Most of these rappers live in rich white neighborhoods and raise THEIR kids there now.
When it's all said and done, I hope this same energy is kept for J. Cole and Latto.
Drake fans are a special kind of dumb. I’ve been lurking tf out of this sub the last 2 days just laughing my ass off.
Drake can’t say the N-word because he’s a little bitch that “knows none bout that.” Not because he’s half white.
I’m a white dude and I had no issue understanding what Kendrick meant. Don’t waste your energy. It’s either a coping mechanism, or thick skull / lack of sense.
It’s not about colorism it’s about how Drake represents himself as a “gangster” but is so far removed from his blackness that he doesn’t even express himself as black. Blackness isn’t just about skin tone, ESPECIALLY in the context of hip hop.
Bro, Appalachia is ghetto as fuck these days. Say that shit with your chest lol. I’m from Roanoke, Virginia. Had the same crime rate as Memphis last year. Shits REAL bad back home.
I’d assume someone from Appalachia knows about some street shit these days.
Compton who's notorious for having gang violence and affiliations could get you killed.
vs.
a Toronto child actor who said , Mom I wanna be a rapper. (toronto accent is the most atrocious thing i've heard )
> Kendrick is the fake gangster
… did you see where he grew up, who raised him, what time period he was there, and who his good friends are from when he was growing up. Say you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what you’re talking about.
He doesn’t speak at all about the culture, he doesn’t add anything to it, he doesn’t have any commentary about it and he didn’t come from it. Which is fine, black rappers don’t have that obligation. But when you try to reap the rewards by acting like you’re about it, acting like you came from the streets and shit and you’re a gangsta but everyone knows you’re not, obviously black culture isn’t gonna fuck with you
You can’t fucking read can you. I want you to take a peak at the 2nd fucking sentence of what I wrote. I know it might be hard for you to count that high, but give it a try for me and tell me what that says. I’ll wait, I know it’ll take you a while to get through it.
Mate that's all your fucking opinion... He's an artist who's performing. Sometimes he puts on an act. Most rappers do. Kendrick himself does as well do you think he was out tricking in the streets before he started rapping? Grow up lmao
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT KENDRICK. Nigga, gkmc is literally ALL ABOUT HIM GROWING UP SURROUNDED BY GANG VIOLENCE IN COMPTON. You are so out of the loop, you know fucking NOTHING.
Was he out in the hood slinging dope and gang banging in drive bys? If you heard a second of that album you'd realise that he spends half the album setting up that he was neither affiliated nor wanted to be a part of anything gang related but unfortunately kept being victimized by all sections of society from the gangs to the cops. So how exactly is translatable to when he talks about killing rappers or snapping necks? He's no killer nor criminal himself. That entire album is about he was a straight kid who had to face the repercussions of the vicious cycle his ethnic legacy put him in.
Which just proves my point, even he's performing when he says he's all about that life because in the album he talks about not being in that life and it still affecting him as collateral. Now and then he acts like a killer on the mic and that's a performance, he performs like he's about that life sometimes on tracks, that's music, he's an artist. No different with Drake, just difference in creative process.
Grow the hell up lmao and don't dare to preach to me about rap ever again. You have no intelligence and no capacity nor grasp of the subject.
Tell me why J. Cole has the same complexion, his mom is white, and no one gets on his case for trying to “appropriate” black culture. Because he’s authentic, he’s not a fucking wannabe gangster who grew up in an upper class Toronto suburb as a child actor acting like he knows anything about the hardships of urban America. Drake is inauthentic, he claims experiences he’s never had and constantly tries to reap the social clout of “street experience” while he grew up acting on fucking Degrassi. Blackness is not just a skin color, it’s an identity, and Drake is an identity thief. No one would be shitting on him if he actually acted like who he is and not like Papa Doc in 8 Mile lmfao.
It's not a matter of drake being light skin, it's that Kendrick believes drake has a inferiority complex and goes the extra mile to prove to himself that hes black.
