Drake speaks out on #AltonSterlin... EDIT: Thecoli dismisses and belittles it

[CrimsonTider]

Dont y'all sit and complain that rappers dont do enough social activism? Y'all can't hate this man that much

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Open and honest dialogue is gonna solve the problem huh

Son.. Why he fronting like he's Kendrick or Cole all of a sudden

That IG activism is disingenuous as fukk, even if Drake believes it himself, and I am not directly accusing him of purposefully trying to distract from the Budden issue.....He stands with the corporate elites and the hierarchies of power and historical oppression, (whether he realizes it nor not) he's never been a have not, or grown up in a community that was disenfranchised, so whose natural reaction is fukk the police, never been arrested or sat in a cell, or felt that anger when being arrested, tightening cuffs on the wrists, never held work, never held a pistol, or played the street, the people around him who are, are merely leeches and opportunists....He's a yuppie, playing masquerade in the game and the culture.

Drake's soft ass learned that from the community he infiltrated.....He's not a rebel, or a fighter, or any of that....He's a posturing suburbanite.

Obvious deflect

I agree with that point, I was just wondering why you asked me about thinkin ___ was J Cole or Kendrick.

I gave him the because he tried the same shyt on charged up.

nikka wanna all of a sudden start talking about police brutality in the middle of a rap on some "Why you dissing me? What about the cops!?"



"Cops are killing people with their arms up
And your main focus is tryna harm us"

Ohhhhh but they do.

As far as the IG shyt....ehhhhh....

I'll say this. Any spotlight shined on this type of thing is great because it happens far too often and unless people spaz out and riot then it falls out of the media cycle almost immediately, sadly.

So any celebrity speaking up is good.

Having said that....anybody can type out an IG post and if it came down to his fans or sponsors or Apple or whoever questioning his stance on the subject....I'm curious if he'd stand tall. And of course the timing of this is....questionable, to say the least. If he cancels the Summer 16 Tour and/or OVO Fest to make some kinda stand against police brutality....well, it'll be a different thing.

Fred.

Why are you adding qualifiers to your point that this is great by shining the spotlight?

Who cares about standing tall to sponsors? What benefit would canceling a concert foster?

You know what it is

Damn if he do, damn if he don't

We live in this microwave society where everybody is looking for instant gratification so we subjected to this social media era where people find fault with anything no matter how positive it is. Everybody feeling like their opinion matters. People saying wildest things for likes and attention.

Like he said in his open letter we need to discuss issues like this so we can have open dialogue

 

[YourMajesty]

I'll bet my last that he didn't write it. Shoutout to them ovo tent boys

 

[The Mad Titan]

What about responding to Joey

 

[Concerning VIolence]

Deflections.

 

[Animal House]

All he said was he's concerned for his safety, foh

 

[Grizzly]

respect to him for actually saying something

unfortunately i think it's too late for "open and honest dialogue"

 

[10bandz]

nikka got people ghostwriting his IG activist letters now
