- Perhaps Aubrey Graham’s best acting days weren’t as wheelchair Jimmy on Degrassi but rather playing a hip-hop superstar named Drake.

Putting euphoria in the thumbnail 3 years after upload is a crazy RUclips cheat code.
Bro, he even says the title of the album at 15:33 🤯
Everything on RUclips is a cheat code. Green screen, AI narration, click bait title and thumbnails. All that. This shit because a septic tank of fckery
He got me too🤣🤣
lol facts
Nah fr 😂😂😂😂
Changing the thumbnail 3 years later... I respect it lol
right😂
😂😂😂 I thought he was a from the future for a bit
It tripped my out when I saw it was made 3 years ago 😂
He knew what time it was 😅
The thumbnail got me too
After this recent public beef with Kendrick this video couldn’t have aged better
Aged like fine wine lol
what changed after the beef
Drake have always been like this his attack was inevitable
It's awesome!
Check 15:34
"My blackest friends" is crazy 💀
LOL Man said his blackest friends make him feel excluded. Maybe that's cos you refer to them as your 'blackest friends"
@@diplamatikjuan3595literally. Friends are friends. Not white, not black, not brown, not yellow, not nothing, nothing but friends at least
@@Poopdedoop2 Facts! Drake is a certified weirdo - in many different ways. I always thought that dude was off. I'm glad he's finally being exposed
@@diplamatikjuan3595 so he just says "hey black friends!" I'm sure he's not doing that
@@Poopdedoop2I've had my white friends tell me.... "I'm blacker than you!" People say it all the time
Don't worry, Drake found his true self now. He said he's lesbian now.
nice
😂
😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"You think I didnt have to struggle?? Didn't you hear about the time that I asked for a tuna bagel sandwich and my mom brought home chicken salad??"😂😂
Wait who said this Kendrick which song ?
It’s crazy how easy his come up actually was lmao A classmate basically got him an agent, the agent immediately gets him on a television show & he gets 7 seasons out of it, then he puts out a couple mixed tapes….& boom, J Prince’s son discovers him on social media 😂😂 No struggle AT ALL
@@isitoveryet9525 You thinking that J Prince just discovered him by random is the funny part. You people didn't do enough studying because that's the public story. You see the nice guy look on him and it makes you think he didn't have a street life prior to hip hop. Also, he wrote for Dr Dre before he got signed by J Prince and Cash Money sooo. Just because you're in a tv show doesn't mean that you won't be in the streets. The mafia played that card well
@@SpeakerBoxXx805Trying to convince people Aubrey was in the streets is crazy
@@KExKE people being so against it is the crazier part. 4 months out of the year he was in memphis. People don't know how bad memphis lol
This video age like fine wine 😂😂😂 it just gets better and better every year
Yeh
His dad's prison mate rapping to him on the phone was Drake's first ghost writer
LMAOOO
underrated comment LMAO
I don’t even believe that story. They record those damn phone calls. Proof or gtfo. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
how do you expect him to find prison call recordings from the 90s?@@tavern2468
Changing the thumbnail is crazy😂😭
I was confused, I was like am I alive, I had a wtf moment
i specifically came here to see how many others noticed lol
It’s a fire 🔥 cheat code, I clicked knowing I’ve watched this before
It’s clever
What I find so baffling is that people, with all that we know about how deceptive so many industries can be, _still_ believe that sales = talent.
Drake won the popularity contest, not the talent show.
I'm For Talent The Ability...
YES!
Agreed!
He’s clearly talented as well as popular.
@@RapRants But hes not the best. and its known that he uses ghost writers.
This man is an ACTOR.. remember that
😂😂facts
One of the greatest actors ever being able to maintain the Drake character for so long
he cast himself as "Drake"
2Pac was an actor too what's your point? Ice t, ice cube, Snoop dog, ll cool j etc
@@universalontology that would take a lot of energy....
Drake proved he was a clout chaser to me when all of a sudden he’s with Sexxy Redd, at all of the basketball games, etc., He inserts himself with whatever has the most popularity. Most of the time it’s not that these artists are even good artists…it’s that we get accustomed to seeing them all of the time. They become a household name. Gone are the days when rappers worked hard on their own lyrics and took pride being original.
Amen 🙏🏽
It all started when he was chilling with Ninja on Fortnite
That's kinda what popular rappers tend to do.... Have you not seen Wayne? Kanye? Akon? Eminem? They all do this, it's how you stay relevant
@@SpeakerBoxXx805 Kendrick is really revelant right now and he didn't do any of that tbh. Besides making music for movies
Pusha-T won the feud by bullying Drake into being a father
I wonder how many crack babies and broken families pusha T supposedly made and now he wants people to be fathers
Micah S People who champion women empowerment*
Considering that drake was planning on being in his kids life already and was doing shit for him
All pusha did was revealed it to the public
@@RanMaru144 I mean, Drake was gonna keep his kid a secret for a long time if Pusha T didn't expose the fact that Drake had a child with a stripper
@@patrickracer43 he wanted to keep his kid out of the limelight
People feel like they're entitled to know his life but they don't.
Everyone seems to forget he's an ACTOR.
He's ACTING like a rapper and it's working.
Ding ding ding!!!!!!!!!!!!🤝😭😭😂😂😂😂
Most rappers are actors. I often compare the music industry and rap in particular to professional wrestling. The wrestlers are actually physically throwing each other around, they can still get hurt, it's not a easy thing but...it's a show, it's entertainment. Same with the "rap" industry, sure, some of these guys come from the hood but everything is staged and driven by executives just to make money and in part socially engineer a target audience.
Actually incredible that you thought about this and actually made sense in your head,
Bro just cause someone had a part in a tv show does not mean everything they do is fake.
Someone gets it.
It’s crazy that with the beef going on this video was actually ahead of its time. Jake you’re a creative genius.
Hearing him say my blackest friends is wild 😅
I definitely think Lauryn Hill was the first one to properly combine singing with rapping…
Hi my name is kanye
I agree
🎯🎯🎯🎯
Lauryn Hill did both at a high level. With powerful writing too. I'm always reminded of her song Lost Ones.

