Moment I saw this video 11 years ago I knew what kind of person Aubrey Graham was.
He dabbles in black culture, wears it like an act.
His greatest performance isn't Degrassi or his shows
It's his Drake Persona
Cole is a very genuine guy. I respect it. We often give in to external pressures and outside influences and act out of our own character. It’s rare to have enough heart to make the correction. It didn’t align with HIM so he fixed it in the same manner he engaged. Salute 🙏🏽
It’s harder to “embarrass” yourself to the world to protect your own peace than it is to fake beef for public validation and acceptance…
Real human move.
Hip hop is entertainment, yes, but pleasing millions of fans vs pleasing yourself at the cost of your own peace?
Choose wisely.
as a hip-hop fan, i am disappointed in the outcome of this whole situation but let me say something.
first of all, Kendrick barely said anything to Cole on that record. Cole has always showed love to Kendrick, always been a fan, and always learned from him. WE are the ones who wanted a diss and he did it for the fans. he opened up about the hard times he had in the past and Cole said making that track put him back in that dark place he worked so hard to escape all those years ago.
he never wanted beef, he never wanted to diss, but he did it for us (he did it, regardless of if you liked it or not). but i really don’t understand all this slander towards him for not wanting to do something he has no reason to or be a person he isn’t
Cole wants to respect someone he looks up to rather than tear him down when be doesn’t want to n im learning to respect that.
shit yeah its unexpected and probably not the best look for him but he’s protecting his peace, i dont see a problem with that. i know this isn’t the energy hip-hop is used to and it’s gonna take time to understand it but damn yall have been doing way too much on the tl
our moon being about the same size as the sun from from our perspective is such an insane coincidence and genuinely makes me believe we’re living in a simulation…
