The Caped Cruzader

This quite possibly the most insanely brazen quote this man has ever given.

So how the heck did Drake allegedly have a $500 million dollar deal on the table with Sony if he still owed UMG three albums? And if you count $$$ that’s 4. What bargaining negotiations did Kendrick allegedly ruin if he owed all these albums. Yall just be making up shit. These people forget the lies they told before they start a new one.

Drake is the most protected rapper of all time. He has gotten away with mediocre music/raps for over a decade and his fans treat every bloated album like a classic before the first listen is over. Any other rapper would have been called washed years ago. Drake turned quantity into a substitute for quality and convinced an entire generation that playlist filler is artistic growth. If another rapper released the same repetitive songs about exes, enemies and fake friends, they would be laughed off the internet. Commercial success has insulated Drake from the criticism that every other artist would face. His music is the definition of stagnation

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: nymag.visitlink.me/w6Bu9N

@whotaylor1__ @Ian_Schwartzman Good so you agree. It’s content. Not music. Glad I could help bring some understanding to the discourse.

@DJFullEffect @Ian_Schwartzman And yet, here you are consuming and reacting to his “content”

He’s the best strategist in music history

@ParlandzS @Ian_Schwartzman Your entire timeline is Drake. If my one tweet is hate what do we call your obvious obsession?

@DJFullEffect @Ian_Schwartzman You could easily say Jacko all trades but I guess hating is just in your DNA at this point. It’s hard for you to congratulate a man that’s successful everything he does right.

Every word

I know the influencer accounts are busy posting fire emojis, but this China trip looks like a dud. We got a non-binding Boeing order, less than half its original size, and some vagaries about soy beans. China got profuse praise, concessions on trade, support for buying our farmland and 500,000 student visas, AI chips, and the softening of demands around Iran. Sorry, I can't lie to you and tell you this was a good result. Scream at me if you must.

Go back and listen to Drakes first 3 albums and then listen to these 3, then come back and tell me he hasn’t fallen off massively

I believe in Nolan he has never failed me before

Drake is stuck in the past, shooting at a lot of shadows that have moved on with their lives on ICEMAN.

I thought the boy was doing this? All the owls told me that World Cup halftime was exponentially bigger than Super Bowl. What happened?

they want us to believe it’s a national security emergency to fall behind china on Ai but falling behind china on high speed rail, renewable energy and childhood nutrition is a-OK.

@SeewhyChels Ironic they talk about artists needing Drake when this pod is really only relevant or posted when Rory’s dead weight decides to chat about Drakes feelings that Drake won’t talk about anywhere.

🚨 Rory & MAL react to Charlamagne tha God saying Future & Karol G could appear on Drake’s ICEMAN while also claiming A$AP Rocky & DJ Khaled may get shots on the album Mal says he doesn’t think Drake is necessarily dissing Khaled but believes Drake likely realized “a lot of these guys don’t like him… they just need him” claiming people around Drake were trying to “capitalize” off his moment instead of genuinely supporting him Mal also says the Drake vs A$AP Rocky situation will probably “never end”

@NickKristof To all the irate Israel apologists, note that in this 1 story Kristof provides 4 named victims with first person accounts of sexual abuse by Israel. That is 4 more than have EVER been produced for the October 7 purported rapes.

The irony in this statement…..
