Views from the 6

Views from the 6 is the fourth studio album by Canadian rapper Drake. The album is set for release on April 29, 2016 in connection with the labels the labels OVO Sound, Young Money Entertainment, Republic Records and Boy Better Know. This album has been highly anticipated by fans, both nationally and internationally. He has heightened the expectations of his listeners. The artists since his previous album has dropped mixtapes with Atlanta rapper Future, Drake has been popping per usual.


This album has been waited on since last year, and based on his songs “work”, “sweeter man” and his most recent track, “ controlla”  and its caribbean approach coupled with his sentimental songs that was on If You’re Reading this it’s too Late, you never know what route he is going to go. That's what his fans find intriguing about him as an artist, not to mention his vocals. Drake has become an extremely diverse entertainer as he fits the expectations all while breaking the boundaries sets for rappers. “ Drake stands for DO. RIGHT. AND. KILL. EVERYTHING.” And that's exactly what he’s doing. Killing the rap game.

This album hopefully will be a great start to a summer full of good music from Drake ending with his annual OVO Fest in his hometown Toronto.  “Summer 6teen”

Black Privilege

There is no such thing as "Black Privilege" those two words don't even sound right being put together. There will never be a way to make up for the way that African Americans were treated no matter how much they may try and cover it up. There have been instances in history that has proven that so be so. Whites will always be inferior in the judicial system and it is up to us as Black people to become unified and not allow this supremacy to continue. This article "It's time to talk about black privilege" is a complete and utter JOKE! We have never had anything handed to us. Everything that we have we work for and still continue to be viewed as the "victim" The fact that some believe that Blacks are privileged is an insult. Give me ten reasons as to how whites "struggle" and I could give you a hundred of the stop of my head. We struggle in the workforce, in the music business, movies, modeling industry, fashion industry, CEO's, business owners, college. The list goes on and on. Luckily we are able to come together and cope and work to become better as a unit. But the fact that we even have to do that is absurd! We live in a society that proves that no matter how credible and how qualified you are there will be a moment where you will be judged based on the color of your skin. This is reality.  Whites need to stop trying to flip the script. We will NOT forget what racism has done to us and our ancessstors  This whole "black privilege" thing is a tool used as a distraction. But  we will not be distracted, we will move on and continue to fight for equality between the blacks and whites.  The article brought up the topic of black history month. Black history month is sacred and widely celebrated in the African American community and should be able to be celebrated unappologetically. Let us have our month. They see us happy and try and take it from us. Whenever there is an advancement they try and shut it down. So when they brought up having a talk about black privilege, I in return say, that there aint nothing to talk about.
