Drake- “whipped and chained you like American slaves.”

[Secure Da Bag]

I can’t believe people are in here claiming this man is “ADOS”. He was raised by his white Jewish mother in Canada. Culturally he is the farthest thing from it so I have never considered him black American. Regardless the line is trash and mad disrespectful and he deserves heat for it. Noticed it when I first heard the song on Friday. Haven’t listened since.

Garbage bar aside, ADOS/FBA is lineage. That's different than culture.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

You are not ADOS by default. It’s an affiliation that one chooses. It may have started off simply to denote lineage but it’s metastasized into a political and cultural movement as well .

If your a black American of the lineage, you literally are an American descendant of slavery. It’s really not something you could disagree with

 

[Sauce and Footwork]

If you are ok with having your national identity be coined with a term descendent of slave , you are a fukking idiot. Y’all think our real civil rights leaders would think that was anything other than a demeaning.

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

I mean it is a little out of pocket, but this hip hop yall nikkas becoming soft ngl

Lol yes you are.

If your direct descendants were slaves...in America. You're ADOS. It's kinda not disputable. Sure we can get into the weeds about how much blood and all that.
But for the MAJORITY of Black people in America...they are ADOS...the moment they are born.

Drake is ADOS. Doesn't matter how I feel about it.

 

[I Really Mean It]

The topic is about Drake disrespecting ADOS, how am I deflecting if I'm mentioning other ADOS disrespect in the very same song?

Calling Black people "c00ns" is also ADOS disrespect but it's clear that the outrage is conditional as it relates to ADOS disrespect.

stop derailing the focus of our discussion. your contribution to this thread is no different than someone asking about gun violence in chicago after a mass shooting.

Not even, it's pointing out that in this one song, the person who made light of Black people being enslaved, also mentions paying to have a Black person killed.

I don’t consider myself ADOS but don’t have an issue with people who choose to do so. As much as I hate Tariq I’d much rather label myself FBA if forced to choose. At this point I still refer to myself as African American or black although I agree both terms are antiquated and messy.

As for Drake I have already acknowledged that he is half-AA only as it relates to his ethnicity and lineage. So to the extent that ADOS is limited to either of those I will agree with you. I just happen to believe these distinctions/delineations encompass much more.

 

[BobbyWojak]

How can you say he’s being singled out when you admit that the other apologized, implying that he caught smoke for it too?

Any rapper would catch smoke for this.

 

[head shots101]

Nothing will come out of this

 

[Hoodoo Child]

No matter how much he pretends otherwise, Drake is ADOS/FBA.

"The Code of Jewish Law states that a child of a Jewish mother is Jewish, regardless of the father’s lineage (or whatever else may show up in a DNA test), while the child of a non-Jewish mother is not Jewish."

[Bonk]

The biggest fraud in hip hop history.

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

Somebody said they saw Drake in the bathroom and he still drops his pants down to his ankles to take a piss.

 

[Buddy]

I get what you’re saying and I feel your frustration, brother. But Drake didn’t mean it in the sense of ADOS . He was just saying some fukk shyt about slavery here. Completely unnecessary for him to add the ‘American’ distinction. fukk him and I say that as a fan.

My point isn't about Drake or what he meant, Idk why people can't get past that. It's the kinda phenomenon an identifier like that can introduce and he made a stark example, no matter what he meant.


And breh, these are the same cats that casually talk about "Bedwenches" all day like that shyt doesn't have serious history and trauma behind it but we're talking about one line Drake
