NOTE: this is not important at all.. its just a little theory i had swimming around in my head.. feel free to skip this if you wish.. or if you read it.. feel free to let me know if you agree or disagree
i have wanted to say something about drake for a while now i am not a drake fan however i've just wanted to point something out about him i've heard so much about drake in media.. they say he is soft, they say he is fake, they say he cares too much about what people think, they say he takes things personal, they say he doesn't understand that "hip hop is competition" etc etc if you know about drake then you probably know what i'm talking about but i want to point out something about him that i think a lot of people are missing or forgetting.. (note this is not a defense of drake.. i don't care either way.. i just feel like people are missing this) here it is: drake comes from the acting world the culture of the acting world is far different from the culture of rap i have taken acting and theater classes so i happen to know actors have a culture of camaraderie they love each other.. they all work together to make the plays and the scenes look great... also being actors, they are able to hide personal feelings when it is convenient and they are able to show only the positive actors are good at making things seem ok when they need to, or when they feel that it is appropriate rappers on the other hand are more upfront and honest generally.. also rappers oftentimes see others are competition as opposed to comrades so.. for everyone who says drake is fake or phony or weak, or he doesn't get it or whatever u have to remember the world he comes from the acting world is a few things (generally) 1. it is a very supportive world.. people back each other.. they usually don't tear each other down 2. they focus on the positive 3. they cover peoples' flaws and see the good in each other the hip hop world is not really like that.. so when drake does something corny.. a lot of times i've noticed its something that would be accepted in the acting world... but not in the hip hop world like i remember on the breakfast club they had a recording of drake saying trey songz was really funny and a great friend and trey songz was like "wtf is drake talking about?" but in the acting world, they do things like that- they act like they have great relationships with everyone in all their interviews or recently tyga said drake is "fake".. but i feel like what tyga is really saying is "drake is nice and friendly to the point of it being ridiculous and it feels disingenuous" but that's how the acting culture is.. they talk everything and everyone up.. they are paid pretenders.. so you may get some embellishing from those types of people it just is what it is.. he's from a diff culture peeps this happens in reverse sometimes as well.. like ice cube started off in the rap world where its ok not to smile.. but in the acting world, i've heard some people crack jokes about how hard it is to get ice cube to smile its just diff cultures
