How do you think you would react? I would say 2Pac handled that well at 20-25. Through all that he stayed humble and still made conscious music. He had fun on certain songs, yet he still made more conscious music than not. So based on that I don’t think he was young minded. There are people in their 50’s right now who are immature.

They want Black artist to do mall/bubble gum music which is black targeted, like Tubi.

    Drake is pushed to be King of this genre because he upholds consumerism in its highest form. Hip Hop is a culture built on being the voice of the voiceless and rap, being the soundtrack of hiphop gave messaging... Drake messaging is safe to any and all establishment...his raps arent political, nor ideological, and when they are personal, its only pertaining to his view of his love life, family and friends. Even the King of "Pop", Michael Jackson gave us edgy political songs. All of the other important artist in music's history have giving us a time stamped opinion of society. Drake literally moves like Switzerland. He is probably the safest rapper ever to hold such dominace, you can put Drake music on and not think.
