A guy named Robert Lopez wrote an open letter to Drake, DJ Khaled, and "the rap world" that's making the rounds on the internet, mostly due to his super strange, super detailed theory about the strategic radio censorship of Drake and DJ Khaled's "For Free." He starts off by talking about the need for artists' music to evolve with their fan bases, citing The Beatles, Madonna, and Beyoncé as successful examples—and New Kids On the Block as a not-so-successful one.

Although this sounds normal enough, it somehow leads Lopez into discussing how the radio edit of "For Free" gave him an idea to improve the song. The end of the line "You the only one I know could fit it all in her... man" is typically censored on normal radio broadcasts. Lopez writes that the silence caused his head to turn "fit it all in her... man" into " fit two dicks in your mouth." He proceeds to devote an entire paragraph to describing how this would be a better line because it represents "sexually active healthy females who know what they like."

By contrast, he seems to think that Drake's original line is too corny. "Drake bragging about his penis size is just so average and common, I expect more in 2016," he writes. "It’s time to branch out and find new ways of entertaining people through your lyrics, not relying on old stereotypes and tropes to ride the wave which will eventually crash." Somehow this is all connected to the career evolution of Beyoncé from "Single Ladies" to "Partition."

How he thinks rapping about two dicks in the mouth is a more nuanced and mature subject matter that would help Drake's music evolve like The Beatles is never really made clear, but he obviously feels passionately enough about it to write an entire article expressing this point.
