Following Katie Couric and Drake’s interview, BET‘s Tony Anderson rounded up the pair for another sit-down. Whoever thought hip-hop would take it this far?
Up there with Jay Z? Its like they set this poor nigga up to get hated on… He is def the most excited newcomer in mainstream hip hop. I give him that. To have done what he did is big… BoB madd #1 hit cant reach gold, and Drake selling Jay Z numbers in big… Lets see what he do with his next album
Eloquent= code word for wow..he speaks properly without the use of ebonics!!
I realize the word is intended as a compliment, but it’s being used to connote a lot more than the ability to express one’s thoughts clearly. It’s being used to say more, even, than “here’s a black person who speaks standard English without a trace of Ebonics.”
Eloquent or articulate is really a shorthand way of describing a black person who isn’t too black — or, rather, who comports with white America’s notion of how a black person should come across.
Whatever the intention, expressing one’s astonishment that such individuals exist is no compliment. Just come out and say it: Gee, he doesn’t sound black at all.
@Kidd Billion@ire cosign they do set drake up… fuck a hater though !
@alonzo ? what was the point of that
white people hype stuff too much anyway
rap radar good job with the abundance of drake posts lol
keep up the good work of getting the haters heated
AYE B.DOT that last line was fucken corny! Drakes music is littered with ebonics too FOH.
One more Drake post and u stop, okay RR staff? Hw many geeks are employed there anyway?
And ‘hatersRannoying’ keep talking shit. Ill find u. Dont get stomped for RR comments. Haha!
That other dude interviewing him is a total suckup. I guess the industry pays people to basically complement their biggest stars, or… “investments”.
Mr.Anderson is being prententious and is making everything awkward.
Lame.
