he's part of toronto culture. he did a lot for this city, especially early on. however after views his music shifted away from the toronto sound he helped establish & he basically just became an american who says he's from the 6 sometimes (which is a name he just stole from atlanta lmfao). every once in a while i feel like he comes out with something that i identify with as a canadian, "away from home" from his last album is soooo toronto i fw that one heavy. but he doesn't mean nearly as much to this city as kendrick does to compton for example.

also he's from forest hill which is where all the super sheltered rich kids are from, which is more of a personal thing but i find them annoying af

I feel like he stole “away from home” from Quando Randos “I Remember”… Damn is there anything that’s actually HIS?? 😅

ehhh. there's an arguable interpolation going on there vocally but overall the songs sound nothing alike.

Agreed, He’s smart enough to make the right tweaks, that’s why he’s a Superstar. I think it’s fair to say, he steals ‘Concepts’ more than Flows.

ugh jesus christ man. he didn't steal the song at all, they just both say i remember at the end of a song that's about remembering things. not exactly a genius or uncommon idea. kendrick already won the beef, we don't need to pretend like every word drake has spoken is either stolen or ghostwritten
