Yasiin Bey, a.k.a Mos Def, is one of the most famous rappers in the ‘90s. His career sky-rocketed in 1997 with the release of his first single, Universal Magnetic. In recent years, Drake has secured a top spot in the hip-hop industry. However, Yasiin seems to disagree with this. Despite Drake's popularity and chart-topping success, the 50-year-old rapper has claimed the God's Plan hitmaker's music is not “real hip-hop.”
During his appearance on a recent episode of The Cutting Room Floor podcast, Yasiin spoke at length about Drake's music not qualifying as hip-hop. However, before sharing his opinion, Yasiin hesitated at first when podcaster Omondi asked, “Is Drake hip-hop?” To this, he remarked, “Why you doing this to me?”
The Do It Now rapper continued, “In the sense, like, if I was in Target in Houston and I heard a Drake song... It feels like a lot of his music is compatible with shopping. Or, you know, shopping with an edge in certain instances.”
He went on to call Drake's music “likeable” as he gave a side-eye to the podcaster. Yasiin then chuckled and sarcastically added, “So many products! So many SKUS! Look at all these SKUs!” “I love this mall. Look at this place! I mean, look at this place! They have everything! Everything's here. Oh, this is great. This is the new Drake, you hear it? It's great.”
Proposing the idea that Drake's fame won't last for long, Yasiin remarked, “What happens when this thing collapses? What happens when the columns start buckling? Are we not in some early stage of that at this present hour? Are we seeing the collapse of an empire?”

Taylor Swift didn’t react to Jo Koy’s Golden Globes joke about her
Unbothered” appears to have been the word to best describe Taylor Swift when host Jo Koy mentioned her in a joke at Sunday’s Golden Globes.
Koy couldn’t resist poking fun at the mania surrounding Swift’s attendance at NFL games in support of her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.
The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL?” Koy said. “At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.”
The camera person understood the assignment and panned to the superstar singer in the ballroom for her reaction.
Swift looked nonplussed and took a sip of her drink.
There’s been some controversy about how much the league has leaned into Swift and her fame to help promote their games.
She talked about it in her Time Person of the Year interview.
“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,” she said. “There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once. I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
