Google, which is in the middle of a campaign to get Apple to support the RCS platform, used the song to help its cause.

In the tweet, Google wrote, “The Android team thinks Drake’s new song “Texts Go Green” is a real banger. It refers to the phenomenon when an iPhone user gets blocked. Or tries to text someone who doesn’t have an iPhone. Either way, it’s pretty rough. If only some super-talented engineering team at Apple would fix this. Because this is a problem only Apple can fix. They just have to adopt RCS, actually. It would make texting more secure too. Just sayin’. Great track tho.”

      Even if I think it’s silly, it’s relevant to the community and people will be talking about it?

        You’re not wrong that people will talk about it, but can we reconsider whether or not it’s relevant? I mean, it’s a Drake song.

          Not the song, but the response from Google

          Talking about advertising strategies isn’t the best content, but it can determine how the market might change. If a company does a really good/bad ad campaign then that could be the reason for a shift in the market

        In the song, Drake raps about not answering someone’s phone call and says, “She call my number, leave her hangin’, she got dry cleaned. She got an Android, her messages is lime green.”

        There ya go. Content.

          Either go and put content out there yourself or stop bitching about people who are posting. Doing nothing and complaining just makes you the biggest ass

      I think Google’s reaction and reference to RCS are pretty noteworthy.

        That’s true, didn’t he make that song about cellphones being hotlines?

        Totally relevant to Android!