@@RUclips-ADMlNyou're better off deleting this sorry @ss attempt at a funny comment😂
The crazy part is not about the thumbnail change, the crazy part is that this man called Drake an actor portraying a rapper, the same thing Kendrick accused him of in this recent beef.
Yes the spell is finally wearing off.. haha.. peep game homie
Noah "40" Shabib. The key in Drake's biggest moves.
Cold Hard Facts!
Yep
W out 40 drake wouldn't be good lol
The true genius behind the sound.
When he croaks Drake is fucked
It’s Drake’s fault he isn’t celebrated as a “black” artist by Afro people. J. Cole is also biracial but he goes out of his way to uplift the community, celebrate the community, and critique the community. So he is celebrated more for his blackness. I don’t think it’s fair for Drake to complain when Drake rarely talks about the community unless it involves hip hop
Why do you need musicians to lift up your community ... you should be able to do that without the voice of a millionaire
people support rappers who talk about the community only if they agree with the rapper's opinion. Otherwise they just drag his name through the mud.
He addressed ur exact point in his recent interview acknowledging that him not speaking up enough plays a role but he also said that he’s always been someone that prefers actually doing things instead of posting about it. Also that he prefers talking about these issues amongst his close friends. I agree with u but I also understand that it’s not for everyone to b outspoken on social media about things yk.
Nah cus he's Canadian
Emmanuel Crepin yeah I’m okay with him not being outspoken and putting in action but to try to throw black people under the bus like we’re not just accepting just because is not cool.
Bro predicted euphoria 💀💀
Actor playing a rapper. Remember that. There’s a reason he’s so good at imitating others. He’s skilled at acting like a rapper. Gotta give him props for that
How is rapping not an act?
Why are so many good actors who turned rappers or so many actors trying to sing/make music not topping the charts?
@@TheSpokenWizard recording a rap is no different than reading lines as a voice actor. It makes sense when you think about it. He’s a great actor aka master manipulator
Drake is the McDonald's of the hip-hop cuisine.
Kendrick is fine dining
Cole is the good home cooked meal
@@cIiffe But they all cost 9.99 ?
@@pastelboys9281 talking about experience not cost
@@cIiffe Oh so I guess its subjective, cause I feel like Drake is fine dining and Kendrick and Cole seem more like a Fat Burger or Mcdonalds. More down to earth
@@pastelboys9281 interesting way to put it
subjective for sure yeah
Drake wouldn’t be where he’s at without his producer. There’s a reason he’s stuck with him for this long.
artists who get big whilst not actually arranging/producing their own music should be seen as part of a team rather than solo. the army of people that work hard to actually write the music don't get enough recognition. rapping is still an impressive skill but it's more genuine when they can make their own tracks too.
You can say that about every artist
@@froogsleegs Most rappers aren’t producers. But the ear is what counts
@@froogsleegs The artist is the star, but yeah you have a point. Some hip hop engineers have also started putting tags on their productions. Usually in hip hop songs, 2-3 people, are involved in the creation of a song…
Um no. There are other deciding factors. Producer is just one.
RUclips decided to recommend this to me after kendrick lamar's euphoria
“We don’t trust him” aged so well lol
With the new album out this video is just a cherry on top
Just here to see ppl’s reaction to drake’s latest album that couldnt have been more generic.
When I heard man say, “I hope it’s different.” I was thinking that aged like milk.
I just thought the same thing. lol
You guys do know that it’s supposed to be a mix of music like his old albums right? He literally put a video of what CLB is supposed to be in December of last year guess everyone just forgot since they’re so ignorant
@@Evolutionbandit1 lolol calling us ignorant but cant even spell they’re correctly
seems like drake is no longer putting effort in his work anymore.. anything he puts out automatically becomes a hit because of streaming services.
Fr I always wonder especially with artists like say Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish.. is their music blowing up cos people love it - or is it because they’re there to “Stan” an artist?

