You know, if she likes the way that you walk it down,
then you might as well.
Just walk it down, walk it down, walk it down.
Because today, ladies and gentlemen,
we're getting into one of my greatest inspirations in content creation,
not only because of the fact that RDC world is just a very positive and
impactful influence on content creators such as myself.
probably a lot of other content creators that look like me, but also for their impact and influence
on the merger of anime community and the black community, because once upon the time,
it was not deemed cool to talk about your love for anime, but I think what RDC World did for the
overall perception of showcasing how you could watch anime and still find people who watch anime like you
and not seem like you're just the nerdiest of the nerds right which is nothing wrong with being
a nerd but the whole public perception of watching anime was not in the most positive light let's just
put it like that and rdc really bridge that gap to make it more okay for you to express yourself
in that manner so today i wanted to because i cover gaming and music right notorious mass effect
gaming with my favorite franchise of all time as far as Mass Effect.
And then of course with hip hop, notorious BIG being so influential on just my
fulfillment as far as the hip hop genre. I think this falls in line with it as
Walk It Down is a new single by Afion Harris, which of course goes by F from RDC World,
which if you don't know as a co-founder along with Mark Phillips, because he handles a lot of
the directing the editing visual effects a lot of what happens behind the scenes as far as camera
work in editing i believe af is the one that majority uh well majority at the time handles that type of
uh workload for r dc so a lot of people don't know about af because he's really behind the scenes he's
not wanting to be the public figure as far as the main i'm not going to say mascot but as far as
as the main figure had for rdc really that's mark phillips everybody knows that mark phillips is usually
the one to be the leader of the group of rdc but they all bring their attributes to the group which is why
rdc is one of the greatest content creator groups of all time if not the greatest content creator group
so as you can tell this is something that brings me a lot of joy just to be able to cover one of the rdc
members in the fashion that still stays in line with my notorious math
Pacific podcast. So with that being said,
AF has released a new track called Walk It Down Out Now on All DSPs.
Now I'm going to play the visualizer. Hopefully, you know, I usually don't play music at all,
but I do not believe that I would get copyrighted for this. So hopefully that stays the case
because that's why I don't play music at all because I don't like to
even gamble with that type of possibility. But as far as this,
track specifically being under real dreams change the world i'm pretty sure i could cover this and not
get copywritten so with that being said a new track walk it down and let me tell you this track is phenomenal
i love the rapping i love the background vocals which we're about to get into in a second i mean
if we're talking about negro spirituals this man embody the ultimate negro spiritual at the beginning
of this track because well let me just play right quick so basically
this is the start of the video, right?
All right.
So that is what I mean by the overall premise of the Negro spiritual,
just being embodied by F as this type of use of background adlips
reminds me of this track right here.
I'm not trying to be funny.
I do believe that this just showcases his old soul and all intents of purposes,
because this is what it reminds me of.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
This reminds me of
to the point where I'm thinking to myself,
how old is AF?
I'm not trying to be disrespectful.
Okay.
So basically,
I'm just like,
that is phenomenal.
I actually enjoy this part of the track
because it showcases something
that's not commonly used in rap
as far as just not taking yourself too serious
to be able to embody this type of Negro spiritual energy,
which is what these type of background vocals
really remind me of
as when this,
when the track actually starts, this ends up being more of like a sample loop in the back of the song.
So I really enjoy that type of content creation as far as him putting layers upon layers on this track.
Because it's one minute and 54 seconds.
So it's definitely a quick listen.
And of course, if you enjoy it, you're a replay like I did.
I mean, I literally added it to my playlist.
I really enjoyed this track.
So something else I was going to get into.
Okay.
So yeah.
So let's get back into the track.
and basically I'm just going to be breaking down the track and enjoying the overall not taking yourself serious while also delivering some phenomenal bars as far as throughout the track.
So you kind of like how she like the way I walk it down.
So you kind of see what I'm talking about as far as it playing as a sample when the track actually starts, which is why I love this implementation.
because it's like, you don't see this too often.
I mean, this is really some old school type of ad libs
as far as just enjoying yourself in a music creation process
and then realize I'm like, hey,
I'm just going to loop this and put it in the back of the track
while it also uplifts what I'm actually saying
in the walk-it-down chorus, right?
So, anyways, let's keep going.
I don't know with it.
Out in L.A., but I'm a co-town nigga.
So I got to pull up with four-five switches.
All the green got me feeling pop, pop.
Now that's a bar.
Ain't a lot.
Oh, the green got me feeling like I'm pop-paw with the spinach,
but we have to get into that bar before.
The bar that preference this.
How many switches he said he had?
Not one.
Not two.
Hold up.
Let me rewind this right quick.
I don't think y'all really catching what he's saying right here.
Not one.
Not two.
Not three.
Before five of them, switches.
Now, I don't know what switches do
because I'm not trying to be flat.
But all I got to say is,
the bar before that, he was talking about, you know, being in L.A.
And now he's talking about switches.
I'm like, hold up now.
Is this man Kendrick?
Whole time they made a whole skit about Kendrick
recording GNX,
and they got a mini Kendrick and they camp.
We may have to have some type of,
sit down with AF and be like, hey man, we can't be talking like this.
RDC supposed to be family friendly.
Isn't that they say in their streams?
Obviously, it's a PG podcast, so I can't say the other part, but they say family,
something else friendly, right?
You know, just to play off the fact that they are very, uh, they use a lot of expletives.
Let's just put it like that.
So, you know, four or five switches.
How many switches you need, my brother?
Anyways, let's get back into it.
