Not only did Kendrick never claim to be a gangster, he wrote an entire album about what it was like growing up in Compton trying to avoid becoming a gangster.
I still can't believe he said that out loud. Yall better get this colonizer out of rap for good. I say "yall" because I'm watching this shit as an outsider, essentially. I've never listened to Drake but have always hated him. Something about him never sat right in my Spirit, and now we know what those somethings are.
@@MaynardsSpaceshipsame. i'm 23, i remember when comeback season came out.. i didn't even like it as a _kid._ but my parents raised me on ATCQ, Pac and Herbie Hancock. 😭
@songbird9444 eminem was only one to stand up to suge knight back in the day. Also pistol whipped a bouncer and pulled gun on dude that was messing with his wife . Even went to court over it all.
@@YungJules001 Well no shit. Drake aint scary but the people he clings to are. J Prince primarily. Man steps in almost any time Drake is having issues from the looks of it.
Too late for that wave. Maybe in hindsight he thinks about it. If he try to flip now it’s definitely a wrap. He just need to leave. He made some dope songs early on but he corny now.
wearing black face lol ! clearly drake ddnt like black folks when he was growing up, you can see some of his old clips with his family how he was talking about the way "they" talk is ignorant while eating dinner with his family .. ooof homie might have to stay in canada and not come back to the states
This is the corniest black dude I’ve come across online trynna make threats and diss Drake while not realizing he’s describing himself the whole video lol. Without video, you’d think this was a white guy.
Yes Jews are good business people 😉🙃 They use and Exploit whatever to get the deal no matter if its oher marginalized groups because they hate that anyone could have suffered more than them and still be happy and successful like the African diaspora.
@@passportpimpin3676 no, that literally isn't true. Did you bother to look it up? He was defending Xxxtentacion because they were removing all black artists on Spotify who had a "controversial " past (they were gonna remove prince, micheal Jackson, marvin gaye an a few others) rather they did the time for it but didn't remove ANY white artists for the same controversies. Literally was Spotify being racist. Rkelly was never mentioned by kendrick or anyone in his camp. So he said if they start removing black artists he would remove his music. There is literally a video of X thanking kendrick for defending him.
@@crowing3886Spotify wasn’t actually going to remove any artists from their platform. They were just going to stop putting certain artists in their promoted playlists fwiw
The year was 2013. I was/am a single dad with the baby mama drama. First job begins at 3AM. Then after 12:30PM I go home, take an hour nap, then head to my second job which goes from 3PM to 11PM. Days off I get my son for visitation. I hear "Started From the Bottom" played by one of the dudes as the second job. I'm working like this not just to pay for rent and other expenses, but to invest and save for my son's future, save up for a house, pay for family trial attorneys. . .all that. "Started from the bottom now I'm here." I check out the video the next day. In it Drake is working late nights at a drug store; his mom kicked him out; but he's worked his way up. "Started from the bottom now the whole team's fucking here." Not only did he make it, but he pulled his boys -- his close friends -- with him. . .maybe understanding that his wealth/fame was kind of a lucky stream that he could share with those who were with him when he had nothing. I'm a little pumped. I'm tired from working. I don't know if it's going to work out. But this "started from the bottom" now he's here. . .driving around light Canadian snows in a convertible like it's a modern day sleigh early in the Christmas season. But the video misses a few things. He gets the little promotion at the drug store, but it doesn't show shit about taking it from there. Like, he didn't take the raise, pay for a demo, keep working at the store while he bounced around from one shitty club to another. . .getting booed, wondering if he was going to make it, anything like that. He just goes from the store to making $500,000 per show. What was the process? I scrutinize a little more. He's smoking cigars AND wearing the freshest hip hop fashion like a fat cat. No dude who really WORKED his way through humble beginnings would carry that boast. . . not when talking about one's struggles. Then his mom: She's a well-to-do Jewish lady, pictured in front of some McMansion. That's no "bottom"; hardly anyone with a Jewish mom knows the bottom. Oh. . .and this is Canada: free healthcare, cheap education, a massive economic 'safety net', and no places like Compton, New Orleans, the Bronx, Atlanta, Chicago's southside, Detroit, Oakland, etc. Just a nation of some of the 'most polite people on Earth.' Now I'm taken even more back, especially because he keeps using the N-word in the song, despite the fact he's only half-Black. Like maybe he shouldn't have his N-word Pass revoked, but to abuse it so thoroughly and repeatedly. . .I mean, am I crazy? He written anything about being Jewish? I'm still trying to give the dude a pass, if just for the story of the struggles that I don't know -- like maybe he was lost after his mom kicked him out and shit like that -- then I see he was a child star on some stupid TV show. . .no doubt something that his mom helped him to secure. (Just found out that his Uncle, mentioned in the song, is some big-time media guy, too.) Complete utter fraud. . .with more privilege and wealth than anyone I grew up with, Black, white, Apache, Mexican, Iranian, etc. But he still speak of himself 'heroically'. . ."From the Bottom." Dude lost me very quickly. To this day I still can't see how so many people were taken by him, not seeing through his bullshit, and being turned off as a result.
Then u learned that he didn’t write any of his own songs after the first 3 mixtapes other than a few diss tracks bc he realized he can do nothing and sing ghost-written songs
I am also a Canadian and as a teenager I used to watch this guy on Degrassi get bullied lol. Then all of a sudden it's like I go to sleep, wake up and he's hard??!! WHEN
LMAO Montrealer here and I thought the same thing. Especially after hearing " worst behavior" I thought what is he talking about. I felt he was kind of miss placed but ppl came for my neck.
Drake hangs out with younger artists so that he can push his music to the newer audiences it’s how he’s been able to stay relevant and he’s not the only rapper to do it. Kanye makes music with people more than half his age and a lot of other artist go to new talent to make a relevant track.
@@swaswag75042dude stop it. More kids listen to bbl drizzy than kanye west. They dont even know about college drop-out . Kanye was a producer and thats why he worked with many ppl. Thats the difference
