.@Drake just made Billboard chart history with his latest album, ‘HABIBTI.’ 👀
The project jumps from No. 35 to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart after the release of its ‘HABIBTI (FOMO)’ deluxe edition, earning 71,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during the Oct. 2-8 tracking week.
With his 18th No. 1 on the chart, Drake breaks his tie with Future and The Temptations to become the act with the most chart-topping albums since the ranking launched in 1965.

@gmalone I hate how you downgrade [lack of a better word] Drake's legacy.....its sad to see. DOT is a great in his own right, you're not only diminishing Drake's but DOT
As well....I'd be very surprised if DOT cosigns this.
Sorry Jay-z and Kanye—the second Joe snatched up this beat smh yeah man this beat belongs to him now. This is one of the best freestyles ever.

Alright, hear me out: we are being used as scapegoats for the system!
I believe Drake represents what the industry doesn’t want rap to stand for: kindness, love, comfort, intellect, and humanity.
This gentle moment⬇️ shows what he brings to rap, along with his incredible bars.
For years, the industry has limited Black music to themes of hardness and violence, which reflects the story pushed about Black people in this country.
The music and the people, I believe, were made to clash, so each one seems to confirm the other's narrative🤔
These images don’t stay confined to music; they influence how we, as Black people, are viewed and treated, and they can help justify the unequal policies targeted at us all.
When Black music is reduced to a stereotype, that stereotype can be used as a scapegoat, while the systems shaping our lives go unquestioned.
Why do you think they always quote Black crimes inaccurately?
I also believe it’s a scapegoat tactic used to keep yts locked into the system, depicting us as violent and making them fearful of us.
Drake is changing rap for the better. He shows Black people living, loving, caring, being vulnerable, and comforting one another. Black music doesn’t have to stay trapped in the image they’ve assigned to it and us.
Drake has broadened the way they never wanted us to be seen!
It’s time we stop letting them create a one-dimensional image used to paint all of us with one brush. Great interview🦉
Facts!
Drake’s intelligence as a writer is easy to overlook because of his lifestyle content and conversational delivery. But hes witty with layered wordplay and entendres.
He makes complexity sound simple. Sometimes the smartest writing is the kind you dont immediately notice
Sexy red music so sex positive she don’t even shame niggas for having small dicks and not being able to fuck. I’m actually not joking there’s probably a million bars about her being patient with a nigga she like and showing him what to do.
