Drake is a child actor from a well off family. There's nothing authentic about him or any other top pop artist from autotune to ghostwriters. Their stories are of music label hit factories.
- nradov 4y agoIt's like how Kid Rock tries to project the image of a redneck shitkicker when in reality his father was a wealthy car dealership owner and he grew up in a suburban mansion. But the image sells and the fans are loyal.

- jletienne 4y agoidk about well off, his mother was an english teacher not a hedge fund exec. nothing wrong with hiring people. If you dislike autotune and pop music, i think that’s valid. but it’s really a function of artists responding to consumer preference. there are plenty of high quality niche artists who don’t have the mainstream appeal or success
- haliskerbas 4y agoNothing wrong with hiring people. But if the song is about the story and you don’t mention someone is writing it for you, how am I supposed to know if drake actually has a side girl with an iPhone 5s that has a cracked screen which she uses to respond immediately? A widely rumored but undisclosed ghostwriter brings the authenticity into question.
- tel 4y agoThe optimistic side of me hopes that AI commoditizing this sort of manufactured art will help to ultimately reduce its value to larger audiences. My pessimistic side suggests that it only means that larger audiences will come to admit that they're actually interested in something other than the music. AI is going to make the pinnacle reality TV.
