If we look at the framework of the argument Lamar is putting forth about Drake, in our collective declaration of Lamar as the winner, what exactly are the politics that we are co-signing, if any? The colonialist character of Israeli aggression reveals the true shape of American democracy as it is “promoted” throughout the rest of the world — material comfort for a protected minority, principally those who are lucky enough to be born within the right borders, and subjugation for the majority.
This propensity, towards a masculinist strain of black nationalism, arises out of structural exclusion from the capitalist system as well as an individual’s experience with social marginalisation. Most recently, an anti-migrant sentiment among black residents of northern cities facing an influx of asylum-seekers has been widely publicised by the national press.
Nipsey Hussle famously courted conspiracy theories and trafficked in black conservative capitalism, going so far as to partner with the Republican Party on redevelopment initiatives in his own LA suburb. Drake, in Lamar and his fans’ telling, is thus a symbol of all the social ills wrought on the black community by wealthy, white liberals in all their cultural appropriation, DEI initiatives , snide late-night talk show jokes, and tokenistic elitism.
Drake, who grew up upper middle class in Toronto’s suburbs , flawlessly copied US black regional cultural output from New Orleans to Atlanta to the Bay to embody the empty “rainbow” nationalism of a multiracial democracy. In El Salvador, a right-wing crypto-currency booster has imprisoned a staggering proportion of the population in the interest of law and order. He rails against meddling in his country by “global elites” , and is celebrated as an innovative and visionary thinker for doing so.
