Amazing breakdown. I would add though- a lot of his appeal with your white male audiences is that the artists or genre is based on his perceived embrace by the black community (the font of most youth culture). My guess is we start to see his appeal fall off in the next 18-24 months
You are absolutely right, thanks for your insight. And while he's at it, he doesn't mind burning down the industry that propped him up. A true colonizer
Watching the transformation of Drake, first having his primary fanbase being young black women and now having it be young white men has been a wild journey.
@@absafcknlutely Yes, thank you for pointing this out. I'm so tired of bm saying bw made Drake famous. Bw don't okay anyone until bm do. And yes, Drake doesn't even seem to like bw, he wants a nonblack woman
@mariab2642 why do you talk about being team drake like it's something positive, haven't you seen the way he talks and treats black women? Why would you be against kendrick, someone who's clearly on your side and shining a positive light on black females. He's recent album he was talking about no white comedian should be talking in a disrespectful way about black women. You're litteraly betraying one who wants what's best for you for someone who doesn't even care about your situation and only wants you to use you. Kendrick ain't paying for youtube channels, he's message is pretty clear and only sleepy heads like you are still lost. Wake up, you're on the wrong side of history
This is so on point. So many people are discussing his recent moves from the perspective that Drake still cares about his position in music and rap, but the beef and past few years of his career should help make it clear that he doesn’t. What’s most disappointing is that you will very likely be proven correct: this will work as a business pivot. I hadn’t considered this perspective before, but it all makes sense. I hope more hip hop commentators catch on to this so that they aren’t totally caught off-guard 2 years down the road. Also, man, I continue to feel sorry for Adonis in all this and hope he’s finding some proper influences. He’s growing up under a man who refuses to mature
I've been trying to put my finger on the vibes your videos have and I just figured it out. You give cozy college professor vibes ❤️. Feels like I'm taking a course on cultural appropriation.
I agree with your assessment. This goes to show everyone that he never cared for his music. It was just a ploy to get rich and famous. He milked as much of the urban (mainly black) culture as he could, now he will milk his other side the white demographic. Excellent work 👍
@@hectorornelas8306 good he will be up against other talented male artists like Bruno mars, the weeknd, bad bunny 🐰 and Drake will face true competition
@ Very true. That’s the genre he started off in if I remember correctly, but he didn’t have the same talent as Bruno mars imo. He can’t hit high notes all he has is melodies. Wonder how it will play out.
So the rich, narcissistic, hip hop culture vulture, still acting actor,is really ready to run with the streaming platformers and gambling industry! What a time to be alive!
Drake was warned not to go down this road. Not only did he do it but had the nerve to challenge Kdot who is the embodiment of the culture. As my mother used to say "A hard head makes a soft butt!"
That was only a term used by people outside of the culture. People in the know. Know that 50 wasn't the reason Ja fell off. His record label's legal issues were. Outsiders, like the fanbase that Drake is now targeting, took the 50 narrative and ran with it because they don't care about the nuances of the culture or the truth. They are just immature fools.
"The overseas fans don't care that he lost. To them, the beef was just theatre like WWE, and they want more." The MCs local to those areas have a golden opportunity to ruin Drake's day.
Brazilian here. Some of us have been not liking Drizzy since like 2017, when he was reported being a bit of an ass at the Lollapalooza. Now, though, it's much bigger
Me looking at the Top 10 most streamed artists *Stares* Who's Zach Bryan? Is he a Disney kid? And who's Morgan Wallen? It's crazy how someone can be one of the most popular artists and still be completely unknown in some circles.
This was me and Drake. Lol. I never heard a song until he challenged Kendrick. Well, more accurately I heard his first song and then wrote him off for 15 years.
