I thought this, but that makes no sense.
many things don’t make sense right now. I mean he could have made tens of millions off of that recording footage in the future and he just leaked it. This was a conscious decision with untold circumstances and its no like Drake is ever gonna explain his real reasons for doing it. He’s been burned by so man people he doesn’t even have a media outlet at the moment.
For instance, I’ve long thought Jay-Z was the one who is trying to tank Drake. He sent Meek at Drake. Then Kanye orchestrated the Pusha T attack. Now you can’t tell me higher ups didn’t know kendrick was about to make his move. Mos Def apparently alluded to it kendrick’s moves in a song a right before kendrick dropped…
Theres some weird games being played and I think Drake is still on the back foot because he’s fighting even traditional media spheres holding him to both music and character double standards while treating him as some outsider.
Its a weird space because for instance…Drake is literally more “black” than Kamala Harris or even Kendrick’s wife, but we’re doing this weird goalpost moving of what “culture” is and who counts as being apart of this ambiguous definition of “blackness” but then when you bring this up people gaslight you by saying you dont know what kendrick meant by saying drake “isnt like us”.
It’s a game and the goal of the game is Drake loses and will lose until the industry has decided he’s suffered enough.