I'm not going to the club with 8-9 niggas a-yo,
but I know we're pulling out with fine bitches.
And you know what-n't- I'm not going to keep pausing it,
but the A-Yo was very timely place because I was going to say it.
Pulling up to a club with 8-9, you know, a PG podcast,
8-9 of your homies, let's just put it like that.
Could be interpreted, you know, a lot of different ways,
especially in 2024, but, you know, a certain somebody using a lot of lotion.
But, you know, as far as this use in the A-Yo at the end,
you can realize that, you know, he's just pulling up
his homies. That's all it is. Ain't nothing too crazy.
You know, no Johnson
and Johnson was abused in
this experience with his eight or nine homies,
right? Anyways, let's keep playing. Let's continue.
I don't care what
niggins say when I'm rolling to the bank.
And I don't give a fuck if you don't relate.
I've been knocking out of three and I'm back up
at eight. I got to get it like I don't
know how to wait. And your girl crimbled
been the only thing I hate.
That's what it takes to be a great.
I do love the overall
depiction of this
video because as far as the green screen use, you could definitely tell us a green screen,
but as far as the different angles and stuff that he's using, I think it's very unique as far as
what he's trying to get across because he does so much camera work for RDC is only right
that it bleeds into his musical process, especially this visual or this visualizer,
because we're looking for, you know, some top-notch videography from AFF because he literally
videos or he captures everything for RDC.
So I think he did a great drive with this video
And here called that sample.
That Negro spiritual, man, gets you every time.
Yeah, that's fire.
I ain't gonna lie.
That is very fire.
I enjoy this track thoroughly.
My favorite line is definitely to pop out with the spinach.
I like that one.
The Cranbulet line, I think that's what he said.
He said something about.
Let me see.
I'm out of three.
Then I'm back up being great.
Why I wait?
I ain't walking bitch like a hockey player.
And if I ain't got a strike, then you know that whole it's fair.
Nigger.
She liked the way I gotta get it like I don't know how to wait.
And your girl crimbled Abe and the only thing I hate.
Yeah, that part, that part right there, he was flowing.
I liked it.
I like that.
I like that was more of a standout as far as the entire verse.
But as far as the track, I really enjoy the way that he added layers to it as far as
Negro spiritual, you know, at the beginning.
You know, he was really embracing his inner old man on that.
I ain't gonna lie.
That was a standout.
But as far as the bars, surprise me how well he was flowing because he's a rapper.
and usually when you're a content creator
sometimes the rapping part suffers a little bit
but as far as his execution of the bars
sounded like a rapper to me
you know what I mean? It was fire
it was overall fire
it's basically all half of the track
I mean I just wanted to cover it
you know because I feel like it fell in line
with what I cover on the everyday basis
as far as giving you insights on the gaming and music industry
so with that being said
there's this underground rapper
time for the shameless plus
because his rapper needs help.
If you're listening, if you're watching,
let me just tell you something, man.
This man is struggling, right?
This rapper's struggling.
He needs help.
And I ain't going to lie to you.
He could use a handout, right?
You know how Drake said people asking for handouts?
And he only has two?
Well, guess what?
I'm going to need one of them.
Pause, no ditty.
But so this underground rapper right here,
see, even LeBron James commenting on it,
you already know he don't know none of the words.
I don't even know why he commented on this,
but there's a particular track
that he put out title Big Dog, right?
Very unfortunate situation for this rapper.
He's talking about money he doesn't have, right?
So as far as a handout, you know,
it would just be greatly appreciated
if you ever gave him a feature.
So let's just listen to what you would have to work with
as far as this atrocity.
Let's get into it right now.
Dollars on dollars I stack to this
hours are working and working.
I'm going insane.
Just driving my kid.
All right.
All right, first off.
all of these dollars and dollars
he's struggling
you know
pennies on pennies is what he should have said
but we're just going to let him slide
all of this work bring food on my plate
I'm a big dog because I carry my weight
hundred of thousands off what I create
100,000 dollars self my talent
I'm like yeah
see what I'm talking about
see these type of underground rappers
and that's basically it we're just going to take that away
but I just wanted you to see that
because you know he just needs your help
my brother like he he he he
He said $100,000.
What else?
What do you say?
Hershey's trying to come and show up and dollars.
Self my talent.
Big dog because I carry my weight.
100 of thousands off what I create.
100,000 dollars self my talent.
I'm like, yeah.
Now, I'm not going to lie to you.
Hold on, I need full screen for this.
I'm not going to lie to you.
What is this man doing to think he has $100,000?
Like, he's acting like he has some type of platform where people come week after
week, month after month, right?
That's just not the case.
And as far as the money that he said he's generating, like, well, he think he's making podcast to money?
Like, obviously he's a rapper.
He is struggling rapper.
So, you know, that's what I just wanted to say, you know, he's a very, he's in a very unfortunate situation.
He would love a feature.
I ain't going to lie to you.
So with that being said, AF from RDC World, the track, Walk It Down, is now out on all DSPs.
Of course, you already know RDC.
I mean, Mark, Desmond, as far as.
far as Leland, who's, who's, um, Ippy. It's like, this turned into a pop quiz. Name all the
RDC members right now. I just play. I don't know why I put myself on the spot like that,
but you already know. Um, who did I miss? Dylan, Ben, I don't think I, I may have missed somebody.
I'm sorry, it wasn't on purpose, but I just put myself on the spot like that. But anyways,
basically what I'm saying is this is segment for AF and his track, walk it down. Please support it,
because this track is phenomenal.
Like if it wasn't good,
I probably just wouldn't have talked about it.
