This, the entire post. Wayne too
Drake does this a lot, but it's up to the artist to let him on the track or not.
It's a 50/50 deal. Blocboy's track with Drake got 350 million views on youtube. That's more than all his other video views combined.

what community is Drake apart of?
this!! Isn’t this what everyone should do? It makes sense
They both benefit
.If the younger artist Keeps the momentum they won’t be attached to drakes name .

It’s what you do when you’re past your prime in rap.
And please that stimulus package does much more for a new artist than it does for Drake

I understand both sides. He’s not really saying it’s wrong for Drizzy to do it. But as u can see the convo started off about Drake’s artists not really doing shyt while he’s a complete superstar. I mean it’s part of the reason him and Weeknd fell out and now Weeknd is arguably bigger than Drizzy. I don’t think that would’ve happened if he stayed under Drakes umbrella and let him take all his hot shyt continuously.
I mean its mutually beneficial. Drake is a big artist so it helps the newer artist get attention and streams and Drake might get a new style his ghostwriters can run with. It is what it is
It's for street credibility mostly. He'll hop on the latest hood booger anthem without fail, because while that audience typically moves from one flash in the pan to another, Drake is always visible to them. You rarely see him working with other lyricists because he sees them as threats to his brand
my friends say the same thing.. he does it to be relevant.. but it's a win for both... black people try to find problems with anybody they don't like.. a drake feature will change your life.. seen it time and time again.. but that's not helping?

Weeknd always had his own thing though (and shyt, you could argue Weeknd has done more with XO than Drake has with OVO)
