This will be fun to play out
13248873, was that Big Freedia and 5th Ward Weebie?
Posted by shygurl, Sat Apr-07-18 07:59 AM
I always say I'm not a Drake fan, but he stay with a bop. This is nice. My only criticism is the lack of any dark skinned women in the video.
13248876, There's a bunch of dark skinned women tho; Issa Rae, Syd, etc
Posted by BigReg, Sat Apr-07-18 09:28 AM
I think you got thrown off because for some reason Olivia Munn's got half the cameo shots; which is kinda bizarre...is she hip-hop? LOL. She's like five years removed from when they would throw her in random movies/tv shows as white eye candy also.
13248879, people be flat wrong trying to find an angle to hate on drake
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sat Apr-07-18 09:32 AM
13248884, nobody is hating on Drake.

13249107, i saw someone on twitter was like 'name one woman in the drake
Posted by GROOVEPHI, Mon Apr-09-18 09:23 AM
video that has two black parents"... like WTF yo.
13248883, I should have been more clear in my statement
Posted by shygurl, Sat Apr-07-18 09:49 AM
There are brown skinned women in the video absolutely, but I wanted more women with a deeper skin tone. Issa is probably the darkest woman in the video, but there's nobody with say a Lupita skin tone.

You gotta have more balance when representing women is all I am saying.
13248897, If you really believed that then why aren't you saying
Posted by Heinz, Sat Apr-07-18 12:27 PM
there should be Asian, Brown, First Nation, Spanish, Italian, Pasty White Trash women etc.......You ain't really mad about misrepresentation of women in the video you just want representation for you and your beliefs. Theres more that makes up the representation of women than white and different skin tones of black women.

That should be made more clear IMO.

At no point does my statement preclude further representation. But, seeing as I am a black woman, who grew up in a black community surrounded by black women and girls, there is no shock in my championing for better representation of black women. If you also feel passionate about better representation of a marginalized group, please feel free to post and advocate for them. I will be behind you with cheers and banners.

Also, after those initial thoughts I posted, my next thoughts were that it was missing Asian representation and Tina Guo (cellist who did the Wonder Woman theme ) would have been awesome in it.
13248951, Sooooo yes
Posted by Heinz, Sat Apr-07-18 11:12 PM
Cool

Look at this picture, look at Daniel Kaluuya. That's the tone I want to see. Not taking from anybody else in the video, because everybody is beautiful, but I want more.

13248926, Drake is living proof that nice guys don't have to finish last.
Posted by Shaun Tha Don, Sat Apr-07-18 05:20 PM
By the way, nice song.
13248957, Drake is not a nice person...
Posted by Kira, Sun Apr-08-18 01:21 AM
Do you have a significant other? Imagine she or he is out partying and some scumbag calls her up dumb late at night talking about leave you for him.

Drake is that guy.

Look at what he did to Meek.
Look at what he did to that dude from Toronto that had that funny dance that wound up getting kicked out his own crew.

This Drake a nice guy myth needs to go swim in the ocean.

I'm hating because this women doesn't have enough dark black women. Give me some Amara La Negras in the video. That is not meant to paint these women as objects but to request that all shades of beauty find representation in this video.
13248960, Damn near every major rap artist ever has done grimy shit

It's hard to reach that level (stadium status) without stepping on a few peoples backs
13249120, Every major rap artist? Every dude ever.
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Apr-09-18 09:43 AM
He is a bad person for trying to spit game to a girl in a relationship?

Getting into beefs with people?

Who hasn't done any of this?

13248972, What did he do to Meek besides best him in a rap battle?
Posted by Adwhizz, Sun Apr-08-18 10:07 AM
Didn't Meek start that beef because he was Mad Drake didn't
promote his album on Twitter.

Drake put out two diss tracks, did I miss something?


Admittedly Drake comes across as an asshole/douchebag in some of his songs, but is dude known for actually doing shit like that in real life ?
13249084, Dope vid...what's the message though?
