Starting point is 00:00:00 Now, why in the world would I be covering Travis? I'm off of all my fault. Aesap Rocky. That's probably why he's upset in the first place. Everybody always thinks that that man is Travis Scott, but that's besides the point. So we're not here today to talk about AesF Rocky. We're here to get into the legendary artist, Paiso Pluma,
Starting point is 00:00:18 as I believe is very important to touch on a lot of different cultures and the hip-hop community and just music in general, because the different cultures, the different cultures, the different communities such as the Latin community need certain highlights, I believe, so that people understand what type of impact they're having in the music field. Paisal Pluma has been running the charts
Starting point is 00:00:45 in the Latin charts and, of course, the U.S. charts. But the main reason I'm touching on this is because Paisal Pluma and ASAV Rocky were together in a recording studio. Now why does they even, Why is they even information, right? I think the way I wanted to take this segment is the epiphany that a lot of American artists are having. You see Jay Cole doing features with artists from BTS.
Starting point is 00:01:22 You see Lotto doing features with I think it's seven, the K-pop group, I believe. you see a lot of different collabs from Little Dirk collabing with a country artist I completely forgot his name I think he's like super huge or something so don't kill me I just forgot his name but basically what I'm saying is
Starting point is 00:01:43 the crossover from hip hop artists to other genres I think they're starting to notice that if you want to be on a level of a Taylor Swift a bad bunny who else a Drake you probably have to diversify the portfolio in a way that makes consumers and listeners
Starting point is 00:02:00 not look at you as a one-trick pony as we've seen with the baby as you've seen with little baby whenever you get that one-trick pony tag of you doing the same song over and over and over again a lot of fans start to label label you as somebody who who doesn't make good music because you're going to get to a point when they're going to get tired of it and anything you put out after that you're just going to call trash as you've seen with little baby keep in mind people will was comparing little baby musically and rapping ability wise to drake when he put out my turn which deserve deserved deservedly so i think a lot of people forget me as a drake fan or drake stand even i was uh kind of uh kind of uh kind of uh kind of catching up as far as the gap because
Starting point is 00:02:50 if you remember once the needs came out where a little about a little baby completely outwrap drake on that track i think it was more of an alley you from drake but still i can't make any i can't copy any please. All right. You listen to the track, a little baby just completely destroyed Drake, but that's besides the point.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Then we get to my turn that not only had, was it emotional scars or whatever? I forget what that song was called. But then, not only did he have that, but he also had the track, which I believe changed
Starting point is 00:03:22 the trajectory of his career in a good way called bigger than, I think it was called bigger than me. I believe it was called bigger than me. If you remember around that period of time, it was a Kendrick Lamar-esque type move because George Floyd was unfortunately killed by the police. And after that, a lot of riots was happening in the Black Lives Matter movement. Little Baby came out with a track called Bigger Than
Starting point is 00:03:48 Me. And that track was perfect from start to finish. I think that's one of the best hip-hop tracks ever created because I feel like timing is very important when putting out music in the way that little baby put out bigger than me in a situation where people could have easily just said he was pandering or he was just trying to get the buzz because if you remember uh killer mike was another rapper who was out in the fields like being like he wasn't rapping but he was in the field being like an activist for the black lives matter movement and here little baby is putting on music about this movement which he is black but of course you know how people are if there's a cash grab or way to market yourself in a good way, the marketing team is going to do it.
Starting point is 00:04:33 But the way that Little Baby related that situation to himself, I think a lot of people resonated towards what he was saying because they believed his story. So bigger than me, I feel like changed the trajectory for Little Baby to believing that he was, no, for fans to believe that Little Baby was one of, if not the best rapper in the game because that track was monumental and a reason why he even got nominated for a girl. Grammy for that track. I don't believe he won, but that's a whole other story. That's a story for another day. So anyways, reason I say that is because with the likes of a peso Pluma A's A.ab Rocky type collab, I think a lot of people need certain bigger than me type of moments to change
Starting point is 00:05:17 the trajectory of their career. Obviously, timing is important, which is why I'm bringing up this Paiso Pluma and A'sab Rocky collab, because I do not believe in any stretch of the imagination the A.S. Rocky is adding any type of sales to a Peso Pluma track. Peso does so many numbers by himself that he will be doing a humongous favor for Drake. It's kind of like if Drake did a feature for like some up-and-coming rapper, that's the type of help Pesopuma would be doing for A'sa Raki in his musical career currently. It may sound crazy to say, but when you look at Pesopuma on the billboard charts
Starting point is 00:05:59 and the Latin music charts. I mean, he runs the Latin, not runs, that's a little strong, but he's in the top 10, top five of the Latin music charts and then come over to America, and he's always in the top 50, top 25. So whenever he puts out music, people listen and a lot of people listen, which makes these artists like A.S.I. Rocky,
Starting point is 00:06:18 trying to collab with artists like Paiso, very interesting. I'm not going to say it's culture appropriation or trying to be a culture vulture, but it's very, very similar to what culture voters do when they see a certain culture starting to get a lot of shine and their respective spaces in the hip hop industry. So that's the only reason I wanted to touch on this.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Nothing too deep, I guess, but that's really why I wanted to cover this, because I think hip hop artists are starting to notice. The gap is closing between hip hop and other genres. So click my link to you in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Paiso, Pluma, A's at Rocky being in the studio together? And also, what do you think about different genres such as Latin music, Afro beats, closing the gap on hip-hop, and do you think they could actually surpass the popularity of hip-hop music?
