Speaking from my own white suburban upper middle class perspective, I think I understand why Drake does this. When you grow up listening to art from people who've survived unimaginable physical and spiritual turmoil you start to associate good art with pain. This assumption forms that in order to be a great artist, you have to have a determination that can only be born in you when you come up from nothing. And when you've never worried about where your next meal will come from, or if you even have a future at all, you get insecure. You feel like you don't have anything meaningful to contribute. To deal with this you can either do as Drake does, dress yourself in traditions you don't know anything about while leaning on tenuous connections to your culture of choice to essentially steal valor, or you can recognize the truth about art which is that the secret ingredient is not pain. It's *truth.* The reason the great rappers from the streets are great isn't because their childhoods were violent and painful, it's because they chose to express their experiences in ways that provide entertainment, meaning, and peace to others. Being a rapper who sings isn't the problem. Being soft isn't the problem. Being half-white isn't the problem. Dishonesty is.

Eminem is the gayest dude in HipHop history, him clowning people on how gangster they are is so cringe worthy. The entire concept that you need to come from a broken home to be a legit HipHop artist is stupid.
Torontonian here- Drake grew up in an area called Forrest Hills. Thats not just any regular suburb of toronto, thats one of the richest areas in the entire city to live in, its not even close, its the UBER rich area. The only thing close to it in cost would be the downtown core area penthouses. The houses there are 30k+ sq ft / 100 room mansions, right in the middle of the city. Its where the CEOs and star athletes live
yeah there's some rough areas of toronto its not all good here, but like i'm 99% sure aubrey's never been in one before putting on this fake persona unless he was driving through it in a car
@@PinkDomina25 lmfao weston road from wilson or finch to woodbridge too, which is funny cuz his songs always brag about being on the hood parts of weston, but his first house before the embassy was in the billionaire area of weston 😂
@@PinkDomina25 Drake's the kinda guy to have beef with someone around there and instead of dealing with it himself he'll wait in his limo tweeting how tough he is while the 6'6" dude he pays actually does something
@@MYNAMACHEFhe wasn’t handed that. He earned that spot while his mom was working several jobs to keep him in a good environment as a single parent. Then he became the biggest rapper when nobody thought an “actor” could. Drake has never said he was from the hood. That doesn’t mean he still had to work to get to where he is now
@@mobilelegendspublicenemyxo4315 i always wondered who popularized that phrase…that’s scary the fact that Drake of all people said it. The dude’s fan base is made up of mostly underage girls
@@ivanthaboiI can’t say for sure but I’d guess he bought that house once he got his Degrassi money. He was already famous for years in that video. We don’t know much if anything about his life before fame other than he lived with his single mom in Toronto
No, a culture vulture is someone who takes from a particular culture without giving credit to said genre, culture, or its people. Drake has not only embraced multiple scenes/genres in music, he’s put on its people and made these already popular cultures more easily accessible to the public. UK: Dave, Headie, Giggs, Jorja, etc are prime examples of embracing a culture and putting on its people.
@@kamfisher1714 drake uses the culture to further his own agenda, leeches what he can then moves on to the next best thing while claiming he built their carreers, wayne himself said drake needs to stick to rapping what he knows about not, he doesn't understand the culture and uses other people to give him insider info
This was a truly succinct definition of 'cultural appropriation'. It's not about race as much as life experience. Eminem is all white and never tried to say he wasn't. But it was his genuine life experience that made him relatable from the start.
Exactly that, Eminem tapped into lower/working class white kids that liked rap. We don't gangbang or represent colours but we are poor as shit too, surrounded by drugs, alcohol and abuse

I’m a light skin dude, not hood, introverted and use big words sometimes. I have been called “white boy” accused of “acting white”…didn’t grow up around white people btw….so I was a little sensitive to some of the criticism towards Drake because I did that thing where people put their own experiences in front of shit that is truthfully none of your business…I never ran my mouth about shit I didn’t know…good thing I didn’t because all you had to do was look a little deeper to realize shit wasn’t right all the way with Drake. I never….NEVER saw him as a hood dude and I did think he was just performative….I didn’t realize how toxic he was about it though

This was the PERFECT analysis from a Black American perspective. It's like we all understand the unspoken rules of the culture without having to meet each other.
@@unclericosfootballcamp2854 If you're not from the culture, its hard to understand the nuances. A LOT of his base missed a lot of points because they didn't have the context and had the audacity to double down on their claims and be vile about it because they buy his music. That's why appropriation and appreciation must be scrutinized going forward. A LOT of his fans have been delusional, downright disrespectful and very entitled.
There’s a lot of hypocrisy and issues in black culture that we never wanna acknowledge. That’s the real issue and when it comes to hating on drake that’s a perfect example of this. Your comment describes what it SHOULD BE. but people like Kendrick constantly move the goalposts about what it means to be “black” whenever it’s convenient to tear someone else down. Then wanna preach about black power and inclusiveness when everyone who’s black don’t go through the exact experiences. And just because they don’t, doesn’t mean they should be outcasted.
I thought my mom was white…the whiteness level of Drakes mom made room for his spoiledness. My mom wouldn’t make me get a switch but she sure as hell wouldn’t let me act like that. And the fact there were people and cameras there…you could tell he was holding back
Drake is cosplaying a black rapper. This is why he adopts so many aspects of other cultures. It some respects it could be considered cultural appreciation but it crossed over into appropriation years ago
@@kamfisher1714 j cole and Jay z grew up within an inner city in the black culture. Drake did not. Dude grew up a Jew in a very well off neighborhood. He’s not from the streets. He’s out here creating baby mama’s and not claiming his kids when he knows better.
@@Dudewhatno Jay z actually does that’s how he got so powerful and hold up, ya’ll call Obama the first black president yet his white momma raised him and he code switched
Drake grew up rich, in a white, Jewish family. For Drake "blackness" is a costume he puts on. "Drake" the rapper is character similar to the character he used to play as a teenager.
🎯 EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARSSS! That's why he's been able to get away with the bs for so long. He's an ACTOR FIRST! LMAO it's what literally made him famous 😂😂😂
For a moment I was about to correct you by pointing out that he sucks at acting..... but you didn't say he was good, you just said "well connected" So on point %100. I'd be shocked if he ever solved a problem in his life without paying it to go away.
"Started From the Bottom was about his career as a rapper" 1) Already being a famous teen actor with money and connections in the entertainment industry automatically disqualifies his claim of starting from the bottom in his rap career. 2) Lil Wayne, the most popular rap artist at the time and now arguably considered one of the best, took Drake under his wing, signed him to his label, and mentored him. He didn't start from the bottom even in terms of his rap career.

