Is Drake not black? I don't listen to his music so only ambiently know about him as a Canadian, and he's always sold himself as black

@sirpeppersto answered your question better than I could (the tags are from my original post).
My thoughts are under the cut. TLDR at the bottom.
Here’s what I’ll say, Drake is mixed. Mixed or Biracial people might be considered Black depending on where you’re at in the world. Many mixed people identify as Black in the US. But it’s not about whether or not Drake identifies as Black. Having a Black Canadian parent doesn’t entitle him to appropriate Black American cultures.
He appropriates Black American rap styles and cultures, down to the city, depending on what’s popular at the time. He steals flows from other artists. And flows are usually geographic. A rapper from Memphis is not gonna rap like dress like or act like someone from Chicago or someone from Brooklyn or someone from LA or someone from the DMV or someone from Atlanta. This has shifted a bit since the advent of social media. But rap is still deeply rooted in geographic traditions. Most rappers would agree that a city makes a rapper not the other way around. Rap is a very geographic thing because it’s shaped by lived experiences and communities. It’s a form of music that is inherently based in the community.
Drake steals culture not even just from Black Americans, he dabbled in afrobeats when it was on the up, he hung out in the UK for a bit and sidled up to Drill and Grime artists there (according to people over there).
Drake slips in and out of various black cultures like they’re costumes in a way that his contemporaries don’t. Yeah, it’s fine for music artists to update their sound based on what’s popular. We’re all shaped by our environments. But Drake does it to such a degree that it’s disingenuous plagarism. It’s a hustle to him not a craft.
And because of that, it feels deeply unserious for nonblack people to call him the king when he’s only ever been a tourist.
Rap is a Black American music tradition, rooted in Black American experiences. I’m not trying to invalidate other rap traditions from other parts of the world (like UK Drill or Grime). I respect it, but know the roots.
And other music traditions don’t get treated this way. Nobody is lining up to hear Reggaeton from a Spaniard. An Irish person probably wouldn’t take an Englishman’s attempt at Irish folk seriously. There’s distinctions between Jpop, Kpop, and Cpop.
And the rock genre wars? Oh you’d probably get jumped in the early 2000s if you called Avril Lavigne the best rock artist, or even a rock artist at all back then. (You can tell my knowledge of non-Black music is limited lol.)
My point is that Rap is a Black American music tradition. It’s a music tradition. Well over 50 years in the making at this point. But then it leaked into the mainstream, it got popular outside of Black American spaces. And now anyone with a DAW and dream is a rapper. People who don’t know jack about the culture. People who have never been in that environment, never cyphered, never battle rapped, can’t freestyle, etc. are calling themselves rappers. It’s frustrating.*
I’ll cut myself off before I go on about how most Black American music traditions have been apropriated and detached from Blackness. But hopefully I said something informative for someone with this long ass rant.
TLDR: Drake is a mixed race Canadian. Not a Black American. Rap is a Black American tradition so he was always gonna be a tourist. Also probably just watch FD Signifier’s videos about it. There are many good ones on this topic, I’d start with the one from 3 years back called “Drake and the Death of Hip Hop.”
*That last bit wasn’t specifically for Drake. Drake has weasled himself in Black American spaces at this point. That was for all the dull uncultured derivates popping up left and right like whack-a-moles.
#drake#music#ask#rap#black music#that DAW and dream comment was for Jack Harlow yes it was#it’s two white rappers I’ll tolerate and that’s Em and Aesop Rock#wait you forgot-#i didnt#never cared

Every time I opened up about how I feel, you acted like I was attacking you. Instead of hearing me, you defended yourself. I wasn't asking you to be perfect. I was asking you to CARE! :(

tragic! trans person no longer merely tolerating the act of existing just now realising their entire wardrobe is ass
#''yeah haha i just never really cared about clothes growing up'' free roaming eggs are on sale this weekend#can you believe that having a body you actually like to look at in the mirror makes you want to put good clothes on it too?#surely this is uncharted territory in the mapping of human experiences

#funny talking tag#My favorite thing to do is HC characters as trans but also that they've never heard that term before and act accordingly.#My other favorite thing to do is make characters repressed.#My other other favorite thing to do is make a character go ''I feel like a(n) object/animal/thing pretending to be a man/woman''#''but I don't really care about that right now I have a job''#Anyway while this post can be about whichever characters you feel fit I made this with a certain character in mind.#(Dimentio of SPM fame) (He has something really specific going on that makes me cackle) (You can ask me about it)#(Also Morceau Oleander is a trans woman to me because she would be happier)#(and she deserves to live a life not defined by other's expectations of her)#Someone put a forbidden and ancient curse on this post so no more.

I see your “Apollo agreed so easily because he doesn’t care about Odysseus” and raise you “the god of prophecy knows that Odysseus is going to make it home, so he’s not going to make much of an effort to stop him.”

sorry guys, you're like twenty feet from shore, you're basically dead already.
(also I choose to believe that Malleus just spends the rest of the event with ham on his face. it's better that way.)
(seriously, I can't wait for this poor couple to excitedly get all dressed up in their wedding best and embark on the most romantic day of their lives, only to suddenly have Malleus Draconia pop up out of nowhere, covered in ham and Grim spit, and scream "BOAT! BOAT! LA LA LA" while gently misting them with a dinky little novelty water gun...in the name of LOVE)
(this event is amazing)
(RIP Grim though)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#eternity float#eternity float of the coral sea#man forget the test of love#the only thing i care about now is frikkin jade dunham presents the mostro lounge handpuppet theatre#sorry azul and floyd he gave malleus his WORD that this would happen#this is what you get for flaking out on him#this whole event is just a solid block of jade being an absolute little shit and i'm living for it#fight fight go go go NOW SING#i've never been more furious that events aren't voiced#gotta listen to the coach. it's a matter of life and death.#also shit guys i know it's not sexy but you should be wearing life jackets!!#water safety!!! c'mon!!!#is there going to be a lifeguard on duty to oversee malleus popping up covered in ham and grim spit and wearing his policy-approved floatie
