ACL Review: Drake

By Kahron Spearman, October 4, 2015, 12:17pm, Earache!

The most important thing to remember is that Aubrey Drake Graham is your host, your main topic of conversation, and your latest and greatest inspiration. The words of the late, great Teddy Pendergrass are at once apt and critical, given that a primed and game Drake brought a diverse crowd upward into his domain utilizing a most seductive torque – his success.

Another important matter of fact is the 6 God understands you and knows what you want, which is more of the 6 God. On set starter “Legend,” he intended us to know his career is on fire, as illustrated via occasional pyrotechnics. During “We Made It,” the big screens plastered a message: “If you’re reading this, we made it.”

By “we," the Canadian MC means “he,” almost as if he’s invited you in to see his “Trophies.” See what the 6 God foresaw right there? Now that he has your valuable attention, the pleasantries:

“I go by the name of Drake; I’m from Canada. It’s nice to meet you.”

After the Weeknd-assisted “Crew Love,” he made commands:

“If you came out here tonight with your real friends, and not your fake friends, make some noise.”

Afterward, he ran through all of the major and minor hits, from the softer “The Language” and “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” to the booming, passively aggressive “0 to 100” and “6 Man.” After the big, flashy finish of fireworks, the Toronto rapper/deity escorted us to the door, put on our coats, and asked that we make it home safely, as a good host should.

Also, white people – identification with Drake doesn’t mean you get to say "nigga." Seriously, please stop. The prophet, Michael Bolton from Initech, has already shown you scripture, visualized in Office Space.
