Co-sign or not you cannot deny that he makes good music. You can have all the label pushes or co-signs you want but the music still has to be there. Whether he's a snake or not is irrelevant to most people because they just want to enjoy the music. You are over-analyzing everything. Nobody here knows these artists on a personal level so we can't give an honest assessment and judgement on them.

You nikkas have too much time on your hands. It's "MUSIC" "ENTERTAINMENT" not politics or war. If you can't press play and just enjoy, just delete or skip the track.

The Truth
I wasn't coming from the perspective of the end user of the music tho. It's entertainment to us, but for lots of people it's how they eat and feed their families. Today Music isn't "just music" It's a multi-billion dollar commodity with trillion dollar impact. When you have the most valuable company in the world working overtime to acquire entertainers to make their brand and platform more appealing, you start to understand the ripple effect this culture has.

They could be coming up with long ass diatribes based on nothing but uninformed speculation tho

The Truth
where was anything I said unconfirmed or speculation?
everything I stated was fact and documented in every step in his career. his backround in canada, his first attempt to come in the game not being marketable or survivable, his new strategy to work with established artists to leverage their notoriety and fanbase to grow his, acting as if these all were favors that benefited other artists when the reality is it benefited him more, using elements of black culture to build new identities for his character....him going to Apple after he agreed that he'd be apart of Tidal....I mean, wherever any of this is untrue or speculation, please point it out.

pound cake wasn't a hit record. it's a highly revered album cut from NWTS. you can't seriously be that blind to not understand how Drake uses Jay's status to validate his own skills when it comes to rhyming. he knows people will not really ever consider him a real MC, but he could reach out to Hov' and get him on a track talking his fly shyt and get more hip hop heads to give him some attention.
this goes back to the whole thing about him running with the narrative that he's giving out favors.
I went back and read this and I have to give it to the op. this angle destroys the idea/concept of the stimulus package as a benefit he gives to others. you start to see that he's a leech of other's energy, style, swag, culture ect. he's the rap version of a nikka that will steal your wallet and help you look for it.
I think that's what meek knew instinctively but couldn't actually find the words for when he started that whole beef. everybody who worked with him personally probably knows what drake's really like. but then he gets to come on records with a dude like meek who's actually been in the street, been locked up, and actually started from the bottom. then he puts Drake on a song like RICO, where he can talk about street happenings and the shyt street nikkas experience without ever getting close. but he can use the feature and say some shyt about it and get a street connection. Drake himself can't make a song like RICO. so meek was like wow, this cat used me, use my name, used my rep, used my connection to the street and can chant some shyt about RICO and never ever spent a day in jail....but won't shout my album out? then you ain't even write the verse?
this is the type of behavior patterns of leeching, using and ungratefulness that he tries to reverse on people he should be showing gratitude to. I never heard a rapper say mention how much it was "all me" and "never had no help" so much and be so wrong. it's like a lie he's desperately trying to make himself believe.

I'm telling ya'll. Drake is the new blackface.
I'm telling ya'll. Drake is the new blackface.
He can't speak on black struggle or black life in general because he only operates as a black man to sell records. Outside of the booth he's Canadian Born Aubrey Graham who spent his adolescence on a film set safely getting checks every week. But he can get on a feature with Meek, Trouble, Future, , Lil Baby & Blocboy and convincingly spit about getting it out the mud, paying lawyers, riding out, calling hittas and not snitching to the cops.....Like you said he can't do this by himself so he uses someone else who's been about it to give him the space to say/allude to certain things nobody would otherwise believe if it was just him.... Even if he's only doing the hook, by association, all the shyt being talked on the records he absorbs because the hook is the anchor for the whole song.
Be clear, all the features he does with outside rappers is for the sole purpose of keeping the Drake image alive. He can't survive in the game without these features because the core of his material consists of how hard being rich and famous is, simping his exes, getting his heart broken and turning around and saying none of these women were important...at the age of 32.
At this point he realizes the nature of the music he creates himself exposes the real him. It's sad, simpish, immature, full of self pity and reveals how far he is from being a man. That's why he's dependent on features with other rappers to help him "man up" musically. He gets to tell us "you never know...he might body you" "he might fukk up and end up downtown...push him to the edge and see..."
Just listen to the difference of how he behaves on tracks he does alone and then listen to how he changes up for the features.
Stans will continue to either play dumb like they don't understand or are too dumb to catch on why this is evidence of a person who is a fraud. It doesn't mean anything to me personally, but I do find entertainment and interest watching all the cognitive dissonance in the replies.

Drake literally did not put any of those artists on even after they each gave him at least 1 hitWeeknd , partynextdoor , blockboy , makonnen and the 2 guy who wrote hold on we goin home
Quentim miller too
The Weeknd is responsible for the majority of Drakes best album
A lot drake fans dont even know who PND is
He actually STOPPED QM and Makonnen from getting bigger
You cant even name the people who wrote hold on we're going home
I'm from Toronto and Drake didn't even become big in the city until he started getting co-signed by Little Wayne and all the rest of the American rappers at the time. Before that no one was really checking for him like that other than him being on Degrassi. Drake still continues to do this and he rides the waves of the new upcoming artists coming out of the States.
U reachin
People know QM , PND and makkonem bcz of drake
I knw them from drake and I dnt care what u say
Who hurt you

if you cant distinctly provide receipts for the bolded, its not fact, its opinion.
that said, the 'new strategy' you speak of is basically strategy 101 for artists anyways. but ill let you cook
you might be able to provide receipts or sources for all your points
, i dont follow drizzy like you do
im just tryna make sure you're aware that without being able to provide citations that back up your statements for various aspects of your post, its nothing more than an Op Ed
its well written, but its prolly only marginally accurate since you have no connection to the industry or any of the artists in question
but i guess the booth needed its 500th drake thread for the month
Everything is politics