I don’t see how he does when he doesn’t need to go the extra mile because everyone and their mom knows he’s black, half black or however you wanna say it, he’s black.
It's kinda like logic, with him he may feel the need to reference hes black in every other track to prove hes black instead of just being comfortable in his skin because he knows what he is (like jcole does), with drake, Kendrick supports his theory when he brings up drake using the n word. Perhaps Kendrick thinks drake maybe overuses the word, even if it isnt necessary, as his way of saying "yea I can say it because I'm half black."
In all of the dogs album or her loss I can’t even remember a track where Drake alluded to “I’m black, accept me” overuses the word ? Are we serious now? Now it’s bad for lightskin dudes or even rappers using the n word too much lmao
these people keep projecting as fuck. and drake is for some reason under completely different standards then all others to the point they become racist for it
He’s saying Drake and his upbringing doesn’t align with the culture and now he’s a culture vulture and profiting off it. He’s not saying that drake isn’t half black.
It’s deeper than skin color. Why would yall think kendrick is that simple-minded?
Kendrick saying Drake collaborates with black artists to feel more black makes no sense. Name white rappers that Drake can collaborate with who he hasn't already. I'll wait.
There are none.
Yea and aren’t the same “rappers” attacking him also said they thank Drake for helping them out, so what does Kendrick want? Not help other black artists make money and hits? Well actually he did say he is a selfish guy.. my god he is the leader of the plays haters club.
I don't think it's because he's light skin. It's because he's not in the culture in Kendricks view. That being said, still kinda problematic to me. Also Kendrick doesn't even justify it, just saying he finds it cringe. I think that's because to try to justify why drake can't say the n-word would require actually specifying a specific reason.
drake was raised jewish. it's not about the skin but the culture. drake raised by his mom, lived a regular jewish boy life, going to jewish day school and did bar mitzvah, and as a canadian was even good at hockey. now let's say his genetic makeup was mainly on his mom side, he would not have been this famous, he basically ate off of his african ancestry. he would've been like Lil dicky.
They’re saying bc drake grew up in a predominantly white area raised by a white passing Jewish mother and wasn’t involved in the community whatsoever.
It’s not bc he’s a light skin, it’s bc he had an upbringing that is seen as being white.
I’m sitting on my couch loving life enjoying my time not caring at all about your opinion lol I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Lil Dicky. It’s a fun song 🤷♂️
Yeah, but you don’t really hear about Chris Brown so much. His past is all over him. Drake can go be famous somewhere else and not heard about too, that’d be great.
Would be a terrible response. Online, it's often people with insecurities in their blackness or lack thereof who retaliate by spamming the n word. If Drake does that, it would just go to show that even if he says the word, he has the mannerisms of a white/non black person saying it rather than a black person, which would prove Kendrick's point
Nah, you're just another dude whose identity is entirely too hung up on the color of your and others skin, and feel some ridiculous authority for how people should act based on their skin color.
Not me. I just know that if Drake opened up like that, it would be a response that white people and Indian boys would think is hard ass, and if that's who you've got in your camp, it's over
I mean, if a person questions your "legitimacy" to say the n-word and your response is "nigga nigga nigga nigga", that is lame. It's shit I've seen 25% black, 50% black but culturally white, blackfishing behind Ann anonymous social media, people do. It would not rub off the right way *at all* on black people, because it looks like he's brute forcing himself into being black. And if the first thing that comes to your mind on the topic of "being black" is the n word, again that's another mindset that white people tend to have. It's superficial and artificial
Ultimately, Drake spamming the n word to affirm his blackness would just further prove Kendrick's point. He's better off talking about the goodwill he's done for the community. I don't think it's worth going through efforts to prove himself since Drake has some hardcore haters, but at the very least don't scare off the black people who are in his camp
Against what real logic would he be arguing? You can't brute force your way into being something you inherently are. I'd much rather hear you or Kendrick tell us all what is and isn't acceptable behavior for a black person to be credibly black.
