Elliott Wilson Calls Out Drake For Doing Interviews Outside The Hip Hop Culture

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

I’m not a Drake fan at all, but this ain’t the fight to pick

Hip Hop media half the time is trying to tear you down or put you in a weird situation for views.

Don’t nobody after selling 1 million records want to be asked if you eat coochie

Other forms of non hip hop media do the same things as well, so why is it only the hip hop media that suffers from it?

 

[SNG]

I think he will eventually do a drink champs interview that will be heavily moderated.

 

[Fani Willis fan]

You can’t shame nikkas into slumming with you, in fact this will probably be a mistake.

It's lame and he's gonna blow that girl up even further lol. It's not a Drake issue though it seems to be a general thing at this point. People like Akademiks are trash but there's good platforms that could've used the boost.

Nah yall nikkas gotta see the gm for what it is. Elliott just want another Drake interview. All that other sht is bullsht

Sadly, this is why acts that get to this level of exposure largely move away from interacting with hip hop media. There's really not a lot of benefit of showing up to promote your new work when that same outlet was just shytting on you viciously to get off some clips for social media. Or if you know they're not going to ask you any real questions about the music, but will ask you all kinds of messy ass questions that don't actually benefit you.

But of a difference: other outlets will openly back down at the beginning of the interview and at least fake like they fukked up for being harsh toward them before, and the fukkery is usually fukkery that's designed to include the act in the joke, as opposed to making them the butt of the joke.

Only ppl who really do that are Charlemagne and Akademiks

And Charlemagne only does that to ppl he doesn’t care about

That's not true for the most part and even you know that. You can tell who in this thread only listens to hip hop interviews and who doesn't because they think that every interviewer in hip hop is like that when it's just not the case. Other genres have interviewers who do the exact same thing and they have no issue getting interviews from other artist.

Hell, Bobby Bones is one of them and he still gets mainstream artist interviews week in and week out.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Drake really has nothing to gain from talking to rap outlets who are just going to press him on shyt and try to generate clicks for themselves.

He'd much rather control the narrative and get someone who will play along and also get tons of views and attention at the same time

Hoffa and Wallo/Gillie do this?

Yeah sports media is the biggest example of that damn near all they do is hate and alotof it just be things the athletes do out of the ring that has nothing to do with the sport their playing.

exactly

all they gonna do is ask him messy ass gossip questions and try to bait him into saying something foul about other artists so there's some beef to talk about and give them more content

you can't promote immature shyt as a culture and then get mad when people don't wanna indulge in it


what an embarassment to have these people thinking shyt like that is a "culture" worth preserving and perpetuating

Hoffa and Wallo/Gillie do this?

Do they now? I've dropped off of listening to their podcasts as of late, but the only time I ever see or hear anything from them these days is when there's fukkery, or they get a guest to say something clipworthy about someone they have or had an issue with. I'm not sure that's really worth it for a lot of bigger acts.

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Hoffa and Wallo/Gillie do this?

Math beats around the bush but all he cares about it the chatty patty and beef topics

Wallo/gillie is basically them telling stories about themselves with the artist to the side of them just nodding and agreeing…they aren’t really interviewers like that
