In this episode of Unpacked, I dive deep into the growing intersection between Drake's fanbase, red-pill culture, and modern politics. Following the White House's recent use of Drake's "Iceman" album promos, I analyze the broader implications of his silence and his ongoing associations with "manosphere" creators like Adin Ross.
โReflecting on a recent New Old Heads episode 486 segment, I break down how hip-hop's massive mainstream expansion has brought in demographics disconnected from the culture's original ideological roots, the history of co-opted symbols, and why it's more important than ever for artists to stand on their platform.

BDTB is a Hip Hop music and culture amplifier. Starting out as a Hip Hop blog sharing dope Hip Hop-related music from 2009-2016, with over 12,000 posts amplifying Hip Hop music and artists, the blog then switched platforms to focus on music playlisting and music and news uploads on YouTube (our Turn Off Your Radio playlist started in 2013 and is still active). We then launched a weekly Hip Hop culture podcast called the New Old Heads in 2016 with a focus on Hip Hop deep dives and news. BDTB has actively supported and collaborated with many creators in the Hip Hop space, been very active in boosting the Indianapolis Hip Hop and beat scene, conducted multiple interviews with Hip Hop voices and artists, and continued to curate impactful and important Hip Hop media.
