I’ll agree on that

It is performative. He hasn’t posted much of anything at all he posted a few stories on release day . During his rollout to say “ we don’t f*** with Trump “

Which is common sense feels unnecessary and would overshadow the art

Even if he did release a statement it’s still not action. UMG can copyright strike it . He could work with immigrant foundations

Whatever he does would be critiqued as not enough . It’s performance by people that don’t really speak on these issues . Some of whom said I was foul for thinking bad bunny deserved the Grammy more than Gnx

lol what makes you think I don’t? Because you wouldn’t? You think I’m just hanging around MAGA mfs?

Either way having friends with different political views isn’t the same as having friends with huge audiences that are using those audiences to push those views onto other people.

And having friends with different views damn sure isn’t the same as having THE WHITE HOUSE use your song as a soundtrack to violent dehumanizing deportations.

Drake can be friends with whoever he wants but there’s nothing wrong with coming out and saying hey I don’t agree with this extremely public use of my art and likeness.

Thread is about Drake and I’m seeing Kendrick mentioned in the comments

Got people so stupid they can’t see that this is incorrect even with a clear community note and I don’t even like Adin

Yes, kbots should be called out for their hypocrisy and performativeness

❌️

Yo why his head shaped like a fingerprint

I never understood what makes Kendrick woke. AK has called tpab negro spirituals before.

He’s smart af but at what cost 🤣

Drake in my view is a neoliberal who's probably on some MJ "Republicans buy sneakers too" type s*** when it comes to his business dealings

A lot of those relationships are transactional

He has some views that would be classified as progressive on the broad spectrum of things (although they should be the norm, I'm talking of his Pro Palestinian views, pro choice position) and he publicly congratulated Biden and Harris in 2020 when they won

He even threw shots at ICE on Iceman

I would definitely say at least socially Drake is a liberal

I'm not expecting a f***ing mainstream rapper, never mind the most popular rapper, to be a socialist like come on now (although I would be behind that 100%)

Because woke has no definition. It's just some s*** you throw around to not actually address something

omggg

We must have a different definition of woke

I did think he needs to be cast in a comic book movie

Drake was free Palestine?

I wish he would denounce it. But laying low and not doing s*** doesn’t make him maga. Their stupid White House account uses like every artist music and the only one i know denouncing was Olivia Rodrigo who I’d put through a mattress btw

i can tell you just sit online all day and try to find things to get outraged about

It’s the fact that only certain artist are held to this strict political standard others it’s shrugs

I don’t think every artist Trump attempts to use has to comment especially when the label chooses what’s copy right striked snd they striked everything else

Once you understand AK is a Jamaican immigrant makes you realize all his takes on American black culture / hip hop is the way it is

Remember he got his rise off watching black kids kill each other in the chi

The last bit of your post unnecessary

Question was about Trump and niggas talking about TPAB and Kendrick since they couldn’t answer the simple yes or no question

Was just tryna lighten the mood in here