Kendrick has the ultimate victim complex. He thinks he has the ultimate struggle and anyone who didn’t have it as hard as him doesn’t matter. When in reality every person has their own struggles😂😂
@@leultrainstinct406 I'm sorry but no... When you have never feared for your life, been afraid and helpless, homeless, or abandoned you have gone through nothing. Going hungry and not getting your favorite bagel for your tuna sandwich are not comparable
That same uncle taught drake a lot about jazz, soul, and the culture at a young age. So what’s the argument to hate on him gonna be? Is it He’s had a few successful family members so he’s a culture vulture, or he’s not “in tune” with black culture so he’s one? Y’all gotta pick one a stick with it😂😂
No the argument would be that he wasn’t raised by his uncle or his father. So he wasn’t raised up in a black family. He visited his black family members for a few summers in his childhood.
I have a similar experience to Drake, but on the inverse (in my case, black mother, white Jewish father). I have issues with my momma but you can bet your ass I'd never treat her like this over a damn sandwich!
Because his appeal that time was very to girls and teens and he was kinda teen star and a lot of people was kinda joking about that. Ain’t nobody had problems with bieber when he did songs afterwards, songs that were engaging to almost everyone. He was a pop star and nobody has problems with popstars. Even when he came to the hoods and did pushups with niggas ain’t nobody had problems. He was respectful and modest. There’s difference.
@@ilayben-simchon7688nah that Beiber hate was real back in the early 2010s. Prior to his album Purpose, he was loved by his fan base, but he got a lot of hate and cyber bullying every where else.
@@Godaerentalos yeah and than grew out of it. Don’t get me wrong I ain’t a bieber fan but the dude is likeable. Despite being a white boy Canadian and dies a good job on features ass well. That feature on Travis album is still goated
@@GodaerentalosBieber was hated in the early 2010’s for two reasons. First, the obnoxious amount of hip hop stars that were featuring on his tracks, people knew damn well the only reason for those features is because Usher wanted to build Justin into an RnB/Hip Hop star and use his connections to make more cash off Justin’s success, and the majority of people weren’t having it (myself included, that’s not Justin’s lane, he’s a pop star and a damn good one, but he’s not Usher, The Weeknd, etc.). Second, his early relationship with Selena Gomez was extremely public, especially their breakup; his entire life was shoved into people’s faces, but the relationship in particular became such a recurring obsession in the media that it created problems between the two, and it damaged both of them mentally and emotionally. The difference here is that Justin and Drake are entirely different. Justin never tried to be something he wasn’t, even with all those features he still only made pop tracks. He didn’t act like he was some champion of the less fortunate, or pretend that he endured the same struggles and experiences of those he featured with. Drake did. Justin isn’t perfect, never has been, he was raised in a shitty industry that used and abused him for profit, but for the most part he’s honest, about himself, his upbringing, his past and mistakes. Drake isn’t. As Kendrick said in MTG, Drake lies, he lies about everything, his personality, career, all of it is fake.
I remember when drake straight up changed the meaning of what a freestyle is. He had a freestyle years ago it was one of his first radio show appearances, where he literally rapped with the blackberry out reading it. And everyone just let it slide, and from then now a “freestyle” is just a verse over a beat you’ve never heard. He literally took the talent aspect out of being an artist
He got made fun of for that and then niggas started doing it. It’s like the call for fame is too strong for people to double down on skills worthy of such attention. They want it now.
A lot of people called that out at the time. Drake has always been a fake ass swaggerjacker, a walking meme and an obvious industry plant / nepo baby for a while now, Kendrick just reminded people lol
Ironic when Kendrick is the one with an identity crisis. He doesn’t know when to act like the black messiah preaching against anything white, or switch to the selling out to the whites for more popularity and awards, or cheating on his wife with whites women😂😂

I'm white, from an upper middle class background. Culturally, that "where's my sandwich" could be from my childhood. Down to the way the mom is talking, the stuff that's out on the counter. And obviously the room itself. It kind of shocked me
Yea cuz Drake is the only teenager to ever complain to their parents. Y’all make up new shit to hate on him every day lmao Look at what you’ve done and you and the 6 are thank you letters to his mom
You hit the nail on the head, its not that he's not black enough. It's that he's inauthentic. He puts on different personas to be cool and make hits but none of it feels real. Can't go against a true artist when that's your M/O.
No kidding - I’m white and your explanation of why the black community needs outlaws to balance power kind of blew my mind. Never heard it explained that way, but it makes a lot of sense.

I hadn't actually put a face to the name yet and when I finally saw "Drake" I was like "You mean wheelchair Jimmy?! THAT'S who everybody's talking about?!" I really thought he was going to be just another flash in the pan. I've never been able to take him seriously.
“What's the matter dawg? You embarrassed? This guy's a gangsta but his real name's Clarence And Clarence lives at home with both parents And Clarence's parents have a real good marriage” head aszz
This is why white rappers like Eminem still have respect. He was secure enough in his talent to never fake any street cred, and he kept his beef with mostly other white rappers. He appreciated the culture but never tried to claim it as his own. Respect. Be yourself.
Funnily enough the role he is known the best for is playing Wheelchair Jimmy, which apparently he hated because he didn't like playing a disabled guy because he thought it made him look weak. He couldn't separate the character and himself which any normal actor is able to do. So he had trouble being an actor as well.

As a white dude who grew up in the hood in the US, it's infuriating to hear this dude act gangster and use ghostwriters. I grew up writing graffiti, running fades, getting arrested, having homies get killed etc and that shot fucked me up. I hate when fools glorify shit they haven't even been thru. It's a slap in the face to those of us who survived with all the scars and trauma to prove it smh.
I’m white, but I grew up in very ghetto areas. We had people breaking into our house or sleeping in our laundry room and backyard, constant roach/rat infestations, no electricity sometimes, depending on school food for most meals, ect. I’m honestly grateful for how good I had it because I know my dad had it much worse. Meanwhile Drake was getting sad over not having a sandwich already made for him, and dude thinks he came from the bottom.

