Starting point is 00:00:03 Now you know times are hard when producers are out here licensing beats to multiple artists and A-list artists to use for the album. Because what in the world is happening when two A-list artists, Drake and Don Tolliver, is using the same sample? I don't know if this is for all the dogs or Hardstone Psycho because at this point, I'm, confused. Of course, Don Tolliver is one of those type of musicians that has his own lane, unique voice. So, oh, correction. Headstone Psycho, my fault. That's also released in June 14th, but we'll get back to that. I don't know what it is that everybody is using certain samples over and over, but maybe the producers is just like, I got to eat. I mean, the BBL Drizzi was sample by Metro and Drake over DSPs so now multiple people have the license for their beat so I was under
Starting point is 00:01:10 the impression that when a producer sold a beat that meant that you bought the rights to that so nobody else could use it now when it comes to samples obviously is a little different so I'm not going to harp on that fact too much it's just interesting that just a year ago we heard this same sample used on a popular album and once again we're seeing that a was seeing that with Don Tolliver, which I just don't think he needs that. So Don Tolliver had a huge hand in Travis Scott's overall perception, which is why he's under Cactus Jack, because if you don't know, that's Travis Scott's label. So he's going to have a lot of support from Travis when it comes to music consumption.
Starting point is 00:01:54 But creatively, I would say Don't Oliver was equivalent to the little Yachty, equivalent to how Lodi Yadi was to Drake creatively. I think that's how Don Tolliver is. But the difference is when he actually creates his own music, it actually sounds well. You know, like the advice he gives to Travis Scott is something he can actually use for himself
Starting point is 00:02:18 and put out something that sounds great sonically. So I think when it comes to global charts, Don Tolliver impacts in a way that not a lot of people understand. as just a year ago, he was on the top 10 biggest debuts for, or debuts by hip hop albums on the Spotify Global Daily Charts and number seven with 7.9 million. And his peers, as far as Jack Harlow, Tyler, the creator Tripu Red N.F. Y, and August D. I think that's how you say his name, were the only ones above him. So he puts up numbers respectively.
Starting point is 00:03:00 I'm not going to say he's falling off because of the following information. This track banded that he had as a single is currently off the charts. I mean, obviously it says right now on Billboard that is number 86 been on the charts for about 14 weeks. So definitely had his time in the limelight as far as impacting the masses and definitely peaked at number 38. So it has some level of success. But it's no longer on the charts, which makes perfect sense that this. track is coming out now because this is the next track that he probably wants to promote before his album headstone cycle comes out June 14th so with that being said I think the biggest thing that I wanted
Starting point is 00:03:44 to focus on was just the numbers don't Oliver's album coming out June 14th his core audience basically marking their calendars for this album to come out a lot of imagery as far as the cactus Jack, you know, Atlantic ties, a lot of imagery when it comes into the motorcycle gang type of, well, I'm not going to say gang, but basically riding in leathers with a motorcycle and club flag. We're going to call that club. So, this track, now to get to the main point of the segment, Attitude featuring the one and only, Charlie Wilson, like, how in the world do you pull that off? and cash cobain which we're going to get to cash cobane in the second car i think that's one of the
Starting point is 00:04:29 tracks i don't know if somebody else or it was uh cobane but let me see i think it was uh i think it was cash cobane let me see yeah cash cobane he uh we're going to get to him in the second and some of the things he pulled off with germane as far as just delivering another piece of evidence to why Jermaine is just one of the most overrated rappers in hip-hop. But let's just focus on good music, right? So this specific track, attitude with Don Tolliver and Charlie Wilson is fired. I enjoy it. I like the samples.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I believe it's beautiful by Snoop Dog that he's sampling, which that in itself, you sample Snoop Dog, obviously going to get some type of nostalgic factor. I could see this track having some type of, impact globally, not just in the U.S., because a lot of people don't understand the amount of impact that he has globally. Like, people will say because of his relationship with Cali Uchus, that's a factor and his success overseas. But I personally like to say that he is very talented, and that just transcends, um, countries. So anyways, as far as, um, this specific track,
Starting point is 00:05:53 I can see it doing numbers on rhythmic airplays and the R&B and hip hop songs, like just multiple different, multiple charts. And I could see that this album, Hardstone's Psycho coming out, that missed, I said the name wrong again, Headstone Psycho, my fault, coming out and basically being one of those type of album albums where a lot of people understand the creativity that went into it and appreciated for that. mere fat as the New York drill movement highlighted in this track I don't think will be shown throughout the entire body of work because Don Tolliver's has a lot of pockets that he can get into which is why I believe he's under Cactus Jack because I believe that Travis Scott uses a lot of his creative vision and his own work so positively I might add because he also you know promotes Don Tolliver when it comes time
Starting point is 00:06:51 for him to put out his music but you can't say for every artist you know i'm a big fan of the goat but one thing you can say and i couldn't say anything about it is that drake's uh ovo camp as far as standouts is is looking like uh there are none and that's a detriment to his legacy because if you can't really uplift somebody under your own label why do you have a label in the first place so anyways with that being said click my link to my bio let me know one of my social media is what do y'all think about this track attitude by Don Tolliver, Charlie Wilson, and Cash Cobain, and when the album eventually comes out, Headstone Psycho, June 14th, will you be giving it a listen?