The bigger problem is the way Black people black community hip-hop culture/community promote themselves. Hip-hop community has been shady for a while and we don’t do nothing to stop it but we waste our time going after guy who name is Drake but playing the system? The biggest problem is that what we think is blackness there’s a big problem in the black community on how we promote what black is and it is a big problem in the African-American community in the US instead of promoting blackness in a positive flag we promoted more negative , sorry , victimize etc light. in the type of meter that we push of what blackness is even telling somebody that they are not black enough, that is just going to make it so easy for somebody to turn blackness into an extremist mindset and picture. I’m not saying Drake is not completely at fault , he could’ve, of course kept it real, been himself so he would of get less hate, knowing what hip-hop culture is would he have ve been that much popular and looked as black. This wasn’t just towards Drake, but also to people who have similar issues or who is maybe not American but maybe black would’ve not considered black because black America want to black as being nigga than being actually black. Because I believe being black is just you being yourself and you just so happen to be black . It’s not that hard, but clearly a big problem in black America and black and all the part the world, but it’s not that bad in other part of the world but a big issue in America in some sort. And I think clowning on on that issue it’s not gonna help the black community and the hip-hop culture at the same time. We should take this seriously and find a way to actually help instead shamming, telling them to womp womp because that’s how it happens. We know that the hip-hop culture is somewhat gatekeeping. And I feel like people forget that Drake is half African-American and half white. and I’m pretty sure in the past Drake actually cared about the hiphop culture, but he overcomplicated shit that is not good on his part. and I think him trying to get to know his black side wasn’t even going to work out knowing how ignorant the black community is most of the time. The less ignorant we show in the black community the less of this will actually happen. Then, if Drake is a culture vulture, then basically everybody who likes anything that is not originate from black also culture vulture as well?, which is why I don’t like the culture vulture or gatekeepers trend because it’s a little bit double standard ish and hypocritical . Hip-hop can be good and send positive messages, etc. but the way hip-hop is looking like you can’t release to be surprised of how this whole thing happened. This is just a neutral take I’m not Drake fan , so no trolling. I’m just put my spin on this , I like call out double standard and hypocrisy etc.From Uk Now,I hope somebody gives me a reasonable reply and discussion instead of being trollish and bias.
#2 culture vulture. #1 will always be Kid Rock. He up in a millionaire suburb, tried or hip hop, didn't work so did the nu metal thing. Fast forward he pretend like he's always been some blue collar, rags to riches southerner. Spent most of his youth taking about cops being pigs and now sports patriot gear and blue lives crap. I hate him.
I can’t believe that’s actually a real clip like how did this go under the radar when did he say this I was shocked when I heard it I’m like it’s no way this is real and it’s so real let a rapper say something like this about his Jewish people watch how they disappear and have no career
@@redhunnid5142 If a black rapper says "well my most Jewish friends...." you think that is a career ender? This guy really believes theres a "Jewluminati" lmfao
@@Owen2108 It's relevant because Drake is Jewish. The example is Kanye. They shut him down quick with all his deals. It's more of a wealthy lobby in America vs. the "Jewluminati." Is Lucian Grainge Jewish? You tell me.
- "Befriended" Millie Bobby Brown when she was only 14 and she even admitted that they "hang out" sometimes. He was in his 30s. - "Befriended" Billie Eilish when she was only 17 and he was in his mid-30s. - Dated Haily Baldwin (now Bieber) when she was 19 and he was in his 30s. She even said that they've known each other for "a long time" when she was only 14. - Hooked up with Kylie Jenner when she was 22 when they've known one another since she was 16 (he even performed on her birthday). - Dated Bella Harris when she just turned 18, but photos and videos of them being extremely close and hanging out together in festivals and concerts are posted in Bella's IG since she was 16 years old and he was 29. He even rented out an entire restaurant in her 18th birthday. - He dated Jorja Summers when she was only 19 and he was in his mid-30s. - He kissed and gropped a fan ON STAGE, not bothering to ask her age nor her consent. She was only 17 at the time. So, uhh, Drake's always been a fucking creep. Even the people around him are known for being disgusting people (Baka Not Nice, DJ Eric, J Mulan, and freaking Karl Malone).
Don't forget about his weird "support" for a Highschool Female Basketball Team and following up with Certain team members on social media, reaching out in their DMs....you know, for support? That shit was probably the Weirdest one for me
Drake has (allegedly) paid so many people to hurt and threaten rap rivals. What he did to that kid who wrote for him for free was crazy. He jumped a kid for asking to be paid and acknowledge for his work. That boy idolized him, was from the same city. And he (allegedly) put that boy in hospital… disgusting.
Same, I think i was 12 or 13 when he first started taking off. My bully loved Drake and my Naive mind thought if my pos bully loves drake, drake must be a pos also 🙊 I wonder how he feels about all this
I think drake has a place but it's more like a pop musician with ghost writers. He's def an actor and one of those ppl trying way too hard and it rubs me the wrong way.
Yeah because he's light skinned, and he's talking about how he sometimes feels like he's not black enough for them. Something all mixed race people can relate to
@@ZDXP84 There is though. That's his entire point. If he said "darkest skinned friends", would you have understood it better? That's what he's getting at
Drake was better when he first came out. It felt more authentic when his raps were more introspective. It feels like his music is getting younger as he’s getting older.
Okay, I confess that when Drake first debuted, I liked his music. But, after a while, I didn't really follow his songs or albums anymore. And I'm glad I did. 😂
I've literally been saying this since the first time I heard him rap. Which wasn't even a song, it was the damn Sprite commercial. I was on a life mission to watch his downfall after that, lol.
bobby brown is whitney Houston's husband in real life and he beat whitney houston. midrick lamar's "wife" is whitney .its a double entendre about midrick beating his wife. midrick stans can't comprehend lyrics LMFAOO
Cant forget “i’m too rich and famous to be doing that weird shit” like drake have you never heard of epstein, cosby, weinstein, R kelly, karl malone(who he actually took a picture with), and any of the countless other celebrities who have horrific shit literally and figuratively locked in their basement
in the end, drake's a product, he wants to do pop he acts pop, he wants to look from the hood he acts like it, he will eventually have a crisis for not knowing who he actually is beyond his musical marketing
What’s even crazier is no matter how much you call PDF Drizzy a popstar he doesn’t accept it he calls himself the greatest rapper of this generation and has said multiple times he is a better MC short for lyricist than Kendrick Lamar a countless number of times during interviews
Im african american myself, i grew up in a lower middle class suburb myself, nothing hood, but far far far from wealthy at all. We struggled a lot, sick father, mom eventually got medical issues too. Ive never acted street myself neither, never held a firearm, never touched drugs, just a regular dude lol.
only diff between you and drake is he was in the upper middle class and if either of his parents were to get sick, they would have enough money to get treatment. respect to you tho brother.
@@demontimen1gga819HUGE difference between this dude and Drake lmao. Not just the money, but Drake using his influence to attempt to fit into the “hood scene” and fit into something he obviously doesn’t come from in order to make the most money and get the most credit. I have immense respect for those who don’t need to use violence or wealth to get in where they fit in regardless of race. Imagine trying to do this with military service, it’s called stolen valor. And that’s basically what Drake’s doing but has become a monster on that pursuit. Respect OP, for just being you.
The vast majority of black dudes I've met have been like that too, I'm Latino myself, but from a similar background from a diverse neighborhood and most of us just wanted to play sports and video games lmao

