That’s Drake’s thing, finding angles to sell his music. He’s not going to sell music, being himself, otherwise, he’d be underground. He swoops into parts of hip hop that’s gaining success and exploits it. With Kendrick damaging his image, it’s going to be difficult for Drake to find an angle to fulfill his $400million contract with Universal because nobody wants to be associated with a publicly crowed pedo.

The answer is yes! so is DJ Vlad!

For Drake I agree. For Vlad I disagree. TLDNR version: Vlad doesn’t TAKE money OUT of the culture. Vlad does make money OFF of it though. FULL EXPLANATION: The difference being Drake copying accents and sounds and using ghost writers etc, effectively boxes out other artists from profiting off of their art. A random UK drill Artist MIGHT have a chance to crossover and make it big in the US but ppl like Drake copy and steal their style saturating the market. Vlad by comparison critiques the culture by interviewing ppl from the culture. Yes you could argue he is boxing out other cultural critics which is true but in this case it’s useful. A culture CAN’T fully critique itself because a system can’t be fully understood from within the System. This is how ppl like Vlad can be useful, NOW that said he probably doesn’t do the BEST job of this as I’ve outlined above. But I like to keep at least one external critic of the culture who is literate of the culture in my feed. I’m currently shopping around for a better alternative than Vlad. Anthony Fantano maybe? Im open to Any suggestions?

@@interloc1290 Vlad is not black and shouldn’t be critiquing nobody at and making money from our culture and then turn around and talk trash about certain people of the culture is a big problem. Who told you it was good for you to speak about black culture. And Drake is black I don’t know where you are getting this idea he is copying what black culture do yeah he was raised different that doesn’t make him less black or less HIP HOP

Ryan was 100% right. We've seen and heard the messed up things Drake is capable of doing publically, so I can't even begin to nor do I want to imagine or speculate what happened behind the scenes that resulted in so many fallouts and he's the common denominator in everyone of them.

J Cole has COMPLETELY embraced the Black culture (like a Halle Berry). There is a huge difference no matter what your skin tone is.

As a mulatto myself...i stopped fckn with Drake a min ago. It became obvious he was in it for the fame, while my brotha Cole on the other hand has always had a purpose. Popularity vs. Purpose thats how i saw this battle. And Kendrick proved which one will stand the test of time.

Yes. He is a culture vulture.

Drake should've been real and talk about his experiences in a white household as a mixed race kid Talk about his experiences with his father's people at Memphis when he was around them Talk about the identity crisis when he was coming of age He doing everything but being real and that makes it hard for him to shrug culture vulture accusations since people feel he isn't being sincere especially with all that tough guy mob talk

Drake mama is white too lol these two r crazy 😂 nah! Cole understands the struggle, drake doesn't and he want to.

Drake Father side played a pivotal role in the music scene in Memphis. His uncle was a mentor to prince and played with sly and the family stone. His Dad and mother are musician as well. His family invented the slap bass sound. How on earth can one be a culture vulture when you come from a musical lineage like that. The main resentment of drake is coming from darkskin black men feeling away towards a light skin black man. It's rooted in jealousy, envy and colorism. drake has deep familial family roots in music, and you can see it in some of his interactions caught on video with his father were he's rapping at a young age.

Do you know what colorism is? Because light skinned people benefit from it they are not victims of it and implying otherwise is just ignorant!

I love both. And as I said it. KDot is the best lyricist right now ever. But Drake is the biggest rapper right pop rap star or not he’s bigger than KDot. But the only thing I completely disagree with many of you is the fact to call Drake culture vulture. Damn. Drake father is from Memphis even if he was born in Canada Drake has US blood in him, secondly, he’s half black. Third his father and his uncle were great artists in Memphis, so in the blood too, thirdly, Drame used to spend time with his grandma at Memphis since his childhood, so when you’re a kid it’s easy to have multiple native accent. When Adonis speaks French he’s has it, when he speaks English he has it. Then, We all watch Drake and his father footage rapping and singing since he was eight. And concerning his childhood, he wasn’t raised in rich Jew family and black family. Both sides were obviously below middle class. And it was his acting at his teenage that helped his mother and him to live befoere embracing a full time rap career. If this guy made it in US and be come beyond the borders with all this crazy numbers, that means he got talent, lil Wayne wouldn’t have signed him if he didn’t recognize his talent in hip hop. So the hatred should stop. And if he’s bigger than your legit rappers that means they have to work on themselves and don’t blame a guy who knows where he’s going

J.Cole embrace his black side not just that he look as a light. Drake only embraced his black side when his career took off. Also look at how they grew up. I'm mixed white mom but was raised by my pops all my potners always called me white boy as a joke if we was bagging nothing serious cause I would bust out an laugh so the fact that gets under his skin let's it be known the boy got thin skin and wouldn't survive he 100% would of have been food for cats

Over here in Canada, growing up in a mixed community, we always mixed with each other. Ate each others food, listened and sang each others music, embraced each others cultures while accepting our differences. This racial gatekeeping is so weird to me

Who gives af about the culture… it’s nothing to be proud of 🤷🏾‍♂️🧘🏾‍♂️

Regardless of the fact, both of them, Drake & Kendrick, are mamzers. If you don't know what a mamzer is, then look it up.