Of course hes has some hits after 2015 but what im sayin is it didnt feel like the real drake every thing hes put out since 2016 has felt like its being chosen by the corporate label
Let’s be honest, the hip hop community stopped caring about a rapper’s origins after 50 expose Rick Ross for being a former CO and Ross kept pushing it. Drake’s like the ultimate byproduct of that.
Thing is alot of good people get jobs are co it literally one the most corruption filled positions out there Ross being a co isn’t even that embarrassing it just 50 cent is a mastermind at beef and made it seem bad
Yeah I believe that was the moment right there, or maybe the Source vs Em situation. It's the Art that armors certain artist and protects... as long as they provides the hits
whats wrong with being a CO...its just a job. its not like rck ross was a cop or prosecutor like our vice president who made sure black people with marijuana crimes would go to jail so she could statpad black people being locked up

“Only became ‘black’” -how do you become black? His father is African American 🤔 you are super ignorant and obviously doesn’t know what culture vulture means. Also, the identity crisis line is over used. His music identity has remained the same. He has experimented with styles of music but that doesn’t mean he does not know who he is. If he was having an identity crisis, we would not associate a sound to his name.
Wait, you're telling me a child actor from Canada on a children's TV show grew up and started acting like someone he's not? What a shock, I never would have guessed. Next you're gunns tell me he's never been a gangster! (/s)
The kids that were between ages 3 and 8 when he dropped probably didn't know about his past the way we did. I was in my 20s when he dropped. Even some of us didn't connect the dots. I had never seen nor heard of Degrassi, but when I learned he was a child star, I knew he didn't have time to be in the streets like us. I'm from Dekalb County (Zone 6). I knew there was no way he wasn't a sucka, but he played us good. We can't keep letting mess like that happen. He's not like us. He doesn't care about us. I'm glad he's out tbh.
I have met and know white people less white than Drake. "I hate the way that you talk. I hate the way that you walk. I hate the way that you dress." I feel that shit now.
What makes me so sick is that Drake knows better. He’s out here creating baby mamas and out of wedlock kids when he has all the resources to be better man that his dad. So many black boys would have given so much to grow up with the way he did.
I am one of those white people. My friends joke about their "other" black friend, and then I walk in. But it's just how and where I grew up, and who I was around the majority of the time because of where I lived. People can tell when you're "faking the funk" as we used to say.
8:08 drake in these clips actually seemed very likable. He seemed like some average chill dude with ambitions which I prefer rather than a culture vulture fraud willing to lie for fame
When has drake ever lied for fame? He’s never not once said he was from the hood or was ever in a gang. Y’all just create fake narratives. Kendrick got people who aren’t black calling drake a culture vulture what has the world come to😂😂
Finally some smart people. Drake never raked anything y’all gay af hating on him taking sides etc with this Ken doll J cole ish going on. Get a life listen to Immortal Technique start there ftw 💥
That’s why Wayne told him to just be himself. Wayne wouldn’t have vouched for him if he didn’t see what he could have been. He’s an emotionally damaged person that entrenched himself in his vices. Kendrick saw that too so he wrote TPAB, but unfortunately Drake didn’t listen and tried to stab Kendrick in the back(I think during the 100 MV he did with Game). So then we got DAMN.
As a middle class white kid that fucking sandwich thing was brutal. Bro, I didn't even have that. My mom would've smacked my head and tell me to eat it and like it. What the fuck is this lol
It's funny to contrast Drake to Snow (the guy who did the song 'Informer' in the 90s). He was a white Canadian who grew up in the projects around overwhelmingly black Jamaicans, joining a gang and beginning to speak in patois - before going to prison several times for gang related assaults. A Canadian guy with a stage name that literally refers to how white he is, is a more legitimate gangster than Drake.
Even Snow clarified this in the song informer: ..." People dem say ya come from Jamaica But me born an' raised in the ghetto that I want ya to know-a Pure black people man that's all I man know.." - Snow.
Idk I grew up pretty poor and seen non white friends act like drake with their mom. I don't think that's a "colonizer" thing some people are just disrespectful no matter how much they're corrected. Usually it was the ghetto ass kids at school that were extremely disrespectful to other people. It was rare a ghetto ass kid at school had any manners.
Drake literally dropped gentrified soca in 2016 with one dance, controlla, and hotline bling. During this time, Bruk off Yuh Back by Konshens and Fever by Vybz blew up. At this time dancehall, soca, and Caribbean culture in general was gaining a lot of traction on a global scale. Then he took things a step further and signed Popcaan to OVO only after featuring on some of Popcaans songs to make money off of Carribbean culture (at this time in 2016 Caribbean culture was “trendy”). Mind you, this white boy don’t even speak Creole. And although Popcaan was in Controlla Drake didn’t put Popcaan as an artist on the song in his album (views). Out of no where around this time he also stopped speaking English and started speaking what he called Canadian slang which is literally just different variations of Caribbean Creolese but he called it slang disrespecting various languages that were built from oppression. These languages are a testament to the Caribbean peoples resilience. When reggaeton blew up guess what he did, dropped Mia. Mind you, He can’t even speak Spanish. There’s so many more examples of Drake doing this. That album more life, don’t get me started with the amount of Caribbean language used in that album that he claimed as “Toronto slang”. As a Guyanese person I have always disliked Drake for this. This is our language. It’s part of our way of life. It’s not some “slang” for you to mock. Drake literally hops on every single cultural trend you can think of and monetizes it. He is quite frankly the definition of a culture vulture. I find this very disrespectful. He doesn’t even respect the values of the cultures, he actually mocks them. Not to mention, a lot of people in the Caribbean are poor and our culture is all we have. Edit: This why k-dot called him a colonizer because he exploits every cultural trend and said cultures artists.
all facts, and tbh I wasn’t able to really see all this clearly until kendrick completely exposed how much drake has been a culture vulture his entire career during this beef. drake has taken vastly more than he’s given back to the culture but held is such high regard and that’s one of the reason kendrick despises him.
He did the same with UK grime. I’m from the UK and a grime fan and it would piss me off having to hear Drake talk about ‘catties’ and his ‘off the radar’ freestyle rapping in UK slang.
@@Kabia11 Cattie is a Jamaican term. It’s not slang. This is part of my point. He and others have taken an actual language and dubbed it “Toronto slang” or “uk slang”. It’s so bad to a point now where people who are racist, disrespectful, and uninformed on the culture are using the language. I mean look at Drake he uses so much Creole in his music and he tried to clown Kendrick saying “he raps like he tryna free the slaves”. Kendrick’s music is healing to those who have grown up facing adversity. His last album was my favorite of all time. Kendrick a grown man recovering from trauma and being vulnerable to share that with the world through his music. His last album, Mr. Morals and the Big Steppers was about Kendrick going to therapy. Father Time my favorite record on that album. It’s him rapping about how his father figure abused him in childhood and how that affected him as a grown man. Grown man rapping about issues that the culture and world stays away from. It’s sad because it’s become a common joke on how common single parenting is in the black community. When people joke and say “my dad left to get milk but he didn’t come back”. not Kendrick tho, he realizes it’s nothing to joke about and that it’s serious because children need their dads. That’s a legend right there. His music is healing. Meanwhile almost all of Drakes music isn’t written by him and he literally monetizes every cultural trend that pops off. Also Drake never raps about meaningful and deep stuff like Kendrick does. On slime you out this white boy (drake) literally said “whipped and chained you like American slaves” comparing what he did in bed with ethnic women to American slavery. He’s been doing this racist, white supremacist shit for a minute now. Someone needs to humble him. Him using Caribbean language but mocking slavery is not okay especially because the Caribbean has a horrible past of slavery. My parents grew up pre independence in Guyana and my grandparents were actual slaves. The audacity to make money off a culture but clown their past struggles that still impacts us today in various ways is bare schupidness. Besides that point tho yeah he hopped on the UK grime trend too. Drake been on skunt.
Now that mexican music is poppin now he wants our culture too and he’s trying to do it by having chinito pacas rep ovo 😂 is he gon a start hanging out w cartel mafia guys now too? Since that part is soo ingrained into mexican corridos, boy he do not wanna mess w those ppl fr 😂
There is a Jamaican community in Toronto, so there is a Caribbean influence there. HOWEVER, Drake does not come for that culture, can’t claim a culture or background just because you’re from the same city. There’s an old video of him saying some Toronto slang is “ignorant” and that he doesn’t talk like that, only to talk exactly like that years later.
“The bottom is not the hood. That’s just not how the world works. A lot of people have to work for a lot of things in life. That’s just what the song is about it’s about being focused on a goal which at times can feel like the bottom because you haven’t achieved it yet. And somehow attaining that goal. Where I’m from has nothing to do with it. It can be if you want it to be, if that’s your story. Everybody has a unique story” drake in 2013 talking about the song. Yet y’all somehow created a fake narrative he’s tryna act hood😂😂

