The what for.

Drake has flipped two rap paradigms in his last two videos, giving money away in God’s Plan and offering the limelight to the self-made success of strong, glamorous women in Nice For What. Cynics are frustrated that the 6-god is directly reaping the benefits of his new-age activism by appropriating or piggy-backing to improve his capital (social and otherwise). I hope we are moving towards a world where we can be choosier about who we applaud for promoting equality. For now, the positivity he’s offering outweighs the complication surrounding his methods.

The straw.

What incensed the Spanish Federation to banish their coach a few days before their World Cup opener against Portugal? Principle. Call it a power trip, but the FA president’s so-called “forced” decision is a refreshing one given the frequency with which shady behavior is tolerated in the name of prospective success. Expect this last-minute sacking to hurt their chances, but don’t discount a flowing side like Spain’s ability to construct beauty from chaos.
