Ladies and gentlemen, it has happened once again.
An up and coming artist, he has officially one, two, three tracks on DSPs.
And the track that blew up came out December 15th, 2023.
You want to know when he started making music as far as DSPs are concerned, which is Spotify,
Apple, Amazon Music.
First track was June 27th,
2023.
First hit came in December 15th,
like I just said.
Third track that came out
was March 1st,
2024.
So this man turned around.
I don't know if he saw the streams,
wasn't streaming like the second act,
but now
there's a remix with the goat.
and let me tell you something it's his track now i looked it up this man four bats is literally
an independent artist i went to the bottom of the credits i was like surely somebody has picked
this up by now right some type of distribution deal to try to get it to the masses
it literally just says four bats and then to make it even worse i went to the credits
because i was like this is just no way that this man is just completely independent because if you don't know
four bats actually charted with this track as an independent artist to chart in the hot 100 strictly
independent I mean that's just insane obviously it didn't stay on there but it charted to the point where
you would not think that an independent artist would be out here competing with major label artists
so now he has his first ever chart entry as an independent artist
still no major label insight he debuted at number 11 oh that's the bubbling charts that don't count
they said they entered the hot 100 so i'm pretty sure it's like the top 90 oh okay i found it yeah
enter the top 50 goodness for the first time ever at 44 with 560 68 000 streams on january 16th
for it. And it was his first time ever reaching the charts top 50. Now I'm saying all this for a
reason. I'm about to let y'all know what's exactly about to happen. Because I looked at the producer
and guess what? It literally just said untitled beats. So now here comes the greatest musician
ever giving you a remix that you think is going to catapult your career into new heights.
And I don't even like to say it like this, but somebody got to, like what Doc Rivers?
I got to put that as a drop.
What Doc Rivers say?
No, I think it was RDC World making a spoof.
But somebody got to see what's going on.
Somebody got to see what's going on.
Now, I'm a Drake Stan, right?
So I know exactly what's about to happen.
Usually, if it's a new up-and-coming artist, he collabs with him and takes their producer.
Well, guess what?
The producer is literally untitled.
beats. I don't think his actual producer. I think it was literally a YouTube beat he found
and made this track over it. I'm thinking somebody who's a masterful engineer in the background
because if you don't know, this man's voice sounds nothing like that, but he engineered it
in the way to give him that effect. So I thought Drake was like, you know what, collaborate with
him. Take his producer. I looked it up. I don't know if entitled beats is a person, but from my
research, I can't find any type of inclination that this man is an actual human being.
So I'm just going to say he doesn't exist.
So now what is left for Drake to take?
The actual track.
There's nothing left to gain off of four bats except the sonics that he encapsulated the masses
with.
So what does he do?
He takes the beat and not only takes the beat, he redos the beat, changes the tempo.
So now when you go to the credits, guess who's also the producer now?
Noah 40.
I forget his last name.
But you get what I'm saying.
So 40, which is Drake's producer, is now credited for the producer on that track.
Drake, who's the remix, who remix the track is now going to completely boost this man's sales,
which, you know, is definitely a positive.
but he only has three tracks out he's an independent do you really think he knows the ends and outs
of what drake knows as far as the music industry so i think what's probably going to happen is drake's
going to take this it's going to be his track now like it's just his track now sort of like he did
block boy jb exactly like he did black boy jb and unfortunately four bats is probably
going to fall to the wayside and never reach the height that this track remix is going to reach
So everybody's going to be saying to him
Your biggest hit was with Drake
It's happened time and time again
I hate to say it like this
Because I'm a huge Drake stand
I'm not even mad at Drake
You know at this point
It's worked for so long
Why not keep doing it?
You know what I mean?
Just take advantage of them honestly
Like just
I forget their longevity
Hop on a hit track
Make it yours
And now it just seems like
They never had a hit without you
You know what I mean
The cycle continues
right what uh what nipsy say the marathon continues i mean just forget artist integrity at this point
just just rip it i mean he's been ripping whole accents he's been ripping whole cultures off
i mean might as well just take this man's career you know what i'm saying just forget him so so four bets
you know he's just out here thinking he's getting an opportunity of the lifetime when in all
actuality he's just block boy j b 2.0
That's probably the harshest way I could have put that.
But, you know, I try to, no, that's probably the nicest way I could have put that.
Because I could have been way more harsh.
But I try to give it in a way that's, like, constructive.
And it still is, it's just sad.
It's just sad what's about to happen to this man's career.
So anyways, what else I want to get into?
Oh, I also covered the actual, well, no, I actually listened to the track.
And, of course, Drake went crazy.
I mean, he's the goat.
This pocket is perfect for him.
So just took it.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, he really just took his track.
That's actually crazy.
So it's his song now.
Like literally the rest of the track, you don't hear Four Bass at all.
Like he gives like a minute, two minute verse, which basically is his track.
You know, he gives a whole song, changes the beat up.
And basically Forbass is like the opener for Drake now.
So it's not even, like, you know, back and forth if it's none of that.
It's just Drake's track, Four Bass opens up and then the remix happens.
The beat does it slow down speed?
Yeah, the beat slows down.
It's just, yeah.
So his long, you know, his aspirations for longevity in the music industry is for
Finito.
It's over, man.
It's over.
You then fell into the trap, and I can't be mad at Drake for implementing this once again.
As usually, it's the artist and a producer, but as I said, I did research.
I couldn't find a producer.
So, yeah, there goes that.
So anyways, what else?
There's something else I want to get into.
Oh yeah, so I might as well just give an update on the goat and how he's just great at marketing as it has, you know, I forget what the term is.
But now that the dust has settled, I guess it's the phrase, rich baby daddy is the most successful track when it comes to marketing and longevity.
as it's still 71 on the Billboard top 100, all the other tracks are below it.
So when everybody, including myself, was wondering why in the world is sexy red on a Drake album,
this is why the longevity of this track on the charts is outlasting every other track for all the dogs.
So I think Siza obviously has a part to do with it.
Drake has a part to do with it.
But Drake knowing what to do in this industry, like to the point where it's scary.
It's like LeBron type scary the way he knows how to move and keep his longevity up to a certain point.
Sexy Red had a certain impact on the TikTok charts, like a, not Taylor Swift, obviously, that's disrespectful.
But she did have a top five impact as far as artist wise and numbers on the TikTok charts.
So you put her as a sounding like a sample, like a sonically.
sexy red sounds like the
I think it's the in my feelings track off of scorpion
like he used sexy red
like he used the city girls
I think it was the city girls
off of scorpion all the way back in 2018
I told you I'm a Drake Stan
I think it was in my feelings
yeah okay so
the same way that Drake used the city girls
as a sample sonically
and in my feelings
is the same way he used sexy red for
rich baby daddy so now years from now you're going to listen back to it and she's not even going to sound
like a actual artist on the track she's going to sound like a sample that drake and scissors was playing
off of the master the mastery of drake needs to be studied hanged going to lie to you so hey while
these other artists get the whole career taken from them i mean i guess my goat still goes on you know
still lives on to tell another story uh you know i mean so i just wish uh i just wish it didn't happen to
four bats because i actually actually i don't even know too much about him he has three tracks out so
hey i guess forget him at this point so anyways click by link to my bio let me know in one of my
social medias what do you think about drake just completely taking four bats whole career and um
only chart entry track and also as far as the um next artist that you think drake should should uh
take their career from them which artists which up-income artists do you think should be next on the
uh theft by drake