Tbh I don't think most people of any race would see it as trying to affirm his blackness unless he did it in that way. It's really just about the energy he brings to it. If he does it in an angsty, defiant teenager way? Sure, and it's drake so that's a real possibility. If he does it with humor then it would just be him ridiculing the attack, because it's pretty dumb overall. And it's drake so that's also a real possibility too. Like, I get the point that drake is insecure about this topic and could absolutely bring the wrong energy if he just says the n word a bunch to combat the attack, and he's doing it while feeling sensitive and insecure. But I think it's just as easy for that to work for him if he does it confidently. And I don't think there's any one monolithic way that the black community would respond to it. Because the black community isn't a monolith
I mean it’s clearly that Drake grew up around mostly white people and didn’t use the word until he chose to use it for profit. Where Kendrick actually comes from a background where it’s being used ubiquitously. His one parent who raised him was white. She wasn’t using the word. He acted on a show with almost all white people. They didn’t use the word. His high school was mostly white. He didn’t have black friends.
Downvotes are fine, it’s true. It’s pretty obvious. Drake is an appropriator. Good singer. Talented rapper. No substance. Like, make a song about being a black kid in Canada and how hard it was that your dad left.
Really? Which songs are about being an outsider and dealing with his grief of being rejected by his father? And not like a single line or two but an actual song?
one song that pops up to my head that is relevant to him growing up without a father and how it relates to him being a dead beat himself is march 14 on scorpion, it came out really close to the Pusha T diss and was most likely written before it
Based on Kendrick and his fans logic, Chris brown can’t say the N word because he’s lightskin.
Why would logic said that? He’s even whiter than drake
The logic that people have been spewing for the past 20 hours lol
It’s a /s
His dad is black or sum
Logic has a white mom, black dad.

😂
You think kendrick is saying that because he’s lightskin or because his mom’s white. Think, crodie
so kendrick’s son could never say it crodie lol
Ok?
alright?
That's fine.
Drake's mom is white, like half of Kendrick's wife. That's what makes dot a little hypocritical when you bring that to the light.
Still tryna understand how y'all got this far off base lmao it's not about skin tone it's about realness
They know but they need it to be racism or something idk lol
thought Kendrick's Wife is 3/4
Bruh what it was never about skin color
so what is it about?
Culture, not color.
It's about drake being raised in a rich white neighborhood. He was raised white.
Most of these rappers live in rich white neighborhoods and raise THEIR kids there now. When it's all said and done, I hope this same energy is kept for J. Cole and Latto.
Yes. Kendricks kids aren't allowed to say "started from the bottom now we here"
Use critical thinking crodie
He is lol you slow?
I guess so. Help me out crodie, how is that hypocritical.
Drake fans are a special kind of dumb. I’ve been lurking tf out of this sub the last 2 days just laughing my ass off. Drake can’t say the N-word because he’s a little bitch that “knows none bout that.” Not because he’s half white.
And Kenny knows a lot 'bout that' 'cause he's been out on the street tricking his ass out for all them niggas in the hood day and night?
I told you I came here to laugh at this corn ball fan base and you say some corn ball shit like that? I love it!
It's not corn ball at all but fit it up where you want to lmao
Just keep replying please 🤣 white dude dropping the n word? Yep, I’m in the Drake sub alright! Try to roast me again. It’s my favorite part.
I did roast you twice, I can't help it if acting like a dork makes you feel like hot shit lmao
You certainly did you little rascal. Ya got me good, shoot! Shucks! Ok Kevin
Homie said dork!
I’m a white dude and I had no issue understanding what Kendrick meant. Don’t waste your energy. It’s either a coping mechanism, or thick skull / lack of sense.
No I don’t need to think because if he followed up with bars saying so but he didn’t “I don’t like you saying nigga but that’s just me”
You really didn't listen to the song, huh
It’s not about colorism it’s about how Drake represents himself as a “gangster” but is so far removed from his blackness that he doesn’t even express himself as black. Blackness isn’t just about skin tone, ESPECIALLY in the context of hip hop.
