Now, of course, after I finished watching the entire Iceman episode one, I was just thinking to myself. So where? So what then? So what, big dog? Because of course, I was thinking to myself, so what? So what now? Of course, at the end of the day, the goat, the mascot of hip-hop, has returned with new installments to his next project that is and will be titled Iceman. man. Now, of course, for longtime listeners of the podcast, you already know, I don't know how in the world I got this information. Obviously, you know, I probably just made it up way back then, right? But as far as Iceman specifically, just know I revealed the title for this project back in November of 2024. And if you don't believe me, just look up Iceman analytic dreams with a Z and they look at the release date. So with that being said. But then, you know what I'm saying?

I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? You know, usually I covered new music earlier as far as winning releases. But, you know, something just told me that I should probably wait. Even before any of the post happened today, I was like, let me just wait for a little bit. Because, you know, obviously I'm not having any information given to me, right? Because that would be insane. Like, who in the world would be watching this from the OVO camp?

So obviously, I was just waiting and waiting. And of course, it eventually came. We'll pause. you guys see that's the problem so with that being said iceman episode one is totally finished and as far as the live stream i believe you can't pull it up i think in general you would have had to watch it as soon as it came out um so when i was watching it obviously i took a lot of notes and things of that nature but then a lot of other people took a lot of notes because you know besides the point of people calling him a pdf with no proof everybody was tuned in to this live

stream so with that being said the main thing I want to let you know is that it did happen on Independence Day which is definitely an interesting strategy especially the way that Kendrick was releasing his certain tracks on certain Canadian holidays it really matches up as far as Drake trying to rebut have a rebuttal as far as putting certain stuff out on American holidays and of course it's just the pettiness to the highest level but of course both of these superstars are meticulous in the way they construct the marketing strategies, which is why they've been running hip hop for quite some time

as far as 2024 and 2025, specifically being the only hip hop artists to really compete with the other superstars and other genres. And if you don't believe me, all you got to do is just go to the charts. Objectively speaking, Kendrick, Drake, and Playbric Cardi, I guess, are one of the top-tier performers as far as engagement not quality as far as engagement and consumption in hip hop compared to the rest of the field as with drake some sexy songs for you is the 18th most played album in the world with kendrick kendrick's album is currently the 14th most played album in the world as far as gnx and then when it comes to singles nokea is the 16th most played track in the world been on our charts for about 19 weeks so some will say that's a bona fide hit

for Drake obviously not his standards as far as not being in the top five of a top 10 but it's still in a top 20 which is a significant accomplishment being 19 weeks into um this the cycle and then we have the other track somebody loves me with party next door being the 50th most played track in the world that's been on the charts for about 19 weeks and of course size 7 i mean um white tank top i mean my fault kendrick uh kendrick yeah Kendrick has four tracks on the charts which technically is two more than Drake but to be a well actually scissors on two of those tracks so I'm taking two off so technically I think they're tied but whatever Kendrick has four tracks on the charts as Luther is the number six most played track in the world been on the charts about 31 weeks of course

that's with Siza and then when you come to 30 for 30 his second most popular track that's also with Siza and that's the 29th most played track in the world been on the truss about 27 weeks now of course if you knew just though this is the notorious bass effect so we get into the game Maming and music IPs that affect the masses. So that being said, TV off is the third most popular track from Kendrick, and that's been on the charts for about 31 weeks, which is a huge accomplishment. Definitely the most popular track from Kendrick himself off of G&X. Oh, my fault.

