Drake Seemingly Reacts To Mos Def’s Comments

On Tuesday, January 16, Drake took to his Instagram Story to repost a resurfaced clip of Method Man. In the clip, the rapper defined what hip-hop is.

“Hip-hop is the culture. It’s a way of life, it’s the way you dress, the way you talk, the way you walk — it’s the breakdancing, the rhymes, stage shows, DJ, the mixin’, the scratchin’, the wordplay,” Method Man defined. “That’s hip-hop…”

Additionally, Drake captioned his publish with just a few phrases seemingly addressed to a person he didn’t disclose. Drake appeared to suggest that the person was switching up on him.

“What umi say again? Lemme shine my light king don’t change up now…” he wrote.

Social Media Reacts

Social media customers entered The Shade Room’s remark part to share their stance on Drake and his place in hip-hop tradition.

Instagram person @pink_lipsty wrote.

“I love Drake but like people can have opinions without it being taken as hate, dislike, shade, etc”

While Instagram person @wifematerial_since1986 appeared to agree with Mos Def’s stance.

“Mos Def didn’t lie. I love Drake & his music but I don’t think of him when I think true HIP HOP. Honestly. He gives like a poppy, sanitized, commercial ‘Hip Hop’. & that’s ok! He’s the goat of HIS lane.🤷🏽‍♀️”

Instagram person @__preacher__mannn added.

“Just cuz you rap doesn’t necessarily make you Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop is a culture. Part of that culture is being true to yourself and that should reflect in the art. Drake does alot of shit that is actually disingenuous to Hip-Hop culture. I understand the arguments of him not being Hip-Hop mainly because there is a certain lack of authenticity with him on a cultural level. Sometimes it feels like Aubrey Graham the actor is playing a character named Drake that is a rapper.”

While Instagram person @tonynomanners additional defended Mos Def’s stance.

“He’s part hip hop, part pop. I don’t think it’s even meant to be taken negatively”

Instagram person @prez_x added.

“[Mos Def] said ‘to me’. That means it’s his opinion. Let people share their opinions.”

However, some customers, corresponding to @mr.hons_barry, disagreed with Mos Def’s perspective.

“Maybe, just maybe…Drake’s musical contribution is so vast, y’all just don’t know where to put him lol. Cause how is Drake not hh?”

Instagram person @iamtresanders added.

“Y’all get so one track minded when it comes to versatile artists. Drake has major hip hop records and still is very much hip hop. Just because he makes money doing other types of music shouldn’t take away from him being a prominent HIP HOP figure. Let that hate and shade go. Because that was definitely shade.”

Here’s What Mos Def Initially Said About The OVO Artist

As The Shade Room beforehand reported, clips from Mos Def’s latest interview on ‘The Cutting Room Floor‘ podcast surfaced on January 13. In one explicit clip, Mos Def was requested if he feels “Drake is hip-hop.”

“Why are you doing this to me,” the rapper initially responded earlier than elaborating. “Drake is pop to me, in the sense like, if I was in Target in Houston, and I heard a Drake song… it feels like a lot of his music is compatible with shopping.”

Mos Def added that the Toronto-bred rapper’s music is “likable” earlier than he took a deep breath and burst into laughter off digital camera.
