my reaction to the article

1. Drake finally taking a stand on something, maybe I underestimated dude
2. dude is kinda all over the place with this reasoning, fukk is he really tryna say?
3. ohhhh, I see, really he's just mad Macklemore didn't send him a text, and this is a passive aggressive way for him to get at Kendrick
4.shut the fukk up

I had the SAME reaction, verbatim.

I'll tell ya what I think he likes trolling pop culture especially rap fans too haha, for real I think he purposely wants to show he can succeed in hip-hop while being soft as shyt. In ways I like that hip-hop is evolving from non-stop violence and drugs, but where it's going is just too suspect, between pictures like this, Drake's overall persona, Macklemore's whole presence in hip-hop...I don't know man haha

We always need a balance but hip hop likes extremes. A lot of people predicted rappers being or acting gay and using that for attention years before it began happening in recent years. Black gangsters are not shocking anymore that image lost its selling power post Curtis Jackson. Now u got these attention seeking male whores kissing nikkaz, calling themselves bytches etc to fuel speculation and controversy and it just keeps spiraling down the road which got most hetero rap fans on edge not wanting to know how far it could go...

Yea man it's nuts to think about where it goes next, like you said it favors extremes and it's sick of the gangster image, the only positive direction I could see it possibly taking is to revisit political and social injustice but that might be too much to ask.

Rappers now don't care about that although they should and according to some posters, a few of them (drake) have already come out and said that that kinda shyt has no place in hip hop. Still waiting on proof on that but the music will take the form of the generation its catering to and our generation (I say our meaning Generation Y or millienials) just wants to get turnt up right now, that's it. We vote but still not in the numbers that we should, reading is a thing of the past and we think politics and the news is boring.

Sad to think about really. I do think there is a market for it though, a growing one too, but they've moved on to other forms of entertainment since hip-hop has abandoned it. But you're definitely right the majority of this generation doesn't stand for much.

Right. He's half white, he can't speak against white privilege. Very few doors have been closed for that man

So, you are saying he has half-white privilege. What is he getting that Will Smith didn't get? Let me guess, his own Jordan sneaker line