If that's the goal, then it's ingenious. That demographic does not care about anything outside of what's meme able. He will be able to expand his reach, entrench himself in this audience and "troll" anyone he desires without scrutiny because it's for the "lulz". Burning the industry down only adds to his mystic. If he wins, he is the one to "take down" the industry to his new fanbase. A rebel who raged against the machine and won. That demographic doesn't do any inkling of research nor do they care about hip hop so he doesn't have to worry about someone fact checking him. Even so, he can simply deem them a "hater" and disregard them. If he loses, then it just generates buzz into what he plans on doing next. He can also spin this into him taking on the system as an increase to his authenticity to his new audience. Again, they don't research shit. All they see are headlines and the narrative that he's going to create. He's just not creating an echo chamber. He's creating an echo kingdom where he can control his narrative to his own audience of young, ignorant sycophants. A kingdom where he will no longer be shunned again. He won't be an outsider. He will no longer be a man without a country. He will be a king of the cheerful blind. Lucrative in its ways, but vapid and ultimately empty. It's as ingenious as it is pathetic.
Glad to see this take. I side eyed the hell out of him when I heard he popped up on XQC’s channel. Uncritical, young males who have overlap with Andrew Tate aren’t going to care about his track record.
I really dig these breakdowns. While watching this I was going back and forth with whether drake's whole journey has to do with him struggling with his identity or if he's just been a soulless business man all about money the whole time. I think it may be both. The cover art for The Story of Addidon kept popping up in my head. The fact that he'd use his own son to make money and play it off as a heartfelt dedication speaks volumes. Pusha T and Kendrick really sized him up well. Australia seems like a perfect place for drake. He could probably continue his rap career there too, considering they think Raygun is good enough at breakin' to compete in the Olympics.
Great theory,and I think you’re on the right track about Drake’s new grift. The only mistake he made was timing. He should have started this rebrand 10 years ago 🤷🏾♀️ also this is my first time catching one of your videos and I’m absolutely subscribing, Queen 🥰
The only thing you said that I disagree with is that Drake no longer cares about being accepted by the culture. I believe he has accepted defeat BUT he definitely still cares. I think he will always care about how he was dethroned. This incident will haunt him for many many years.
you hit this on the nail. very parallel to current events outside of music. the on going challenge of culture existing and thriving within an established system highlighted by 2 influential individuals who both represent vastly opposing goals.
God I love my people!! Absa, I’m so glad I found you randomly!!! Your talking points, narrative and very structured syllabus are incredible l!!! Love your videos!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
And Drake has more respect for yt males, more than he has ever had respect for black males. I believe it started with Dennis, then the fact that rappers didn't accept him when he first came out here to the USA....yeah...he don't like black males(bw were never truly on his radar)
His core audience is growing older and his music is becoming more irrelevant with that demographic. He's creating a new audience with a demographic that will resonate with the subject matter of his music.
Hit the nail on the head 100% 🎯 I’ve been saying the same thing! He knows for a fact he’s completely lost the culture now, he’s going to shift focus and let his white side flourish. He’s not like us and doesn’t care, he has a new target audience from this point forward
SUBBED. Incredible. I’d love to hear what you think Drizzy’s new content will be about considering he has to appeal to a different, more incelly, often alt-right (IMO) audience. Fascinating how artists will wave ride black culture yet eventually try to distance themselves from said culture. Kid Rock, ever last, Andrew Shultz…
It's smart but it grosses me out on a deep level. It's unsettling. He gives me the feeling of watching a maggot move. I wish I had a better comment but the more you explained the bigger my repulsion grew.
First off, you’re an absolutely AMAZING speaker/presenter! I could listen to you talk or give a lecture for hours just because your tone, pacing, enunciation, diction and LOGIC are enlightening and a pleasure to listen to. Amazing breakdown. I totally see/pick up what you’re saying and think you’re on to something I haven’t heard ANYONE else on RUclips say. Kudos to you!
I had a feeling Drake’s ties with stake wasn’t solely for the money, but you took the words right out of my mouth before I could even think of a syllable lol. AVAA
This was on point!!! And by suing UMG he can say he was "blackballed" and they made him stop making music..so now he can use that excuse for why he fell off.
I knew he was up to something I just couldn't pin point it and you broke it down fantastically. I want it to fail for him but it will work as he knows exactly what he's doing. He has always been entertainment first and has always been accessible to his audience. Thanks for the video
I truly appreciate your take on this. I didn’t think about it that way but it’s truly spot on. He’s going to have to have a plan after this as well because I can see him aging out of that space quickly. He’s already beyond the range. 🤷♀️
If Drake is going to (most likely) succeed in this plan the big name cultural commentators need to avoid actively discussing Drake especially w/o a critical lens. This IS possible (see: Tekashi 69 coverage (and lack thereof) pre and post snitching and how that affected his career). I don't say this out of allegiance to some cause, I say it because these same commentators praised "Watch the Party Die" and other songs sharing the same message. This is how you make that happen. ...Now with that said, immediately after the beef I heard the words "He just needs to make more good music he will be fine" repeated ad nauseam in every recap I watched so I guess folks don't want him to go away lol. Drake knows the influential voices in the game will only critique him in terms of "realness" so why should he care?