What is crazy to me is that only now people care that he is fake. Like people have been calling out his antics since he graduated degrassi high, but we were just called haters back then. So I would like to thank Knedrick for validating what all us haters were saying the about the last 15 or so years.
It just took a critical mass of people. Previously ppl were expressing dissatisfaction with Drake desperately in small groups over many years, so it wasn’t enough of a population of people to make an impact on his public perception.
As an x drake fan from scorpion time I have to say that I wish I seen a clip from degrassi bc I never did and honestly still have never seen a episode I was hypnotized by take care
For real! I feel so vindicated in my group friend circle! From the beginning I never liked Drake and I put up with being called a hater for years 😂😂. Now everyone just start laughing when they see me because I talk my shit and all they can say is you was right all along! 😅😂😂
I’m a black visual artist who grew up in a nice house in the suburbs, never missed a meal, and had two parents who made sure I was always taken care of and had the money to do so. You would literally never catch me saying I “started from the bottom”. I never talk about my current success without thanking my parents and mentors for encouraging me and giving me the tools I needed. I had my own particular black struggles being the “token” and having health issues as a kid. But it’s like Drake doesn’t really know how to have a black identity without pretending to be a particular stereotype or a particular idea he has about what black people are like and in the process he completely misses the entire point of everything and just feels like an empty shell of an “artist” trying on other peoples identities rather than figuring out his own to me.
1000% on point. If he had integrity he would be open about his real upbringing, like you or Issa Rae. It’s also ridiculous bc the internet has existed during all of Drake’s stardom, so it’s so easy for anyone to Google or even Wikipedia Drake and immediately see that he’s a huge f0cking poser 😅
Agreed!!!!!!!! Being a “ cul da sac gangsta” is just such bizarre way to live life. I too grew up privileged, but it does not take away from my identify of being an African American Women.
Drake made a music video called Gods Plan where he’s saying it’s gods plan that he is mega rich and successful and whilst handing out money to people that evidently have to suffer in gods plan in their lives whilst receiving pennies from him almost like he’s God himself. People are so stupid that they watched that display and thought he made it for any reason apart from the reality which was just to make himself look good. It was one of the most distasteful things I’ve ever seen.
Ur missing the point the whole point of God's plan was to bless the city from that struggle...he's not considering himself God cuz he's making a city wealthy but he's helping them relieve from that struggle that's God's plan
People tend to pick a favorite artist based on how much they identify with them (ye fans are as manic/outspoken, thugger fans love the zest, barbs are as manic/petty, etc...). Drake fans will NEVER admit he's a fraud until they come to terms with their own insecurities.
Drake fans are just like Drake, they don’t understand hip hop, they worship a pop artist and really are befuddled as to why so many people hate dislike Drake. They’re argument for Drake being the GOAT is the amount of streams and Billboard charting… which is how you measure pop music. They don’t admit he’s a fraud because they legit don’t believe he’s a fraud, they ride with him the same way Beyoncé or Taylor Swift fans would ride, unconditional love, forgiveness, and die hard loyalty. All the things that you can’t stand about them is what they think makes them good fans, they’re just in the wrong genre of music.
@@cttp1318it’s very funny you said this I literally had a conversation with one of my homies who’s a huge Drake fan and the first thing he brought up with album sales. One of the most frustrating conversations.
The worst part is the way most Toronto slang is used *is* ignorant. It's teenage white boys putting on a persona that they conglomerated from several other cultures that they deem cool. To my knowledge, which includes having been to Toronto multiple times, no one ACTUALLY has that accent in real life, you only see it online and probably in high schools. AND it sounds terrible. But drake saying it is crazy because he literally cosplays jamaican every other song. Like YOU ARE THE IGNORANCE brother
Aubrey did that to Wayne out of spite and retaliation for telling him what to do (whitch was the truth). Cuz Aubrey already saw Wayne as lesser than, he saw Wayne's position at that time as a "goal" for "Drake". If you get what im saying. Aubrey never really had respect for Wayne just knew he was a useful tool to get into the Rap game etc, like he did the others. ATO (Aubrey the owl) showed Wayne who he really was & how he felt about him in that moment. Wayne was probably too hurt and didn't want to see Drake for who he really is(Aubrey). Like a parent when they find out their golden child is a evil POS who starts to treat them bad. Classic denial. IMO. That's why Kendrick brought that up.
Hopefully the culture learns to not let another Drake happen again. There isn't always going to be a Kendrick Lamar and half of current hip hop artists to save the culture next time.
Drake is a classic example of what happens to you when you live inside of a bubble where everyone is too scared to risk upsetting you because you pay their bills, if this guy had any real friends they would ridicule and mock him relentlessly, that's how it generally happens in male friend groups when one of your friends is out of touch. This guy has been lied to by those who are supposed to protect him, i guess that's the trouble when you don't have real friends, they just gonna lie to get to the bag, and who can blame em
Let's put a stop to this sob story....he is a slime ball behind the scenes who plays the victim in public. Go do your research on his beefs with various artists esp the Weeknd. He whines about not having any friends in the industry when he is completely trash as a person. Don't blame others not to get along with him. He doesn't have a genuine bone in his body. He makes moves only to benefit himself (covert narcissistic behaviour disguised as altruistic in nature). People/artists see through that, some quickly others take time.
Even as a nigga that used to fw Drake's music, you can tell he used to get bullied a lot... I mean, I've never seen a (seemingly) well-adjusted artist act the way Drake's been acting & moving the past decade. Like, his vibe screams "where my hug at?"
@@nickjones5495not for many. Also there’s nothing to be humbled about if you get bullied for no reason which happens a lot lol. Some would say it makes your worse lmao
@@Kahmalwastaken it shows. Not only is the photoshop impeccable, but you also had the Nothing Was the Same cover reference. Clearly a lot of thought went into it.
Perhaps the word choice of “blackest” indicates Drake struggles with his own level of blackness, even thinking about it in forms of a scale or spectrum rather than an inherent, absolute trait
Drake is mixed he thinks he's not really black cause he's mixed Imo. In family matters he said you scared of being seen with anyone blacker than you. Cringe lyrics but I think that supports my theory
Hip hop truly is dead when the “greatest hip hop artist” of today: fakes being “from the hood”, doesn’t write his own lyrics AND has fake abs! So glad I was a teen in the 90’s when we had true artists with genuine talent.
Right. They jail all the gangsters or kill them. So now you can use a Canadian Jew to be the face of gangster rap in the USA. He talks like he went to private school.
R/drake literally almost made me throw up, they call us “nerds” and that were “stiff necked” for the mere fact that people are finally waking up to drakes bulls*it. I even read a guy that listened to Wah Gwan Delilah 20 times and hated it until he coped himself into thinking it’s a fire song. wtf is wrong with these dudes.
do you mean r/drizzy? you can almost smell the glaze when entering lol, drake drops 2 completely dogwater collabs right after taking a massive L against kendrick - go, see the comments on yt and everyone is clowning it - but the glazers in the subreddit play mental gymnastics in a way i've never seen before to make it seem a genius move. Some people are hopeless. Drake fans, much like Drake himself, bask in delusion and fooling themselves away from reality
It also doesn’t help that Reddit is full of white people and the r/Drizzy sub is full of his white fans crying racism because of the claims. They’re extremely ignorant and have a large case of fomo for a culture that’s not theirs 😭
Even worse people from there flooded the R/KendrickLamar, pretending to be Kendrick fans saying praising Drake for his disses. Those people are extremely pathetic and beyond delusional, even today they still think Drake won or pulling bs like it's a draw, coping from the fact that their idol lost, even going for bs like Drake made Kendrick because he gave him a shout-out on his tour, when everyone with a working brain knows that barely had a impact on Kendrick career, since shout outs give an initial boost but then people move away from that artist, the thing that made Kendrick was Kendrick himself his music was something unique that people stick with him, and stay loyal to him, that's not anywhere near something that could come out from a shout out, but Drake fans will still say otherwise, or change the conversation to desperately gain some points or attention.
Appreciate you making this video man. As a white dude (from the Caribbean) I first started getting huge second hand embarrassment listening to his fake patois when he started leaching off Grime culture with the Dave remix etc. I never understood why black America and Britain gave him a pass on profiting from their culture. But wasn't really my place to suggest to the black diaspora what they should and shouldn't support. Happy to see a Black perspective with suspicion 😂
