Excellent post I got an important question posed by my favorite podcast .Sure. I'd rather see Drake exposed as the fraud he is though, so I'm riding with Pusha on this.
Drake is the epitome of fraudulence and the worst form of trojan horse being used to allow an invasion of hip-hop by bullshyt elements.
Half-jewish kid who plays it safe on race issues, weds the culture to corporatism (the corporate pile on during the Meek Mill situation was the most disgusting thing I think I've ever witnessed in hip-hop, honestly), and honestly leverages his light-skinned, conceivably-could-pass-as-almost-every-race status to take advantage of privileges darker, fully black people could never hope to take advantage of. And I say this as a light-skinned dude myself.
This fraud reinvented himself and has to be one of the most inauthentic people to ever lead the culture. He dons a fake accent every album and wave-hops putting an ambiguously brown face on black cultures - reggaeton, dancehall, whatever. Then, he has the nerve to claim himself the god of the culture when he doesn't even respect it by being ghostwritten for (his hottest bars came from an actual black person from Atlanta - coincidence? don't think so).
Ending this bullshyt is priority 1A for the culture. There's been a million Pusha's in hip-hop. Drake's bullshyt threatens the culture fundamentally. Kirby's been appropriating and almost smothering legit black faces in hip-hop (Migos are one of the few that made it out) for damn near a decade.
Get him the fukk out.