@@absafcknlutely I don't mean for anyone to *stop* Drake from doing anything, it's just to *signal* that "Okay, you go over there and stay there". Introducing some level of meaningful consequence. Right now it's just going to be "You go over there, btw what are you up to today?". From what I understand 69 still makes money in some markets, so I'd never think you can make someone "go away" just like that, especially not someone at Drake's magnitude
As he is in the process of being excised from hiphop culture, Drake gone metastatic. As long as some demographic is pliable and corruptible he'll take root
The xQc co-stream was an obligation bc Drake & xQc are both under huge Stake gambling contracts. Edward Craven owns Stake and made the Kick platform in response to gambling streams being banned from Twitch. Craven does seem to be able to dictate that Drake streams from time to time
This is a quite a good video and analysis. Well put together. Drake is doing what a few artists have done here in my country. When we dont like your music or you, you head of elsewhere when people will love your music more 😂. I remember a girl band did this in the 80s by going to Japan where they did very well. Hes a smart cookie!
Absolutely!!! Spot on. There's a shameless, trolling energy that can be very lucrative if you know how to do it. Unfortunately, trump is the prototype for that kind of behavior.
This is very interesting and insightful. I wonder if UMG, Spotify or iHeart can derail his pivot out of spite. Cant see them making it easy for him after these petitions. Either way im glad hes out of the culture.
@ 💯 agree. There is a film called Killing Zoe and someone describes the experience of being on heroin as being a bad windshield wiper brushing up against reality’s windscreen. That’s how I see Drake. He’s just - holy crease moose is he ever fecked up.
Imagine being a forty year old man, who is not aging well, marketing his ‘talent’ to 18-24 yo males…it is creepy… the cartoon-like concert flyer, announcing it the same day Kendrick announced his, tells me that for someone with a plan to do outside of hip hop, there definitely is some one sided competition happening. 🤷🏻♀️
Kinda unrelated but my mom for a time was watching 11 HOUR LONG AI GENERATED CONTENT about the beef shes now on P Diddy even though that story has been quiet for some time but they still find a way to make it 11 HOURS
nooo there are so many real channels making that content, if she wants 11 hours she could just watch a few deep dives from different channels! don't let her fry her brain with AI generated shit 😣
This was a spectacular breakdown. He’s trying to go from a crashout, to a cashout.
Amazing breakdown. I would add though- a lot of his appeal with your white male audiences is that the artists or genre is based on his perceived embrace by the black community (the font of most youth culture). My guess is we start to see his appeal fall off in the next 18-24 months

He's definitely a colonizer 14:24
Is this his version of a Rat Pack - plus nefariousness - existence? Gambling and debauchery?
Drake isn't Rat Pack level.
@ 💯 agree. There is a film called Killing Zoe and someone describes the experience of being on heroin as being a bad windshield wiper brushing up against reality’s windscreen. That’s how I see Drake. He’s just - holy crease moose is he ever fecked up.
Imagine being a forty year old man, who is not aging well, marketing his ‘talent’ to 18-24 yo males…it is creepy… the cartoon-like concert flyer, announcing it the same day Kendrick announced his, tells me that for someone with a plan to do outside of hip hop, there definitely is some one sided competition happening. 🤷🏻♀️
Kinda unrelated but my mom for a time was watching 11 HOUR LONG AI GENERATED CONTENT about the beef
shes now on P Diddy even though that story has been quiet for some time but they still find a way to make it 11 HOURS
nooo there are so many real channels making that content, if she wants 11 hours she could just watch a few deep dives from different channels! don't let her fry her brain with AI generated shit 😣
Its a smart move but i hope it fails miserably
oh it's working. there wouldn't have been a second stream if it weren't.