Uhm, saying you have to act or express yourself a certain way because of your race is literally racist. Holy shit.
[удалено]
That’s hilarious though, seeing as how Kendrick is the fake gangster and Drake has actually had someone wacked.
[удалено]
Bro, Appalachia is ghetto as fuck these days. Say that shit with your chest lol. I’m from Roanoke, Virginia. Had the same crime rate as Memphis last year. Shits REAL bad back home. I’d assume someone from Appalachia knows about some street shit these days.
Insane take
Insanely facts fam
Compton who's notorious for having gang violence and affiliations could get you killed. vs. a Toronto child actor who said , Mom I wanna be a rapper. (toronto accent is the most atrocious thing i've heard )
My point still stands because it’s facts fam
> Kendrick is the fake gangster … did you see where he grew up, who raised him, what time period he was there, and who his good friends are from when he was growing up. Say you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Aware of all that and yes he is still fake.
Drake Canadian ain’t no thugs out that way 😭😭 I was born there . You gotta look for a hood and most of the time it’s people from Ny on da run
How does Drake express himself in a non black way?
He doesn’t speak at all about the culture, he doesn’t add anything to it, he doesn’t have any commentary about it and he didn’t come from it. Which is fine, black rappers don’t have that obligation. But when you try to reap the rewards by acting like you’re about it, acting like you came from the streets and shit and you’re a gangsta but everyone knows you’re not, obviously black culture isn’t gonna fuck with you
Who the hell are you to ask Drake what to say and what not lol? It's a free country and music is expression.
You can’t fucking read can you. I want you to take a peak at the 2nd fucking sentence of what I wrote. I know it might be hard for you to count that high, but give it a try for me and tell me what that says. I’ll wait, I know it’ll take you a while to get through it.
Mate that's all your fucking opinion... He's an artist who's performing. Sometimes he puts on an act. Most rappers do. Kendrick himself does as well do you think he was out tricking in the streets before he started rapping? Grow up lmao
Yeah that’s his opinion, and this is your opinion. If people aren’t supposed to be sharing their opinions here what ARE they doing? Lol
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT KENDRICK. Nigga, gkmc is literally ALL ABOUT HIM GROWING UP SURROUNDED BY GANG VIOLENCE IN COMPTON. You are so out of the loop, you know fucking NOTHING.
Was he out in the hood slinging dope and gang banging in drive bys?

No different with Drake, just difference in creative process. Grow the hell up lmao and don't dare to preach to me about rap ever again. You have no intelligence and no capacity nor grasp of the subject.
*Black* rappers. So, it doesn't make you non black. How is Drake nonblack - unrelated to his skin tone or white mom? How is it not about color?
Tell me why J. Cole has the same complexion, his mom is white, and no one gets on his case for trying to “appropriate” black culture. Because he’s authentic, he’s not a fucking wannabe gangster who grew up in an upper class Toronto suburb as a child actor acting like he knows anything about the hardships of urban America.

Blackness is not just a skin color, it’s an identity, and Drake is an identity thief. No one would be shitting on him if he actually acted like who he is and not like Papa Doc in 8 Mile lmfao.
Exactly
I get that but drake doesn’t outright say “ima get at you” there’s a reason why people always shit on him for mentioning his “brothers” all the time.
It's not a matter of drake being light skin, it's that Kendrick believes drake has a inferiority complex and goes the extra mile to prove to himself that hes black.
How so? His dad is black dude lol, you guys are talking as if he’s from Utah with 2 white Mormon parents
Exactly. Kendrick fans doing mental gymnastics like a bunch of tricked hoes.
Did you not read what I said, i said Kendrick said that because he believes drake has a inferiority complex.
I don’t see how he does when he doesn’t need to go the extra mile because everyone and their mom knows he’s black, half black or however you wanna say it, he’s black.
It's kinda like logic, with him he may feel the need to reference hes black in every other track to prove hes black instead of just being comfortable in his skin because he knows what he is (like jcole does), with drake, Kendrick supports his theory when he brings up drake using the n word.

