Analytic Dreamz: Notorious Mass Effect - "DRAKE & CAMILA CABELLO - HOT UPTOWN (C,XOXO)"

Starting point is 00:00:03 Camilla Cabello has a new album out titled C comma XOXO now what in the world does that mean the world may never know but in all actuality I'm covering this album to talk about Drake so let's just get straight into it so Drake is on a new track titled hot uptown and let me tell you it is hot garbage because it's one of those things to where as a Drake fan you have to keep it eight more than 92 because Laura knows that he's going through it right now. So the biggest thing for Drake not to do is to team up with lukewarm artists who are putting out mediocre music. So since he's doing exactly that, I have to point it out. You know what I mean? So Hot Uptown is straight trash. It's supposed to be another track with the two titled Ugly, but maybe they saw how ugly the outcome was of them collaborating and decided not to put out that second track so as far as being nice and generous Drake is all of that in a bag of chips because even Camelo or Cabello came out and said

Starting point is 00:01:18 Drake's generosity kindness and humanity highlighted her respect and admiration for him obviously it wasn't nothing else to go along with that it was just the honesty and then all that other great cookie cutter adjectives that she used for him are okay so this is very interesting as cabello shared her frustration over the negative portrayal of drake and his feud for kensik lamar this is the one w i will give camilla because of this one thing that drake's counter parts or just people he's helped in the industry are not doing it's coming out to defend this man So for Camilla to do that as a woman, it's very interesting and I think it would help Drake on I can say global scale, but it will help Drake on some sort of scale because obviously Camilla's

Starting point is 00:02:16 fan base isn't the likes of hip-hop. So to the other side, they're going to hear their favorite artists say that and then they're going to think to themselves. I wonder why people keep going at Drake like he's really not a bad guy and that's really all you want it. So as far as Camilla comes, coming out saying that I think it was great but you know the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake is of one of those to where it's the biggest hip-hop beefs in history maybe ever because as far as two premier artists who also have rapping ability going at it on a grandio scale I think this is the biggest we've ever received and I'm talking about Nas J-Z Biggie Tupac I think Drake and Kendrick is the biggest hip-hop beef

Starting point is 00:03:03 on a commercialized scale we've ever seen. So anyways, as far as a hot uptown, you know, it's hot garbage. There's really nothing else to say about it. Camilla's now on the charts. Drake's now on the charts. And there's a reason for both of those. The moves that they're making is not the greatest. And if you want to say, oh, Drake's technically on the charts with You My Everything

Starting point is 00:03:26 with Sexy Red and Drake, which is the 59th most played song right now in the world, I would attest that or give that to sexy red because I don't know what it is about her marketing team, but they are putting on a masterclass on how to promote mediocrity. Because as far as your marketing team, putting you on certain stages, putting you on certain billboards, and the recognition for you being at the scale that it is with the quality and music you're putting out, it's all credit towards your marketing team because let me tell you something if the biggest thing you're making news for is not your music but you sharing chief keef as a boyfriend then hey my brother

Starting point is 00:04:13 i don't know what to tell you so as far as drake i think the biggest thing for drake to do is just to realize that people don't want to hear from you and obviously i think that's a mistake as a Drake fan because I keep going back to the lyric that Drake said where he stated if I stay in this game no if I left hip hop it'd be a bunch of orphans but if I stayed in hip hop it'd be a bunch of corpses basically alluding to the fact that Drake is the person who put hip hop on a global mainstream scale of the global mainstream platform basically as far as getting in front of other fan bases who don't even care about hip hop, Drake is saying that he did that.

Starting point is 00:05:05 And obviously, I'm going to give that to him because, of course, with M&M, of course to Jack Harlow, of course with... Who's the other guy? The guy who stole the Grammy from... Kendrick Lamar was his name?

Starting point is 00:05:18 Macklemore. They are very intriguing to an audience that's not true hip-hop fans. I'm not going to say true hip-hop fans. But let's just say hip-hop is like an alternative. alternative genre for them so that way you get you're bringing you're technically bringing more hip hop fans in to the landscape into the ecosphere which in turn gives a lot of other people more monetary value it's kind of like the kately cluck effect so i like how drake puts that as if he did

Starting point is 00:05:47 leave hip hop hip hop would not be in a great state as far as analytically and performing on a global scale so on other hand as far as cultural relevance i don't think he's he's speaking to that at all. But as far as the mainstream numbers, the white kids, the billies, the mandis, wanted to go out to your show, I think hip hop became more of an intriguing option once Drake started to get into it.

Starting point is 00:06:14 And you realize the people I compared them to it that also did that were of a certain race. But, you know, that's what size's point. So anyways, this album is out now. Of course, what was the publication? Of course pitchfork. gave this album a 9.6. I don't know if that's out of 100.

Starting point is 00:06:34 It should be, but actually, I think it's just out of, actually. Oh, no, no, no. They gave it a 6.9. Okay, I was about to say. But even that's too high. So I think one of the biggest things when you come into this music industry is you realize that there's a lot of different connections to be made to get certain appeal from the masses.

Starting point is 00:06:56 And Camilla has definitely made those that she's made at a point to put herself in front of every cover, a black artist known the man so i think her feature list reflects that so um if i was to give advice i would probably say take a break that's what i was like you know you see take a break is going to be the theme throughout this entire segment because if you're putting out music constantly that's not resonating then um maybe it's you and maybe you need to reevaluate some things which is helped by taking a break it's easy to revaluate is how you say we reevaluate I was missing one of the syllables reevaluate your goal and your mission

Starting point is 00:07:46 when you take a break so that's simply my advice just take a break so with that being said click my link tree in my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about Camilla's album C comma Xo Xo and then what do you think about Drake just putting out some of the worst music that he's ever created in his career
