Drake just dropped three albums at once: “ICEMAN,” “Habibti,” and “Maid of Honour.”
This move had fulfilled his commitment to Universal, and right now every major label in America and around the world is calling his phone trying to land the most valuable free agent in music history.
He will sign a billion dollar record deal.
Where that happens, nobody knows yet, but it will probably be the first billion dollar deal in music history.
He has frozen the world.
Every executive, every streamer, every label, every competitor is watching this play out in real time.
This is leverage. This is ownership. This is negotiating power at a level the music business has never seen before.
Things we’re so bad in “the culture”, it took a white guy to tell another white guy it wasn’t his place to question Drake’s “blackness” 😭😭
Shit was wild
As a fan of Drake’s music I hated when he said this.
Dawg this line and the “Pulitzer prize winner” line aren’t disses. They are just him hating.
Kendrick said he the biggest hater “I hate the way that you walk the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress…”
And still those two lines from Drake come off as the biggest hater lines

The most annoying people on the planet aren't even the propagandists, it's all of these "I'm so above it" idiots that swim in the middle and fall for the slop.
Person A engages in non-stop drama slop ALL DAY, meaning Person B is forced to respond, otherwise crazy statements and allegations will permeate the entire media ecosystem they exist in.
Person B responds to Person A, then all of a sudden you get these midwit Person C's (in this case, @steady_drumbeat) who wade into the mess and immediately "both sides" the entire situation, not realizing that if Person B stops responding, Person A "wins" the narrative, whereas if Person A were to stop, the entire media ecosystem could go back to being about actual news/facts, and not the drama slop that Person A condemns us to exist in.
I have no idea how to deal with these "Person C's" that come in and "both sides" every single thing, it's always the same, braindead responses that refuse to engage with the reality of the eco system:
"oh, so just bcuz they act bad, u have to act bad?"
"well cant u just be better than them?"
"why do u let them dictate how u act?"
"well both of u r contributing to it"
"why would he stop when u do the same thing?"
