Can you not imagine how both artists might benefit from a highly publicized beef? On the surface Drake seems like the butt of the joke, but he's quietly enjoying the fame bump, since, as you pointed out, anyone who looks into his situation will see that he's not actually a pedophile. On the surface Drake and Kendrick are enemies, but behind the scenes they are business partners and working together (along with ghost writer Honkey and friends) to create one of the most viral pieces of content this year. On the surface Kendrick is asking Drake if he's tired, but behind the scenes we all know that the line has a deeper, secret meaning that even Kendrick doesn't recognize. "There is no such thing as bad publicity." -Phineas T. Barnum The song isn't meant to be a full college level lecture on the meaning and history of pedophilia. It's just a vehicle to introduce the concept and start conversations. It's up to the children's parents and adult friends to guide further, but for now it's enough to just put them on notice that there are some friendly adults who aren't to be trusted.  |
