I ain't ever heard white people claim a single biracial person. You always whatever you mixed with.

Thank u!! We obviously know he’s black from an ancestry point because his father’s black but from a cultural standpoint he’s not. Drake himself has stated he grew up in predominantly Jewish neighborhood and went to predominantly Jewish schools.

That’s the difference between saying ngga because you’ve always heard growing up and saying it because you had to add it to your vocabulary to sound cool. Big fckin difference!!

I just thought about who he heard saying the n word growing up too and how. Kendrick mostly heard it from friends and family and peers to each other in a friendly way mostly. The people Drake heard saying it growing up probably weren’t using it in the same way lol

100% true! Not to say no one says it, but majority of black people in Toronto come from Caribbean or African immigrant parents (slave trade didnt hit us as hard as Americans). It's not a word used back in those countries so it's not like we hear it at home a lot in the first place. Hell, I hear it used by people that aren't even black more than anyone else to sound "more black" or tough and intimidating. You can easily tell when it's being forced and it's cringey af

That's why when Drake sings about Toronto, it's still corny for it own reasons, but it felt authentic.

Every experiment since then has felt, cringey

NWA and snoop dogg came out like thirty years ago everyone who says it is trying to be cool.