@@kenjakoI think his point was that loads of kids in London and Toronto use bits of Jamaican Patois constantly and now some of them don't even know they are doing it because they have grown up doing it.
@@KhyeTheWandereR I live in Cali & theirs a large Hispanic community here, but i don't walk around using an affected Spanish accent either... that's not my culture, and Jamaican culture isn't Drakes culture. Drake steals from everybody else's culture because he doesn't have one...Drake is a culture vulture.
I had been an avid Drake fan since Best I’ve ever had came out but watching what has unfolded over the last few months has totally rocked my world and I really can’t believe that I was sooo blinded to all his actions, I know it’s not that deep, but really it is, like Kendrick said “ It was God’s Plan to show us the liar”
I'm surprised people are just realizing that Drake is fake. I realized he was an actor playing a rapper after Take Care. That's when I tuned out of Drake. I didn't know that album was mostly stolen from The Weekend at that time but I knew he wasn't authentic . When started from the bottom dropped it confirmed it. He literally rapped about the struggles of a middle class white kid and everyone dismissed the lyrics and called it a hood classic because of the hook. I look at Drake the same way I look at Weeaboos. They find anime and make their whole lives about it not realizing or caring that's not how real Japanese people live, talk, look or behave. Drake is a hip-hop Weeaboo.
i agree with the weeb part but i definitely remember ppl clowning on him for degrassi and what not and therefore obviously not being hood from the start of his career. I will say the pass he always got weirded me out tho. It was definitely one of those “we know he really isn’t about any of it but it sounds good enough” and separated a lot of ppl where im from.
I agree fully. There hasn't been a day when I haven't been hating on Drake, used to be because he's just so damn corny but now I have even more reasons to hate on him. And this is coming from a white Finnish west coast rap fan. Drake just oozes fakeness.
If you realized it a long time ago then how you think you’re the only one saw his fakeness?? 🙄 It’s just being called out on a major scale. There are videos about Drakes fakeness and theft from before this all started.
You should do a video on fraudulent "black-owned business" scammers and how they're poisoning the well for every black person trying to actually get a business going
@darkscorpion4507 Well, when you can pay the victims off and/or intimidate victims to not go against you, of course the victims are probably not gonna sue.
BRILLIANT! Culture is alive, not fixed in stone. Your insightful, honest and truly entertaining commentary is a definite positive influence on culture. As a 63 year old white guy from Toronto, I'm happy to see some of the corporate stereotype reinforcing crap we are guilty of exporting exposed for what it is.
The annoying part is that a lot of people have been saying all this about Drake forever. But people didn’t want to listen until Kendrick said it on a Mustard beat.
I just accepted that fact and just listen to the music regardless of who the man really is. It’s just a matter of anyone in the industry, hell even independent, willing to call him out.
When drake first came onto the rap scene, 15 years ago. Everyone I knew, no matter where I was they talked about drake being a rapper when some of my friends said he a pop star/R&b. Dude was a fraud from the start but they let him cook and took all the Grammys. How you win a Grammy for best rapper and he ain’t even a rapper.
The ironic part is that Vanilla Ice actually did grow up in a ghetto part of Miami-and he still never claims to be "hood" and takes people clowning on him without getting upset.
It was definitely drakes crew throwing the punches lol he prolly disappeared behind them and was shoving acting like he was doing some once the action popped off 😂
I would say is not just Drake fans but online fans of hip hop in general have ruined hip hop. I’m not a Drake fan at all and I find his Stans to be unbearable. However, I still say that I feel like Kendrick Lamar has one of the worst bases in hip-hop and it says nothing to do with him as an artist, he’s a great rapper and a great lyricist. Still Kendrick’s fans are mainly his Stans are some of the worst hip-hop fans there is they can’t take any criticism of him. They go in total defense mode and it’s just a total idol worship of an artist still I think this is just online online and general. Eminem Stans are also annoying to to me as well. To me, I think online fandom of artist has ruined the genre and has been more of cult worship than focusing on the music.
@@Motle009 Stans in general are garbage. Kendrick had to put 'I’m not your savior, I'm in it for me' in Mr. Morale for that exact reason. But any Kendrick fan is more likely to listen to a Mos Def, E40, or KRS One than any Drake fan, if you get what I'm saying. They are taught respect and loyalty whereas Drake has demonstrated the opposite.
@@baronvonbeandip I still stand by the fact that I think his fan base is some of the worst and I think a lot of them have a deranged syndrome that can’t take any critique of him and get in super defense mode over nothing. When it comes to his fan though and what they listen to, I tend to think it’s a mixture of both. Same goes with Drake as well though I would probably say Kendrick probably has more more of a hip-hop fan base. Believe me I’ve met a lot of Kendrick fans who are definitely not hip-hop people most of them probably like him because he did songs with lonely Island and Taylor Swift so I would say he actually has a large pop audience fan as well. Plus you got a figure a lot of his fans are probably from 15 to 33. Most of them didn’t grow up on 90s hip-hop if anything they probably listen to a lot of rappers that been out for the past 10 years. No don’t get me wrong. I’m not talking about everyone. I’m sure a lot of the day one fans that listen to a lot of different hip-hop. I’m just talking about the different people I met in passing and knowing what they listen to. The other thing being able to cross over have a larger fan base is the fact that these albums he did he was signed with Dr. Dre and Interscope. Remember, these are the same machine that pushed and marketed Eminem you don’t think they were doing the same thing for Kendrick. Have always been one to say had Kendrick never signed to Dr. Dre and endoscope he would be another artist like Rass Kass, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, and others who would be a great lyricist but probably wouldn’t even go gold. To me Kendrick’s success I feel is because he was a talent that could stand out from a genre in decay and having the right marketing team behind him to push him, and the crossover songs I feel helped boost his popularity with the masses to where he can now flourish. I feel Drake probably wouldn’t have gotten as big as he did either had he not rode the Lil Wayne Young Money Cash Money wave. People overlook these things, but believe me those brands have a lot of power, and sometimes who you work with, can boost your popularity with the masses. At least this is just my observation.
@@baronvonbeandip also you are right about the savior song off of the Mr. Morale album. He himself said he wasn’t a savior though. I don’t think all his fans quite got the memo because they still treat him as such. That was definitely one of my more favorite songs off the album. I think I liked father time the best though of that album. When it comes to Kendrick’s entire catalog I would say GKMC was his best album and DAMN was my least favorite.
Question: is it Drake's fault that he is successful, wealthy and able to move in the spaces he's been allowed OR is it US, the CONSUMER that helped facilitate this now branded FRAUD?
did he really just say "some of my blackest friends"...? wow. haha what tf does that even mean. only he would talk like that and think it's totally normal.
You do realize this lightskin dude is Bi-Racial right? As in 50% AA & 50% Ashkenazi Jew. We gotta stop stretching people’s worlds & hearing what we want to hear.
I had no idea who that clown was until I was watching the Toronto Raptors during the playoffs. He was a distraction on the sidelines, constantly seeking attention.
I don’t think it’s like Drake fooled people for 15 years. Some of his earliest hits were essentially parody’s of Hip Hop stardom. He peacocked as a star and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. He did a brilliant job identifying and utilizing a formula to create hit songs. People simply did not ever care about the parts of his songs that were not genuine because they liked the songs. And it’s not just Drake but many of the most popular stars in the genre have utilized the same formula of exaggerating things, rapping about fame, money, cars, women ( JayZ, 50 cent) it’s just Drake never had the backstory to align with the posing. And the posing was just so over the top meticulous and disingenuous
As a Jamaican… don’t listen to Baka 🤣calling Drake “Dada” or “Fada” is weird af 😂 Baka is almost a decade older than Drake. Tf are you calling that man “fada”? A sign of respect?! 😂 Call him Boss or something. Dada is crazy DWL
Nah that’s only Drake tbh💀 plus he really more a pop star tbh🤷🏽♂️ some new g rappers have actually done some shit at their rivals ( not sure which but I’ve heard about it)
This was only true during the bubble gum era of rap when Soulja Boy was the biggest artist. Just look at all the rappers that have been murdered in the last half decade.
Not only did Kendrick never claim to be a gangster, he wrote an entire album about what it was like growing up in Compton trying to avoid becoming a gangster.

