Flight

Flight

An assortment.

Also the reason Drake has been so successful in rap beefs until now. Every jab he has released has come in tandem with a song that has nothing to do with the quarrel—I’m Upset joining the recent Duppy Freestyle, and Right Hand dropping with Charged Up and Back to Back. Drake understands the common trouble with most hip-hop altercations—unsubstantiated claims. By offering a lyrical tasting menu to his fans, Drake validates his age old argument, “I make hits, and you don’t” at the very same time he’s making it. Because he knows he can’t fight, Drake chooses flight. 

Flight

The governing mechanism of basketball.

The two most discussed players of a presidential term’s worth of Finals rematches employ flight in ways that define the strata in which they are placed. Steph asks the ball to fly for him, making him a master of basketball. But LeBron, he himself flies, mastering a larger category of which basketball is a mere subset—athletics.
