Anyone else think its fucking scary how much control Drake (and his army of publicists) have over pop culture right now?

Seriously what the fuck is this shit how does someone turn a summer b side into a spontaneous fall hit and potentially the last big meme of 2015

This shit just isn't natural

You guys understand that Taylor Swift and Drake have a disproportionate presence on the internet in part do to modern PR astroturfing, right?
>>
It's a pretty solid simple song, Ghetto Elevator music. It's great.
>>
>>60549288
Taylor Swift, Chvrches, OPN, Arca, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, the list goes on.
>>
>>60549325
It's blatant. I'm really surprised how much people haven't caught on to what's happening to the internet. Corprorate and state actors, including record label marketing teams create sockpuppet accounts and make memes and text posts to make it look like these entities are viewed more positively and energetically than the population actually views them with a good amount of plausible deniability.
>>
>>60549325
>OPN
>Arca
what the fuck are you talking about?

>>60549390
In Drake's case with Hotline Bling it was so blatant it hurts. I mean that shitty videoclip meme is so forced and spread it could only be done by paid entities.
>>
le grampa dance xD
le vaporwave influence!!
>>
>>60549495
OPN never really popped off until Warp started to viral him hard, sure Replica got some indie coverage, but it was very polarized.

Arca is pure marketing hype, his music isn't any better than thousands of any other soundcloud producers. He got big because of his ties to the fashion industry.
>>
Drake has reached levels no rapper has ever. Not even Eminem I think. He got a huge following because of white people, but Drake can hit both blacks and whites. Hispanics the most. I think his influence and popularity can get beyond most pop artists too. Crazy once you think about it.
>>
>>60549629

Get a Journalism or maybe a communications degree and then apply to a PR firm.

>>60549144
Drake was predestined to be the next big thing
>its fucking scary how much control Drake
lol no
Drake doesn't control shit, his handlers do and they realize that Drake can make a lot of fucking money by tapping into the mostly White audience that listens to hip-hop and rap. Drake even more bubble gum than Will Smith.
>Canadian
>half-black
>Jewish
Drake presents a non-threatening and accessible entry into hip-hop that is still legitimate as opposed to that faggot Macklemore.

Yeah that makes sense. Still Arca's stuff is pretty damn good, I mean if Björk thinks your stuff is good then I think at least you're doing something right.

Because white people like to think they're the best at everything so when they find a half decent white rapper (a genre dominated by blacks) they suck on his dick like leeches, then there are blacks who can't take white rap seriously. Drake hits both demographics desu, and beyond it too because of songs where he sings maybe.
>>
Drake is a pop star who can rap, not a rapper who can sing pop.
>>
>>60549698
because niggers won't shut the fuck up about >muh rights and >muh dick and it's getting annoying
>>
>>60549698
Because we enslaved black people 150 years ago and forced them to do shit for us, so we have to make an effort to let black people feel accepted.
>>
>>60549307
>ghetto
Why does middle america love using this word so much?
>>
Drake had the most ubiquitous vine/instagram presence back when this kind of shit was seen as too "soft" by most rappers, the whole "softest nigga in the game" thing worked out for him in spades because white people want "soft" rappers
>>
>>60550852
those centuries of slavery and genocide probably got annoying too
>>
>>60550939
because the word nigger is too "offensive" to use instead
>>
>>60550966
they wouldn't have done any better if we just left them all in africa because they were enslaving their own people and selling them to us for beads and seashells
>>
>>60550880
>Because we enslaved black people 150 years ago and forced them to do shit for us
not true btw, nobody alive in the US now has owned slaves unless they did so in another country.
>>
IT'S WHITEYS FAULT DRAKE IS FAMOUS

TIME TO ENSLAVE YOU ALL
>>
>>60551005
150 years ago wasn't that long ago. Some people alive today have talked to people who were enslaved in those times.

But the whole race thing is complicated. We're all forced to put on this facade of acceptance and we're told to take the blame when in reality what we should be doing is forgetting about that chapter if we want to move on and live in harmony. Remembering it and identifying with it, as a lot of black people do, just increases animosity imo
>>
>>60551195
>implying racism isn't alive in 2015
not addressing racism allows it to fester, just because you pretend it isn't there doesn't make it go away.
>>
>>60551315
I'm not talking about ignoring racism, I'm talking about ignoring slavery. Racism is natural, there's a reason races even sprouted up in the first place, because people with different characteristics (skin color) get ostracized from the tribe and start their own.

But nobody really remembers what race the Egyptian slaves were. I think the same can happen in America over time.

Ok

>>60551395
that's bc modern day racism has it's roots in slavery, it's effects still resonate. you can't just say hey we don't own you anymore be happy and forget about it. jim crow laws were only 50 years ago you think that just fades out that quick?

You do realize that he's only gotten this far because his contract allows him to remain unusually independent and the label doesn't have much say in what he does. It's mostly the doing of his own personal team.

I think Germans have the biggest knobs in the white race. If I'm remembering my facts right, the average penis length of an African country like, say, Kenya is just a fraction higher than Germany. That means the difference isn't big enough to be at all significant since the guy with the biggest schlong in the world is white I believe.

That award goes to /tv/ though.

i'd say it's a tie, i'm pretty sure that the only way to get banned from /mu/ is by being racist

>>60552026
People don't actively post threads with the OP image being interracial sex on /mu/ though.
>>
>>60549578

when OPN got on warp he also joined motormouth media iirc who is a really good firm. i think a lot of other writers want like one electronic musician to latch onto for the year. he will be the new aphex twin i think
>>
>>60552042
no, they usually start as "is TPAB the best album ever? why do black people make better music?" or something
>>
>>60551725
Yeah? I think its shitty to argue about something thats over 150 years old and dwell with a primitive attitude about it. You do know most white people have nothing to do with slavery, mainly from immigration from white euro nations the 1900s to the late 1930s
>>
>>60552078
That's /pol/ shitposting
>>
>>60552078
At least that's related to music though. You really don't think there is quality difference between here and /tv/? I've never seen interracial get spammed here, not by it's own community. There was that trap spam like a couple weeks ago but that's was a raid, not something done by the people here.
>>
>>60552105
every thread on both /mu/ and /tv/ devolves into meme shitposting and c.uck shit

still, you can't deny that /mu/ has one of the shittiest userbases on 4chan

>>60552172
Do you think hip hop perpetuates the problem?

It promotes the same greed and sense of superiority that the black community is angry at white people for. Sure it's cultural appropriation, but it makes me think that if black people were in power, they'd be just as bad as white people, or really as bad as any race of people. All people are dicks and will take advantage of the upper-hand they have, unfortunately.

Modern hip hop is a weird mixture of excessive luxury and ghetto life, it can't be all good for the community.

>>60552243
>you can't deny that /mu/ has one of the shittiest userbases on 4chan

Yeah, I'd completely agree. This place could be much better.

who else thinks we need a /kpop/ board? I'm tired of these fucking gooks and gook lovers on this place

it's sad because this is probably the only place where you can talk about music that isn't generic shit everyone's heard before

The RYM community is decent, sometimes. As a site though, RYM is incredible for finding new music.

>>60552376
I can't say I have been to those places. Still though, /tv/ is complete shit. The only threads I enjoyed posting in on there when I browsed were LotR ones but even those devolved into nothing but memes.

/s4s/ is ironic, but every time i try to post from my 4G data some fucking faggot always gets it banned for shitposting on /toy/

i can't even post on it anymore because the whole range has been fucking blocked now
