haters start your engines.

speaks to larger economic issues (or not?)

the million dollars of corporate money invested in Drake as a bonafide cash cow can go a long fuckin way towards everyday people's financial struggles

cheap

but deep

People seem to connect with the "ease" in these songs the most though..

I mean dude went to Jamaica... West Africa... UK on last album trying to connect the dots in world music and people said he fell off... Nothing on the last album hit in the club like "Fake Love"

So I guess he giving the people what they want..

He has so many tracks that sound like "throwaway" or little effort songs that turn into monster hits.

Hotline Bling
Passionfruit
Controlla
One Dance
0 to 100

All them songs sound like he made them in one shot in one studio session.


Compare that to some Kanye tracks which sound like he and a gang of musicians had been working on them for months.

But I think making effortless music is part of Drake's talent.

As far as World Music, the cats who appreciated his last album the most were already listening to dancehall, afro-pop and the cats who didn't like it weren't.

I think it would be cool if he made some new fans out of world music.

From that point on... I’m Team Drizzy.

Dallas Cavericks LETS GO!!

But this nigga gave away a million in the hood....

Diddy, wayne, jay, none of them have ever done that...

but the way this was done was beautiful.

I’m sure both make donations and you don’t have to show us or brag about it for it to have the same impact.

We do so much flossin in videos but this shit right her? This is how you elevate the game

for this

I mean..wyd


www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

This is dope.

When that family was on that ledge I guess posing for a picture. And he just sat next the little girl for like 10 seconds posing with them.

Mom falls out when she turns and notices.

Great video

other than making my family secure, this is the reason i want to be wealthy. i want to fund people's dreams.

just need reminders we aint completely off the deep end.

>just need reminders we aint completely off the deep end.

The director of the video must be acutely aware of this too.

"HEY, LOVE EACH OTHER" is a rebel yell nowadays forreal. I'm glad that people are being so heavy-handed with it. It's better than chasing folks around trying to prove that they're corrupt/racist/somehow really bad (CNN for instance). We already know these folks are corrupt! What do we do about it now!?

But yeah, kind of had a dude fucked up in the game.

would he have done this if his last two albums were received well?

this feels like PR to win people back over (a stupid nigga even said in this post "Im team Drake now"), yet no one is talking about whether or not the song is good

The song has been out and number one for weeks.. it was already discussed.

Your hypocrisy is showing.

people tearing down two black women on the rise is not the equivalent of me saying a rapper who blew up in 2009 that's now worth $90 million made a move for publicity

The fact you hating on this tells us so much about yourself.

You come off as a bitter, hypocritical, bitch ass nigga with this type of argument.

Never change bro

thats my thing, who the fuck points a camera at anything they do for any reason other than to share it? that fact isnt lost on anyone, i dont think

i cant even get into a debate about it, i saw a montage of black people happy in 2018 and that will forever be some dope shit to watch. im not picking this shit apart.

sure, skip over my point about his relevance decreasing. just curse and say Im hating/bitter at the age of 45

Told you I wasnt the only one who sees it. I think you mad that you dude put out a video the same day of day prior and it got no love, although it should have cause the song is dope and video is supppppper dope. But this taking the shine hurts your should and it makes me laugh. I love it.

Also your ass is 45? Lol

"you dude put out a video" is this about Kendrick? because I've said elsewhere on this board that I dont care about the Black Panther soundtrack and that I wasnt fond of DAMN. so there goes that theory

But this taking the shine hurts
>your should and it makes me laugh. I love it.

I have no clue what this says or means. You and I know that Drake is no longer the biggest rapper out, I dont care about that either. Really all I care about is music that I find to be dope

You see how everyone reacted when they saw him? Not one of them went, "Oh your last album was trash so you get no props from me fam." He's one the biggest artists in the world, he don't need to win anybody over, he already won.

And a lot of people liked More Life.

I was gonna make a sarcastic post hating on Drake for giving people money while the camera was on but I forgot where I was lol

>don't need to win anybody over, he already won.

