"No, You not a colleague, you a fuckin' colonizer" - Kendrick Lamar (Not Like Us)

I keep going back to that line since Lamar isn't wrong. Drake colonized what hip-hop used to be.

Back in the 70s, 80s, and maybe 90s, hip-hop was a culture revolution. It was anti-drug and anti-violence. It was where black people specifically could air out their anger. It was a form of empowerment and self-expression while simultaneously calling out political, social, and economic issues, media did demonised hip-hop during this time a lot due to this, which wasn't palpable to a lot of white people, (not saying that white people didn't enjoy it or also sang hip-hop). It was primarily seen as Black-American music, something they could claim as their own

Then, after the 2000s and the start of 2010, there was a change due to some people, and one of them was Drake. He didn't really understand what hip-hop (also known as rap) actually meant. So when he used it, his lyrics were mostly about women, sex and that. Sure, there were some times that Drake songs were serious, but it wasn't what it was before.

And since Drake became popular, it also dragged hip-hop into popularity, which led to what hip-hop actually meant and stood for to fade. Intentionally or not, Drake colonised what hip-hop stood for with his own meaning, and other rappers followed suit. It also meant it became more palpable to white people. (Media stopped demonising hip-hop after this because it lost the roots of political and social activism it had)

If you're wondering why hip-hop started to have a white rapper problem, this is kind of why, but there are also other reasons. Drake isn't the sole reason, but he is a cause in it.

Lamar ain't wrong that Drake was a colonizer because he colonised hip-hop meant.

Added: Someone reblog that Drake is a popstar. While he is considered a popstar and does pop music now, he's started in hip-hop music, and the main inspiration came from hip-hop that influenced his style. Drake even has the most number one singles in R&B and hip-hop charts. It was a style he did steal from.

to succeed in adult friendship you must remember the key tenets of child friendship:

Play Toys

Play Pretend

Snack Time

We need to bring back children’s programming that focuses on reading. I’m so serious

I'm in awe of how we ran historical revisionism on the civil rights movement so bad that people truly believe it was quiet self-sacrifcial non-disruptive christ-like activism that forced progress and not — like — the incredible economic pressure of boycotts and outbreaks of illegal civil disobedience

Yapping to the choir but eughhh it burns me up girl effective protests have to be loud and inconvenient for change to happen because silent cries die in the dark that's the entire pointtt

Eurovision is in a week so reminder to not watch or support it in anyway with the fact that Israel is still in the competition
