2 reasons.

He is half-black.

2nd Reason, for all the hate that Drake gets from some people. he's been pretty forthcoming about his position in the game. He never really claimed to be the savior of anything. He considers himself more artist than rapper. People are coming at him for not writing his own shyt even though he gives props and credit to these writers who help him make songs.

Also this Meek Mill beef really shows you that what constituted hip-hop culture is fluid and ever changing. Hip-hop is a youth driven culture and now its basically run by 90's babies for the most part. We are now entering a territory where these kids have never seen 2 turntables and a mic, the Graffiti has been long painted over, tracksuits and kangols are basically worn ironically. That's just where the game is at. Kids just wanna be entertained, they don't care how the sausage is made anymore.

The culture was took the moment outsiders saw the influence and monetary value in it.
The culture died years ago after being raped for all its worth.
Drake is one of the many b*stard children of the culture

His dad and uncles African Americans from the south who were down with some legendary funk and soul cats like Sly and the family stone and cats that did music like this . Anyone with that type of blood in them is my brother.


Just cause some of our good brothers lived a good life doesn't make them less of our brothers, tell me that Obama isn't our man :ufdup:

My feelings don't get invested like that; the music gets play if it sounds good no matter the artist, or era.

That being said, what I said before Is still true. The culture been took, raped, and this is the result.

Half the hip hop culture is about coming from disadvantaged positions. No being black doesn't make you automatically apart of hip hop culture. Yes I'm Mexican/white