“We Don’t Trust You” @ 15:30
Was dead looking for this comment b4 I posted mine but didn’t run across it til afterwards lol but yea that part
That’s actually crazy
The idea of drake going to see his dad in prison and his dad having him talk to a random ass dude is hilarious to me.
What bullshit!
I feel like his dad was just trying to toughen him up. This man is the softest person I swear.
Dad: "Aubrey, I want to introduce you to a rapper."
*Calls over the first guy he saw freestyling.
I don’t believe this story at all.
@@EtalviaC he’s talked about it on records more than once. No one’s called his bluff on that yet 🤷🏾♂️

And she is lol

Why is it funny that you're calling him a woman? what's the joke, that he's sensitive?
Changing the thumbnail?
Diabolical 😂🤝🏾
Changing the thumbnail 3years later is diabolical.
I think it's crazy that when Drake first started he was viewed as somewhat unique but now all of his music is viewed as some of the most generic music from the last 15 years.
Its cause he dominated the scene; the other musicians followed his style, making it generic.
@@Pyrohawk Stop the cap lmfao
@@Pyrohawk Where you get this lie from?? He the biggest stealer of them all from flows to dances, and the signing rapping wasn't his he not the first to do anything, jumpstart off popular shit
@@Pyrohawk lol dude I’m a fan of drakes music and even I know that line is complete bull shit 🤣
He just sold out bro
@@quizzyquandadon9289 that line is cap, but I would argue that Drake did introduce a “different sound” compared to the rappers around him at the time he blew up. He spoke audibly, and annunciated his words, and he was doing R&B singing, while also rapping. Drake has fallen far but we still need to get him the credit he deserves for the good stuff.
"Numbers don't lie" doesnt mean anything anymore when you can buy album sales/streams.
No way you think drake buys streams
Man really think drake buying streams 💀
which is why Drake writes his bars while taking a shit or gets someone else to do it...
There's always been someway to influence and scam. Nothing is new.
"Numbers don't lie - But they can be manipulated..." - ME!
"Yo bro, he sucks, don't ever play that shit to me again"
Lil Wayne's first instinct was the correct one
😂😂😂
This aged so well ….
drake's best ghost writer is a artist that goes by the name "the weekend"
The Weeknd* (Yes I know, but that's how we XOs do)
I mean, without him, Drake would die in the beginning (I mean he wouldn't blow up as much and start to write and sound a bit better) and vice versa. Without these Take Care features he wouldn't be AS known (he was still making quite some fuss with the mixtapes)
Also got his sound from Mr Partnxdoor