Too late for that wave. Maybe in hindsight he thinks about it. If he try to flip now it’s definitely a wrap. He just need to leave. He made some dope songs early on but he corny now.

The year was 2013. I was/am a single dad with the baby mama drama.
First job begins at 3AM. Then after 12:30PM I go home, take an hour nap, then head to my second job which goes from 3PM to 11PM. Days off I get my son for visitation.
I hear "Started From the Bottom" played by one of the dudes as the second job. I'm working like this not just to pay for rent and other expenses, but to invest and save for my son's future, save up for a house, pay for family trial attorneys. . .all that.
"Started from the bottom now I'm here." I check out the video the next day. In it Drake is working late nights at a drug store; his mom kicked him out; but he's worked his way up. "Started from the bottom now the whole team's fucking here." Not only did he make it, but he pulled his boys -- his close friends -- with him. . .maybe understanding that his wealth/fame was kind of a lucky stream that he could share with those who were with him when he had nothing.
I'm a little pumped. I'm tired from working. I don't know if it's going to work out. But this "started from the bottom" now he's here. . .driving around light Canadian snows in a convertible like it's a modern day sleigh early in the Christmas season.
But the video misses a few things. He gets the little promotion at the drug store, but it doesn't show shit about taking it from there. Like, he didn't take the raise, pay for a demo, keep working at the store while he bounced around from one shitty club to another. . .getting booed, wondering if he was going to make it, anything like that. He just goes from the store to making $500,000 per show.
What was the process?
I scrutinize a little more. He's smoking cigars AND wearing the freshest hip hop fashion like a fat cat. No dude who really WORKED his way through humble beginnings would carry that boast. . . not when talking about one's struggles. Then his mom: She's a well-to-do Jewish lady, pictured in front of some McMansion. That's no "bottom"; hardly anyone with a Jewish mom knows the bottom. Oh. . .and this is Canada: free healthcare, cheap education, a massive economic 'safety net', and no places like Compton, New Orleans, the Bronx, Atlanta, Chicago's southside, Detroit, Oakland, etc. Just a nation of some of the 'most polite people on Earth.'
Now I'm taken even more back, especially because he keeps using the N-word in the song, despite the fact he's only half-Black. Like maybe he shouldn't have his N-word Pass revoked, but to abuse it so thoroughly and repeatedly. . .I mean, am I crazy? He written anything about being Jewish?
I'm still trying to give the dude a pass, if just for the story of the struggles that I don't know -- like maybe he was lost after his mom kicked him out and shit like that -- then I see he was a child star on some stupid TV show. . .no doubt something that his mom helped him to secure. (Just found out that his Uncle, mentioned in the song, is some big-time media guy, too.)
Complete utter fraud. . .with more privilege and wealth than anyone I grew up with, Black, white, Apache, Mexican, Iranian, etc. But he still speak of himself 'heroically'. . ."From the Bottom."
Dude lost me very quickly.
To this day I still can't see how so many people were taken by him, not seeing through his bullshit, and being turned off as a result.
Then u learned that he didn’t write any of his own songs after the first 3 mixtapes other than a few diss tracks bc he realized he can do nothing and sing ghost-written songs
True true… one thing tho - don’t sleep on the brutal life of the streets in Canada. Its not easy out here and no joke

