Did you cry during theGods Planvideo?
I love songs about hard-working people coming into money they deserve.
My favorite Kanye West song is The Glory.
Gods Plan fits the vibe.
The chillier reaches of the response to the Drake video perplexed me.
I lack the energy to hate Drake this much.
The song samples Lauryn Hills Ex-Factor and Get Your Roll On by Birdmans old group the Big Tymers.
Theres toasts by New Orleanss queen of bounce Big Freedia, whose absence from the video gives me pause.
The songs lyrics salute women for all the difficulties they experience in a day.
It really sounds like hes working on himself.
The credits named at least half a dozen others.
Its a beautiful clip that makes me feel a little suspicious.
And now hes done it twice.
I wouldnt be surprised if the next video featured a basket of puppies.
Is Drake just falling in line withpops unspoken wokeness mandate, or is he genuinely interested in change?
Does it even matter if the product feels good and gracious?
Im not so sure anymore.