It’s miserable people making them feel that way.
Yea but the problem people have with drake is that he likes to pretend he did have a difficult past when he didn't.
THIS!!!..

What constitutes a hard life? Lmaoo there more struggles to life than hood shit plus his dad was in jail that’s pretty significant
the saddest thing is being a total Drake Stan, relating unbelievably to his early work, the vulnerability, the self-awareness, and then seeing the artist you idolize slowly fade way and give rise to this EveryMan Global SuperStar Grifty TrendHopper Forever Young type of dude. It's a mind fuck and heartbreaking, but a great lesson in maturity I guess
You know what’s so funny bro drake is literally the only person that gets deemed for helping Afro beats uk beats and hopping on styles and putting rappers on. But anytime Jay z did that with kanye rihanna etc and kanye would do that when Travis Scott cudi came up ppl look that in a good way of putting ppl on. Especially Hear in the UK when we don’t get recognized as much for our artist when drake came to section boys concert with skepta instead of being at the brits when he was notimayed is literally a cultrual moment for us. Or when he put on giggs on his album twice . Or when he did a song with headie or Dave 4 years ago before he was famous man eveyeone in the uk actually fw drake for that but ppl in the US get mad at him for putting uk artist on and then get mad when drake says he likes to perform in Uk the most cuz the fans are way more lit which is actually a fact anytime a US artists actually go oversees they get way more love then where they actually stay at .

Idolatry.
my man updated his thumbnail with KDot dropping his diss track Euphoria is CRAZY
I think he’s struggling to find himself again because his current star power kind of strips him of his humanity. He’s become more of a brand than a person and it fucks with him. I’m not a Stan or anything but I feel like he’s just trying to please the fans because he can’t take the criticism he receives imo
Well said 💯
Yeah and i cant imagine the type of canadian politicians drake moves with, rappers talk about how theyre on a no-fly list due to associated with gangs/ murder its crazy drake in an instant gets people cleared. Thats type of reach means you gotta watch what you say. Dude can be canceled for anything at this point but still remains. Interesting video and top comment!
Drake is the Michael Jackson of this generation of hip hop. Im not saying hes that good. Im saying this generation is that fake exploited remade unoriginal and terrible. Nobody on top of this era is living out what their spittin out. Money is the only credibility. What young male artist is making concious struggle music defining an era as a poet? Is the story we tell in 30 years about this era of hip hop really Drake was the one bad apple in a half way decent original genre altogether? Listen to the song 'The city is mine' one more time. Jay was being belittling about his only use for those collaborations and the top spot as a brand. The video was actually quite clever.
@@rhyno8644 you giving him way too much credit. He's not the MJ of anything. He's just Drake
unlike people like Kendrick he has to alter is stylistic ability to become commercial however Kendrick had always been that way and after he became popular, and had not lost his train of consciousness
Can’t believe you didn’t mention that his uncle is Larry Graham, the bass legend that invented the slap technique
David 504 owes his livelihood to drakes uncle. Epico

after listening to take care, nothing was the same, if youre reading this its too late. u cant say his career is 'luck' ur just a hater
@@EIite. Lmao that song is okay, but it still falls victim to the same issues that most mainstream music does. Very repetitive and lyrically simplistic. I think you need to broaden your musical horizons if you think that's the pinnacle of music. Go listen to other genres as well. Maybe some jazz, classical, metal or rock.
@@leoalphaproductions8642 ok sorry for trying to argue
@@EIite.wasn’t half of Take Care taken from The Weeknd? Some of his early stuff was good, not great. He made simple shit, and he still does but at least back then it had some quality and he wasn’t pretending to be an actual weirdo

