Nothing Drake ever does feels authentic IMO. I was cool with the video, but I did find it strange that all of these donations in the Miami area kept being announced in the media in advance. It felt random.

That was a first for him, and obviously we learned that this song/video was the reason for those announcements.

Giving money to people who need it is great, and not saying Drake didn’t want to do well by them. But it just feels funny to me knowing that it was all orchestrated on a string of corporate conference calls and marketing campaigning...and then once it’s out, it’s over just like any other song and video.

So what’s the real plan?

:yeshrug:
To me, as a general rule, I agree with Hov when he said, "the purest form of giving is anonymous to anonymous." It was also the label's money. So basically he used like 20,000 to shoot the video and gave away the rest.

He doesn't have to do anything. He is already popular. It's beyond retarded to be mad at someone for being charitable you could just be indifferent. Rappers give money to strippers all the time and brag about it with no backlash. Human beings are never satisfied. Fake outrage. Define fake charity to me cuz the act still serves its purpose to the people who are recipients. :dead:
This is the only reason I'm cool with the act. It serves the purpose, but the thing is, it could've served the same person without the video. It makes it semi cringeworthy but puts you in an awkward spot of being called a hater if you point it out because regardless people got paid.

Drake has always been consistently corny. I don't think this is out of character if anything it is in line with his whole character. But I agree.

Please stop with the bullshyt.


If he wanted to be genuinely charitable, he would have done something that would be beneficial to disadvantage folks that would benefit them in the long term such as opening a community center or donating money to rehab some homes in poor communities or something of that nature. He would have done that without a personal motive or any time. Not that bullshyt of giving out 1 million dollars of money and this public relations bullshyt before his album drops and worst off, posting it on social media or media outlets. Then it shows he's doing it for all the wrong reasons.

And everything else youre saying and accusing me of is bullshyt. When did I ever promote black genocide because I'm calling out drake for doing what he does best-being fake.

You sure as hell could have fooled me with the last paragraph. You support his bullshyt which is just as bad as buying his half assed music that he doesn't even have of writing or even creating. He even gets coached on how to say his shyt. His whole entire music career has been based off of fakeness from his buzz to even his overexaggerated sales which the industry literally changed its rules for platinum and gold certifications to make his underselling ass look like he's really that popular.

All around, I'm so sick of seeing these fake fukks being shoved in my and the other people's faces and being told by the higher ups that want to control everyone what we should like, look up to and celebrate. People can't even be themselves or be independent thinkers anymore. Of course, people like you buy into that bullshyt and are ready to claim I'm "hating" or coming up with crazy things to shame me such as "promoting the destruction of black people" because I see through that clowns gimmick and you dont. The bigger picture of it is that as a society, these folks at the top are literally fukking us over and how they do it is by pushing illusions on us by showing drake who is some corporate creation marketed and operated by the machine to control the public on some "this is what you should look up to". Nothing too edgy or would actual influence the public to rebel or question what's going on. Rap was a powerful artform that scared the government and the politicans back in the day where the fbi and all these folks in power were literally threatening and silencing folks for being too real and opening up the public conscious. The closest period which reflected a revolution since the 60s was the 90s. It kicked off in the late 80s but the 90s really was when shyt could have went there. The government saw that and shut shyt down by the 2000s. They stopped generation x and they wasn't giving generation y an opportunity especially with the Internet and etc. It's no coincidence that MySpace, Facebook, smart phones, and etc started emerging when the core of generation y became adults. Look at how folks can't even get busy on the conscious and activism tip. They gotta be told and don't even do their Googles to see what they're getting involved with. Drake is basically gentrified rap but he didn't get to where he was at without the help of other artists who were used to lay the groundwork for him to be accepted. Hence Kanye West and kid Cudi amongst certain artists. Crazy thinking about it.

I'm all for authenticity. fukk this bullshyt.
:russell:

There worse shyt people can do than charitable acts. Get over it.

Fake outrage.

It's not charitable if the person that is giving is gaining something more behind the act than the person that is receiving. Drake has an image to maintain and that's the definition of fake. No amount of money will ever get dude the respect, authencity or talent that he wants so desperately. It certainly won't wipe away the ghostwriting accusations.

its genuine. u can tell cause he called rosenberg and was angry at him for shytting on his video.

the main point is, he gave money to people in need

the only way to give money, is if you make money

and guess what, to make money you gotta work (in this case, sell music)

to sell music, u have to market

Where the harm in charity and trying to make this a movement?

Who cares if it's marketing... Does the intent negate the benefit to the benefactors?

You think charity and aid organizations that blanket the world don't give with stipulations?

Brehs need a reality check.
Your line of rhetoric is petty
What does Drake need to market?

Genuine or not, at least he's promoting that type of shyt rather than Molly, strippers, and botgles

actually it does. When I was in high school my senior year, my house caught fire. I lost a lot of tapes, cds, and vinyl that still to this day I have not replaced. The insurance company put us in this white area while they rebuilt the house. My bus driver, a deacon of a church, pulled me aside one day in the hallway of school and told me to give his number to my family. This was around thanksgiving time and we weren't in poverty, but him, his wife, and church, that we didn't belong to, gave us a LOT of food for thanksgiving. A big turkey, stuffing, a lot of stuff. And he never told anyone about it and still to this day, no one knows about it until I tell them. that was over 20+ years ago. Charity is great, but giving to show the world that, "look at me, I helped some people that need it' and to parade them around on camera knowing it's a tax write off aint cool. But in the end, I'm happy the people get what they need though. I'll put it like this, if you were down on your luck, just lost your job, rent was due and family was hungry and someone gave you some cash and posted it all over social media that u were in need and they gave you a $1000 and you had to see that every day on tv, how would that make you feel?