Drakes a suburbanite upper middle class kid with a predominately white family (i say predominantly because he said he didnt see his dad much, he grew up with his white side).... on the other hand Kendrick is a real street guy, who really comes from the hood and reps hip hop as an actual culture not as a product to expoit and sell like drake. Also Drake is more palatable to white audiences due to his racial ambiguity, which is also a huge factor in his commercial success because he benefits from white and blavk fans to the maximum capacity. This beef is not just rap its PRODUCT VS CULTURE, rap was never a product to black people, its literally a huge part of our culture as blavk people 🤞🙏 anyways thats just my thoughts on this topic
Drake is pop star that's been allowed to borrow from rap culture at will for profit. That's his design. That was his role and because he has black in him it worked. His success gained him acceptance among the community, a community that watch his head get too big and needed some humbling and some reality checking.
While Drake was acting, our lives were literally in danger if we were outside in the early 2000s. We survived a race war it was so bad, massive fights in school everyone was a target if you looked like an op. Still remeber my dad calling us all to the living room to tell me my bro had been shot and was fighting for his life luckily he survived. Kendrick is right he's not like us, I don't hate Drake and aside from all the pdf stuff he really should just rap about stuff he knows cus he's cosplaying.
Deadass a huge part of a huge part of your culture is embarrassing, listen to the songs from Future and Metro without Kendrick, or any other rap, maybe they shouldn't write their own lyrics. ALSO (white Kendrick fan here) why are Drake's lyrics repeatedly pedophilic if he's not writing them and if so why aren't we looking more at his team since he needs them anyways? I think it's funny how people keep saying that white people are the reason Drake gets propped up over Kendrick sometimes when in reality it really is those 'uncultured' from other countries like the boxer in the video who simply (this has been affirmed by Romanians, Peruvians, Ecuadorians, Turks, Spanish, Mexicans, Filipinos, the Stans, Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian, and many more just personally, that they listen to those top english songs like God's Plan, Hotline Bling, Jumpman, etc. because they are simple and catchy. My thing is with you commenting as someone who looks to probably be in the same boat as Drake race-wise, what exactly resonates with you in things that rappers outside of Kendrick say to YOU? I get Kendrick spits history and stuff to try and paint a realistic picture of the black struggle in most cases, but where are you seeing ANYTHING that is good for the life of the black WOMAN in music, particularly rap, today? I just don't get how you can sit here and defend either quite frankly, just because Drake lost doesn't mean he didn't get in some blows, fuck his songs were more listenable than Kendrick's still in terms of quality of music. It's just like Kendrick doesn't look better coming out of this, he was really an instigator in this and when you really look at the context of some of the disses against Kendrick, they make him look about as Fake as Aubrey Drake.
He comes from music royalty, his uncle is Larry Graham, one of the most influential and successful funk musicians of all time, and his other uncle was in Al Green's band. He was always gonna have a way into the music industry.
Those of us that are older remember this bout Drake. It’s why a lot of us old heads don’t really like Drake but I’m glad you’re doing the work and posting it for others to view.
Yeah, i was born in 2000 and i only knew about drake when i was like 11 or 12 years old. Used to love him until high school at 15 years old and finding out he doesnt even write his raps, and thats the time i started listening to West Coast classics(NWA, Kurupt etc.), Underground rap (Beast Coast, Odd Future) and D12 instead of Trap and all that... the time where i became a huge fan of Black Hippy too... But boy, i did not know Drake was an even bigger fraud than i had previously thought. Im literally only finding out right now at age 24 during this beef lol
I remember a decade ago when "Started from the Bottom" was Drake's biggest song, my friends and I would make fun of it every time by singing "Started from Degrassi now we here!"
I never understood how people call Eminem a culture vulture, yet those same people have given Drake a free pass, especially after he paraded around in BLACKFACE.
How did someone consider him as culture vulture? He literally grew up in the hood and knows what it be like even tho he's white. And he's not really talk abt it in his songs unlike drake
They both are July Rev 2:9, 3:9 All the music, entertainment, money etc is own by July very own. Taylor Swift too They put their own on top because it's their own business. Everyone else is pawns in a game chase. If they want riches, they must give up a lot . Drake draconian Dracula Started from the bottom wasn't talking about his career 6th god... 6 is falling, unlike 9 is rising Toronto is cold....... That's the opposite of jungles aka heaven Toronto raptors... Drake is old as dinosaurs aka Draconian wanna be dragons. Get his some of his tweets now ?
The fact being black is always associated with being poor and struggling is the real issue in this whole race baiting argument Kendrick brainwashed y’all into thinking
Loved the little tidbits of history in this . Most people needed to know that police started out to catch enslaved people, about the no child behind which hindered public education and So much more . There’s so much history that people don’t know about it’s sad
Oh f*ckin hell. Aubrey's career is OVER. Wayne told him to stay in his land and keep it Canadian and he didn't listen. I'm glad Kendrick put Drake on blast but let's give credit where it's due. Megan BEEN called him a cosplay gangster. 🤷🏽♀️
Huh? Where did Drake ever claim to be a gangster? Yall are just saying anything at this point. Just a few weeks ago Drake was too soft and sang too much. Now he’s trying to be a thug? He’s never rapped about any of that stuff…
Lmaoooo bro he has songs called mob ties he pretends like he’s tough and he got ppl like Ak saying vague shit like “ he was a demon in Toronto I’m not trying to turn this into war and chiraiq “ drake very much tries to be tough come on now
@@cmyskinsfanbro are you delusional he has always portrayed himself as hood ??? Bro ran around Memphis repping some random town hes never been from let alone half his lyrics talking about crime and criminal content where have you been do you even know who your talking about it?
I also remember when Drake started rapping. I was a freshman in high school. He was still on Degrassi and they were promoting his music videos on the network at one point. I remember thinking “he ain’t gon make it” 💀
I remember this time period is when I started seeing his music. comeback season was out and thats when I gave him a chance but he eventually started following new direction with his music when the industry started to clown him for signing and rapping.

