“National Treasures” from Iceman
“National Treasures,” Drake’s most passionate track on ICEMAN, is a three-minute attempt of self preservation. Two years since his very public feud with Kendrick Lamar, there’s clearly been a lot weighing on his mind. But humiliation, allegations, lawsuits, a multi-Grammy-winning diss track, and a Super Bowl performance aren’t enough to hold the Canadian rapper back from speaking his piece.
For Drake, the dust hasn’t really settled since then; mainly, he spits about the critics and his inner circle switching up on him (“None of you pussies is actin’ the same.”) Despite it all, the fight isn’t over until he says it is. And in the meantime, he’s doing what he does best: showing out for his city and flexing his ice and racks on the ‘gram (“My mind on the money, I’m rackin’ my brain). But I can’t really take Drake’s wellness check seriously when he’s closing out with “Ironic ’cause the Iceman was a nice man, now I’m hot and cold.” Aubrey, what’s going on here? —India Roby
