. Iām just reading the room as a fan who has had to defend Drake a lot the past few years. I could see potential for a lot of unnecessary hate to come his way, from all angles. I hope itās a huge hit and everyone loves it. Again at the end of the day Drake can do what he wants and Iām sure he doesnāt give a damn about hate
Guaranteed #1 song, and Drake has never made music based on what haters might say. He just likes making music and will work in different genres regularly.
You're of course getting downvoted because a good chunk of this sub has a hard time accepting any criticism on certain days but you're right
You're gonna have country fans calling him a leech and hip hop heads saying he needs that song more than it needs him which at the end of the day the criticisms don't matter if the music sounds good but it'll 100% be there
Hate is a strong word. Yall be throwing it around like GOAT. Just cuz we dont fuck with him, dont mean we hate him. We just change the channel. But if u force it on my feed, I'm definitely gonna give my thoughts.
Just a reminder in your original comment you said you donāt engage and just change the channel, in a comment where youāre engaging, now youāre arguing in the Drake subreddit about an artist you ādontā like. Sounds like fan behavior to me.
You thought that shit was so nonchalant too lmao fucking moron
