Test

I’m a long time Drake fan. Been listening to him since high school and through my college days. In college I studied anthropology, I love understanding culture and history. I have a lot of respect for Professor Skye, his analysis on many of his videos comes from a good place. However I do feel ever since the Drake and Kendrick beef, there has been a tonal shift in his videos where he mischaracterizes Drake and makes conclusions that fundamentally don’t make any sense when you critically look at the evidence. This is surprising given that he has a PHD, but I can chalk it up to his YouTube content mainly being relaxed. He is often hailed as a figure in some online hip hop circles as a sort of authority, I’ve seen comments online of people blindly pointing to his videos as their trump card, and their evidence to support whatever narrative they have regarding a topic (often Drake). Truthfully, watching his videos can give you the impression that he is an individual that deeply knows what he is talking about.

However just because someone possesses a PHD, doesn’t make them any less of an authority on a subject than someone else. A loaded statement of course and somewhat hyperbolic, which is par the course of the type of verbiage that Professor Skye uses in his videos. Professor Skye is very knowledgeable, his PHD from what I have researched is in French Literature. Now, how a French Literature Professor is seen as an authority on Hip Hop Culture by some, is beyond me. I have watched many of his videos, in fact I’ve casually watched him for years, and often times I find myself disagreeing with his arguments or feel like he is making connections that just don’t work. I always found him interesting to watch regardless; I think watching content from those you may not always agree with is healthy and stops yourself from being in a bubble. This is why I also enjoy Fantano’s content despite our clear differences in opinion regarding music taste.

What I hope to accomplish in this post is a critique of one of his videos regarding Drake, specifically his “Drake the Class Warrior (for the super rich).” I hope this post can serve as your own rebuttal to look to when someone recommends that video to others. I am planning on doing this sort of post for other videos I have seen from him and a few other content creators regarding Drake. I have used Reddit formatting to break this down into sections for easy navigation. And yes, this is a LOT of words. If this doesn’t interest you then no harm no foul, feel free to ignore this post. But I do know at least one other person will find this interesting, and to me that is a win. I used to do debates in school so this wasn’t that hard to write up and research actually, especially because many of the arguments are surface deep.

In the words of Skye’s favorite rap star; “It’s time for him to prove that he’s a problem.”

Introduction

Professor Skye has a video criticizing Drake – even accusing him of “class warfare” against his own fans over a gambling deal with Stake.com. As a longtime Drake listener with a deep respect for his work, I feel that this portrayal is deeply unfair. Yes, Drake’s partnership with an online casino is controversial, and it’s fair to scrutinize it. But reducing Drake to some cartoonish villain “for the super rich” ignores the full context of who he is, both as an artist and as a person. In this post, I’ll break down Professor Skye’s major arguments and explain why Drake doesn’t deserve this level of scorn, using a more nuanced (and fact-supported) perspective. (Spoiler: Drake’s legacy is a lot bigger than one sponsorship.) A Link to the video can be found here: https://youtu.be/QRHFYKFiR-8?si=i8IyANc5xeNpWMN0

Rebutting the “Class Warfare” Accusation

Professor Skye’s most inflammatory claim is that Drake’s involvement with Stake amounts to “online gambling is class warfare” – essentially saying Drake is helping the rich exploit the poor. This argument might sound compelling on the surface, but let’s unpack it:

Hyperbole vs. Reality: Calling Drake a “class warrior for the super rich” is frankly absurdly hyperbolic. Drake is a musician and entertainer – not a politician or an economic policymaker. His Stake partnership is a business endorsement, something countless celebrities, from athletes to actors, do. To label this one deal as “class warfare” implies malicious intent to harm his fans, which there’s zero evidence for. It’s a huge leap from “questionable promotion” to “waging war on the poor.” We should criticize bad business moves, sure, but let’s not pretend Drake is some 18th-century aristocrat plotting to oppress the masses.

Personal Responsibility and Context: Online gambling is a serious issue, and it can hurt vulnerable people – no argument there. However, it’s a widespread phenomenon well beyond Drake. If we’re talking class warfare, the entire gambling industry and lack of regulation deserve far more blame than one artist who took a sponsorship deal. Drake’s fans are not brainless drones; the vast majority aren’t emptying their life savings just because Drake plays roulette on stream. It’s worth noting that Stake is a legal platform in regions where Drake promoted it and many other public figures (e.g. Twitch streamers, YouTubers) are involved in similar promotions. Singling out Drake as the face of gambling’s evils feels like scapegoating. It’s fair to find his casino streams tacky or tone-deaf, but labeling him an enemy in a “class war” is over-the-top.

