Why is thecoli now trying to push the narrative that Drake fanbase is white?

[King Kreole]

1. Drake is, and has always been, a contentious figure in the black community, but he is still beloved because he makes undeniable urban music bangers.

2. Just due to population numbers, white people will make up a significant portion of most hip-hop artists' fan base. But I would wager Drake's percentage of white fans is larger than any hip-hop star past or present. I don't remember Tupac going on Ellen Degeneres, or Nas hosting the ESPYs or BIG hosting SNL. Drake has purposely positioned himself in a manner that allows him to cake off mainstream America to an unprecedented degree. And his sales prove as much. White grandmothers in Idaho know of Drake. You got Matt Lauer on Good Morning America talking about YOLO. He's arguably the most commercial rapper of all time. This is also the root cause of his conflicted status within the black community. The black community has always been wary of interlopers, because historically it's ended in exploitation.

3. A bit off topic, but as a former huge Drake fan, I'm actually interested to hear how @CrimsonTider @ISOMELO @Napoleon view Drake now. How have the reference tapes affected your stance on him? Is it that you always viewed him as a pop star, and therefore the fraudulence doesn't matter? Or is that you don't think having reference tapes is a big deal w/r/t hip-hop artistry? Or do you just ignore them? Because I'm having a very tough time listening to this guy now, and he was probably my favourite rapper of this era. Pre-reference tapes I thought Drake was doing the culture a huge benefit by opening up the palate of the genre (many other did before him, but no one with his reach and status), but I'm interested to hear how y'all justify a rapper not rapping.

Whats your point

What type of black man goes on record to say "i didnt cry when pac died" when nobody asked?

A black man that grew up on the gawd hov instead

 

[WickedSkengman]

Just wondering, do some of y'all think white people don't party.? I've kicked more white bishes out of my house trying to play drake than any other music

why are you asking me? i said nothing about white people not partying

This just started being a talking point a while ago.

Drake owns the nightlife and with that he gets the utmost love from the streets, black women and most who are just enjoying their life and want to have a soundtrack to feeling good.


Drake has replaced what Jay z was to mainstream HipHop from 97-2003

There are infinitely more white Wu and Nas fans than Drake fans

Your post is accurate.

I will say one thing though: I have never met a White Nas fan. I was thinking about this the other day. I'm sure Nas has lots of White fans. I've just never met one. In all my years, I know one cat that can claim to like Nas but really he says he likes Nas for props. Ask him his favorite Nas tracks and he won't know.

Why is coli massively discussing a pop performer like Drake, is the better question.

Didn't you catch the "Max Martin needs respect" thread? That's where we are with the culture, breh. We're engulfed in frauds.

Who do you think is buying Drakes singles on iTunes?

Who do you think is requesting his songs on POP radio?

Who do you think is 90% of his concerts?

If you don't think these ppl are white, you're nuts. And if you think Wu/Nas etc have more white fans, show me the album sales. Show me the receipts.

What you REALLY mean to say is, Nas/Wu etc have more ADULT white fans(28+), while Drake has the 12 yr old-early 30s white fanbase....which is infinitely bigger

LMFAOOOOOOOOO

Grand opening....

 

[KOohbt]

Because I'm trying to explain how rap gets filtered through the people.

Drake raps from a black perspective

No he doesn't. He grew up a white Jewish kid and then a white child star. Then turned black when he started rapping. He raps from a goofy white kid perspective through an African American art form. That's a fact. If it's not prove anything j said wrong.

fukking dumbass

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Since when did 'narative' become a synonym for reality?

 

[10bandz]

and a shytty one at that. Dude is remedial.

I'm remedial yet y'all nikkas think 8 or 9 sentences spaced out is an essay? Y'all can't read??? Why drake got the dumbest fans in rap when Drake himself is a smart Jew?

U a mid-20s black man from the UK that idolizes Asap Rocky. Come to LA and I'll smack the shyt out of you

QM gave at most an 8 bar verse and a hook to Drake not even full 16's or entire songs. Even the songs where he contributed Drake still wrote the vast majority of the track. He was also credited on the tape.

The man has close to 1,000 verses and dozens upon dozens of songs those little reference tapes ain't do shyt for me. I dig his music and never ranked him as one of the greatest anyway. He's still my favorite rapper from this generation and will be until he starts releasing trash music.

Simple as that
