Analytic Dreamz: Notorious Mass Effect - "21 SAVAGE 'WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS' EXPECTED TO SELL 53K FIRST WEEK, HIS PREVIOUS ALBUM DEBUTED WITH 133K SALES"

Starting point is 00:00:03 Isn't it ironic that Shia, Abraham, Joseph can't compete in the holiday season? But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? As, you know, the more I cover the entire music industry, I come to realize, as a musician, why in the world, would you try to compete with iconic Christmas anthems in the month of December? You guys.

Starting point is 00:00:29 See, that's the problem. But safe to say, that is exactly what Abraham, decided to do so with that being said his future projections for his album what happened to the streets imagine telling somebody to play that while you're in the Christmas spirit anyways the midweek projections for what happened to the streets is set to debut at number seven with 53 units first week but then you know what I'm saying look at the state of hip-hop like what's going to put in perspective ladies and gentlemen safe to say his

Starting point is 00:01:03 last album his previous album american dream let me go to the release date of that so what happened to the streets obviously just released uh this month in the year of 2025 american dream just released last year as far as specifically january 12th 2024 so it wasn't that much time between american dream and what happened to the streets and in that short amount of time he went from having 133 000 units just last year to 53,000. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on?

Starting point is 00:01:38 So this is very surprising, not only to 21 Savage fans, but also to me in general, but then I come to realize, American Dream was released in January. Safe to say, I do believe when you come to the Christmas season and try to compete, that's one of the worst things you could do as a musician. Now that I've done more research, I have no idea.

Starting point is 00:01:59 why in the world you will want to compete with Christmas tracks in December. So I'm not mad at it coming in at number seven, but 53,000 is the number I'm looking at, and I'm saying it to myself, You guys, see, that's the problem. And obviously, Shia Abraham Joseph also thought it was a problem, as he probably saw all the PR coming as of yesterday about him seemingly flopping compared to his last album. And he got to tweeting, ladies and gentlemen.

Starting point is 00:02:29 I know that ain't who I think I know Abraham the biggest gangster in the industry started getting the tweeting man I know that it was like time for the clout Olympics because guess what we got to get these numbers up so Abraham ladies and gentlemen took it upon himself to go to Twitter and try to um pair the relationship of a particular duo well two duos actually as the first duo ladies and gentlemen gun and young thug as you can see right here analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audience you um 21 savi said gunna and young thug y'all fix that stuff y'all love each other pause you knew gunna wasn't no gangster when he told the first time and we swept it under the rug for you you know he wasn't trying to leave you to hang man forget the streets we ain't get stuff but trauma from that stuff that's how you know

Starting point is 00:03:25 it's a pg podcast ladies and jimmer but then you know what i'm saying i was like damn look at the state of hip-hop like What's going on? But no, Abraham wasn't finished. Because that was a blasphemous statement in itself. Because what you mean y'all swept under rug when he told the first time? I thought, wait, hold street codes. The lawn's going off. Like, you know, I don't have a siren on my soundboard, but the sirens are going off.

Starting point is 00:03:45 Like, what you mean? You're from the streets and you let somebody snitch and you let it slide because you cool with young thug. I thought, you know, the illogical street culture will tell you that you're supposed to stand on it, even if it means you lose millions of dollars just because, is street code and ethics, right? The streets have forever made zero sense to me as a civilian. And it's safe to say the hypocrisy is at an all-time high because you're coming at it from a standpoint of,

Starting point is 00:04:12 oh, this is the street code. So forget Gunner. Forget making millions of dollars from somebody who came out what F you mean right after he was released. Forget making millions of dollars with that particular gentleman that currently has one of the most successful hip-hop projects of 2025 while y'all are flopping. you all saying so anyways um yeah of course 21 savage is going to come out and pull the clout

Starting point is 00:04:34 olympics to try to get those two brothers in general uh together but this one this one definitely threw me off i was like what in the world he definitely trying to get the number one for how much clout can you garner through tweets as trying to get young thug and gunna wasn't enough for abraham right he came back and he must have been feeling jolly ultimately 21 savage the only way to explain this is to say you was in the Christmas spirit so you felt like giving some motivation as 21 Savage said quavo offset y'all tell the world that I put you in the group text huh one the one natural you guys see that's the problem why 21 Savage be talking like these ain't grown man maybe I'm tripping anyways I put y'all in the group text and told you

Starting point is 00:05:23 all to squash it before he even got far if y'all was still together y'all would be be unstoppable. And to that, I will say, when it comes to 21 Savage, he does seem like to play devil's advocate and to keep it eight more than 92. I do believe Abraham as one of the more peacemaker figures we have in hip-hop. So he's one of the few individuals I could see saying something like this. Metro could probably, I don't know. I think Metro definitely chose a side.

Starting point is 00:05:53 Because if you remember, when Gunna came out, I believe Turbo, and I forget who else, but turbo is one of the only producers that will work with Gunna because they thought Gunna was just going to come out and just flop similar to how Twinnew Savage is doing right now. All right, my fault. Basically, Gunna came out and just was swinging for the moon, right? F you mean, did wonders for his career. No producers besides Turbo as far as the recognizable ones

Starting point is 00:06:21 really stood on Gunna's side. So it was really split. So the opposite and then Quavel one really just threw me off. But anyways, back to what I'm saying. So 21 Savage basically is claiming that he's the realest person in this game. And he was even responding to these replies of trying to get Cuevo, offset, and Young Thun and Gunner together. As he said, last year, I was the realest person for trying to stop Thug from exposing Gunna.

