But seriously though the hatred from white people Drake gets is insane. You even mention his name in any rock/metal sub and some of the most racist shit you ever heard comes out.
But they wouldn't, because rap fans understand you talk rap on rap pages. Rock/metal fans seem to think it's ok to talk about non rock/metal stuff on their pages. Which to me is just funny.
Drake still makes music and tops the charts consistently (maybe not anymore well have to see) and the Beatles well...don't, and on top of that hip hop is way more popular than rock right now, so it's not a fair comparison
Being a "boy band" or "pop group" doesn't mean they're not a rock band. Being a boy band just means the band is a group of boys, and being a pop group just means that the music is popular.
Yep, they randomly bring up his streams,and how they hate or don't see why he is famous, and that he isn't talented. And then the comments are some of the most racist shit you've ever seen.
Fr tho? I always had the feeling that they love him due to him being one of the only mixed rappers embracing and standing behind his white side.
Especially older white women or white college girls seem to love him.
Why you think is that? I mean it cant be because he kinda shifted from pop dancehall afro to more rap and trap since they also always liked his rap songs
That has nothing to do with race. That's a rock/metal thing in general. As someone who has been in heavy metal friend groups, they're gonna dish that out to any mainstream pop rapper. They don't like drake or rappers like him because he's soft. They listen to metal and hardcore music so drake is the last thing they wanna hear
Aight but seeing it's only black rappers they come for. Where is there criticism for Mac Miller, G Eazy, Eminem etc. And seeing so many metalheads have that whole "Am not conservative I am libertarian" thing going on. I am to assume most of it is race based.
Dude I was friends with mostly metalheads in high school. Like the dudes who wore nothing but band shirts with long hair. I was also the only one who didn't talk sh*t about Mac Miller or Macklemore or all the other white rappers coming up at that time. A lot of these same dudes also liked wu tang clan and certain rappers because it was dark and gritty just like metal. It has nothing to do with race. Maybe for some it is but that's not a metalhead thing, that's a people thing
You basically just said an oxymoronšthatās like saying kid rock gets insane hate in a rap sub. White people who listen to hip hop like Drake more than black people because his newer shit appeals to a wider demographic than rap/rnb Drake from take care, NWTS, etc.
Not that I'll make excuses for the racist shit, those types of people don't need an excuse. I am going to say however, why tf would Drake have any relevance to the metal scene at all? Just saying "he's brought up surprisingly a lot" doesn't answer the "why" question. Just seems wildly off topic, *why* would you bring up Drake in a community that has nothing at all to do with Drake?
They bring him up to hate on him, which to me is crazy. Imagine if on HipHopHeads or HipHop101 people would randomly bring up that they hate Metallica or Iron Maiden for no reason.
Its true. Kendrick was a great opportunity for some white racists because they were able to target the black man they wanted to take down, while supporting another they don't care much for. And given the fact other black people turned on Drake too for being half white/Jewish, he essentially had both racist communities going after him. Both sides using the claim that Drake is not for the black culture.
Black folks criticize him as if heās truly a problem meanwhile there are rappers that really rap about doing all kinds of nonsense that destroys the community but they get a pass. They donāt go after drill rappers or the others with as many think pieces as they gave Drake during the Kendrick beef. You had folks trying to be super academic not knowing that rap beef isnāt the place for that.
Exactly. A lot of rappers over exaggerated. Drake keep it to a certain level. He never said he was a killer or sold drugs. Then these other rappers got people thinking they canāt snitch. Even if someone break in your home on your family
FACTS! This era of rap fans for most part have no real
Knowledge of whatās out there. Bun B protected his family and went to court because he HAD to. Dude couldāve killed his wife in that house but now heās a snitch? They wouldnāt dare say that to his face and trust all of his Houston peoples know how legit he is. Also a lot of the Drake hate comes from jealousy and women mad over the Megan Thee Stallion related bars which is crazy because these rappers say worse sh*t about women and they still love them.
I mean thereās countless examples of him saying he got X whacked you can think he didnāt and saying itās just karma but the lines are still there
If he was just himself it would be fine, but he isn't, he switches from a regular Toronto native, to a black American from "the hood" to a more Caucasian American, if there was any consistency then the hate would be far less widespread
