Starting point is 00:00:03 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
Starting point is 00:00:41 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.
Starting point is 00:01:35 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
Starting point is 00:02:30 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,
Starting point is 00:03:13 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
Starting point is 00:04:02 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.
Starting point is 00:04:38 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,
Starting point is 00:04:56 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
Starting point is 00:05:14 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.
Starting point is 00:05:39 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.
Starting point is 00:06:27 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.
Starting point is 00:06:57 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.
Starting point is 00:07:13 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.
Starting point is 00:07:32 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.
Starting point is 00:07:50 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?
Starting point is 00:08:13 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,
Starting point is 00:08:36 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,
Starting point is 00:09:00 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.
Starting point is 00:09:17 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
Starting point is 00:09:32 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.
Starting point is 00:10:34 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.
Starting point is 00:10:57 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.
Starting point is 00:11:07 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.
Starting point is 00:11:26 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
Starting point is 00:11:49 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
Starting point is 00:12:03 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.
Starting point is 00:12:16 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,
Starting point is 00:12:32 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,
Starting point is 00:12:49 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.
Starting point is 00:13:07 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
Starting point is 00:13:20 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
Starting point is 00:13:36 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.
Starting point is 00:13:47 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?
Starting point is 00:14:06 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.
Starting point is 00:14:30 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.

Starting point is 00:15:08 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.
