He's a Canadian theater kid

“Keep makin' me dance, wavin' my hand and it won't be no threat”

there is a video of him saying it with the hard "er" in his early days

“you a black man, even when it don’t benefit your goals” kendrick was teaching Adonis

J Cole and Kendrick sell more than most rappers and they’re conscious!!

Drake a actor

kendrick got me agreeing with lord jamar shit is crazy right now

It's funny how long it took people to see Drake for who he was😂😂😂

I am white and I cringe when I hear Aubrey say it

Those videos of young Drake with his white friends talking about "he doesn't like the way black people talk" exposed how he really feels about black culture. He not a colleague he a colonizer. 💯

Puts on the costume when he deems it appropriate aka the master of Code switchin

There's video of Drake saying the nword with the "ER" ending before he was rapping while he was working on his TV series Degrassi. Drake is a suburban square that didn't even grow up around black Canadians and used to make fun of black Canadians at his school. Drake is in his black face bag big time now as a rapper. He's an actor playing the role of a rapper - the biggest acting role of his career.

“I’m not black, I’m Oj”

There's a video of Drake saying Toronto slang is "ignorant" as he sits at a table with the Degrassi cast.

There is actually a video of him saying it with the ER just like that, and talking down on slangs.

Nas & Tupac are profitable rappers who make conscious music

“It's no accent you can sell me…” -KDot

We need to start calling him by his name, Aubrey.

That last question about 'if it was possible to be conscious and profitable' was weird given that we have Kendrick Lamar as literal proof that it is possible.

It's because it's different ghostwriters

From day one I knew Drake was fake. Gangster rap hell naw stick to just rap

Fugees were incredibly popular as a conscious group, even after they broke up, they all did well.

Common's stay schemin song was the first to break all this down

Some people don't understand that hip hop was our news to let us know really what was going on in different hoods not glorifying killing and drugs

The end of euphoria he said we dont wanna hear him say it no more

He had a personality that"s so far off u speaking FACTS SIR 💯

To the point of whether or not a conscious rapper can be profitable at that level, the answer is yes, it's happening now. Kendrick's last album, as much as they wanna say it was a flop, outsold Drake's last album. Just because you don't hear a rapper's song used in marketing everywhere doesn't mean it doesn't have an audience and isn't selling. Drake's music is only really popular because it's subliminally pumped into your ears at every turn. It's played in the background of the shows you watch, and at events so even though you don't like it, you can't escape it until you've heard it enough and you just simply know the music. You STILL don't like his music, it's just comfortable at that point. His entire career is product placement. Mos Def wasn't just saying that it's the type of music you hear in a Target while shopping, he was also saying that Drake in and of himself is a Target, a corporate entity whereby everything that it displays is decided by committee to be the most appealing to the widest audience and have something for everyone so that they are reliant on it as a resource even if the products are simply average and is heavily supported by if not subsidized by advertisements and brand deals.

“Jamaican Drake , white Jew Drake , London Drake , Toronto Canadian Drake “ lmao 😂😂😂😂😂

I appreciate you referring to us mulatto sir.. Thank you

I’ve been saying this for some years. Him and Iggy Azalea basically does the same thing. They “put on” blackness when they rap. They do not talk like that.

I loved Brand Nubian back in the day and still play All For One on a regular basis but it’s sad to see rappers from back in the day criticizing rappers that still have a career. Jamar talks crap about other artists but won’t jump in the booth himself but I can understand that because without Puba and Sadat, he wouldn’t have survived as a solo artist. He can’t say he’s too old because KRS One is still releasing albums and we have new albums coming out this year from “older” rappers like LL, Rakim, and Common.

Jamar think he slick....he a good actor.....i caught that

I called out that aubrey goof 10 years ago and was called a hater

DRAKE DID BLACK FACE

Kendrick is more of a rapper than Drake is. I like Drake's music he is corny

Like T.I said Kendrick is the most succesful revolutionary/conscious rapper

Should‘ve kept it Canadian

This is exactly why he doesn’t do interviews like breakfast club n shit like that where they’ll pick him apart 😂

Theirs a 1:JAMAICAN DRAKE 2: British Drake 3: White Drake 4: Australian Drake 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lord Jamar is fucking funny as shit

I catch myself laughing whenever a drake song comes on now. All his lyrics just have me cracking up.😂😂😂

Y’all forgetting AfroBeats Drake?

Wayne told him to keep it Canadian.

That Rosenberg interview was so appalling because of how much he leaned into the Jewish Ness. Then turns around and starts talking gang culture and "nigga" in the music.

Nothing but truth from Lord Jamar! Peace to him

Great conversation, especially about conscious artists and profitability

Common is probably the most successful conscious rapper. He has Grammy, Emmy and Oscar awards. Not to mention the acting side.

