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

Drake has a diverse fanbase....but if you could hit 75 million before 30 by diversifying your fanbase, would you do it?

:mjlol:

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

People that dont go out assume that since drake is whitewashed and goofy that his fanbase is mostly white

the guys a superstar...he's got fans of every creed and color.

what i will say though..i'd bet most of the articles about people having a problem with him having "ghostwriters" and people not liking him because he's going more corporate these days are from white people.

What y'all are saying isn't the whole story

Black people determine what's hot in rap and white people follow with their dollars

You can't ignore that if you are not popping within black circles white people will never support

Of course there are few exceptions but this is generally the rule

Tyler the Creator. Nuff said.

Drake's music is the sound of the street. I hear his shyt bumping everywhere. I have no idea why you felt the need to shoehorn Nas and Wu into this discussion though.

The backlash Drake is experiencing right now is actually closer to the IWW/I Am/Nastradamus era than anything, where he's killing the charts and the streets, but a very loud minority is still trying to get him out of here.

Again, stop trying to assign logic to generic cliché internet hate...the silly shyt these people say isn't based in reason...for whatever reason the vast majority of people don't seem to be able to dislike an artist without being delusional and conflating their dislike with a bunch of nonsense...the cognitive dissonance created by a rapper they hate being the reigning and defending top guy in rap gives birth to all kinds of ridiculous bullshyt

And nah, it's definitely not the same backlash nas got...nas caught flack because he was the chosen one and dared step out the box created for him by closed minded "nah son...keep it real kid!!" rap purist types who were pissed he didn't want to rap over Pete Rock and Primo beats on every track though out the 90s...there's no true equivalent to that today really just cause rap smarks have given up besmirching most rappers for wanting to be the man in the game at large...the closest we got recently is probably lupes lasers fiasco ....Drake's is moreso your token mainstream rap antichrist construct