Starting point is 00:06:46 Now, I'm fake. Y'all tripping. I know that ain't who I think it is. And this last reply, I ain't going to lie. This kind of confused me. I don't know who in the world he's talking about. he said QCP I know he's not talking about P from QC

Starting point is 00:07:01 I just know I just know he ain't talking about I know that ain't who I think it is I know he ain't talking about QC but if he is Abraham said to the to one of the greatest executives of all time in hip hop history Abraham said to his face

Starting point is 00:07:18 oh well basically let me quote Abraham so he said I told you to your face talking about P from QC you did wrong at the party but I never bash you on the internet because it would have made the city look bad because you was putting all the young people and that would have messed the money up now who in the world is he talking about is he talking about p from qc i would hold up i don't like scrolling uh because you never know what you're

Starting point is 00:07:44 going to see on this timeline somebody said he's talking about queen's child project see y'all name jesus uh let me see who's he actually talking about somebody think he's talking about the city of london it's just jokes under here i ain't okay to you bro somebody just Why'd he act? Okay. Somebody said, well, said, bro. He definitely trolling. Somebody said, what is going on off topic?

Starting point is 00:08:07 Okay, so nobody knows who he's talking about. I think he's talking about P from QC, because if you remember, if you really look at it, he's one of the only people who could put Quayvon offset together and Little Baby and Gunna together because Little Baby signed it to P from QC. Reminder, P from QC has Little Baby. He has Yadi. He had the City Girls, which don't forget how big. the city girls movement was in the prime via lodi riding act up which to the point where even gtcha 6

Starting point is 00:08:35 has a rendition of city girls in the upcoming game just to let you know how impactful city girls were at one point in time and then of course you have um of course amigos but when you really look at the amount of money that little baby has made and they also look and they also see how p from qc has yadi uh megos city girls this is actually kind of crazy i'm probably leaving out some people. But you get the point. P from QC. He's not in the Birdman's stature, because Birdman has Wayne, Drake, Nikki, Jay-Z has Kanye, Rihanna, and then I think that's it. But, you know, that's still a strong too. But, you know, in general, P from QC is up there. He's not in the stature of Birdman and Jay-Z, but he's up there. So anyways, Abraham coming

Starting point is 00:09:22 at him like this, it's kind of crazy if he is talking about him. But with that being said, this tweet right here is definitely going to ring off the most. I mean, even if you look at the impressions right now. I mean, the closest to that is 340, 350,000, which him, you know, basically replying saying, y'all say I was the realest person. Now y'all sound fake. He's basically replying to this one right here that almost has 500,000 impressions. So you can already tell this one's going to be the tweet that goes up. Um, and 21 Savage said, no, no, 21 Savage saying that we forgave him when he snitched the first time. My brother, what are you doing?

Starting point is 00:09:56 Who do need do? Like, ladies and gentlemen. Exhibit A. Is this man not snitching? Who do de do? And we beat these folks? We beat them. We go forward. Gunna thinking to himself.

Starting point is 00:10:10 I know that's not my brother. Shea being Abraham Joseph talking about when he told the first time. Like, hold on now. You guys. See, that's the problem. So y'all already covered up gunna being the snitch. And then now you lost millions of dollars because he snitched publicly. I think that's what it is.

Starting point is 00:10:31 street codes are a myth The ultimate morals Or the morale you're supposed to hold as a gangster Completely makes no sense Right When civilians call it out They say Don't listen to the civilian

Starting point is 00:10:46 Because he's not from the streets But usually When you look at it from a bird's eye view Which is what us civilians are doing For people in the streets You see things a lot clearer than the people who are actively in the streets we're letting them know what y'all are doing is asinine and illogical what they are saying is we're just a product of our environment which both two things could be true so please acknowledge the illogical part because ladies and gentlemen this makes no sense because of street code you lost millions of dollars and let one of the hottest rappers in the game out of your grasp because of course he quote unquote toad now that's all really wanted to talk about and also i wanted to highlight how you know

Starting point is 00:11:33 Shia Ben, Abraham Joseph is about to flop with his album. I don't really hate 21 Savage. Obviously, he made one of the greatest albums in my favorite artist discography, which is Drake. I think Herloss is one of his greatest albums. I also think some sexy songs for you is one of his greatest albums. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because it's coming from a Drake fan, right? But some sexy songs for you, her loss didn't come out too long ago.

Starting point is 00:11:56 Some sexy songs for you. It was literally his last project. And those are towards the top of his discography. as far as quality, in my opinion. But anyways, why did I say that? Oh, yeah, because Abraham was a part of that album. So it's not like I just completely despised Abraham. It's just when he came out with his Big Bang's album,

Starting point is 00:12:16 or no, his interview, and literally contradicted everything he was seen at the beginning of the interview. I came to realize, like, hold up. I don't think this brother's too bright. You guys. See, that's the problem. And when you make a lot of money,

Starting point is 00:12:30 people look at you to have a certain idea. you in the game right and then you come to realize people like birdman people like p from qc people like jzy people like dr jay the executives in the background are really the geniuses that and the reason they are geniuses is because they have people like this have multi-million dollar careers and i'm not saying that 21 savage is like illiterate right but the negative PR coming from him is one of the worst examples I've ever seen on an artist who was looked at to be high intelligent maker or creator of the piece and hip hop completely have a 180 to the point where he's pulling these clout chasy type moves telling random hip hop duo to get back together

Starting point is 00:13:20 when you already know that he does not have the power to get them back together so what ultimately is he doing it for for clout because guess what his album his album what happened to the streets is about to sell 53,000 when his last one just last year did 133,000 in his first week so anyways with that being said click my link to my bio let me know one of my social media's what do you think about abraham uh what do you think about shah ben abraham joseph putting out his album what happened to the streets and do you think that this is the start of the end for 21 savage as far as his career going on a downward spiral or do you believe that at some point he can raise the engagement back up.
