>For one thing, it might be easier to receive Drake as the >conduit for world music if he wasn’t already a notorious >wave-rider. He took half the Weeknd’s album to make Take >Care; hopped on remixes of Migos’ “Versace,” >iLoveMakonnen’s “Tuesday,” and Wizkid’s >“Ojuelegba” to share in their moments; torpedoed “Cha >Cha”’s chart run with “Hotline Bling” (premiered on >OVO Sound Radio as a “Cha Cha” remix); sapped the energies >of international sensations for “One Dance” and >“Controlla” (which arrived on Views without the leaked >Popcaan verse); and fast-tracked What a Time to Be Alive with >Future and Metro Boomin to capitalize on their momentum. >He’s used Bun B as his Houston liaison and Aaliyah as his >unwitting R&B talisman. He’s a swag vampire, a sound >poacher, and an identity thief. It’s hard to believe his >work as a global ambassador isn’t also mostly self-serving, >or at least in service of building his wider OVO brand.