I heard God's Plan for the first time in an Uber this past week, all I noted is it sounds like the music he's been making the past four years. I didnt have a negative word to say when the story broke that he gave away money. Now that I see it's for a video, I think it's seeking to promote his brand as a good guy (worthy of support despite his musical quality being on the decline for years)

only weirdos will make this about me being a big Kendrick fan from 2011-2016 or anything deeper than the point I made, but I know where Im posting this

i can't even address the stench of fuckboiness that oozes off this hot take

who gives a shit about why he did it? lmao...nigga act like he was the Canadian killmonger and shit

holy fuck

it's a fuckin video...it was planned...you have nothing but bias and hate guiding you to the fact that a nigga that is effortlessly still swimming in dough with mediocre single after mediocre single is so unsettled by this RICH ASS mediocrity that he nefariously GIVES AWAY MONEY on camera as a negative

how fam? lmao

>i can't even address the stench of fuckboiness that oozes off
>this hot take

you created the word fuckboiness, salute big man

>it's a fuckin video...it was planned...you have nothing but
>bias and hate

I've gone on record stating how I feel about his music (not for me, so I dont hear it unless Im in an Uber)
this post isnt about his music
you throw around the word hate very easily

the fact that a nigga that is
>effortlessly still swimming in dough with mediocre single
>after mediocre single is so unsettled by this RICH ASS
>mediocrity that he nefariously GIVES AWAY MONEY on camera as a
>negative

we agree he's mediocre
where am I unsettled? where did I say it was a negative thing?

I think my point was pretty clear, he did it so easily impressed people can look past his reign no longer being what it was

Song still sucks though lol...

But I’m all for seeing the smile on those people’s faces.

Was it a PR stunt? Maybe...but as long as it’s not fake I’ve got nothing against it.

this vid is hilariously bad and sad.
and i'm really sympathetic to the people in the struggle, i just think the video is made in poor taste.

charity ftw! let's go shopping.

How can you hate?

>Gotta luv capitalism.


(Economic) freedom ftw.

Drake out here just having fun while these fake deep niggas get the hype.

Drake is definitely best artist of his era right now and this video proves it.

It's got Scheming Drake walking down the stairs getting the celeb holla.

It's got charity Drake Deboing dude by hugging his spouse.

It's got Stunting Drake hopping out the whip.

Do this for THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY DRAKE. Come through with the Stimulus Package to help coeds out.

its a direct counter to the dominant visuals of We-made-it-ism (made this up) and consumerism seen in rap videos

people are suffering in abject poverty while singing along to songs about having it all while NOT having anything in real life

so its good to see the visuals shift for a second to showing real people being directly gifted life changing sums of money or gestures

I loved that it wasnt just stacks being handed out but it was stacks, food, scholarships, etc.

I'm happy to see this

edit: Oh yeah, I cried some good tears.

You have to hate

but that doesn't change the sentiment, nor the impact his 'gift' had on the people's lives involved.

I like it.

That song fucking suuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Why does he insist on releasing the same shit every time he drops a single ?!

But man - that video. Mega, uber, super props to Drake for that. PR stunt or not that idea and execution was effing tremendous. So many tear-inducing moments.

I only heard a snippet before seeing the video so the visuals really saved it.

This should only be available on YouTube

from the beat to the rapping.
i don't know what Drake saw in this song to make him want to put it out as a single. i think it needs a remix but the super fans seem to like anything he puts out.

ps I'm a Drake fan.

I get individual tastes mean you ain't got to like it.

But the delusional part is thinking because you don't like it, it's impossible anybody else can like it and the song was a mistake on his part DESPITE the song being a super smash success.

I really find it quite fascinating to behold.

Unless you think Trump is a great/worthy president because the public voted him in

Or you think McDonald's is good food because it's consumed by millions

Or you think crack was a good thing because lost black people loved it

Some things are just popular and successful
