Shia, Ben, Abraham, Joseph, I mean, my fault.
The British citizen, I mean, goodness gracious, come on now.
But then, you know what I'm saying?
I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop.
Like, what's going on?
I don't know why I keep getting this gentleman's name wrong.
But 21 Savage, that's what I meant.
21 Savage, come on, man.
You guys.
See, that's the problem.
Hey, Abraham, do not spend the block on me because I promise that there will be somewhere
at the park.
You know what I'm saying?
So with that being said, let's get into 21 Savage's,
announcement for a what an R&B album but then you know what I'm saying I was like
damn look at the state of hip hop like what's going on ladies and gentlemen when I looked at
this announcement I said to myself I know that ain't who I think it is when I looked at the
covers that he was doing the spoof of I said to myself I know that ain't who I think it is
now without further ado let me just let you all see this because this is straight comedy
analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio ladies
gentlemen what is this man doing but then you know what i'm saying i was like damn look at the state of hip hop
like what's going on you look at these covers and you think to yourself what has hip hop come to
i mean honestly sometimes i look at just the state of hip hop and i know a lot of people be going
through you know there's certain creative flows and stuff but 21 savage announcing an r&b album
i just don't like it man right what you say i just don't like that shit man oh don't now
go take care of your kids man nah bro this is my stream hold on what livingston come from come on
man anyways with that being said the main thing i was going to get to is of course this is all jokes
i actually can't wait to hear it because i do believe when future put out hendricks i think it was
hendricks off of his uh his back-to-back release albums because he put out future and then i think
he doubled back with hendricks yeah that's what was okay so june 30 of
2017 future Hendrix put out future which is just a self-titled future album and he put out
hendricks which was literally the title hendricks and that came out july 27 so back-to-back albums
and safe to say i think a lot of people enjoyed hendricks more than the future album which both were i
think was solid but hendricks i think because of he went because of him going out of the box
i think a lot more people respected that because it was not the best singing or rmb music you've ever heard
but it was pretty solid music R&B music coming from future Hendricks so now I look at 21 Savage
doing a spoof of all these different classic R&B albums I mean you got the miss education of
Lauren Hill you got confessions with usher and then I don't know what this one is what is this one
that may oh I'm never said to be a huge hip-hop I mean R&B fan what is this genuine the life album
so if you just want to see the original covers this is what looks like right here
So as far as the original cover, this is what he's doing the spoof of.
So if you just wanted to see what in the world he was to, oh, no, this is not the Genuine.
That's the DeAngelo Brown Sugar.
This is the Genuine album right here.
So this is the spoof.
These are the original cover arts that he was doing the spoof of.
But the main thing I was wanting to get at with Abraham is that this is very interesting because, of course, who in the world asked for an R&B album from 21 Savage?
But guess what?
We may actually end up enjoying this album.
Now, ain't that something?
Because the future Hendricks show is one thing is that when trap street rappers go to the R&B lane for some reason, sometimes it turns out fire.
But then, you know what I'm saying?
I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop.
Like, what's going on?
Sometimes you listen to the R&B album and you be thinking to yourself,
I know that ain't who I think it is.
The future Hendrix has put out a great R&B album?
I know that ain't who I think.
And the reason why I keep comparing 21 Savage to Future putting out Hendrix,
because I hold 21 Savage to that same stature and legacy as far as Atlanta rappers.
I think 21 Savage is one of the greatest Atlanta rappers that ever come through.
Now, I know I made the British joke.
Y'all know that he grew up or he grew up.
He was born in London, but technically he moved to the United States at age seven.
I was going to say something else, but that would have been snitching.
You know what I'm saying?
And we beat he fault.
Who do they do?
We beat them.
We go forward.
Let's just say the way he got to.
Okay, my fault.
who do anyways with that being said um getting back into 21 savage the main thing i was wanting to
say off of that was not only is the rmb album a a very distinct change as far as creativity and the flow
that he probably has going for his uh process for the album but i think him also putting this out
as a birthday concert in a themed event he's going to have people see
singing the hearts out.
And the main thing I was wanting to pull up because I don't know how I got this.
It's probably because I'm the best journalist in the world, right?
But I've really got live exclusive footage.
So hopefully Atlanta doesn't take this down.
Oh, Atlantic as far as the label that 21 Savage is under.
Is he on the Atlantic?
Let me make sure because, you know, these arches are stickler about who they're under.
So as far as his last album, because he's not on the charts currently in the year of 2025.
That's why I haven't been talking about him on the charts.
But he's a big dog, so I believe at some point he will be.
But as of, let me see.
So he put this out, 300 Entertainment.
No, that's Huncho.
Okay, let me see.
What was his first track?
Tony Wissavis, really hasn't been putting out a lot of music.
He's only been doing features.
Interesting.
He's, I don't think he's put out one track by himself.
Huh.
Yeah, he's been pretty quiet as far as his single releases.
He's been only doing features.
He has outfit with a little baby, G.
G.
with Central C, 30 Deep, with Baby Drill.
You get the point.
He's doing a lot of different features in 2025.
He doesn't have one single track by himself out in 2025.
Interesting.
So let me go to his album to see what label this man's under.
So American Dream was his last album, January 12th of 2024.
That ended up with that do, around 133,000 first week.
He's under Slotted Gang, LLC, under exclusive license to Epic Records, a division of Sony.
So he's not even under Atlantic.
He's under Epic Records of Division of Sony.
So I don't even know why I say Atlantic.
So that's why I'll fact check.
You know, we don't do fake news over here.
So the main thing I wanted to end off with was 21 Savage exclusive music for this upcoming R&B album.
And I want you to listen to this right here.
Baby, I don't know why you're wanting me so bad.
You said you love me, no one above me.
And I was all you had.
All right, well, there you have it.
I'm the best journalist in the world.
I ain't going to cap to you.
Like, when it comes to you.
exclusive music who would have thought that I would have had exclusive R&B music for its upcoming album that's coming out October 18th so that being said click my link to my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about 21 savage R&B album 90s to 2000s and will you be along along with me because I can't wait will you be having a sing along when October 18th comes around and 21 Savage a.k.a. Abraham Joseph releases
an R&B album.
