A Descent into Certified Lover Boyhood: A Rap Theologue Deconstructs the Heisenbergian Transformation of Aubrey "Drake" Graham
Ah, Drake. A name that elicits groans from the discerning rap scholar, a trigger word for those who remember him not as a chart-topping behemoth, but as the awkward Degrassi kid, Jimmy Brooks. This essay will delve into the metamorphosis of Drake, a transformation as dramatic as Walter White's descent from mild-mannered chemistry teacher to crystal meth kingpin Heisenberg.
From Degrassi Basement to Billboard Penthouse:
The Heisenbergian Ego Trip
Much like Walter White, initially a man of measured politeness, Drake began with a persona of wholesome Canadian innocence. Yet, a hunger for power – chart-topping power in this case – brewed beneath the surface. Where White donned the Heisenberg hat and sunglasses, Drake cultivated the perma-puff jacket and the brooding billionaire scowl. Both men cultivated an air of mystique, surrounding themselves with yes-men and metaphorical enforcers (think Jesse Pinkman vs. Drake's entourage, theOVO Sound).
Lyricism as Blue Sky: A Descent from Purity
Early Drake, much like the nascent blue meth Walt cooked, possessed a certain purity. His raps, while not earth-shattering, had a relatable awkwardness. But then, the commercialization began. Drake's lyrics, once infused with teenage angst, became a monotonous whine about first-world problems – jet lag and mansion woes replacing struggles relatable to the common man. This shift echoes the tragic decline of Walt's product. The initial, high-quality meth became mass-produced, blue-tinted mediocrity, a pale shadow of its former brilliance.
The Echoes of Heisenbergian Hubris
Both Walter White and Drake, in their respective pursuits of power, succumbed to a monstrous arrogance. White's "I am the one who knocks" became a mantra for his reign of terror. Drake's self-proclaimed status as the "6 God" reeks of the same delusional grandeur.
A Conclusion Steeped in Bitterness (and Maybe a Glimmer of Hope)
One can only hope that Drake, like a fallen Heisenberg cornered by the DEA, will one day experience a comeuppance. Perhaps a diss track so vicious it will shatter his carefully constructed image. Or maybe, just maybe, a return to the introspective honesty of his Degrassi days. Until then, we, the rap scholars, must endure the certified-lover-boy-gangster facade, a pale imitation of the once-promising artist we thought Drake could be.

Drake fell off when he started the thug act. Somewhere around the time XXXTentacion threatened his whole position in the music industry. That's when he started making gangsta rap songs and talking greasy. What's happening today is the logical progression of all that faking. You might say it's X ghost haunting him.