*Even Joe Budden said, "Why is Drake pushing 40 and Still hanging out with kids?*
Drake hangs out with younger artists so that he can push his music to the newer audiences it’s how he’s been able to stay relevant and he’s not the only rapper to do it. Kanye makes music with people more than half his age and a lot of other artist go to new talent to make a relevant track.

I’m glad someone is calling out the number one culture vulture Drake is literally an actor. He never stopped just switched roles
The bigger problem is the way Black people black community hip-hop culture/community promote themselves. Hip-hop community has been shady for a while and we don’t do nothing to stop it but we waste our time going after guy who name is Drake but playing the system?
The biggest problem is that what we think is blackness there’s a big problem in the black community on how we promote what black is and it is a big problem in the African-American community in the US instead of promoting blackness in a positive flag we promoted more negative , sorry , victimize etc light. in the type of meter that we push of what blackness is even telling somebody that they are not black enough, that is just going to make it so easy for somebody to turn blackness into an extremist mindset and picture.
I’m not saying Drake is not completely at fault , he could’ve, of course kept it real, been himself so he would of get less hate, knowing what hip-hop culture is would he have ve been that much popular and looked as black.
This wasn’t just towards Drake, but also to people who have similar issues or who is maybe not American but maybe black would’ve not considered black because black America want to black as being nigga than being actually black.
Because I believe being black is just you being yourself and you just so happen to be black . It’s not that hard, but clearly a big problem in black America and black and all the part the world, but it’s not that bad in other part of the world but a big issue in America in some sort.
And I think clowning on on that issue it’s not gonna help the black community and the hip-hop culture at the same time. We should take this seriously and find a way to actually help instead shamming, telling them to womp womp because that’s how it happens. We know that the hip-hop culture is somewhat gatekeeping.
And I feel like people forget that Drake is half African-American and half white. and I’m pretty sure in the past Drake actually cared about the hiphop culture, but he overcomplicated shit that is not good on his part. and I think him trying to get to know his black side wasn’t even going to work out knowing how ignorant the black community is most of the time. The less ignorant we show in the black community the less of this will actually happen.
Then, if Drake is a culture vulture, then basically everybody who likes anything that is not originate from black also culture vulture as well?, which is why I don’t like the culture vulture or gatekeepers trend because it’s a little bit double standard ish and hypocritical .
Hip-hop can be good and send positive messages, etc. but the way hip-hop is looking like you can’t release to be surprised of how this whole thing happened.

