presumably, Push's suggestion that this is only "volume 1..." and he's starting slowly.Where is this idea that Drake has other stuff to hide as well coming from? What are the rumors?
Actually it's both. A lot of those 14/15 year olds that sell drugs also do it for the quick money and notoriety it brings them as well. I've personally lived through this and made it out eventually. It's such a messed up thing to be around and a lot of these kids don't need to start to begin with but are greatly influenced by their peers in the neighbourhoods they grow up in.
Drake grew up in Canada......as an Actor for a popular Teen TV show. I grew up around some hard people. I grew up around some old school Hip Hop heads who saw Hip Hop as the Hood's CNN. Rappers are just reporting their world view. Sure it sounds cool but we're celebrating how strong these individuals are. When you view them as cool you view them as cool because the music is tough and therefore they are tough. Just like kids love Superman and Batman.
Because they are bad asses. All other context is lost on them until they get older and start to process what makes them great beyond the ability to punch things.
1. Hip hop n the black community isn't made up of just kids. Even still I grew up n NC n even as kids we knew what was really going on out here. Guess if you know you know.
2. Drake didn't grow up in this country. He is a Canadian child actor. Lots of mixed kids grow up black because in America if you have one drop you are considered black by ppl who hate black ppl.
No comment on the hard vs soft cuz I'm not entirely sure where you are trying to say it comes from exactly.
I get this. I understand this. I grew up in BedStuy.
But hip hop definitely became a "if you never sold drugs or killed someone you ain't hard or cool" exclusive club for a while which subverts what you are trying to say.
Heck in your reply you've already clowned Drake for growing up in Canada and not having a hard life.
Ex gf loved 50 cent back in the day cuz he got shot 9 times and survived. Thought her Ex bf was cool cause he got shot once. Misfortune and hardship became some kinda rite of passage in hip hop.
Glad people like Ye helped to buck this trend but it still permeates hip hop.
Exactly. Most mixed kids aren't in wealthy communities so they automatically relate to n identify with black ppl. Drake is one of the exceptions not the rules.The same thing applies in Canada. There is a ton of racism here that goes undocumented. Drake was just fortunate enough to grow up in one of the wealthiest communities in the city.
Not everyone that sell drugs does it because they have to. I know people personally that did it because it was easy money. Their thought was why work a 9 to 5 for minimum wage when I could sling some dope and make more money. True, the lack of opportunity and poverty doesn't help. But let's not pretend like a lot of people that did it didn't have a choice or were just innocent bystanders.
It really is not.IDK who's trying to handwaved it but Drake in Blackface is not okay........
Drake did overstep his bounds with the fiance namedrop. All bets are off.
and oh boy its cracking me up reading Drake stans saying he went to far. bwahahah
IDK who's trying to handwaved it but Drake in Blackface is not okay........
Everybody in this damn thread & on the internet knows that shit was taken out of context.
I only brought up Drake's history because you said being a mixed man growing up in America. Race in America and Race in Canada are two different things.
What was the context?Everybody in this damn thread & on the internet knows that shit was taken out of context.
Can we please cut the theatrics? please?
Black people been coming at drake for the simple fact that he's lightskinned...now they're using this blackface photoshoot as ammunition, to try and prove something. Stop.
He's a Canadian musician and interviewer known for his exhaustive research.
No.Black people been coming at drake for the simple fact that he's lightskinned...
Meh who knows who wrote those bars.Listening to Drake's 6PM in New York tells us that he experienced the confusion of growing up mixed race. Whether Canada or America, he went through it.
And before yall accuse me of being a Drake stan, I got no dog in this fight. Love Pusha T especially as a featured artist.
Know all his verses from MBDTF and still bump Lord Willin'to this day
Oh ohhttp://m.tmz.com/2018/05/30/drake-pusha-t-baby-diss-track-revealed-adonis/
TMZ put out the text messages where Drake was begging Sophie to abort the baby

Plus if the context was satire like the film Bamboozled people would get the context. However it looks like it was merely an ad to sell fashion apparrel. I'm certain 31 year old Drake would've told 21 year old Drake, "Don't do it".Fuck are you talking about STAN.
Who wears black paint on they face with red ass lips for any reason?
Get real

Eileen Curran, Senior Director National PR/Media for the National MS Society, said, "It's troubling to hear that a person's disability would be made fun of by others. Multiple sclerosis, which affects more than 2.3 million people worldwide, is an often misunderstood disease. People living with MS face many challenges every day, which is why it's so important to continue to raise awareness for MS so others can better understand those challenges. We at the National MS Society see this as an opportunity to raise awareness of this disease, the people who live with it, and the support that is out there – especially since today is World MS Day."

No one has ever come at Drake about the fact that he's mixed with a Jewish mother? Questioning his "blackness"? Asking why is Drake allowed to say the N-Word?
yep.Exactly, I chalked it up to him being young and dumb if anything... But it's still not a cute look. It's pretty fucking embarrassing at the least.
Just don't come at me with that black vs lightskin shit, wtf. Don't put that one me, I don't fuck with that at all. What petty Stan ass defense honestly.
The community needs to learn how criticize our public figures. I get it, we get targeted from all angles so we get protective, but we need to call out the shitty stuff that's going on and stop downplaying and handwaving
