The part of a song featuring (or principally by) Drake where the high frequency content of the music is removed or filtered and typically a pad synth is added and Drake breaks into his singing voice. If the song uses a drumbreak or otherwise "real sounding" drums for the other sections of the song, then those will be replaced by filtered drum machine sounds during the Drakedown. This often sudden change in the music allows Drake to sing in his typical style and scale without clashing with the rest of the beat, which otherwise may not be appropriate for the Drake Voice. The Drakedown can be the bridge or the chorus.
Drakedowns are sometimes added to songs that previously did not have them (or Drake). This happens when a song becomes somewhat popular but isn't appropriate for top 40 radio play because it does not have Drake on it. The Drakedown reached the pinnacle of its popularity in 2010/2011. The future of the Drakedown in popular music is uncertain.
churchhurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.
This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