He actually has another feature on it and his lefty gunplay. Now, with that one, I'm not trying to disrespect lefty, but I'm just going to say I think Kendrick had more to do with that going popular than this feature, right? So Kendrick featured a lefty gunplay with TV office, the 46 most popular track in the world, been on the charts for about 31 weeks. And of course, his fourth most popular track is Picaboo, which is the 70th most popular track in the world, been on the charts for about 31 weeks. So of course, when it comes to Drake, when it comes to Kendry, no other hip-hop artist is out here competing at this height as far as against other superstars and other genres. you can't find another hip hop artist besides drake and kendry if you if you want to count playbricardi as far as his album i guess you can but as far as singles specifically drake kendry and then of course

big exa plug but you know of course with his albums being entitled take care you know what i'm saying i try not to cover that one i mean that was just blatant disrespect anyways again back into drake and his iceman episode one it happened today of course well if you're listening to to this in the future it happened July 4th on YouTube it was a whole live stream and it was set in a Toronto warehouse featuring trucks with the Iceman branding and of course the way that Drake transitioned from the different scenes he was showcasing because analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio but I was just going to show you out some of the scenes from the live stream so in general there's multiple scenes he was showing and these

with some of them so analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio but this is some of the scenes they were showing during the live stream uh really reminded me of a kisonnet type of setup as far as um the production quality as far as a live stream being specific because you know of course kai then and uh he didn't uh invent music videos and things of that nature but of course when it comes to the live stream and aspect the different scenes and the way they set it up to go into different transitions i think kisonnette's team is one of the best if not the best currently probably him mr b some would say speed but it's really the locations where he's at as far as the live stream and aspect not really the actual format of the format

like i think that's more kison nestling but anyways uh that was a little content created a side tangent so these were the scenes from the ice man live stream as you can tell ice man branding is all over this warehouse and of course there was a a break room there was a break room and that's when drake came out and essentially showcase the ultimate single that he will be putting out for the summer titled what did i miss now with that being said obviously i was very excited because drake's my favorite artist ice man episode one i think is and was a success as far as doing what it needed to do having a lot of people tuned in obviously there was a 30-minute delay because you know rappers they really don't understand time like that they say one time they show up two hours later

so you know you just got put up with it but um as far as what did i miss the visuals as far as a specific track now i think i could put up the snippet of that because like i said the live stream is completely gone so i can put up the video i believe let me see yeah so here's the video for what did i miss so essentially drake came out and let me see i don't get oh can i play the audio okay so drake came out and basically um he was sitting in the lunchroom table so this is a is this TVs like as far as far as the outside perspective Drake is sitting in a lunchroom he grabbed something out of a microwave sat down about to eat and then this is what the TV was and it zoomed in on a TV and then this one that's when the single what did I miss play from so when

it comes to the video this is what looks like right here so analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio but essentially speaking the way that the transition set up especially the wait time into the actual reveal of the trailer I mean of the single i thought it was phenomenal and of course when it comes to the track i actually like this track and before you say oh you like every drake uh drake track that is far from the case that's literally one of his latest tracks as far as with smiley two monsa i said that's one of drake's worst tracks of all time but then you know what i'm saying i was like to him look at the state of hip-hop like what's going to and that happened june 13th 2025 so safe to say

i always listen to drake's music compared to his own music and then that's what my review comes from so as far as this specific track is definitely reminded me of an anthem i do believe when it comes to an anthem like single this is what drake was going for because as far as nokea i think that was more experimental but people who don't know me personally as soon as that album came out that was the first track i put up because i knew that this was it i knew that nokea was definitely a hit as far as this particular track it reminds me more of a god's plan as far as the overall anthem type of a pathway it just depends on how people are going to respond to listening to it's a PG podcast but let's just say meet writing and hating type lyrics going at certain people

certain individuals when you're literally suing for the damages that was done to you by another rapper that's the most that's the simplest way I could put it so as far as aggressive versus going at people talking about people being a rapper in the sport getting defeated objectively because you said in court because i've covered the actual drake lawsuit if you want to type that uh if you want to look that up just type in let me see uh let me see yeah okay so just type in UMG analytic dreams with the z and it should pop up on whatever platform you listen to podcast on so in general i broke this lawsuit down like a kilo of myles irs drake literally said in the lawsuit hey i lost brand deals i lost sponsorships

I lost all type of things because of that not like us anthem, right? So objectively, Drake lost. That's what they're saying in the lawsuit. That's what the whole defamation is about. And of course, when it comes to the bots and paola, that's a whole other side of the lawsuit, which you can hear when I deep dive into it specifically in my UMG segment. Anyways, as far as it specifically, I like it. I think it's an anthem.

