Apparently few people commenting on this actually read the part where it says Drake isn't just partnering with Apple. There are a lot of well known entertainment industry execs and companies that want to work with him, including Netflix. Try clicking on the Hollywood Reporter link and reading that article as well.
You are witnessing the end of an error.
Most people don’t want to see anything by Drake or others from his muddy pond. Media people are clinging to a lame and dying paradigm. Wipe the slate completely, restart the culture from a fresh and populist point, or you will merely get a clique, cult, or crash rating.

Reads like a ton of ignorance from them
Came here for the Drake (rap) hate. Was not disappointed. Say what you want, but he is one of the most influential artists of this decade, and Apple is smart to partner with his brand.
Cool. More crap content to avoid.
I'm not sure Apple are understanding what "compelling" content is, or how to create it.

Remember when Apple made insanely great computers with software and updates that were insanely great as well? I miss those days.
Confusing comment here.
what era are you talking about?
and what is 'his muddy pond'?
"I'll tell you the problem with the power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it." lol The odds of Drake producing a hit tv series is so low, even if all he does is green light someone else's script, and especially if he acts in it. The only thing he could do successfully is some sort of reality show about his life. I'm a fan, I think he has great taste in music.
This is such a bad idea. Please don't promote it.
Huh? We are witnessing the end of a mistake?
So giving Drake carte blanche is the right thing to do?I'm going to assume Siri's dictation replaced era (what you meant) with error (which you made)
What's a muddy pond and what does the rest of this mean?

"Safe for the brand" is creating content that fits the "brand" guideliens and is approved.
It's not about "drake" it's about apple and the Brand. brand protection and reputation is about conservatism, it's how you built a brand , with trust.
A free for all is how you kill your brand ..... if they want the do whatever they want, create a separate company for the Beats boys and their mates.
not this sheep and nor will any of my friends. I'd rather wash my mouth out with soap.
This is a total waste of money but it gets a lot of press.
I will never understand why people say things like "Apple, go buy Netflix" "Apple, just buy Tesla" and so on... Why on earth would anyone want that? These companies are good at what they do, and all Apple can do is turn them into s***..
It’s not that he’s a rapper, rather he’s a crummy rapper. Sisqo could carry a tune better than this guy.