I thought the thumbnail was Dennis Rodman

Yo Lord Jamal Your I still listen to your albums till this day. The best 15.00 i spent. It would be dope to hear you spit some new stuff.

Wouldn’t Kendrick count as being conscious and profitable? Or maybe I am misunderstanding what Lord Lamar means. Lauryn Hill too, even though she didn’t have a long solo run. I feel like Nas sold decent numbers in his peak, but maybe he isn’t being considered conscious. Again, maybe I’m misunderstanding what he means.

I am white, I like Kendrick and Drake. It seems like everyone is so jealous of Drake that they can't stop taking trash about him.

Drake used to think the N word with the hard ER at the end was the correct way to use the N word lol dude is on more than one video saying the N word with the hard ER lol from the two videos I saw in one he was in a studio then in another he looked like he was on set of Degrassi

I haven’t seen a jamar vid in years

“It would really mature in such a way” 😅😅😅

Gangstarr was also mostly conscious. They did fairly well and had one gold album.

im black and even I don't say the n word. it feels weird to me, but maybe because of how I was raised...

Jamal looking crazy. Rotten teeth with a diamond chain?

Drake is an actor. He's the modern day CB4 .

I said that many years ago now my supreme Alike getting light for bringing it to the surface.

The first time I was ever introduced to Hip Hop it was from my Oldest Brother Brand Nubian Album.

2:30 sound like something Paul Mooney would day😂

I just wanna know, does vlad supply y'all with the powder for the interviews or you bring it yourselves? Seen too many powdered up there.

I love Drake but he told no lies I always said if Drake wasn’t a good artist he wouldn’t be the type of person these rappers would hang with a biracial Jewish kid from Canada who grew up mostly with his white mom and was on a TV show with a bunch white kids be real😂

Don't agree with everything cuzo speaks on But he %100 on point on this topic

I see Lord Jamar I click like and subscribe

I hate how everyone is suddenly calling Drake out for these things when the dude has been around for over *15 years* and none of you said anything. I remember complaining about Drake saying the n word in 08 and other black americans told me “who cares?” Now suddenly they want speak out because another popular rapper criticized him? 😂

I missssss Lord Jamar being interviewed. I know he has a podcast but it doesn’t hit the same. I like how he responds to questions. I usually agree with like 99% of what he says and that’s rare. Big up to the one and only Lord Jamar!

Added to Our East Coast Culture Playlist🏆

“Lord Jamar Will Live Long”

Of course Jamar had to chime on this

Listen to drakes songs when he first came out. His flow sounds just like lil waynes, and i couldve swore that the songs he rapped were songs lil wayne probably wrote.

" what is it the braids "

“So many SKUs” 😂

He literally said when he was younger that black slang is ‘so ignorant’ and that he doesn’t talk like that On camera and everything - he’s an actor fr

From house to field and back. 😂

Don’t hating on kdot drip! Lol

He's an actor so he's gotta play that role 🎭

Lord Jamar is a hater and just mad bitter. What's his greatest accomplishment? He was the weakest part of his group! 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

He literally said the hard R. It's on KZfaq

We've all been saying this! but we got labeled "haters" and brushed off. Now everyone wants to act like they're suprised. You could tell from day 1 what he was doing.

....but, do we have to even say it at all!?? This is a wild ass world we live in where we're justifying who can say it. Dammit!

He really had to learn to say it with an a instead of an r. And that process started after he started rapping.

I'm tryna see what Asian Drake sound like

There's a video of Drake(during his degrassi days) where he talks about toronto slang being ignorant with his YT friends.

I totally agree with Jamar. Aubrey is a Canadian actor. He is not African American. He is not from the hood. It’s totally insulting.

There is actually a video of Drake saying guys who talk slang are weird. He was talking about toronto slang i believe when he was younger. He didnt grew up like that at all

I still listen to brand Nubian🎤1 for all is all for 1🔥

It’s cringeworthy to hear anyone say it.

Straight FACTS

Don’t forget the UK Drake 😅

There is clear footage of Aubrey saying that Toronto slang is ignorant but soon as TDot got a lil light in it …now he got an accent FOH!!

J. Cole grew up with his White mom too but look at how cultured he is..

THE OG REALLY NEEDS A TEETH CLEANING

Drake is a character. Jamaican Drake, Atlanta drake 😂😂

Been saying for years that Drake is Aubrey Graham biggest role.

Lord Jamar we have to protect the God

It's truly a 1v20. There's so many Drakes.

That sounds like versatility to me. Y'all ninjas are jealous. You could hear the jealousy in his voice. Pitiful. 😂

Crazy how some blacks have problems with Drake saying the n word but crickets when other races say it in there music we our own worst enemy sometimes

No lies told here.