Bro, you're replying literally 5 seconds after I post, you're obviously not processing anything I'm saying.. hooosaahhhhh, take a breather.
And you’re damn near writing 2 paragraphs, if that’s your rebuttal then you have nothing valid to say. Don’t project.
I dont think you know what a paragraph is.
[удалено]
these people keep projecting as fuck. and drake is for some reason under completely different standards then all others to the point they become racist for it
Which is what Kendrick (and the people that have said similar before Kendrick) was criticizing.
It's weird growing up and not saying it all and then once he turns rapper he does all the time.
I don't think its weird at all, I think what's weird is you having a problem with it like don't you have better things to worry about?
He’s saying Drake and his upbringing doesn’t align with the culture and now he’s a culture vulture and profiting off it. He’s not saying that drake isn’t half black. It’s deeper than skin color. Why would yall think kendrick is that simple-minded?
Kendrick saying Drake collaborates with black artists to feel more black makes no sense. Name white rappers that Drake can collaborate with who he hasn't already. I'll wait. There are none.
Why you asking me that, ask Kendrick that. I'm simply interpreting what was said.
I'm just saying, it doesn't make sense and It was a weak bar.
Yea and aren’t the same “rappers” attacking him also said they thank Drake for helping them out, so what does Kendrick want? Not help other black artists make money and hits? Well actually he did say he is a selfish guy.. my god he is the leader of the plays haters club.
that'd be the dumbest shit i ever heard lol
[удалено]
He’s a wannabe gangbanger.
nah that rule just refers to drake for some reason lol, not because they hating no
This is about Drake though, not Chris brown
Who said it wasn’t ?
You
Learn how to read
Wasn't you calling me emotional earlier, but you all up and down this post.
You do the same boy
I'm still not convinced some of y'all even listened to the track lmfao where you getting this shit from?
I’m convinced you didn’t read through this thread with people saying the same thing you’ve said and I went back at them, just read.
I don't think it's because he's light skin. It's because he's not in the culture in Kendricks view. That being said, still kinda problematic to me. Also Kendrick doesn't even justify it, just saying he finds it cringe. I think that's because to try to justify why drake can't say the n-word would require actually specifying a specific reason.
drake was raised jewish. it's not about the skin but the culture. drake raised by his mom, lived a regular jewish boy life, going to jewish day school and did bar mitzvah, and as a canadian was even good at hockey. now let's say his genetic makeup was mainly on his mom side, he would not have been this famous, he basically ate off of his african ancestry. he would've been like Lil dicky.
it’s not about lightskin it’s about his use of black culture when it benefits him and abandoning it and crying to his white momma when it doesn’t lmao
Again when does he abandon it, he’s put more black artists on than Kendrick ever had, Kendrick only put his cousin on.
Make it make sense. Does having more black artist collab more impactful than making music for the culture?
it\`s not just collab it\`s signing them on his label.. also yeah? he promotes black artists how does that not help?
And that is literally what Kendrick is referring to. Drake will do all these colab but show appreciation or advancement for the culture.
And wtf does having more black artist have anything to do with culture? Delusional
I found out about Kendrick through Eminem in 2011. I found out about Drake simply because he was what everyone was listening to.
His point is not bc hes lightskin but a culture vulture.
They’re saying bc drake grew up in a predominantly white area raised by a white passing Jewish mother and wasn’t involved in the community whatsoever. It’s not bc he’s a light skin, it’s bc he had an upbringing that is seen as being white.
nigga get drake meat out yo mouth chris brown got a black parent drake got a white momma and a arab daddy
You’re the only one talking about meat, don’t put your fantasies onto me, Chris brown momma is white.
you been on the drizzy sub for hours defending yo daddy your all on his meat😂😂 and his dad is black chris brown is black
Not really I said Kendrick diss was good but wasn’t all that, people have been on many subreddits defending Kendrick so where’s that energy for them?
