Jumping to it involvong children automatically is a reach because nothing said alludes to that naturally. It could be drugs, guns, fraud...to jump to child trafficking is a recipe for jumping the shark because if that's disproven, everything else you say sounds sus. Look at the actual MTG diss, once people focused on the alleged hidden daughter people ignored the trafficking and being a front for criminal enterprise stuff brought up. So if that one detail gets disproven, people will try to toss it all out.

I said the music video was an allegory for Drake both literally and figuratively taking art and culture and selling it wholesale, like a shipping culture out of countries. Yea you can fit any type of trafficking, but imo Kendrick was a little on the nose since that's been his longest gripe with people like Drake.

Same feeling. child trafficking is horrible and it's horrible when some use it as a jump scare. Sometimes it diminishes when you find links to say drugs and gun running or trafficking of adults. Or various other things that destroy communities.

Yea and I like CC, I just dislike her spotlight. It makes the game unnecessarily hard for her and the expectations tend to showcase more racial and sex based bias than anything. Great for the money but sucks for the personality of the WNBA. People are ignoring a generational rookie class because they want more conversations about 1.

Yea, but honestly makes sense considering how many don't actual care about the game vs CC representing something deeper for them. The idea Angel Reese is good and that iron sharpens iron seems to scare them. Many were seemingly in the belief the WNBA game was soft so I can understand how they can't see more than the player they came in for.

Imo what Reese is doing, is also historic. Not only for her rebounding rate and consecutive double doubles but also from her offensive rebounding. Couple in the fact she isn't that big for her position, and people expected a long learning curve due to how she played at LSU vs the unknown aspect of her skillset transitioning to the pros. Imo she isn't a PG but you can tell the team kinda runs and finds their identity through her and the amount of hockey passes and directed assists she gets is crazy, very high BBIQ that has shown up in the boxscore and when you watch them play. Idk I think it's both a runaway ROTY for 2 so far but those 2 are very close. Dark horse is Aliyah Edward's imo

I mean that's just broad stroking, their are also multimillionaires who fight trafficking. I'm going off what I interpret directly from the video itself (art canvas while he treated the same room like a cell, them being apparently located in a shipping container with Tommy and the rest of the dancers, how the shipping containers relate to the art based amusement park he brought, his love of accuring hip hop memorabilia and not allowing the community to also embrace it, etc) and a main theme of Kendricks criticism of Drake has been about how he steals and sells off a culture he doesn't actually relate too.

Plus the leap to trafficking children is both a modern red scare tactic imo and ignores the fact that if anyone was trafficked from Drake affiliates in mass, they were more than likely of legal ages and influneced by hos aura. Plus Kendrick called him Weinstein and not Epstein.

Idk thats a stretch for me based off the information presented, but metaphorically it seems like maybe it's a look at what Drake is for hip hop and doubling down on the colonizer talk.

Drake is a colonizer who ships culture and art out for profit..?

Honestly that would be a good.move for everyone involved. Watch Cam get that "post lakers bump" all of these guys have been getting

Actor turn rapping pop star.

Plus he doesn't play the angles like traditional slow unathletic players who get atleast 6 rpg. Like he has no energy or focus to do that. It's a mentality thing

I'll wait because I'm a laker fan but Pelinka's moves don't make me believe in him more. I also don't think our roster is horrible, but we have glaring holes he has neglected for atleast 3 seasons.

Yea but that's an outlier imo check the Dot sub now. That 1 person felt a way but majority don't and most I see don't come here to troll Cole

I'm in the Kendrick sub and honestly I have only ever seen victory laps about the Drake slaughter. If Cole is brought up recently it's about how either he was smart, how he is the bro and was never a target, how he would have given a better rap bars only battle.

Yea idk why I was downvoted but I've seen the same shot. It's weird, they are too triggered to troll the Kendrick sub so they settle for here

Yes in hip hop but radio is bullshit and doesn't represent hip hop as much as they are needed for rap. Nyc radio didn't play a lot of outkast and little brother but will spam the fuck outta Jeezy. If anything the east coast has the most gate kept radio Playlist. They don't even play actual hip hop artist from NYC (skyzoo?).

Sounds like that but also layered with the pop out crowd

When? I'm from the east and there is way more gate keeping from NYC Radio. They supported the south before they fully embraced the West. Outside of the label beefs being framed as coastal wars, there has always been love fromthe artist om both coasts. Even at the height of Bad Boy vs Death Row, Wu tang was on both label albums.

Bro Drake is Canadian so its more a hip hop anthem . Plus East Coast cats been celebrating the West Coast.

That's wild, I wonder what's her take on like Em or Anderson.Paak
