There is more context then “he sued a label”. He is suing the culture you love. For lyrics. He asked for a paternity test for another rappers kids and contract because he lost a battle. He is mad they didn’t silence another artist. Call a spade a spade. Stop shooting him bail.

Drake is a pop artist who loves and can rap.

He got caught on some egregious shit couple of times.

He sued the label cause he felt they was cheating.

But he can rap b.

Joe Lim estimates that 90 percent of what you see on the internet is advertising in disguise, and he should know. For three years, Lim ran a company called Floodify, which at its peak operated 65,000 dummy social-media accounts used to drum up attention on behalf of paying clients.

The point of this kind of marketing is that nobody is supposed to notice it. But lately, the machinery has started to show.

In April, Justin Bieber headlined two consecutive weekends at Coachella. Coachella is the biggest stage in pop music save only for the Super Bowl, the kind of event that in theory generates its own attention. And yet on both weekends, a Discord server writer Lane Brown had been monitoring hosted paid campaigns for Bieber’s Coachella performances, offering clippers — people who are hired to turn a song, trailer, interview, stump speech, or whatever into short, social-media-friendly fragments — as much as a dollar per thousand views.

“On social media, popular opinion is being formed, measured, and manipulated all at once, and every signal the platforms produce — a trending song, a backlash, a talking point, the feeling that ‘everybody’ is suddenly talking about the same thing — can now be fabricated by unseen actors with hidden agendas,” writes Brown.

“Everybody is doing this now,” Lim says. “And if you’re not, you’re behind.”

Brown reports on how the same techniques are now being used to fool people on every app they go to in order to find out what other people think, not just in music but across entertainment, politics, consumer products, and celebrity gossip: https://t.co/hlcdfSmzPc

Blame Twitter. Blame the fans. Blame the stans. But somehow nobody wants to blame the artist for putting out subpar music, or the media whose entire business model depends on rage bait & manufactured discourse for engagement. Funny enough, you work for one of those publications.

[jordan @jrosethereturn]

i’ve seen such braindead takes about this new drake music and i think what bothers me is most of these people cannot actually articulate their thoughts outside of tweets

[Alessandro @13ssandr0]

The lack of self awareness is incredible. The publication he works for has done more damage to Hip Hop and yet here we are.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[jordan @jrosethereturn]

rap would be better off without twitter
