    Drake didn’t grown up in a culture unless you count the Jewish community he lived in in Toronto with his mum. So his idea of blackness and culture is something he’s discovered later on in life so he has no loyalties to one particular type of music or particular region. Hence his accent changing every 6months depending on what’s hot at that time

      No only ppl in the uk who are also fake street life wannabes he resonates with. The real ones out here who are living that life for real, we don’t resonate with Drake, he’s clearly a fake.

      @@vaultGPT REASONS DRAKE WAS CALLED WEIRD PRIOR TO THE BATTLE: him being 31 and befriending a 13year old Millie Bobbi Brown going on dinner dates with her and when she was 14 her revealing that he tells her he misses her and gives her advice about boys; at 29/30 he was a fan of high school girls basketball games, with Lil CC saying he's a fan of "Women's" high school basketball and followed her when she was in high school because he was friends with her teammate; being friends with Bella Harris age 16 when he was 30 years old and being pictured hugged up on her when she was 18; being friends with Hailey Bieber since she was 14/15 years old (he 24/25) then dating her when she was 19; contacting a 17 and 18 year old Madison Beer & Charlie d'alessio who he only knew from instagram on a facetime call to meet up, the mother told the story saying she realised her daughter had made it. He was 31. Texting Billie Eilish when she was 17, being nice to her, she couldn’t believe how nice he was. When she posted “18 tomorrow” he commented I’ve been waiting. He was 33. Based on this info one might say "hey Drake I know you like em young" others might say "this guy's a pedo, why is he always creeping around youngens?" Both of these things were being said about Drake on the internet for years prior to the battle. He himself said in Taylor Made “Talk about him liking young girls” so he was fully aware of the allegations out there about him.

    Hello Mr Nollid. What or who is a "culture vulture" will remain a subjective issue. I mean that discussion can equally apply to different groups in the UK. But, on the specific issue of "slang", the common issue between London/UK slang - specifically the Jamaican derived terms e.g. "Gyal", "Man dem", "Riddim", "Ting" etc is because in both Toronto and many parts of the UK, Canadians and Brits of Afro-Caribbean origin culturally dominate and have influenced parts of the UK music scene. Many Caribbean people have family in both London, and Toronto.

      @@zionokungbowa I left a long long long comment explaining the problem to the creator of the vid but it’s now deleted: Here’s the shortened version that is still long lol: Yes he’s been stealing since he came out because he had no culture of his own to contribute to the game what with him being raised in a Jewish middle class household. He had no blk culture he could draw on because he was detached from that world as a result of his dad not being in his life, no urban culture to draw on because he was detached from that world too given his middle class upbringing. This meant he had to constantly get those things from elsewhere to sustain the “Drake image” whether by stealing from others or attaching himself to ppl who had the cultural currency he lacked. He used London street life, Dancehall, afrobeats and of course American street culture and once he started getting called out he started to use Toronto street culture, adopting the multicultural Toronto accent and slang to try to give himself some authentic cultural credibility (I.e from his hometown) but that is not his accent either, he did not grow up entrenched or part of the urban communities in Toronto so he can’t even do the multicultural accent properly which would be the equivalent of MLE in London.
      After his recent Raptors blunder, someone posted, “he speaks really well, sounds nothing like on his songs”, so why he decides at other times to talk as though he was raised in the streets/hood/ghetto is ridiculous and yet that’s the image he portrays in his songs - the image of street life. There’s nothing wrong with having a good upbringing in a middle class home, but we didn’t all have that experience and him portraying the image of someone who also didn’t have that experience when in fact he did, and profiting off that image is why we call him a culture vulture, a colonizer, and a clown, and why we essentially want the fraud outta here!