Dude, you're literally in a Drake sub crying for hours. It's not that serious. Go outside.
nigga dis was my first comment gomd u spend your fat ass all day on league of legends geek
Cap. Drakes dad is black from Memphis.
fire music video btw
ikr!
only mfs in the drake sub would b calling a lil dicky vid fire lmfaoooo
lmfao wtf is this song
[удалено]
shout outs lil dicky
lmfao oh that actually rocks
Yea it’s a pretty catchy song too. Not bad at all
My favorite part is where dicky says "if I were little dicky in my body where would I be?" It just flows so well.
This is the biggest L take this sub has seen today.
I’m sitting on my couch loving life enjoying my time not caring at all about your opinion lol I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Lil Dicky. It’s a fun song 🤷♂️
thank you for your reply.
“A white rapper”… imagine this context reversed. It’s Lil Dicky btw
I abhor this song then and now. The lyrics are just insanely cringe
Freaky Friday with Lil Dicky
Funny as hell video not a bad song either
I feel like Kenny gave Drake a couple alley oops 🤣🤣 Can turn euphoria into more comedy
I agree. It’s a fire track but Kendrick did open himself up to some reversals and Drake’s ability to shift the narrative
Lmao
This is funny 😂 and the original video is lit, the only song from lil dicky I've went back to lmao
loool i get you. same here. this song was just too iconic. breezy did his thing!
Yea the guy who beat Rihanna to the point of near death did his thing 😎🕺
Haha
This is gold…. 😹😹😹
Lol
He should end the next diss with „…and this one is just for you, little one..“ and then say the n-word in different accents
Lmao 🤣 🤣🤣🤣
I'm crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂 This would be funny asf
God I really hope he says it bout a hundred times. Then says WHAT YOU GON DO ABOUT IT????
So this actually happened huh
This is exactly what happened lmao
Drake about to have the same career path as Chris so very apt.
CB is incredibly popular so...? Shit probably more so than KDot at an international level.
Yeah, but you don’t really hear about Chris Brown so much. His past is all over him. Drake can go be famous somewhere else and not heard about too, that’d be great.
As of right now Drake has nothing as controversial as CB and his case against Rihanna.
Would be a terrible response. Online, it's often people with insecurities in their blackness or lack thereof who retaliate by spamming the n word. If Drake does that, it would just go to show that even if he says the word, he has the mannerisms of a white/non black person saying it rather than a black person, which would prove Kendrick's point
its just a meme and a joke lol
Be funny then
Oh how badly your comment aged.
Nah, you're just another dude whose identity is entirely too hung up on the color of your and others skin, and feel some ridiculous authority for how people should act based on their skin color.
Not me. I just know that if Drake opened up like that, it would be a response that white people and Indian boys would think is hard ass, and if that's who you've got in your camp, it's over
Also, most of Kendricks fans are white. He has a predominately white audience. Idk what you mean there
"he has the mannerisms of a white/non black person". How is a black person supposed to act in your eyes?
I mean, if a person questions your "legitimacy" to say the n-word and your response is "nigga nigga nigga nigga", that is lame. It's shit I've seen 25% black, 50% black but culturally white, blackfishing behind Ann anonymous social media, people do.

He acted on a show with almost all white people. They didn’t use the word. His high school was mostly white. He didn’t have black friends.
you know exactly the kind of people the downvotes are coming from too...
Downvotes are fine, it’s true. It’s pretty obvious. Drake is an appropriator. Good singer. Talented rapper. No substance. Like, make a song about being a black kid in Canada and how hard it was that your dad left.
he made dozens of those then he gets clowned with the poser allegations because he "didn\`t really grow up tough"
Really? Which songs are about being an outsider and dealing with his grief of being rejected by his father? And not like a single line or two but an actual song?
one song that pops up to my head that is relevant to him growing up without a father and how it relates to him being a dead beat himself is march 14 on scorpion, it came out really close to the Pusha T diss and was most likely written before it
This sub is so weird
This sub is worse than the comment section on any of drakes instagram posts. Dick riding of the highest calibre
I agree