Speaking from my own white suburban upper middle class perspective, I think I understand why Drake does this. When you grow up listening to art from people who've survived unimaginable physical and spiritual turmoil you start to associate good art with pain. This assumption forms that in order to be a great artist, you have to have a determination that can only be born in you when you come up from nothing. And when you've never worried about where your next meal will come from, or if you even have a future at all, you get insecure. You feel like you don't have anything meaningful to contribute. To deal with this you can either do as Drake does, dress yourself in traditions you don't know anything about while leaning on tenuous connections to your culture of choice to essentially steal valor, or you can recognize the truth about art which is that the secret ingredient is not pain. It's *truth.* The reason the great rappers from the streets are great isn't because their childhoods were violent and painful, it's because they chose to express their experiences in ways that provide entertainment, meaning, and peace to others. Being a rapper who sings isn't the problem. Being soft isn't the problem. Being half-white isn't the problem. Dishonesty is.
That's a fantastic comment

Torontonian here- Drake grew up in an area called Forrest Hills.
Thats not just any regular suburb of toronto, thats one of the richest areas in the entire city to live in, its not even close, its the UBER rich area. The only thing close to it in cost would be the downtown core area penthouses. The houses there are 30k+ sq ft / 100 room mansions, right in the middle of the city.
Its where the CEOs and star athletes live
yeah there's some rough areas of toronto its not all good here, but like i'm 99% sure aubrey's never been in one before putting on this fake persona unless he was driving through it in a car

No, a culture vulture is someone who takes from a particular culture without giving credit to said genre, culture, or its people. Drake has not only embraced multiple scenes/genres in music, he’s put on its people and made these already popular cultures more easily accessible to the public.
UK: Dave, Headie, Giggs, Jorja, etc are prime examples of embracing a culture and putting on its people.

What does “growing up white” mean exactly.
I’d love to read the mental gymnastics behind this one given that 48% of all homeless/poor are white.
💯
so having a stable home life is white ?
This was a truly succinct definition of 'cultural appropriation'. It's not about race as much as life experience. Eminem is all white and never tried to say he wasn't. But it was his genuine life experience that made him relatable from the start.
Good point!
Eminem has more street cred than white boy Drake
yep.
This. What I've been telling people.
Exactly that, Eminem tapped into lower/working class white kids that liked rap. We don't gangbang or represent colours but we are poor as shit too, surrounded by drugs, alcohol and abuse

That's why appropriation and appreciation must be scrutinized going forward. A LOT of his fans have been delusional, downright disrespectful and very entitled.
There’s a lot of hypocrisy and issues in black culture that we never wanna acknowledge. That’s the real issue
and when it comes to hating on drake that’s a perfect example of this. Your comment describes what it SHOULD BE. but people like Kendrick constantly move the goalposts about what it means to be “black” whenever it’s convenient to tear someone else down.

"Started From the Bottom was about his career as a rapper"
1) Already being a famous teen actor with money and connections in the entertainment industry automatically disqualifies his claim of starting from the bottom in his rap career.
2) Lil Wayne, the most popular rap artist at the time and now arguably considered one of the best, took Drake under his wing, signed him to his label, and mentored him.
He didn't start from the bottom even in terms of his rap career.