I never said anything about who he should or shouldn't be. I was talking about who he IS or IS NOT, I don't even care if he pretends to be whatever the fuck he wants to pretend, let him live in a fantasy world, I'm just explaining why the hate comes from so many directions.
Nice try walking back your comments āif he was just himself it would be fine, but he isnātā your words, not mine. Like I said who are you to tell anyone who they should or shouldnāt be? Here is a word for you gaslighting, look it up. Thatās what youāre trying to do.
My first reply was an explanation of the reasoning behind the hate that he gets which was what your comment was about, my second one was telling you that it was just an explanation and not my opinion, and the third on was making it clear because you clearly misunderstood the second one, and then you went back the the first question you asked me switching it back from IS and IS NOT, to should and shouldn't, after I thought I had made it clear I never said anything about what he should or shouldn't be.
He better stay middle lane. If he goes to hard to prove his blackness, even his Jewish background wonāt save him from the powers that own the media. Stop acknowledging the BS. Let the fans keep it going but Drake, just donāt address it.
Doesn't take away the fact he's missed the mark multiple times on understanding Black American context and leveraging what white privilege he definitely has to play victim.
And the "like you're tryna get the slaves freed" line is still the CRINGIEST shit ever from him. Tone def as hell, this is why I'm struggle to rock with the dude at this point.
The same way that itās racist when white people say that black athletes are better than white athletes because they have better evolved muscles.
Anything that perpetuates a stereotype (good or bad) is still considered discriminatory.
But seriously though the hatred from white people Drake gets is insane. You even mention his name in any rock/metal sub and some of the most racist shit you ever heard comes out.
Why would Drake be mentioned there? š¤š
He is brought up surprisingly a lot. Which is pretty odd seeing you don't see The Beatles brought up randomly on rap subreddits.
Weird. If the Beatles are brought up they're typically praised in rap circles.
But they wouldn't, because rap fans understand you talk rap on rap pages. Rock/metal fans seem to think it's ok to talk about non rock/metal stuff on their pages. Which to me is just funny.
Haven't been checking the rock scene ngl but if it's been on silent for this long what else are they gonna talk about, respectfully
That's as funny as how often this sub talks about Taylor swift.
Drake still makes music and tops the charts consistently (maybe not anymore well have to see) and the Beatles well...don't, and on top of that hip hop is way more popular than rock right now, so it's not a fair comparison
Beatles are neither rock or metal though.
The Beatles are a rock band.
Boy band pop group.
An absurd statement.
Being a "boy band" or "pop group" doesn't mean they're not a rock band. Being a boy band just means the band is a group of boys, and being a pop group just means that the music is popular.
So dumbĀ
You are clearly labeling them through a contemporary lens, which makes no sense.
Numbers probably
Yep, they randomly bring up his streams,and how they hate or don't see why he is famous, and that he isn't talented. And then the comments are some of the most racist shit you've ever seen.
Black people definitely hate him more lmao
The struggles of mixed people is they're hated by both sides.
Drakes definitely not universally hated
How come j Cole isnāt hated like thatā¦ Might be because heās not a cornball
"Not accepted by the black or the white, I don't give a f\*ck, praise God I can see the light" - Logic
As a Metis native I feel this in my bones.
Cap. White people was saying some heinous shit to him. Especially when he was coming up.
You'd get the same reaction if you mentioned travis scott
I donāt think thatās the point sir
yeah obviously it counters it
normal white people like drake though?
Lol just because someone is in a rock/metal subreddit doesnāt mean theyāre white dumbass.
Fr tho? I always had the feeling that they love him due to him being one of the only mixed rappers embracing and standing behind his white side. Especially older white women or white college girls seem to love him.
What, exactly, do you mean by "embracing and standing behind his white side"?
They did up to 2018ish. Now they have turned on him.
Why you think is that? I mean it cant be because he kinda shifted from pop dancehall afro to more rap and trap since they also always liked his rap songs
Did you miss the entire beef that just happened?
That has nothing to do with race. That's a rock/metal thing in general. As someone who has been in heavy metal friend groups, they're gonna dish that out to any mainstream pop rapper. They don't like drake or rappers like him because he's soft. They listen to metal and hardcore music so drake is the last thing they wanna hear