@@deceiver444nah his career still good
Drake is a person. He only played a character in Degressi
What is crazy to me is that only now people care that he is fake. Like people have been calling out his antics since he graduated degrassi high, but we were just called haters back then. So I would like to thank Knedrick for validating what all us haters were saying the about the last 15 or so years.
It just took a critical mass of people. Previously ppl were expressing dissatisfaction with Drake desperately in small groups over many years, so it wasn’t enough of a population of people to make an impact on his public perception.
As an x drake fan from scorpion time I have to say that I wish I seen a clip from degrassi bc I never did and honestly still have never seen a episode I was hypnotized by take care
I stopped listening to his AZZ when he came out with Started from the Bottom song, I was like when, where did you....
Couldn't take the black face🤮

I’m a black visual artist who grew up in a nice house in the suburbs, never missed a meal, and had two parents who made sure I was always taken care of and had the money to do so. You would literally never catch me saying I “started from the bottom”. I never talk about my current success without thanking my parents and mentors for encouraging me and giving me the tools I needed. I had my own particular black struggles being the “token” and having health issues as a kid. But it’s like Drake doesn’t really know how to have a black identity without pretending to be a particular stereotype or a particular idea he has about what black people are like and in the process he completely misses the entire point of everything and just feels like an empty shell of an “artist” trying on other peoples identities rather than figuring out his own to me.
1000% on point. If he had integrity he would be open about his real upbringing, like you or Issa Rae. It’s also ridiculous bc the internet has existed during all of Drake’s stardom, so it’s so easy for anyone to Google or even Wikipedia Drake and immediately see that he’s a huge f0cking poser 😅
Agreed!!!!!!!! Being a “ cul da sac gangsta” is just such bizarre way to live life.
I too grew up privileged, but it does not take away from my identify of being an African American Women.
Drake made a music video called Gods Plan where he’s saying it’s gods plan that he is mega rich and successful and whilst handing out money to people that evidently have to suffer in gods plan in their lives whilst receiving pennies from him almost like he’s God himself. People are so stupid that they watched that display and thought he made it for any reason apart from the reality which was just to make himself look good. It was one of the most distasteful things I’ve ever seen.
Ur missing the point the whole point of God's plan was to bless the city from that struggle...he's not considering himself God cuz he's making a city wealthy but he's helping them relieve from that struggle that's God's plan

People tend to pick a favorite artist based on how much they identify with them (ye fans are as manic/outspoken, thugger fans love the zest, barbs are as manic/petty, etc...). Drake fans will NEVER admit he's a fraud until they come to terms with their own insecurities.
Drake fans are just like Drake, they don’t understand hip hop, they worship a pop artist and really are befuddled as to why so many people hate dislike Drake. They’re argument for Drake being the GOAT is the amount of streams and Billboard charting… which is how you measure pop music. They don’t admit he’s a fraud because they legit don’t believe he’s a fraud, they ride with him the same way Beyoncé or Taylor Swift fans would ride, unconditional love, forgiveness, and die hard loyalty. All the things that you can’t stand about them is what they think makes them good fans, they’re just in the wrong genre of music.

Like nigga slang in America isn’t? 😂😂😂😂😂 keep that in the hood not in corporate
The worst part is the way most Toronto slang is used *is* ignorant. It's teenage white boys putting on a persona that they conglomerated from several other cultures that they deem cool. To my knowledge, which includes having been to Toronto multiple times, no one ACTUALLY has that accent in real life, you only see it online and probably in high schools. AND it sounds terrible. But drake saying it is crazy because he literally cosplays jamaican every other song. Like YOU ARE THE IGNORANCE brother

After Wayne gave him great advice he then pays him back by messing with his girl while he was locked up 😅 real 🐍
Facts
Aubrey did that to Wayne out of spite and retaliation for telling him what to do (whitch was the truth). Cuz Aubrey already saw Wayne as lesser than, he saw Wayne's position at that time as a "goal" for "Drake". If you get what im saying. Aubrey never really had respect for Wayne just knew he was a useful tool to get into the Rap game etc, like he did the others. ATO (Aubrey the owl) showed Wayne who he really was & how he felt about him in that moment. Wayne was probably too hurt and didn't want to see Drake for who he really is(Aubrey). Like a parent when they find out their golden child is a evil POS who starts to treat them bad. Classic denial. IMO. That's why Kendrick brought that up.

“you should just be yourself, right now you someone else” - Drake💀
Omg this is full circle, 2015/16 was literally when Drake started to change
I always thought Drake was Aubrey's biggest acting role yet, never really took his music seriously before his long-run as a chart topper.
Drake is a classic example of what happens to you when you live inside of a bubble where everyone is too scared to risk upsetting you because you pay their bills, if this guy had any real friends they would ridicule and mock him relentlessly, that's how it generally happens in male friend groups when one of your friends is out of touch. This guy has been lied to by those who are supposed to protect him, i guess that's the trouble when you don't have real friends, they just gonna lie to get to the bag, and who can blame em
Let's put a stop to this sob story....he is a slime ball behind the scenes who plays the victim in public. Go do your research on his beefs with various artists esp the Weeknd. He whines about not having any friends in the industry when he is completely trash as a person. Don't blame others not to get along with him. He doesn't have a genuine bone in his body. He makes moves only to benefit himself (covert narcissistic behaviour disguised as altruistic in nature). People/artists see through that, some quickly others take time.
He does have real friends, they’re just most probably Jewish and Canadian. They got no business in in the us hip hop culture
Even as a nigga that used to fw Drake's music, you can tell he used to get bullied a lot... I mean, I've never seen a (seemingly) well-adjusted artist act the way Drake's been acting & moving the past decade. Like, his vibe screams "where my hug at?"
Right? Very desperate for recognition

Perhaps the word choice of “blackest” indicates Drake struggles with his own level of blackness, even thinking about it in forms of a scale or spectrum rather than an inherent, absolute trait

It made me so uncomfortable

Yall are like
do you mean r/drizzy? you can almost smell the glaze when entering lol, drake drops 2 completely dogwater collabs right after taking a massive L against kendrick - go, see the comments on yt and everyone is clowning it - but the glazers in the subreddit play mental gymnastics in a way i've never seen before to make it seem a genius move. Some people are hopeless. Drake fans, much like Drake himself, bask in delusion and fooling themselves away from reality
It also doesn’t help that Reddit is full of white people and the r/Drizzy sub is full of his white fans crying racism because of the claims. They’re extremely ignorant and have a large case of fomo for a culture that’s not theirs 😭
Even worse people from there flooded the R/KendrickLamar, pretending to be Kendrick fans saying praising Drake for his disses. Those people are extremely pathetic and beyond delusional, even today they still think Drake won or pulling bs like it's a draw, coping from the fact that their idol lost, even going for bs like Drake made Kendrick because he gave him a shout-out on his tour, when everyone with a working brain knows that barely had a impact on Kendrick career, since shout outs give an initial boost but then people move away from that artist, the thing that made Kendrick was Kendrick himself his music was something unique that people stick with him, and stay loyal to him, that's not anywhere near something that could come out from a shout out, but Drake fans will still say otherwise, or change the conversation to desperately gain some points or attention.
This is the perfect explanation of why a lot of people don't like Drake.
and his music is miiiid af
Appreciate you making this video man. As a white dude (from the Caribbean) I first started getting huge second hand embarrassment listening to his fake patois when he started leaching off Grime culture with the Dave remix etc. I never understood why black America and Britain gave him a pass on profiting from their culture.

