Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

I think the biracial aspect is a bigger indicator of dudes success than anyone is willing to acknowledge. Wayne’s manger Tez talked about discovering dude and mentioned him being fair skinned as the cherry on top of rapping & singing. Imo if Drake isn’t fairer skinned without the ability to straddle the line between black and white he wouldn’t be as big as he is. That’s just my thinkpiece tho.

I know this place is a sausage fest but Drake has done way better with women than any dude associated with hip hop over the past 15 years. I had female friends obsessed with him in the early 2010’s.

Being biracial no doubt helps, but I don’t think that explains the highly tuned product marketed to young women who have grown up with him.

Any way you cut it he’s never made music just to make music. He’s selling it as a product and markets himself as a product to benefit of everyone invested in him - Nike included.

What I can’t respect is someone like Kanye using language like “eliminated” because it’s not so subtly taking a jab at being Jewish. If you fed the guy lines and helped his success in any way you should probably keep your mouth shut right now rather than look like a hypocrite just to further your own deluded narrative about being oppressed.

Rosenberg literally said the Jewish community was going to piggyback on Drake for being devout. Told Drake to his face you don’t understand how big you’re about to be for this interview. I don’t see how stating what’s right if front of us is antisemitism. I wish my black people had the power that Jewish people do in the entertainment business but we don’t and I don’t think it’s wrong to point out that we’re at the bottom of the entertainment totem pole and Jewish people are at the top.

Did you listen to the initial tweet where Drake himself said Jewish people was approaching him telling him how big he's gonna be and the extra support and "we've never seen this"?

To deny that he's gotten a extra boost due to his background and playing both sides is just naive. Has nothing to do with antisemitism.

Now y'all know good and damn well we're not allowed to speak on them folks or their culture although they're always speaking on ours. I don't want you brothers to get banned, just let it ride.
 
How tf can you have all that @ your disposal and then have the nerve to put out a song called started from the bottom.

Smh.
