Please refrain from the bs stan wars I don't make drake threads .



I see people always talk about how he doesn't need to talk about our issues because that's not his lane .


Why does it have to be his lane to bring awareness when he's one of the biggest entertainers .

It kinda make those people who say he's a culture vulture right .


I say that because hip hop wasn't just built on party music and fun . It was also a gateway for our people to communicate and spread word about what's going on .


This gives me pause as to why can someone like drake use the great parts of what we build . Yet he's not responsible for the tough subjects .

Before you bring all these young ignorant rappers up stop I'm talking about drake . He's one of the biggest entertainers and I'm using him as an example .


Now I might be wrong drake fans but what charity work does drake do ?

I've seen the baseball game donation during the meek beef but we all know that was just a pawn move.


Think he also donated to some lady in Ohio who suffered a tragedy .

Apart from that I don't see anything else but like I said I could be wrong .

I just don't understand why it's ok for him to use just the good parts of our culture .


Also please don't bring up drake speaking out about the police shooting that shyt was like 5 years too late .


Jay z and Beyoncé give a lot of money to charity and they never speak on it .



Why don't we hold drake accountable ?

You don't have to agree with my post I just want to hear some valid reasons .

Frauds tend to remain fraudulent in all aspects of life. Music and social issues alike.

Great point...

...You'd think the music would reflect some of our struggle....

...But that's just another reason why he's a pop star and not hip hop...

Hasn't Drake spoke out on police shootings, Trump and other things multiple times?

But What I really want to say is why do y'all crave for rappers to have social commentary.

I never want to hear social commentary for rappers. Y'all praise these guys for speaking on the most surface level racial dynamics.

Wasn't the Trump comment the one when he didn't even say the guy's name? Lol. Sounded like he wasn't committed to the smoke

He makes party/feel good music to take your mind off that.

Perhaps he does a feel a way about it personally but that would alienate his fanbase and sponsors

He told y'all from the get "all I care about is money and the city that I'm from"

So at least he is consistent.

When you think about it that shyt is super funny

I've heard him say a thing or two on a couple songs but I'm not sure if he's dedicated an entire song to conscious rap.

Drake is on a mission. He's doing very well completing that mission.
ALthough I appreciate social commentary.
I only want it when it's real,via Pac,cube,Face,Nas and a host of others that have really said some things.
I'd rather have dope jams than fake,half hearted social commentary records like the ones we get from KENDRICK LAMAR.
Drake should stay in his lane.

he's more like meek (and 95% of rappers) than people like to admit
other rappers will get called out for their repetitive subject matter
drake has a comfort zone and he won't leave it.
he has his 3 to 4 topics that he sticks to and he raps about,
wash,rinse and repeat
but he's drake so no one will admit to this fact.
he's generic as fukk!!
:manny:my 2 cents!!