Drake’s Intent – Entertainment, Not Exploitation: From Drake’s perspective, his Stake streams were portrayed as entertainment events, hanging out online, placing wild bets, celebrating wins, etc. In fact, Drake often gave away large sums of money during these streams. He wasn’t just telling fans “go gamble”; he was also literally sharing the wealth. For example, in one livestream he and Stake donated $1 million in Bitcoin to LeBron James’ I Promise School for at-risk youth (essentially converting gambling winnings into a huge charitable donation) (Source)[https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2022/03/24/drake-promises–1-million-for-lebron-james–i-promise-school]. In the same announcement, he gifted $100,000 to a random fan, saying “Anytime I get blessed like that, I always think it’s good karma that needs to be transferred… I play for fun, and I play in hopes that I can spread love always” (Source)[https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2022/03/24/drake-promises–1-million-for-lebron-james–i-promise-school]. That doesn’t sound like a heartless tycoon exploiting “worker peasants,” it sounds like someone who, perhaps naively, thought he could turn a controversial hobby into something positive for others. You can argue it was still ill-advised (gambling promotion is problematic, no doubt), but the class warfare narrative ignores these goodwill gestures and Drake’s likely motives.

Not a Pattern of Malice: If Drake had a career history of exploitive behavior towards his audience, maybe I’d buy the “warfare” angle. But this is the same artist who has repeatedly shown love to fans and less fortunate communities (more on that later). One gambling sponsorship, however questionable, came later in his career, as he explored new platforms like streaming. It’s a stretch to take this one facet and declare that Drake is intentionally/unintentionally fighting a class war on behalf of the rich. Frankly, that claim says more about Professor Skye’s dramatic rhetoric than about Drake’s actual character. In short, Drake’s Stake deal can be seen as a misstep, but not a moral apocalypse. Criticize it? Fine. But to portray Drake as an agent of “the super rich” against regular people is to severely misconstrue reality. It vilifies a man who, outside of this, has largely used his platform to entertain and often uplift his audience.

Drake’s Stake Partnership in Perspective

Let’s put Drake’s Stake.com partnership into a broader context. The deal reportedly earned him a huge sum (some sources speculated up to $100 million/year), and yes, that’s an eye-popping amount even for Drake. But is this “greed” or just the new normal for celebrities? Consider a few points:

In today’s entertainment landscape, musicians aren’t just musicians – they’re brands. From sneaker lines to whiskey brands, almost every top artist has lucrative side ventures. Endorsing a crypto-casino is certainly one of the more controversial options, but it’s not ethically unheard of. Sports leagues have official betting partners; Snoop Dogg has promoted online betting apps; even respected athletes like Tom Brady endorsed crypto platforms. Drake jumping on the bandwagon of a (legal, if unregulated) online casino reflects this broader industry trend of monetizing celebrity influence. We might not like that trend, but it’s not as if Drake invented it.

Only Drake knows his true reasoning for doing this promotion, but we can hazard a guess: He loves the thrill (he’s publicly shared his personal gambling losses and wins before), and he saw a chance to connect with fans in a new way (live-streaming bets with an audience) while getting paid handsomely. As a mega-celebrity who’s achieved basically everything in music, it’s not shocking he’d experiment with something different for excitement. Importantly, since Drake is already fabulously wealthy, it’s unlikely he did this purely for money – more likely, it was the novelty and the partnership opportunity (the same way he tries new sounds in music, he tried a new platform in media). None of this excuses promoting gambling to potentially young fans, but it does make it understandable as a business decision rather than some mustache-twirling scheme.

Professor Skye’s framing implied Drake committed a grave offense against his fans. But let’s keep perspective: many artists have done far worse by their communities (some have incited violence, promoted genuinely hateful ideologies, etc.). By contrast, Drake’s “sin” was promoting a legal vice that plenty of adults engage in. We can debate the morality, but it’s not black-and-white evil. Drake also wasn’t forcing anyone to gamble; he was sharing his own extravagant betting escapades – which, arguably, most viewers treated as entertainment (like watching someone play high-stakes poker). If we hold Drake solely responsible for any fan who makes a bad choice afterward, that’s a slippery slope – do we blame artists for fans who try to live out lyrics, or actors for fans who emulate movie stunts? Personal choice does factor in.

