"Drake is pop to me," he said. "In a sense, like, if I was in Target in Houston and I heard a Drake song it feels like it's compatible with shopping. Or as you know, shopping with an edge, in certain instances ... It's likeable ... So many products. Look at all these SKUs. I love this mall. This is great. The new Drake? Do you hear it?"
He then suggests that the popularity of Drake portends to the fall of the American empire.
Is this fair?