Well edited but research not so good. Drake took the southern gangster rap sound and gave it a mainstream "face".
There's also the OVO factory technique. He's basically the strongest and most controlling toronto musician. You have no idea the absolute influence he has in Toronto. It's damn near messed up.
I live in Toronto, he only has influence on suburban wannabes from Mississauga and Brampton, what are you saying.. 😂😂
@@essgee4225 WOW!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're Completely right...Roy Woods, Majid Jordan, DVSN, Popcaan, Baka Not Nice & the latest edition Smiley (Makkonen 2.0)
He signs all the Toronto/GTA Talent...features on 1-2 singles for them but then never promotes or pushes their projects to the forefront.
It Seems like Aubrey collects these artists under his OVO Sound roster so he can keep them in his back pocket for when he needs them / doesn't have any competition to deal with when he's back home in the "6ix" (48 laws of power move)
++ The new up and coming Toronto Rappers are dying to get noticed and approved from "Drizzy" or by the main OVO crew, which is pretty fuckin sad to say the least - no one is willing to go against the grain...to reject the "Sound" and forge a new musical force within Toronto.
That's why I fuxked with Tory Lanez & his 1 Umbrella Movement but that shit fizzled as soon as Aubrey neutralized that so called "beef".

Drake is the Apple of the hip-hop scene: it's not that there's anything particularly innovative about him compared to similar artists, but his music is well packaged and regardless of what enthusiasts think about his music, he still gets the most listens when he drops something new, and likely will for a while.

What 😡 top 5 🤬 you smoking on 🤨 kendrick 😐 because my top 5 😎 is drake 🥵 Drake 👹 Drake 🔥 drake 🤪
You should watch the episode of Atlanta titled “Champagne Papi” where they make the point that there is no Drake…
Yooo brooo I always knew everything that Donald put in ATLANTA has meaning what a genius
So that's what that Episode was trying to say??!!!!! 😨🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was just to explain that he was actually mexican
Lmao the one where all the girls take pics with his card board cut out
There is no Drake actually. Just a few dudes who play him as he is a character. I think Craig David is one
drake didn’t start from the bottom
It’s crazy how he’s evolved and morphed into something so sinister and way different than when he first started.
‘You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain’.
Drake goes from "valley girl" to "blaccent" 0 to 100 real quick.
Valley girl loooool
Straight up lol
Never cared for Drake but I can't deny the success he's accomplished is astonishing. I think people are finally seeing for what he is, a copycat.
I don't think he's a copycat he has an appreciation for different areas of Black music & culture (e.g. from the Caribbean, the UK) and is able to reproduce that sound with his own mark imprinted on it I don't think that's a bad thing, that's talent & adaptibility. He is lifting up people from those scenes as well.