What Does the Research Say About Gambling Promotions?

One major element missing from Professor Skye’s critique is empirical research on whether gambling promotions like Drake’s truly entice new gamblers. While it’s intuitive to assume that high-profile endorsements might lead to increased gambling participation, studies suggest a more nuanced picture. Research indicates that gambling advertisements primarily affect existing gamblers, reinforcing their behaviors, while having a smaller impact on attracting non-gamblers. This suggests that the primary effect of such advertising is to encourage more frequent or higher-stakes gambling among those already engaged in the activity. (Source)[https://eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/id/eprint/220177/1/1-s2.0-S0033350622003420-main.pdf]

However, there is evidence that a minority of new gamblers cite advertising as a reason for starting. For instance, some surveys have found that a notable percentage of individuals reported that advertising prompted them to begin gambling. Nevertheless, the majority of advertising effects are felt by current gamblers increasing their betting or returning to gambling after a break. (Source)[https://aifs.gov.au/research/research-snapshots/exposure-and-impact-sports-and-race-betting-advertising-australia#:~:text=,increased%20the%20amount%20they%20bet]

Furthermore, problem gamblers and at-risk individuals are the groups most affected by gambling advertisements. Studies have found that although relatively few gamblers say advertising made them gamble more frequently, problem gamblers are significantly overrepresented in that group. (Source)[https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/gambling-advertising-and-harm-caused-by-gambling/#:~:text=match%20at%20L125%20people%20who,to%20gambling%20after%20a%20break]

The takeaway? While Drake’s partnership with Stake.com can certainly raise eyebrows, the research suggests that gambling promotions don’t create a tidal wave of new gamblers. Instead, ads reinforce or escalate behaviors in those already participating, especially problem gamblers who are the most vulnerable. That’s a serious issue for regulators and public health officials to address, but it’s also far less apocalyptic than the picture Professor Skye painted.

This doesn’t fully excuse Drake (there’s still a debate about normalizing gambling), but it undermines the idea that he’s personally responsible for widespread gambling harm. The real responsibility lies with regulators, platforms, and the industry to control how gambling is marketed and to whom.

In perspective, Drake’s partnership with Stake.com is a flawed decision in an otherwise stellar career, not proof that he’s abandoned all ethics. It deserves critique, but also a fair assessment alongside the good he’s done. And speaking of that good…

Beyond Stake: Drake’s Broader Cultural & Artistic Contributions

Drake performing live – his influence extends far beyond one controversy.

It’s easy to get caught up in the outrage of the moment (and Professor Skye’s video certainly does). But let’s not lose sight of Drake’s bigger picture. Over the past decade-plus, Drake has contributed enormously to music and pop culture. Here are some hard facts that demonstrate the positive impact and legacy that far outweigh one shady sponsorship:

Record-Breaking Artistic Success: Drake is not just a popular rapper, he is the most record-shattering artist in the history of popular music. He was honored as Billboard’s Artist of the Decade for the 2010s due to his complete domination of the era (Source) [https://people.com/music/billboard-music-awards-2021-drake-accepts-artist-of-the-decade-award/]. To put his success in perspective, as of 2025 he has surpassed even The Beatles in several chart milestones. His albums have spent over 3,300 weeks combined on the Billboard charts – more than any artist ever (Source) [https://www.revolt.tv/article/drake-breaks-the-beatles-billboard-200-record-with-more-than-3300-weeks-charted]. He’s earned 358 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 (the most of any artist), including 80 Top 10 hits and 42 Top 5 hits, and he’s tied for the most No.1 albums (14) by a solo artist in history (Source) [https://www.revolt.tv/article/drake-breaks-the-beatles-billboard-200-record-with-more-than-3300-weeks-charted]. These numbers aren’t just trivia – they reflect how consistently Drake’s music resonated with millions. He literally shaped the sound of the 2010s and beyond, delivering hit after hit that defined the soundtrack of our lives.

