7 hot takes I had to leave out of my Drake video

I take back what I said. Kendrick isn't Batman, he's Ozymandias.

I’m watching this 2 years later and he still does this shit. Who blows tf up this summer? Ella Langley. Guess who is right there at her concert, meeting up with her back stage? Drake

U forgot to mention “yo Dot I got you!” Just like Kendrick. Respect.

No one cares that kendrick only called out a predator when his own name was on the line? He’s still buddies with the other abusers. This is so stupid

22:55 I feel like Drake is, in fact, a manipulator. That doesn’t mean he’s smart 😂 The fact that Kendrick telegraphed all his moves and he still chose to go through with all of them in the exact manner Kendrick predicted just showed how unprepared Drake was. Taking a bit of what you said in the original video, Drake survived a lot of disses and pretty large scandals with barely a scratch — maybe that’s why he was so reckless with it all. Perhaps he didn’t think Kendrick was willing to go that far, but we all know how that went.

Kendrick has left a bit of a sour aftertaste in my moth, mostly because of the usage of women’s pain to prove a point when we have some evidence he don’t really walk that walk. However, I think he gave Drake plentyyyyy of chances to back off and shut up. Speaking of Kendrick as a villain, he was literally monologuing about how and when and why he was going to end Drake, and he still wasn’t smart enough to take the hint.

On that last point, wish you mentioned that drake and Kendrick are from the same label. I know that’s well known, and maybe there is genuine nuance there (also sorry if you mentioned this elsewhere alr), but I think it’s worth reframing the whole conversation of cultural capital through the fact that this beef dissolves to dollars, that the same corporate entity which facilitated the death of culture through Drake gets to point the finger at itself through Kendrick, and perhaps we might have to acknowledge the uncomfortable fact that it’s all performance to an extent. Of course I’d love to hear some pushback too, these are just some thoughts that I’ve had

That's not the women Wayne was with at the time.

you definitely should've kept in point #2

17:25 latina here, rock bands are still very around. they sound different than ever before. would love to talk to you about this as im in the atl area. theres a new wave of music alive here in the east coast that combines hardcore, emo, screamo, and electronic elements that queer people are pioneering. dead butterflies, yoshi douglas, and your arms are my cocoon are just to name a few. its not dominant, but its new and underground and so fucking exciting to queer nerds like us 🙂

I'm on board with the general analysis of what Drake's music and presence is doing on a larger scale to the hiphop/rap/r&b genre. But the more I listen, the more I'm thinking: if it wasn't this Drake it would have been some other guy. When you mentioned the Wal-Mart and Amazon parallel, I'm like YES, we are living in an age where SOMEONE, if not Sam Walton then some other guy and if not Jeff Bezos then some other guy, was going to notice the conditions of the market and society and do this mass producing/low price/diluting of goods/services. It's almost like Drake stepped into a historical moment and became this thing. Sure, he had to work to get there, but there was GOING to be some person to see this and exploit it. It was a niche ripe for the taking. It is inevitable almost. It's not something we can work AGAINST. It's something we have to live ALONGSIDE. There is no fixing it. There is only figuring out how to live parallel to the Drakes of the world because conditions created him and will continue to create people like him.

These walls told me all I needed to know about who Drake was dealing with

"Where are the rock bands, White People?!"

Sweden.

No, seriously, there's an entire movement of metal revival that you'd never hear about, because a hot eighty, to eighty five percent of it is European. And a large portion of that is Swedish.

7:50 SZA was born in 89. She and Drake are 3 years apart. A 19 yr old dating a 22 yr old isn't sus. I'll give you the rest.

The picture you used for the “Ethiopian model” is actually Jimmy Jam’s daughter… but yes there was a phase where they had an inappropriate friendship

I can wrap this issue with Drake up real quick for yall. Your issue is with the establishment. And Drake happens to be the face of that in black music.

I needed 24 minutes to notice your orange cassidy shirt 😀

I wanna see FD talk ab Death Note

And i loved every moment 🔥
Thx

LOLLLLLLL OMG AT 14:29 WHEN YOU SAID "DRAKE IS A LOT LIKE…" AN AD FOR VAGINAL DEODORANT CAME UP AND IT LITERALLY WENT "DRAKE IS A LOT LIKE…VAGINAL SUPPOSITORIES"

17:29 IKNOW IM SORRYYY

8:09 they would, it would allow them to be closer/ get a chance to meet Drake. Mothers did the same thing to their daughters with R. Kelly.

11:02 his shit is vulnerable and also TOXIC af 😂

"Real Italian food! Straight from Chicago!"
😅

26:17 fav change to make to the lyrics as a white person is to go “you’re just like us!! You’re just like us!!”