@@st6431 he literally stole songs and flows lol sweeterman is a stolen song. the weeknd gave him "take care" and there are plenty other googleable songs and verses drake has stolen.
No he's not. Especially not before 2016. Dude's sound was the most original up until that point. People like you literally just go along with narratives they see on social media.
Drake the type of guy to have a baby by an "adult" actress and still end up with "child" actress allegations.
Drake's writers are the real talent!!!!
I remember when drake first came on the scene I thought he was a fucking legend. Now it just seems the older I get, the more annoyed I get with Drake.
Recently found some shit that seems really sus about his character
Very sus 😂
There’s some sus shit about all rappers tho bro🤣, y’all just wanna sit here and pick a part drakes whole past and lifestyle
@@magic5206 True, there is..but you just want to defend Drake's whole past and lifestyle 😂🤣
@@kadekeyz8431 nah it’s just a fact like all rappers have done some hella sus shit
@@magic5206 yea..but there's videos out there shedding light on the sus activities of Kevin gates, bow wow, Soulja boy, asap Rocky, etc etc so it's not just drake, this video is about Drake.
Tbh I also think it’s possible that the shy, insecure, confidence lacking kid we saw back in ‘08 just grew up & through his success & consistency; largely considered the greatest of his generation - he’s no longer insecure, no longer shy. He’s confident, often coming off as cocky. I think you would be a *FOOL* to think that *anyone* having the success that he’s had/having would still be the same person they were 12 years ago. That shit would *DEFINITELY* go to your head. Idk, I don’t think he should be crucified for it.
Agreed
Was waiting for this fuckin comment!!!! YES YES YES!! The people that hate on him for changing like any human being exposed to that kind of spotlight would, is ridiculous! Much respect to you for spittin the facts my guy!
If you think he’s no longer insecure, you’re not actually listening to his music.
He’s the most insecure rapper in the game.
@@iNostraD maybe not as insecure
Exactly man. People act like you cant evolve and change through experiences. We all do and we cant act like we know what he's been through. Drake is valid, no one is perfect. He kicked some ass too.
BBL Drizzy’s liposuction went bad, that’s why he doesn’t perform shirtless cause A Minor is going to blow chunks on him.
Why are you worried if he’s performing shirtless? Is there a rule somewhere that he has to perform without a shirt?
@@angelweston85 It was a joke...
Watched this like a year ago and I had to come back today
Anyone who was around when Drake first came out, know he made a career off bootlegging 808s and Heartbreak.
Wrong
I was so glad to hear this man mention Kanye and 808 bc people were on his a** about singing and rapping etc and he was the first to really do that (male rapper bc Nicki Minaj has been doing this since 2006.)
Nope
@@StarBoy-bb7wu right.
@@producedbykhireyakeem4340 wrong
Wow I never thought about it like this. Drake is so good at acting that he's playing the role of a rapper in real life? Geez...mind blowing. Give this man an Oscar for his biggest role! Good content right here, I gotta subscribe. Thanks for posting keep up the good work.
Haha so funny😐

This is exactly what I thought at first because I knew him as Jimmy first.
Sounds like or of sort of 'Milli Vanilli ish'

It was me sitting here tryna figure out how the video 3 years old with a euphoria thumbnail…. That chess move is GOATED and this video aged very well!!!!
Bro I want to celebrate YOU in this video. This was an absolute masterclass in video essays. You made the video feel 5 minutes long with how well you kept weaving the story through each part. You nailed it brother. Absolutely nailed it!
Good point. This was a really good vid. People are really evolving with video making and media making in general.
there hit a point where his music wasn't topping the charts because it's good, it was topping the charts because it's drake
hmm...
Facts! 💯
Man you are so right. His latest album is so meh
2016 imo.. views and the songs he released that summer
@@Lazyfoal it’s house music man, not for everyone. Just like Kendrick’s new album, not for everyone

