Passionate monologue on music culturefrom @djangodegree

Transcript

To anyone that's overly OVO like me, I just want you to pause for a second and think about the fact that we're probably closer to the last album that Drake will ever release than we are the first. Welcome to tier greatest show on earth. And action. And I don't mean that in a negative way. I mean that in a way of reflection. I remember when my grandma died, I had never had someone who had been in my life from the beginning just cease to exist. For many of us, we grew up listening to Drake, or for some of you, you've literally never existed in a hip hop world where Drake wasn't dropping music every year. And so it's easy to, like, always look ahead because Drake's always been the person who's going to drop again. Part of you will die once Drake decides to stop making music. And I think if you really take tier time to read this caption Bro put out, you can see that Drake really loves hip hop. Like, you hear these people say, oh, I love hip hop. No. You love your power within hip hop. Drake really loves hip hop. At every step, Mans has literally gifted us music year after year. In some ways, the same way that Kobe and Jordan talked about taking a day off. People pay money for these tickets. You have a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to do something that people dream of. And for so many other rappers, they decided, I'm worst out. I don't really want to. I'm gonna be all mysterious. Drake always fed us. Every summer he said was gonna be lit was lit. And that's why I wrote this open letter. I will never get the opportunity to write my thoughts before FOMO exists again. And I best been working on this for the last few weeks, and reading that caption really put it together for me because the genre of hip hop is not dying. There's so much incredible music out there. It's just that the bourgeoisie is dying. The the gatekeepers are dying. The gatekeepers no longer have the ability to bring this assembly line where they make a bunch of money by pandering these algorithmic concepts of artists. And we watched what Drake did. And we always knew it was true. And the only thing I fear is that you won't be the real you. I remember when the article headline said that Drake was dead, that it was over, that his reign had ended. Now they're talking about how the culture is healing. Oh, brother. Just comment overly ovio, and I'll send you the article. More life, and happy FOMO's Tier. Look, fuck all y'all. We ignore villains here. Premature millionaires, welcome to my realest year. Yeah. I swear that we making it killing here. I should be on top of the world just chilling here. But it's funny having fans who find you before anybody ever has the chance and build you up so you good be the biggest in the game and realize when you're there sometimes your shit don't feel the same. Yeah, and plus things are just surreal at home. People think I change just because my appeal is grown. And that security followed me everywhere, so I never actually am alone. I just always feel alone. I think I'm scared of what the future holds. I was wishing for some things and now I'm used to those.
