I’m getting word that Raekwon is currently having renovations done to an office space in Toronto, Canada. Know why? Because Raekwon is setting up shop across the border to take advantage of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement mane.
Some of you might be confused so I’ll explain.
Raekwon is about to sign a bunch of Canadian artists to his label and it’s a smart move. Know why? Because the Canadian government gives large grants every year to their Canadian artists mane. Don’t believe me? Ask Sarah McLachlan.
The rapper/actor Common is highly upset at Drake. Know why? Because Serena Williams was teaching the corporate mainstream rapper Drake how to play tennis mane.
Has hip hop become a high school musical? I don’t know but I know this Common and Drake beef is kinda childish. Don’t believe me?
Here’s what Common said in his song “Sweet“:
Yeah, man, y’all ni**as man, you soft muthfuckers