I had been an avid Drake fan since Best I’ve ever had came out but watching what has unfolded over the last few months has totally rocked my world and I really can’t believe that I was sooo blinded to all his actions, I know it’s not that deep, but really it is, like Kendrick said “ It was God’s Plan to show us the liar”
I'm surprised people are just realizing that Drake is fake. I realized he was an actor playing a rapper after Take Care. That's when I tuned out of Drake. I didn't know that album was mostly stolen from The Weekend at that time but I knew he wasn't authentic . When started from the bottom dropped it confirmed it. He literally rapped about the struggles of a middle class white kid and everyone dismissed the lyrics and called it a hood classic because of the hook. I look at Drake the same way I look at Weeaboos. They find anime and make their whole lives about it not realizing or caring that's not how real Japanese people live, talk, look or behave. Drake is a hip-hop Weeaboo.
i agree with the weeb part but i definitely remember ppl clowning on him for degrassi and what not and therefore obviously not being hood from the start of his career. I will say the pass he always got weirded me out tho. It was definitely one of those “we know he really isn’t about any of it but it sounds good enough” and separated a lot of ppl where im from.
I agree fully. There hasn't been a day when I haven't been hating on Drake, used to be because he's just so damn corny but now I have even more reasons to hate on him. And this is coming from a white Finnish west coast rap fan. Drake just oozes fakeness.
If you realized it a long time ago then how you think you’re the only one saw his fakeness?? 🙄

As a hip-hop fan from the 90/2000s ,we hate Drake and his fans for destroying rap
I would say is not just Drake fans but online fans of hip hop in general have ruined hip hop. I’m not a Drake fan at all and I find his Stans to be unbearable. However, I still say that I feel like Kendrick Lamar has one of the worst bases in hip-hop and it says nothing to do with him as an artist, he’s a great rapper and a great lyricist. Still Kendrick’s fans are mainly his Stans are some of the worst hip-hop fans there is they can’t take any criticism of him. They go in total defense mode and it’s just a total idol worship of an artist still I think this is just online online and general. Eminem Stans are also annoying to to me as well. To me, I think online fandom of artist has ruined the genre and has been more of cult worship than focusing on the music.
@@Motle009 Stans in general are garbage. Kendrick had to put 'I’m not your savior, I'm in it for me' in Mr. Morale for that exact reason.
But any Kendrick fan is more likely to listen to a Mos Def, E40, or KRS One than any Drake fan, if you get what I'm saying. They are taught respect and loyalty whereas Drake has demonstrated the opposite.
@@baronvonbeandip I still stand by the fact that I think his fan base is some of the worst and I think a lot of them have a deranged syndrome that can’t take any critique of him and get in super defense mode over nothing. When it comes to his fan though and what they listen to, I tend to think it’s a mixture of both. Same goes with Drake as well though I would probably say Kendrick probably has more more of a hip-hop fan base. Believe me I’ve met a lot of Kendrick fans who are definitely not hip-hop people most of them probably like him because he did songs with lonely Island and Taylor Swift so I would say he actually has a large pop audience fan as well. Plus you got a figure a lot of his fans are probably from 15 to 33. Most of them didn’t grow up on 90s hip-hop if anything they probably listen to a lot of rappers that been out for the past 10 years. No don’t get me wrong. I’m not talking about everyone. I’m sure a lot of the day one fans that listen to a lot of different hip-hop. I’m just talking about the different people I met in passing and knowing what they listen to. The other thing being able to cross over have a larger fan base is the fact that these albums he did he was signed with Dr. Dre and Interscope. Remember, these are the same machine that pushed and marketed Eminem you don’t think they were doing the same thing for Kendrick. Have always been one to say had Kendrick never signed to Dr. Dre and endoscope he would be another artist like Rass Kass, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, and others who would be a great lyricist but probably wouldn’t even go gold. To me Kendrick’s success I feel is because he was a talent that could stand out from a genre in decay and having the right marketing team behind him to push him, and the crossover songs I feel helped boost his popularity with the masses to where he can now flourish. I feel Drake probably wouldn’t have gotten as big as he did either had he not rode the Lil Wayne Young Money Cash Money wave. People overlook these things, but believe me those brands have a lot of power, and sometimes who you work with, can boost your popularity with the masses. At least this is just my observation.
@@baronvonbeandip also you are right about the savior song off of the Mr. Morale album. He himself said he wasn’t a savior though. I don’t think all his fans quite got the memo because they still treat him as such. That was definitely one of my more favorite songs off the album. I think I liked father time the best though of that album. When it comes to Kendrick’s entire catalog I would say GKMC was his best album and DAMN was my least favorite.
Drake definitely destroyed the trend of hip hop this decade and the last one

I don’t think it’s like Drake fooled people for 15 years. Some of his earliest hits were essentially parody’s of Hip Hop stardom. He peacocked as a star and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. He did a brilliant job identifying and utilizing a formula to create hit songs. People simply did not ever care about the parts of his songs that were not genuine because they liked the songs. And it’s not just Drake but many of the most popular stars in the genre have utilized the same formula of exaggerating things, rapping about fame, money, cars, women ( JayZ, 50 cent) it’s just Drake never had the backstory to align with the posing. And the posing was just so over the top meticulous and disingenuous
