Drain him of his energy? A series of haiku poems about Drake and Hip Hop’s view of Modern Masculinity
by Dan Taylor


Drake the brotha who
Challenging culture’s toxic
Masculinity

Pissing off bigots
Gangster Homophobia
Old School Tough Guy Shit

Still gettin his own
Still from the suburbs/on TV
Oh, Canada, eh?

Maybe not too hard
Fucking cold in Toronto
Maple Leaf Legend

Got some enemies
Ice Cube was from the suburbs
Talkin Fuck Police

Not a homophobe
Like some others in the game
Tryina livin right

Beefing with Meek Mill
Drain him of his energy?
Folks tryin that shit.

How do you insult?
A dude without street credibility
Not lying about shit

Prayed for them haters
Prayed for their views on manhood
Worry about yer own

Cheesin all the time
Dustin' them expensive jeans
New baller status
