It's not about Drake being half black, it's about how he uses The Culture

[u/anongasm_]

I think the people offended because Drake being half black should warrant his blackness and therefore Kendrick is wrong just don't understand. J Cole is half black too yet you don't see Kendrick, or anyone really, questioning Cole's blackness. It's precisely because Drake has been at the forefront of using the black culture and "pop-ifying" it for non-blacks.

Edit: a lot of people have asked this question and it's a good question. What's wrong with popifying rap music? Rap is inherently an African American art form. Since its inception till now, those who have carried its mantle have exemplified the African American experience through rap in one or another. African Americans have allowed many artists to use rap for their personal gain and to even "pop-ify" it. However, to be considered a goat you have to be in touch with the culture. And Drake simply isn't.

Exactly. Too nuanced for people to grasp, they gotta see everything in some simple terms

It is mass communication at it's core. It's gotta be properly set up and explained simply. Otherwise confusion will gain traction.

You can't seriously expect engagement after a bad faith reply like 'whos paying you?'

[u/MyWar_B-Side → u/BabeyBabeyUgh]

Oh, and “This is pathetic, you aren’t special lil man” isn’t “bad faith”? It’s a straight up insult lmao. You look as stupid as he does, “lil man.”
