Charlemagne gonna give Drake donkey of the day lol
50 Cent, Kanye West, Fat Joe, Jarule, Puff Daddy, Cam'Ron, all could have used that advice.....
I guess from CTG's perspective he really didn't have to make a new diss track. Tellin yall in 6 months these idiots will say Drake lost to Meek Mill SMMFH.
You realize how many idiots have said that before this weekend happened though? If you really want someone to lose then they'll look for every type of moral victory til they got one.
First it was but he got ghostwriters.
Then it was white corporate America helped him
Then it was Drake disses weren't effective, it was white girl support and MEMEs that helped Drake.
It's only til half a year later hateful ass niggas can finally say Meek got the better, and even that's debatable.
It's like niggas who hate the Patriots, so instead of giving credit where credit is due, you constantly gotta look for a cheating angle.
Winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners. Both Drake and Meek could learn from that but they both feeding into this negative energy out of pride.
All of the bolded is true, none of which has been used to give Meek any sort of win as much as it's been used to discredit Drake from a Hip-Hop ethics standpoint. The issue has always been, the shit that's been going on the past 6 months isn't healthy for the game in general.
Fuck Meek vs. Drake for a second.
1. Excusing ghostwriting for the amount of content Drake has been exposed dilutes authenticity. Then niggas want to double down on it by saying legend X does it, so it must OK makes it worse. THEN niggas simultaneously want to complain about how shit / fake the music and game is. It is unhealthy for Hip-Hop.
2. Corporate entities ganging up on any young MC / black brother / Hip-Hop contributor for the sake of lulz, wave riding, dick hopping or anything otherwise indirectly exposes all of us from a cultural standpoint, and sets a dangerous precedent. It is unhealthy for Hip-Hop.
3. Niggas paying more attention to dickhead memes than the actual musical content that stems from said beef is clearly unhealthy for Hip-Hop. Example?
-Niggas constantly reciting "Is that a world tour or your girl's tour" is valid because it's music related.
-Niggas regurgitating the same L memes, and then other niggas basing a win or lose off of said memes is not.
Niggas do not care as much about the victor of this dispute. What they care about is seeing Drake held accountable for his fouls.
I'm not even trying to be an asshole but thats a purist's perspective. It's entertainment plain and simple. The memes is apart of that. It's not the 90s anymore, where its just music, social media plays a huge role in entertainment now. That wasn't around in the 90s. We all know that rap is not real but this is like watching a wrestling fan find out it isn't real and surprised to learn Rick Flair doesn't really have 50 jets or that Rock and Austin are best friends in real life.
And Drake did hone up to the ghostwriter comments and said he'd have no issue being at the forefront of the argument to have the conversation and no one said anything after. It's not even about Drake, niggas just don't like him and would rather he be erased from rap. What do YALL want him to be accountable for ? Being himself ?? It is what it is....
Nah Sion, fuck outta here with the bolded.
I addressed why this is an issue for everyone. Everyone complains about how fake the game is, that includes posters in the IC.
So if you in this thread right now, contributing to the discussion, and your in anyway complaining about the hate Drake is getting you are either A. Content with the how things are (IE Fake, unauthentic, pure entertainment) or B. a Drake stan.
You can't tell me all you care about is the music when the music will be negatively effected as a result of this shit.
Fun fact. Ya'll niggas wouldnt have even gotten a Back to Back if Hip-Hop purists would have stayed silent on how wack that shit was while his groupies were out wearing battery pack t-shirts.
Sitting there and saying 'rap is not real' is as defeatist as it is false because there are plenty of niggas who are laying down some authentic, inspiring, real shit as of 2016. The fake shit is allowed to prosper because you niggas let it and go with the wave.
You know what though? Drake did hone up to the ghostwriter shit, albiet in a half ass round about way. And you know why we still have yet to have that conversation? Because:
1. A whole bunch of "I dont care niggas" niggas, Drake's chatty patty female fan base, and white people have out voiced niggas like me who would otherwise be deemed "fossils" or purists.
2. Meek hasn't given us a decent record to rally behind in Hip-Hop spirit literally until this weekend. He is also responsible for his inability to act.
On that note? I rather die a Hip-Hop "fossil" then a fuck nigga.
When they start exposin' niggas in sports for using steroids ya'll gonna be like "-everybody use'm though, so its cool." Come on fam.
