  • Опубликовано: 19 май 2024
  • Drake is one of the most successful musical artists of our time, but his role as a label head is controversial. We dive into the operations of Drake's OVO Sound, examining the label's impact on artists like PartyNextDoor, ILoveMakonnen, Majid Jordan, and more recently 4batz & Ice Spice. We explore accusations of neglect and exploitation, the concept of the 'OVO Sweatshop,' and the challenges faced by signees. We also look at artists who avoided signing with OVO and the broader implications for Drake's legacy in the music industry.

      What's funnier is that Drake is acting like Taylor Swift didn't end up embracing hip hop since the beginning. She performed Live Your Life alongside T.I. at one of her concerts back in the day. She made a song with B.o.B. for his second album. Yes she made Bad Blood with Kendrick Lamar. But it's weird that Drake made it sound like KDot was the only musician to collab with her recently. Because FUTURE joined her and Ed Sheeran for a song together.

    Drake uses his record label as a weapon to take out competition. He signs artists he thinks could threaten his fame, and buries them once they’re signed. He doesn’t want to retire because that means his prime is officially over and he CANT accept that. He doesn’t want to accept he’s getting older and he’s not a young famous pop star anymore. He doesn’t want to hand the reigns over to someone new. He doesn’t want to be forgotten.

      Clearly he admired Drake but felt some type of way about not getting to collab w him. But at the same time he was mad proud of not needing him or Jay Z or some other cosign to blow up, and he was right about not needing them. He had an actual artistic vision unlike Drake which makes it strange that he looked up to him, maybe his ability to change the album rollout game as he talked about.

      For real. I always bumped the hip-hop station at night in grad school and I had to take breaks from that shit because of how much Drake's corny ass collabs played "Slaughter gang shit, ayy, murder gang shit" bitch stfu 😂 I understood why getting 21 collabs hardens Drake's image but having someone as good as 21 on the same track as Drake's mediocrity didn't make sense to me.