Musical Innovation and Influence: Drake’s artistic influence is massive. He pioneered the fusion of singing and rapping in a way that redefined hip-hop’s sound – making vulnerability and melody cool in a genre that once prioritized machismo. Albums like Take Care blurred genre lines, infusing hip-hop with R&B and atmospheric vibes, to critical acclaim (that album is even ranked among Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, a huge honor for a modern rap album) (Source) [https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-albums-of-all-time-1062063/drake-take-care-2-1063141/]. He’s collaborated across genres – from Latin (song with Bad Bunny) to UK drill, to Afrobeat – bringing cultures together through music. Countless younger artists cite Drake as an inspiration for their style or career path.

Global Impact and Representation: As a Canadian (Toronto-born) artist who became a world superstar, Drake opened doors for non-American hip-hop artists to gain global prominence. He put Toronto on the map in music; the “Toronto sound” (moody, melodic, atmospheric hip-hop/R&B) became a phrase in music journalism largely thanks to Drake and his OVO Sound team. He’s been an ambassador for his hometown, even literally, as the global ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, helping elevate the team’s profile, and yes, he was there celebrating when they won the NBA championship. Drake’s success showed a generation of artists that you can be from outside the usual hotspots (NY/LA) and still take over the world. Culturally, he’s been a unifying figure – bringing together fans of rap, R&B, pop, and beyond, of all backgrounds. It’s no exaggeration to say he’s one of the defining pop culture figures of the last decade.

Connection with Fans: Despite his massive fame, Drake has maintained a relatable, down-to-earth persona in many ways. He’s known for lyrics that connect on an emotional level – from introspective songs about heartbreak and loneliness to anthems about striving for success. This genuine relatability is a big part of why he has such a loyal fanbase. Even Professor Skye’s portrayal of Drake as some out-of-touch rich guy doesn’t line up with how Drake actually communicates with his audience. In interviews and speeches, Drake often comes across as humble and grateful. (When accepting his Artist of the Decade honor, he admitted, “I’m really bad at taking compliments… I’m always wondering how I could do it better”, hardly the words of an arrogant oligarch.) Drake’s ability to stay human in the eyes of fans – to be “Wheelchair Jimmy” from Degrassi who made it big, or the guy who still worries about getting it right – is a cultural contribution in itself. He’s a role model for many young people, not because he’s perfect, but because he’s relatable and aspirational at the same time.

The upshot: Drake’s artistic and cultural contributions are immense. To judge him solely through the lens of the Stake controversy, Professor Skye’s video does, is to do a disservice to an artist who has given us a decade of memories, innovations, and even community pride. Drake’s legacy is richly textured – one gambling deal doesn’t erase Grammy awards, record-breaking tours, timeless albums, and an indelible influence on music. As Revolt.tv aptly put it, Drake’s latest chart record “solidifies his reign as the defining artist of the streaming generation,” with a legacy built on “consistency, innovation and a deep connection to fans around the world.” (Source) [https://www.revolt.tv/article/drake-breaks-the-beatles-billboard-200-record-with-more-than-3300-weeks-charted]. That’s the Drake I think of – not the narrow caricature from Skye’s critique.

Track Record of Giving Back

Another aspect conspicuously missing from Professor Skye’s takedown is Drake’s track record of generosity and philanthropy. If you only watched Skye’s video, you’d think Drake is some greedy magnate hoarding coins from the poor. In reality, Drake has consistently used his wealth and platform to give back – often in very public, impactful ways:

“God’s Plan” Donations: Perhaps the most famous example is the 2018 music video for “God’s Plan.” Instead of spending the typical huge budget on flashy cars or effects, Drake gave away the entire $1 million budget to people in need throughout Miami – surprising families with stacks of cash, paying for students’ scholarships, funding a women’s shelter, and more (Source) [https://www.businessinsider.com/drake-gave-away-million-dollars-in-gods-plan-music-video-2018-2]. The video literally shows Drake handing tuition checks to students and cash to struggling individuals, many moved to tears. This wasn’t done quietly; Drake wanted to send a message about spreading blessings. It’s a music video, yes, but also a mini-documentary of charity. The Miami Herald reported Drake personally donated $25,000 to a high school and $50,000 to a University of Miami student during this project (Source) [https://www.businessinsider.com/drake-gave-away-million-dollars-in-gods-plan-music-video-2018-2]. That’s life-changing money for those folks. Does this one act alone forgive all flaws? No. But it shows Drake is far from indifferent to the struggles of ordinary people – quite the opposite, he deliberately sought to uplift many with his own fortune.