That feature on Travis album is still goated
😂😂😂 very true I love Justin
@@GodaerentalosBieber was hated in the early 2010’s for two reasons. First, the obnoxious amount of hip hop stars that were featuring on his tracks, people knew damn well the only reason for those features is because Usher wanted to build Justin into an RnB/Hip Hop star and use his connections to make more cash off Justin’s success, and the majority of people weren’t having it (myself included, that’s not Justin’s lane, he’s a pop star and a damn good one, but he’s not Usher, The Weeknd, etc.). Second, his early relationship with Selena Gomez was extremely public, especially their breakup; his entire life was shoved into people’s faces, but the relationship in particular became such a recurring obsession in the media that it created problems between the two, and it damaged both of them mentally and emotionally.
The difference here is that Justin and Drake are entirely different. Justin never tried to be something he wasn’t, even with all those features he still only made pop tracks. He didn’t act like he was some champion of the less fortunate, or pretend that he endured the same struggles and experiences of those he featured with. Drake did. Justin isn’t perfect, never has been, he was raised in a shitty industry that used and abused him for profit, but for the most part he’s honest, about himself, his upbringing, his past and mistakes. Drake isn’t. As Kendrick said in MTG, Drake lies, he lies about everything, his personality, career, all of it is fake.
I remember when drake straight up changed the meaning of what a freestyle is. He had a freestyle years ago it was one of his first radio show appearances, where he literally rapped with the blackberry out reading it. And everyone just let it slide, and from then now a “freestyle” is just a verse over a beat you’ve never heard. He literally took the talent aspect out of being an artist
Bruh 😂😂😂😂 I remember that I was straight out of high school.
He got made fun of for that and then niggas started doing it. It’s like the call for fame is too strong for people to double down on skills worthy of such attention. They want it now.
A lot of people called that out at the time. Drake has always been a fake ass swaggerjacker, a walking meme and an obvious industry plant / nepo baby for a while now, Kendrick just reminded people lol
Eminem did that shiii too, not with a blackberry Buh how you memorize something and call it a freestyle?

I'm white, from an upper middle class background. Culturally, that "where's my sandwich" could be from my childhood. Down to the way the mom is talking, the stuff that's out on the counter. And obviously the room itself. It kind of shocked me
Francis’s story is CRAZY. His journey from Cameroon to Europe is nuts. It’s amazing he even survived. The guy he was traveling with didn’t.
RIP HIS SON BTW
The temper tantrum about his mommy not getting him the right sandwich is UNREAL LEVELS OF CRINGE
The struggle is real.....
i only love my bed and my mama im sorry 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
It's just a spoilt only child.
Yea cuz Drake is the only teenager to ever complain to their parents. Y’all make up new shit to hate on him every day lmao
Look at what you’ve done and you and the 6 are thank you letters to his mom
@@leultrainstinct406 bro is drake paying you to defend him full time? I see you in all these replies goddamn get a job or something
You hit the nail on the head, its not that he's not black enough. It's that he's inauthentic. He puts on different personas to be cool and make hits but none of it feels real. Can't go against a true artist when that's your M/O.
So being black means you have to be ghetto? I don’t understand there’s no way to be “black enough” that sounds hella you know what.
Especially trying to act like he from hood hoods in the us. He brave for that lol
Then why aren't white people mad at him for making shitty pop songs that top the charts when he's not Black like Mike, Jack?
No kidding - I’m white and your explanation of why the black community needs outlaws to balance power kind of blew my mind. Never heard it explained that way, but it makes a lot of sense.
My daughter watched Degrassi, and I watched it with her. When I saw "Jimmy" from Degrassi rapping, I thought it was a joke. I never, at any point, stopped thinking it is a joke.
This. There will forever be qay porn in drake's locker.
Lmao when u realize that even jimmy had a rougher life than Aubrey💀💀💀

This is why white rappers like Eminem still have respect. He was secure enough in his talent to never fake any street cred, and he kept his beef with mostly other white rappers. He appreciated the culture but never tried to claim it as his own. Respect. Be yourself.

Remember Drake is an actor. An actor imitates life and people around them. Hang around an actor for awhile.
Facts thats why he chilled with Yachty
Yep
Funnily enough the role he is known the best for is playing Wheelchair Jimmy, which apparently he hated because he didn't like playing a disabled guy because he thought it made him look weak. He couldn't separate the character and himself which any normal actor is able to do. So he had trouble being an actor as well.

So many people forgot where Drake really came from. This hard persona hes been flaunting for so long is just comical.
“Only became ‘black’” -how do you become black? His father is African American 🤔 you are super ignorant and obviously doesn’t know what culture vulture means. Also, the identity crisis line is over used. His music identity has remained the same. He has experimented with styles of music but that doesn’t mean he does not know who he is. If he was having an identity crisis, we would not associate a sound to his name.
Wait, you're telling me a child actor from Canada on a children's TV show grew up and started acting like someone he's not? What a shock, I never would have guessed. Next you're gunns tell me he's never been a gangster!

@whenimmanicimgodly4228 no. He's just saying people forgot.
The kids that were between ages 3 and 8 when he dropped probably didn't know about his past the way we did. I was in my 20s when he dropped. Even some of us didn't connect the dots. I had never seen nor heard of Degrassi, but when I learned he was a child star, I knew he didn't have time to be in the streets like us. I'm from Dekalb County (Zone 6). I knew there was no way he wasn't a sucka, but he played us good. We can't keep letting mess like that happen. He's not like us. He doesn't care about us. I'm glad he's out tbh.
@JusFnKevn I grew up watching degrassi and I've ALWAYS thought drake was creepy and I didn't even know he was the degrassi kid for a while.

It's funny to contrast Drake to Snow (the guy who did the song 'Informer' in the 90s). He was a white Canadian who grew up in the projects around overwhelmingly black Jamaicans, joining a gang and beginning to speak in patois - before going to prison several times for gang related assaults.
A Canadian guy with a stage name that literally refers to how white he is, is a more legitimate gangster than Drake.
yes sir
Even Snow clarified this in the song informer:
..." People dem say ya come from Jamaica
But me born an' raised in the ghetto that I want ya to know-a
Pure black people man that's all I man know.."
- Snow.

