Has Drake put rappers on or just tried to hitch his wagon to an already rising star on some "Stand next to the fire to stay hot" type shh!t? Asking seriously, I don't follow nothing he does.
Both,he uses them for street but also gives them their biggest song. Future, Ross, lil baby biggest hits featured Drake.

Drake been acting like a diva for years now.


A lot of them rap nikkas know that Drake is a lame that’ll buy his way into the club.

He ain’t put on no one that he could pass the baton too either.


Its crazy because Wayne put that boy in position despite him being the hottest alive.


Aubrey’s name is dirt right now

His reasoning aside he’s right

As a rapper the sooner you realize people will find issue with you after a matter of time you’ll be ok

Drake is known for using people and dipping as soon as they’re not hot anymore.

Can I counter??? “The streets” were in trouble when “street rappers”, lol sounds funny saying that, allowed and accepted a person with the background of Drake hop on records and spit “hood tales” with them, and essentially use them for credibility.
street nikkas are notoriously dumb ass c00ns so not surprising in retrospect lol

I think Dugg recognizes that the beef was an executive level attempt to shift hip-hop away from street rappers being at the forefront of mainstream hip-hop culture.

If you look at the Billboard charts since then, that’s exactly what‘s happened. We went from the likes of him and Lil Baby having world-wide chart-topping hits, to Sabrina Carpenter, Morgan Wallen, Charlie XCX, etc. running the board again.

Attempting to get the guy who pushed the genre to the forefront of mainstream visibility, profitability, and viability out of the way was key to being able to give the other genre’s a chance at the limelight again.

The Booth can’t see the forest past the trees in understanding that the goal of lyrical rap being elevated “Killer Mike and Dochii winning Rap Albums of the year, Kendrick at the SuperBowl, Clipse album roll out, etc.” is a label-coordinated attempt to make the genre less commercially viable and competitive with pop and country artists in the way that street rap does.

We’ll support it because our backpacker tastes will be validated, but peep the play.
