Elder Millenials, do yall remember learning about the era before OSHA in school? Absurdly dangerous, inhumane working conditions that cause catastrophes and led to the formations of unions?
No? Just me?
No? Just me?
Blue collar jobs are dangerous as hell. And they trying to get rid of OSHA as a whole?! Fuck them and that. Every rule in the handbook is cause somebody died.

You can’t work in advertising or marketing with this take. One commercial don’t mean anything. All of that is based on people’s sentiment and if the perception of him is negatively changing then guess what?

Ain’t no way in hell you heard that migga singing and thought he did a favor to the genre of Rhythm & Blues.
not a drake stan but I do think modern r&b owes a lot to him and 40. especially men who occupy that space.
I said Drake got a pass on a lot of shit in Hip Hop because he came off as the corny cousin with a good heart. He was in on the joke about himself or so it seemed.
But all these passes really did damage because his corniness became the way ppl felt Hip Hop was supposed to go.