Drake literally dropped gentrified soca in 2016 with one dance, controlla, and hotline bling. During this time, Bruk off Yuh Back by Konshens and Fever by Vybz blew up.
At this time dancehall, soca, and Caribbean culture in general was gaining a lot of traction on a global scale. Then he took things a step further and signed Popcaan to OVO only after featuring on some of Popcaans songs to make money off of Carribbean culture (at this time in 2016 Caribbean culture was “trendy”). Mind you, this white boy don’t even speak Creole. And although Popcaan was in Controlla Drake didn’t put Popcaan as an artist on the song in his album (views).
Out of no where around this time he also stopped speaking English and started speaking what he called Canadian slang which is literally just different variations of Caribbean Creolese but he called it slang disrespecting various languages that were built from oppression. These languages are a testament to the Caribbean peoples resilience.
When reggaeton blew up guess what he did, dropped Mia. Mind you, He can’t even speak Spanish.
There’s so many more examples of Drake doing this.
That album more life, don’t get me started with the amount of Caribbean language used in that album that he claimed as “Toronto slang”. As a Guyanese person I have always disliked Drake for this. This is our language. It’s part of our way of life. It’s not some “slang” for you to mock.
Drake literally hops on every single cultural trend you can think of and monetizes it. He is quite frankly the definition of a culture vulture.
I find this very disrespectful. He doesn’t even respect the values of the cultures, he actually mocks them. Not to mention, a lot of people in the Caribbean are poor and our culture is all we have.
Edit:
This why k-dot called him a colonizer because he exploits every cultural trend and said cultures artists.
all facts, and tbh I wasn’t able to really see all this clearly until kendrick completely exposed how much drake has been a culture vulture his entire career during this beef. drake has taken vastly more than he’s given back to the culture but held is such high regard and that’s one of the reason kendrick despises him.
He did the same with UK grime. I’m from the UK and a grime fan and it would piss me off having to hear Drake talk about ‘catties’ and his ‘off the radar’ freestyle rapping in UK slang.
@@Kabia11 Cattie is a Jamaican term. It’s not slang. This is part of my point. He and others have taken an actual language and dubbed it “Toronto slang” or “uk slang”. It’s so bad to a point now where people who are racist, disrespectful, and uninformed on the culture are using the language.
I mean look at Drake he uses so much Creole in his music and he tried to clown Kendrick saying “he raps like he tryna free the slaves”.
Kendrick’s music is healing to those who have grown up facing adversity. His last album was my favorite of all time. Kendrick a grown man recovering from trauma and being vulnerable to share that with the world through his music. His last album, Mr. Morals and the Big Steppers was about Kendrick going to therapy. Father Time my favorite record on that album. It’s him rapping about how his father figure abused him in childhood and how that affected him as a grown man.
Grown man rapping about issues that the culture and world stays away from. It’s sad because it’s become a common joke on how common single parenting is in the black community. When people joke and say “my dad left to get milk but he didn’t come back”. not Kendrick tho, he realizes it’s nothing to joke about and that it’s serious because children need their dads. That’s a legend right there. His music is healing.
Meanwhile almost all of Drakes music isn’t written by him and he literally monetizes every cultural trend that pops off. Also Drake never raps about meaningful and deep stuff like Kendrick does.
On slime you out this white boy (drake) literally said “whipped and chained you like American slaves” comparing what he did in bed with ethnic women to American slavery. He’s been doing this racist, white supremacist shit for a minute now. Someone needs to humble him. Him using Caribbean language but mocking slavery is not okay especially because the Caribbean has a horrible past of slavery. My parents grew up pre independence in Guyana and my grandparents were actual slaves. The audacity to make money off a culture but clown their past struggles that still impacts us today in various ways is bare schupidness.
Besides that point tho yeah he hopped on the UK grime trend too.
Drake been on skunt.
Now that mexican music is poppin now he wants our culture too and he’s trying to do it by having chinito pacas rep ovo 😂 is he gon a start hanging out w cartel mafia guys now too? Since that part is soo ingrained into mexican corridos, boy he do not wanna mess w those ppl fr 😂
There is a Jamaican community in Toronto, so there is a Caribbean influence there. HOWEVER, Drake does not come for that culture, can’t claim a culture or background just because you’re from the same city. There’s an old video of him saying some Toronto slang is “ignorant” and that he doesn’t talk like that, only to talk exactly like that years later.

“The bottom is not the hood. That’s just not how the world works. A lot of people have to work for a lot of things in life. That’s just what the song is about it’s about being focused on a goal which at times can feel like the bottom because you haven’t achieved it yet. And somehow attaining that goal. Where I’m from has nothing to do with it. It can be if you want it to be, if that’s your story. Everybody has a unique story” drake in 2013 talking about the song.

Drakes a suburbanite upper middle class kid with a predominately white family (i say predominantly because he said he didnt see his dad much, he grew up with his white side).... on the other hand Kendrick is a real street guy, who really comes from the hood and reps hip hop as an actual culture not as a product to expoit and sell like drake.
Also Drake is more palatable to white audiences due to his racial ambiguity, which is also a huge factor in his commercial success because he benefits from white and blavk fans to the maximum capacity.
This beef is not just rap its PRODUCT VS CULTURE, rap was never a product to black people, its literally a huge part of our culture as blavk people 🤞🙏 anyways thats just my thoughts on this topic
Thats so 💯 true
@@Pennedhaus Drake's family is jewish not white.
Drake is pop star that's been allowed to borrow from rap culture at will for profit. That's his design. That was his role and because he has black in him it worked. His success gained him acceptance among the community, a community that watch his head get too big and needed some humbling and some reality checking.
While Drake was acting, our lives were literally in danger if we were outside in the early 2000s. We survived a race war it was so bad, massive fights in school everyone was a target if you looked like an op. Still remeber my dad calling us all to the living room to tell me my bro had been shot and was fighting for his life luckily he survived. Kendrick is right he's not like us, I don't hate Drake and aside from all the pdf stuff he really should just rap about stuff he knows cus he's cosplaying.
Deadass a huge part of a huge part of your culture is embarrassing, listen to the songs from Future and Metro without Kendrick, or any other rap, maybe they shouldn't write their own lyrics. ALSO (white Kendrick fan here) why are Drake's lyrics repeatedly pedophilic if he's not writing them and if so why aren't we looking more at his team since he needs them anyways? I think it's funny how people keep saying that white people are the reason Drake gets propped up over Kendrick sometimes when in reality it really is those 'uncultured' from other countries like the boxer in the video who simply (this has been affirmed by Romanians, Peruvians, Ecuadorians, Turks, Spanish, Mexicans, Filipinos, the Stans, Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian, and many more just personally, that they listen to those top english songs like God's Plan, Hotline Bling, Jumpman, etc. because they are simple and catchy.
My thing is with you commenting as someone who looks to probably be in the same boat as Drake race-wise, what exactly resonates with you in things that rappers outside of Kendrick say to YOU? I get Kendrick spits history and stuff to try and paint a realistic picture of the black struggle in most cases, but where are you seeing ANYTHING that is good for the life of the black WOMAN in music, particularly rap, today? I just don't get how you can sit here and defend either quite frankly, just because Drake lost doesn't mean he didn't get in some blows, fuck his songs were more listenable than Kendrick's still in terms of quality of music. It's just like Kendrick doesn't look better coming out of this, he was really an instigator in this and when you really look at the context of some of the disses against Kendrick, they make him look about as Fake as Aubrey Drake.
He comes from music royalty, his uncle is Larry Graham, one of the most influential and successful funk musicians of all time, and his other uncle was in Al Green's band. He was always gonna have a way into the music industry.

