Drake Accuses Coachella Country Club of Racial Profiling
Drake isn’t officially on the Coachella lineup, but he did make an appearance over the weekend to perform with Future. But it seems as though a Coachella country club wasn’t too welcoming to the rap-singer. Drake posted an Instagram message to the Madison Club, a country club a few miles outside of the festival venue.…

Dear Atlanta, SMH.
Traffic in Atlanta sucks ass. Full stop. I know LA has notoriously horrendous traffic. And I realize that there are other places, like Washington, DC, that also experience trash ass traffic. But when I think of Atlanta, traffic is literally in the top 2 things I associate with the city. I’ve been in the dumbest…

10 Thoughts on Drake and His ‘Playlist,’ More Life
Disclaimer: I’m not sure I’m a Drake fan, but I’m not NOT a Drake fan, either. I listen to all the albums and have listened to Drake songs when washing dishes, changing diapers and eating brussels sprouts.

Drake's "More Life" Is Leftover Cooler Water From Last Summer's Trip To The Beach
I hope Drake forgets his flip flops just before he steps in the shower at the gym or maybe he buys a series of Tim Horton’s franchises that get shut down by the health department or maybe he stubs his pinky toe on the OVO office coffee table. I hope that something, anything, significant happens…

I was away from my computer for much of the day on a journey that took me to quite a few places, including The Container Store. Which although I’d never actually been there until today, has always fascinated me. I first heard about it in a Bill Burr stand-up routine over a decade ago, in…

The Best Rap Beefs Ever
It’s interesting—and somewhat sad—that this decade’s only two meaningful rap beefs have involved attempts to sink the same floating dead body. It started in 2015, when everyone’s favorite manila-folder-complected, suburban Torontonian, Drake, traded “bars” with the somewhat less-meaningful Philly maestro of shout raps, Meek Mill. Though Meek exposed Drizzy for employing ghostwriters—a damning accusation in the world of…

The Draylor (Drake And Taylor Swift) Dating Rumors, Explained
Who is Drake? Drake is a walking, talking text message read receipt. Who is Taylor Swift? Taylor Swift is White. Why are they in the news today? They’re both very famous. Drake for crafting the soundtrack for feckless millennial fuckboys (like him) and somehow, through sheer force of personality and recent beardedness, convincing America that’s…

Is 2016 The Beginning Of The End For Drake?
Its at best counterinituive and at worst gotdamn fucking insane to suggest that Drake may be at the precipice of becoming less popular. Especially since he’s never been more famous and more singular. At the moment he stands as the undisputed king of the hip-hop hill, the only other contenders either too old (Jay Z), too “eh, I…