Charitable Partnerships: Drake has continued doing good off-camera as well. I already mentioned the $1M donation to LeBron’s I Promise School, which directly supports underprivileged youth in Akron. That donation is particularly poetic in this context: Drake took money won from Stake, and channeled it into education for kids who need help. Rather than waging class war, he literally performed a small act of wealth redistribution. On top of that, Drake has been involved in other charitable initiatives – from donating to food banks and shelters in Toronto, to supporting NGOs like WE Charity’s efforts in Haiti. He doesn’t always broadcast these, but they get reported. For instance, when Toronto was struck by COVID-19, Drake quietly donated $100,000 to local relief efforts something he only mentioned later in an interview, not as a publicity stunt. He’s also known to give extremely generous tips and gifts randomly (there are many anecdotes of him paying college tuitions, buying cars for strangers, etc., that pop up over the years).

Supporting Emerging Artists and Friends: Philanthropy isn’t only measured in dollars. Drake has a history of lifting up others’ careers, which is a form of giving back to the artistic community. Through his OVO Sound label and collaborations, he’s shone a spotlight on numerous up-and-coming talents – PartyNextDoor, The Weeknd, Majid Jordan, BlockBoy JB, Lil Durk, to name just a few that benefited from a Drake cosign or feature. He doesn’t hoard his platform; he shares it liberally, often hopping on remixes of lesser-known artists’ tracks and instantly boosting their profile. This might not be “charity” in the traditional sense, but it speaks to Drake’s ethos of bringing his people (and new talent) up with him as he climbs. It’s pretty much the opposite of a selfish, classist attitude.

All these examples paint a picture of someone who is far from a cold elitist. Drake has shown generosity and social consciousness throughout his career. The “class warfare” accusation not only ignores this, it outright contradicts it. You can’t cherry-pick one gambling deal and ignore the $1 million he gave to strangers in need, or the school he donated to, or the careers he’s jumpstarted. If anything, Drake’s story often highlights upward mobility and helping others rise: he came from modest means (child actor, mixed-race kid from Toronto trying to break into American hip-hop) and lifted himself up, then paid it forward time and again. That doesn’t excuse everything, but it sure provides a balanced view of his character that Professor Skye’s one-note critique completely misses.

Conclusion: Drake’s Legacy Deserves Better

Criticism is healthy, and Drake is not above it – fans and commentators alike have every right to call him out. The Stake.com partnership and the whole gambling promotion saga is definitely criticizable that justifies some backlash. On that, I actually agree with Professor Skye: it was reasonable to question Drake’s judgment there. However, the way Skye went about it – framing Drake as a perpetrator of “class warfare” and seemingly writing off his entire legacy over this is, in my view, deeply flawed and unfair.

Drake is a complex, multifaceted individual: a human being with strengths and flaws, not a cartoon villain. Over more than a decade in the spotlight, he’s given us an incredible catalog of music, broken countless records, and made cultural waves that very few artists ever achieve. He’s brought joy and inspiration to millions of fans. He’s helped people in need along the way and has generally conducted himself with appreciation for those who supported him. That doesn’t mean we ignore the missteps or give blind praise, but it means we evaluate him fairly. One controversial deal does not erase a decade of accomplishments and goodwill.

Professor Skye’s video, while perhaps well-intentioned in highlighting the pitfalls of online gambling, ended up painting Drake in an extremely negative light that quite frankly he doesn’t deserve. It’s a reminder that we should be careful about letting one narrative overshadow everything else about a person. Drake’s broader story is one of innovation, hard work, and uplift. He went from being an underdog in rap to the defining artist of his generation and he did so while bringing others along and generally loving his fans. That’s the Drake I choose to focus on and admire.

In the end, you don’t have to like the Stake deal , but let’s give Drake his due as an artist and person. He’s not some class warlord; he’s a man who, like all of us, is navigating the intersection of personal interest and responsibility. And given his track record, I firmly believe Drake has earned the benefit of the doubt that his intentions were never to harm his fans. The conversation about gambling and influence is valid – but it can be had without hyperbolic takedowns of a man who has proven, time and again, to be more than the worst thing he’s ever done.

Tl;dr: Drake is an influential, generational talent with a mostly positive legacy – not a greedy supervillain. Research shows that his gambling promotion is not apocalyptic in any shape or form. Let’s critique his choices without losing sight of his contributions.