Used to love him until high school at 15 years old and finding out he doesnt even write his raps, and thats the time i started listening to West Coast classics(NWA, Kurupt etc.), Underground rap (Beast Coast, Odd Future) and D12 instead of Trap and all that... the time where i became a huge fan of Black Hippy too... But boy, i did not know Drake was an even bigger fraud than i had previously thought. Im literally only finding out right now at age 24 during this beef lol
That's a good point. I'm old enough to have remember Degrassi and when Drake hit the scene. I always thought he was weird and corny.
I always thought of him as the "safe rapper" for mainstream West.
I remember a decade ago when "Started from the Bottom" was Drake's biggest song, my friends and I would make fun of it every time by singing "Started from Degrassi now we here!"
I never understood how people call Eminem a culture vulture, yet those same people have given Drake a free pass, especially after he paraded around in BLACKFACE.
Em is cool. Drake is not. I've never heard anyone like Drake over Em in the hood. They don't always play Em in the hood but we they don't hate him.
How did someone consider him as culture vulture? He literally grew up in the hood and knows what it be like even tho he's white. And he's not really talk abt it in his songs unlike drake
@@WaltrPnkmn he considers himself a vulture. He's compared himself to elvis in that regard
They both are July
Rev 2:9, 3:9
All the music, entertainment, money etc is own by July very own.
Taylor Swift too
They put their own on top because it's their own business. Everyone else is pawns in a game chase. If they want riches, they must give up a lot .
Drake draconian Dracula
Started from the bottom wasn't talking about his career
6th god... 6 is falling, unlike 9 is rising
Toronto is cold....... That's the opposite of jungles aka heaven
Toronto raptors... Drake is old as dinosaurs aka Draconian wanna be dragons.
Get his some of his tweets now ?
@@shinyyoungstar931 Take your meds
“ion LIKE Drake when he ACT tough”
I’ve known ultra white people that don’t live as white as Drake.
The fact being black is always associated with being poor and struggling is the real issue in this whole race baiting argument Kendrick brainwashed y’all into thinking
yet none of them became the biggest rapper in the world because they didn’t understand the culture enough or have the skill and talent
Usually drake fans are lower middle class
Drake didnt even grow up Lower middle class and could probablt have a debt and work free college experience.
Kenny sleeps with girls whiter than Drake to boost his self-esteem.

Loved the little tidbits of history in this . Most people needed to know that police started out to catch enslaved people, about the no child behind which hindered public education and So much more . There’s so much history that people don’t know about it’s sad
Oh f*ckin hell. Aubrey's career is OVER. Wayne told him to stay in his land and keep it Canadian and he didn't listen. I'm glad Kendrick put Drake on blast but let's give credit where it's due. Megan BEEN called him a cosplay gangster. 🤷🏽♀️
Child actor turned into adult actor. He acts rap
Right she also talked about his BBL lol these ngas be having the same scars 😩🤣
Huh? Where did Drake ever claim to be a gangster? Yall are just saying anything at this point. Just a few weeks ago Drake was too soft and sang too much. Now he’s trying to be a thug? He’s never rapped about any of that stuff…
Lmaoooo bro he has songs called mob ties he pretends like he’s tough and he got ppl like Ak saying vague shit like “ he was a demon in Toronto I’m not trying to turn this into war and chiraiq “ drake very much tries to be tough come on now
@@cmyskinsfanbro are you delusional he has always portrayed himself as hood ??? Bro ran around Memphis repping some random town hes never been from let alone half his lyrics talking about crime and criminal content where have you been do you even know who your talking about it?
I also remember when Drake started rapping. I was a freshman in high school. He was still on Degrassi and they were promoting his music videos on the network at one point. I remember thinking “he ain’t gon make it” 💀
I remember this time period is when I started seeing his music. comeback season was out and thats when I gave him a chance but he eventually started following new direction with his music when the industry started to clown him for signing and rapping.
Y'all remember J Diggs - Push it Up?!? That's what everyone was bumping ppl said that was the dude we chose. The difference is Aubrey has better connections
@@2muchReality7ven Mhm, exactly. Wish he would have just stayed true to himself. Or like Wayne said “keep it Canadian” lol
@@Shay416 I had to look him up. Nah, I’m from the states. I’ve never heard of that dude, but I can see that everyone in the comments are calling him “the original Drake” haha
And now bro is the most streamed artist on the planet. That's crazy.
The fact that Drake was already 14 when I wasn't even born makes his convos with minors in DMS so much more creepy for sum reason 💀💀💀
Exactly!! I wasn't even here yet!! 😭🤣😂
Exactly!! I wasn't even here yet!! 😭🤣😂
Predator was weak as hell in this movie. Put me in there I'll show em a real predator" Lmfao. This drake guy is unhinged.