As a biracial person i can say this, we never fit in and thats our burden. We are always gonna be stuck between two cultures and very few people will ever understand.
and you constantly got other people tryna tell you what you are and aren't.
i understand
There’s a lot of mixed people out there
@@lifegoeson1007 yeah but there's people that are just mixed with white people , or just mixed with Asian, or just mixed with black. I think that's not the same as when you are mixed with two very different peoples. In that respect then their languages have almost no overlap, food with no overlap, dance with no overlap. For exame, I know someone that speaks korean, german and English knows all this and other cultural things (history, dance) fluently. That person is like a god between the Korean and German peoples. I know another person who speaks Croatian and Serbian because of their background. While it's political between those Yugoslav people's, this is not a big difference in cultures. Same food, same history sane ideologies but still hate each other. Biracial makes life so complicated because everyone's racist
@@lifegoeson1007 or I should say that people still believe in racism to divide rather than unite.
This is why I could never get behind Drake he has amazing music without a doubt but he just always seemed so fake to me. You can see his demeanour change and him take on a new persona depending on who he’s around. He comes across very insecure and not sure in himself. I do think he gets a hard time tho, everyone clowns him & it always seems like he’s trying to prove himself while trying to act like it doesn’t phase him. I also think the whole situation with Pusha T deffo had a effect on him...that track broke him imo. He just needs to find himself because he IS talented but being honest and bearing your soul goes hand in hand with making a good work of art. He should use his next project as therapy and not as a money grab or something to hide behind...
Everything you mentioned is because he's *an actor* . lol He's been an actor playing a rapper for over a decade.😂
Exactly, well said. He’s stuck in this duality that wants to please these teenage fans and stand vs true artistry.
But don’t you do that when you’re at work or around strangers?
@bobshreder huh
He is very insecure. He was very active in strip clubs and was your typical stereotypical insecure customer. Who wanted a convo and your attention versus a dance and what you usually come to the club for.
I knew of Drake when he was still on Degrassi so I watched him kinda blossom into the artist he is today, and you can definitely see that he just wants to fit in, especially since with his brand he can become the leader of the trend he is copying
this video aged well
he's not a culture vulture, he's a colonizer 😂
Drake went from nothing was the same to everything is the same
Good one.😁
Hahahaha
Ja rule was singing the rap way before Drake
Also Nelly, no one ever gives him credit for his influence on hip-hop
Ceelo, andre 3000, Kanye, t pain, lil wayne, Lauryn Hill.. but yea I feel you
Ja rule mixed it with rapping. Drake did a whole song singing.
The media is slow minded and arrogant when it comes to black artists but mixed people get way too many passes when it comes to art and 🎵.
Don't forget Nelly
"the evil u know is better than the evil you don't". That's powerful
video aged like fine wine. thumbnail change be awesome too.
shoutout jake zeeman fr he never disappoints
Never
this was a disspointment all his points about drake are dumb and hes not changing he just using inspired flows to make better art
mike media inc. dude change is inevitable. And how did he not provide valid points. It’s expected that he is not as hungry as once was but what about the interview of his dad being in his life. What about the fact that in the beginning of his career he was seen as soft and not thuggish but now he’s all hard. Like his dad said, it’s because it sells. And there’s nothing wrong with using inspirations in your art. Drake ain’t bad bro but like the title said, this is his “best role yet.”
cache well said, this guy is just a wanna be Anthony Fantano watch his vids😂
Luesick how is being a music reviewer make me like Anthony fantano he didn’t invent music criticism
i feel the money he has made plays a big part in his newer “persona”. A lot of other things we will never know about.
Yea money like that brings a lot of power wether people like it or not. And we know for a fact that Drake does keep some goons around him. Chubbs, Preme, Baka Not Nice, Fif who was gunned down a few years ago. We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.
Yea I think he needs to reconsider what being a rapper means to him, his latest project doesnt really stand out and it seems he just wants to make money nowadays, so I hope he can come back later with a new perspective on things and a project that actually means something

Get that bag bro you were so ahead of the curve... Also revisited the illmatic video
Update: the part where you said "we don't trust him" hits different with future and metro's album out 😂
I never liked or listened to Drake from day one. He was a walking case of fraud even without having knowledge of Degrassi. It’s funny how people switch sides after their lack of intuition 😧👈🤣
I think there is no way someone would not change after 12 years of being the biggest artist on the planet. The industry is tough and drake probably just grew with his success, but I won't deny we definitely need old drake back
True but he hasn't changed recently. It wasn't explicitly stated in this video only implicitly but his last few albums have all been about him party and hooking up with models/pornstars and how that's affecting his life. As someone else put it, he hasn't grown up these last 5 years or so and that's starting tk show more and more the longer it goes on for
@TheMilk Trafficker I think the reason Drake has been the biggest artist over the last 12 years , is not because his music is fantastic, it is just incredibly inoffensive. Someone like Kendrick Lamar makes better and more thought provoking music, but you can not just play his music anywhere. This does not invalidate the amazing music produced over the last decade making it "forgettable", it just means Drake makes music that appeals to a much wider audience
I hate when people wish for somebody to return to their old self like were not allowed to grow
@@colebanville3372 then he's not the biggest "artist"... Just the biggest product
@@colebanville3372 true everyone readily accepts the weak ass, sensitive, ain't gone do 💩, doesn't look threatening black man. That's the only way "they're " going to accept it.
