Drake the type of nigga who likes cupcakes with no frosting because he thinks the cupcake is better without makeup.

This was my initiation to the “X the type” meme Twitter accounts which are best read while imagining that they are a conversation between two far-too-high friends making fun of a third friend and laughing at their own jokes. However, this was before I knew that the ‘the type’ thing, was actually a thing, and not just another way at poking fun at Aubrey Graham‘s penchant for industrial strength emotionality.
Today I found that this effective way of bullying famous people was being applied to Kanye West, my favourite person to both throw shade on and defend. Flick through the Twitter posts above for the best way to poke fun at the type of guy who would believe Kenya is a typo of his own name.