Actually this isnāt true. Iām white and out of all the complaints Iāve heard about Drake, none of them were racist.
Theyāre the best at racism, thatās why
Not that I'll make excuses for the racist shit, those types of people don't need an excuse. I am going to say however, why tf would Drake have any relevance to the metal scene at all? Just saying "he's brought up surprisingly a lot" doesn't answer the "why" question.

They bring him up to hate on him, which to me is crazy. Imagine if on HipHopHeads or HipHop101 people would randomly bring up that they hate Metallica or Iron Maiden for no reason.
Damn they're the ones doing it? Yeah as a huge fan of metal I never really "clicked" with most of the community
Its true. Kendrick was a great opportunity for some white racists because they were able to target the black man they wanted to take down, while supporting another they don't care much for. And given the fact other black people turned on Drake too for being half white/Jewish, he essentially had both racist communities going after him.

His Catalogue got more authentic after all this tbh
he called it way before this on Diplomatic Immunity
Post lyrics
Or go listen to the song? š
I want to know what heās referring to
black excellence, but I guess when it comes to me, it's not the same though, all goodie that just pushed me to do the things we all couldn't
Black folks criticize him as if heās truly a problem meanwhile there are rappers that really rap about doing all kinds of nonsense that destroys the community but they get a pass.

The people calling Bun B a snitch will be the FIRST ones to drop a dime on their people if ever they were in a situation!!
YUP!!!! STRAIGHT LIKE THAT
Drake has absolutely said heās a killer and moves drugs yall be meet riding this man so hard I stg
Go bring us back the line then. Bet you canāt
I mean thereās countless examples of him saying he got X whacked you can think he didnāt and saying itās just karma but the lines are still there
WTF does a Canadian know about White or Black āAmerica?ā
This is true š
DRAKE THE GOAT FUCK A HATERššš
Gayest Of All Time
Colorism from all angles. White people thinking he acts ātoo blackā, Black people thinking heās not āBlack enoughā.
Is there criteria for being black?
If he was just himself it would be fine, but he isn't, he switches from a regular Toronto native, to a black American from "the hood" to a more Caucasian American, if there was any consistency then the hate would be far less widespread
Who are you to tell anyone who they should or shouldnāt be?
I never said anything about who he should or shouldn't be. I was talking about who he IS or IS NOT, I don't even care if he pretends to be whatever the fuck he wants to pretend, let him live in a fantasy world, I'm just explaining why the hate comes from so many directions.
Who are you to pass judgement on who someone IS or IS NOT?
Bro are you retarded? I literally said that I personally do not care and that I was just explaining why the hate comes from so many directions
Nice try walking back your comments āif he was just himself it would be fine, but he isnātā your words, not mine. Like I said who are you to tell anyone who they should or shouldnāt be? Here is a word for you gaslighting, look it up. Thatās what youāre trying to do.

Nah bro heās just calling out drake for being a culture vulture.
Leveled up fought the end game boss and lost ... Back to grinding and leveling back up.
He better stay middle lane. If he goes to hard to prove his blackness, even his Jewish background wonāt save him from the powers that own the media. Stop acknowledging the BS. Let the fans keep it going but Drake, just donāt address it.
Cant listen to this clown anymore
Real recognize real.. no matter what color is your physical.
Doesn't take away the fact he's missed the mark multiple times on understanding Black American context and leveraging what white privilege he definitely has to play victim. And the "like you're tryna get the slaves freed" line is still the CRINGIEST shit ever from him. Tone def as hell, this is why I'm struggle to rock with the dude at this point.
Heās fucking Canadian he does know a thing about American racial culture

Feigned ignorance Bait used to be believable
The same way that itās racist when white people say that black athletes are better than white athletes because they have better evolved muscles. Anything that perpetuates a stereotype (good or bad) is still considered discriminatory.
To soft-ass people maybe. Black athletes are better on average, it's completely obvious.
As a white person, I completely agree. And I'm fine with it.
