REAL 6ICKO “put my money in the grave” is a selfish statement. It’s literally the most selfish thing people have ever done in history. Confirms to me that there is nothing new under the Sun. When one is dead they cannot at all benefit from what they have accumulated. I’m responding to the thinking that wrote such a line, and the thinking that celebrates it. This type of thinking was the ignorance of ancient rich and powerful classes who would be buried with treasures and even their (living) slaves because they thought that their afterlife would be a continuation of their worldly experience of scummy exploitation. It was a signal of status to other rich and powerful peers, and was premised on the delusion that the hierarchy was divine providence. I see the same type of thinking here. Drake feels he deserves millions of dollars and he is actually “better” than others because he has such wealth. In fact, it’s simply a result of our capitalist society disproportionately rewarding frivolous activities like music and sports due to their ability to generate consumption on which the system is built upon. That, and the fact that corporations generate more revenue than actual countries (as well as harm) and can distribute wages however they see fit. That people like this are role models, and lyrics like this taken as gospel truths is disgusting. Is it healthy to have a life wherein you think everyone else (and those close to you) are undeserving scum who don’t deserve anything,l? How does saying that it’s better to burn the wealth you received from others (for an activity that does not actually benefit people) a thing to celebrate? It’s a pagan mentality and modern capitalism is a return to barbarism. The only person better than another is one who has better character. Everything else will end and rot away.
Will always be a favorite. They killed it. The beat kills it. The video looks fun as shit. When this comes on you can’t help but let loose, dance, and have fucking fun.. and rap the whole thing, because we all know it lmao
Why are people hating this song... yes it might not be a lyrical masterpiece, but its got a catchy tune and thats basically what the song was meant for, to catch on/be a commercial success.... I mean what do you expect from a song called "Pop that"?
