Who's back to rewatch 👀☕👋🏿😅😉

This is aging like fine wine 😭😭😭
-
Back here to pay whatever the opposite of respect is to Drake now that he's dead
-
everyone says this video aged well. I'd like to say this vid doesn't even age.
-
Here after Euphoria dropped
-
Huh, wonder how many people revisiting this one on this the 30th of April in 2024?
-
I’m back after “Not like us” 😂
-
This video aged very well
-
Gonna give this a rewatch for no particular reason at all 😅
-
I been saying this forever. Kendrick Control verse is only a diss to a rapper if he DIDNT mention their name. If your name was mentioned it was a sight of respect. He literally collabed w everyone he mentioned. Anyone who took it personally instead of as a challenge is soft lol

Drake is truly Not Like Us
-
In my head cannon Kendrick Lamar stumbled across this video a couple of months ago one night when he couldn't sleep and began to ponder........
-
even women hate on other women for their interests a lot of the time. The hating on female centric media goes so deep.
-
Your point about not blaming "the youths" for dealing with the reality their elders created without their input is absolutely key to so many cultural issues. Great video!
-
The “save the slaves” line made me come back to this video. I’m glad that you got to see OVO fall Unc.

The algorithm may not be right all the time, but when it’s right it’s straight on

My biggest issue with Drake was always that he had nothing to say. Most of songs are about himself and the way he feels which is fine by itself, if you actually are an interesting person or have something fascinating to tell. But Drake's lyricism mostly consists of "I'm sad", "I'm a womanizer" and "I'm rich". I don't hate Drake, I just think he's terribly boring. Edit: "Hold my purse music" is shockingly accurate. Lmao.

When F.D. Says drake is like pizza, it makes me laugh, because he's just dawning on something that seems obvious: Almost all of Rap/hip hop is just pop now. It's meant to be homogenous, forgettable, get the plays, get the money and get out style of overproduced and repackaged music that is built for the streaming age. Why do you think you see so many artists rise and fall so quickly? that's the definition of a pop act. They aren't built to last, they're built for short attention spans.

I’m surprised Drake didn’t have this taken down 2 years ago.

Looking forward to "Hip Hop and the Death of Drake"
