"who cares about his intentions! He made people smile" LOLS


You seem real salty. He should have took the label budget and hired ig thots to twerk on him in a club. Screw the people he helped, at least it would be more genuine in your eyes!


You are all missing the point.

The man is playing all of you fanboys lol

Tell me again about how he's the best rapper alive!


Life is good when you have time to sit around and complain about someone helping people that need it,regardless of intentions. His intentions dont change the fact that he actually helped these people

I'm telling you his intentions are to have people buy his music and sell-out his concerts.
He doesn't give a hot damn about poor people.

It's really quite saddening that poor exploitation is something we're celebrating here.
Why not start exploiting races, or LGBTs next.

This post is literally nonsensical.
He's done **** like give money to the homeless, pretend to donate for Toronto Basketball, nut-hugs anybody who is famous. Has released mix-tapes, etc.

If you cannot see how he's only after money and building his own brand, you need a vision check lol

Everything you have said here makes no sense. What do you want him to do?

You understand he has to make money to donate money, so if everything he does is self-serving and a part of his increased wealth as a result of this self-serving goes to the needy, whats the issue? Who is he hurting?

You seem like a person who complains for the sake of it. Must suck to live life that way :lol:

Dude charges $75 for a plain white T-shirt with a little owl on it... Just remember he's robbing people before giving a small percentage back. #SmokeandMirrors #MyTwoCents

He's not forcing anyone to buy it. If you choose to spend $75 on a t-shirt, that says more about you than Drake.

LMAO Mcdonalds really? you are comparing SELLING burgers to charitable donations? If Mcdonalds went to the ghetto and gave away free burgers to everyone i would salute that too :wink: . and when did I ever talk about Drake as a rapper, I was stating the point that he helped people out...

lool I am totally being trolled right now no way someone is really that ignorant.

Nah man, it's you who missed the point ... completely.

There are hundreds of ways to spend your own money and it's easy to not be philanthropic in that pursuit.

He decided to give some money away. You seem to take issue with that reflecting well on him - so what if it does? The act itself was still beneficial to others.

You're playing yourself.

That's an argument against consumerism in general. Why do people pay a premium on headphones to have Dre slap his name on something that is technologically equal to other alternatives?

You gonna hate on Drake for participating in capitalism? Seriously? It's not robbery if fools are willingly forking over their hard earned money for it.

You hate the player so much, you're blaming him for the game.

Do artists really even get 1 million dollar video budgets?
The man is clowning all ya'll fanboys! 6GOD LOLS


Be that as it may it's still $1 million donate to people who need it. It's transparent that it's a mutually beneficial endeavour. All charitable work is mutually beneficial to both parties. Keep thinking you're smarter than everyone though :D .

And no there aren't $1 million videos anymore, this isn't 1999.

Lol. Yeah all those poor people the shared the music video budget instead of the film crew really feel exploited I'm sure. :roll:

When was the last time you donated anything? Or do you not give money so you don't exploit the poor.

I'm not hating anybody... I'm informing people on behaviours I don't approve of from the game, the players, and those who are get played by players of the game. I don't hate a man, but I certainly don't give a dude props for his "generosity."

Also, you can keep defending a game that is rigged, I won't... No, I'm not a communist, nor a libertarian, fascist, or anarchist; I'm a critic of crony capitalism and the greed it facilitates.