The only reason I'm having some hesitancy towards it is because of the content. The lyrical content is not going to be believable because it's like if a gangster the rapper got caught snitching and now kept coming out talking about oh we kill rats we hate rats like hold up now i know that ain't who i think it is drake out here talking about oh we we pop it now we uh taking like literally the the clip i played at the beginning right as far as him uh talking tough during like some heckler coming up to him which you know it's granted because like why are you coming up to drake while he's trying to ride around in his iceman van promoting his music right and he was talking tough to that person but in general as far as the lyrical content i think i could pull this up so i can

specifically quote um so what did i miss right what did my miss has a specific track on a specific verse where he was going at people because he was talking about okay yeah here we go he said okay let me pull this up because y'all gonna think i'm joking literally albara graham said in verse two people get punched in remember there's a PG podcast so I'm gonna you know take out the cuss words and replace them people get punched in the face on some TLC

poop on a dead guy so at first glance you're probably thinking I know that ain't that's the same man that been suing his company his major backing backer as far as his entire musical career

anyways let's keep going people get punched in the face on some TLC poop on the dead guy. Some TLC because my guy, you gonna need a chilly ice pack for your left eye. Hmm. So a lot more tough talk. I'm back in your city tonight. Oh, he's continuing with the tough talk.

Walking around with my head high. I saw a bro at the pop out with them, but been meat riding gang since headlines. Now that's specifically for LeBron James. if you don't believe me just know just know that's specifically for lebron james and if you don't believe me even more even after you know with no proof you know of course

because i said at the beginning of the segment certain things that you can pinpoint but whatever as far as drake there's this thing called the irish the fighting irish freestyle guess when that was released january well not exactly but as far as when i covered it january 3rd 2025 i believe it was released like a day or two before that but essentially the fighting irish freestyle you Y'all want to know who LeBron's high school, what high school he played with? Let me see.

If I can pull this up, I quick. All right. So as far as LeBron James High School, he essentially went to St. Vincent, St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio. Y'all want to know what the jerseys look like? But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going to? So anyways, going back to the lyrics, I saw Braun at the popout with them, but been meat riding gang since headlines.

Now, of course, LeBron's not going to respond because there's a lot of things that Drake said in the fighting Irish freestyle, which if you literally type in Irish analytic dreams with a Zia should pop up as far as my coverage of that freestyle. Essentially speaking, Drake exposed that man. And the way he exposed them, I do not co-sign. You know, they say don't hate the player, hate the game. I think in general, Drake was hating both. He was hating the player and the game. He was like, hold on now. Ain't no way I've been helping you with this, this, and that.

And you a whole married, let me chill. So anyways, with that being said, Drake's single, what did I miss, was revealed during the Iceman episode. And then we had, what else? Okay, let me go back to this. And then we had other tracks that was revealed, such as Face Fire, which was a one dance type of track. That's one of the tracks that a lot of people missed as far as the coverage.

They don't understand that, well, not understand, but they didn't see that Drake was promoting different tracks off of the Ice Man project. So there was Supermax, which a lot of people covered. It was What Did I Miss, which is the commercial anthem that he's, I think he's going to put that out at midnight, but don't quote me on that. And then there's the Iceman overall episode one, basically just showcasing that this is going to be a continuation of the series. um face fire which is a one dance type of track that we haven't heard before and then we have brian steel freestyle by smiley right i don't know if it's going to be titled brian still but of course smiley had his own freestyle off of off of uh this live stream which tells me that this entire

mixtape is going to have specific tracks from ovo members specifically to them so i think smiley is going to have his own track off of this ice man project now am i saying it's going to be like an album i do believe at the end of day i do believe this is not going to be his um his album because he has a whole album out rnb wise with party next door that's 21 tracks i think is one of his best albums of all time and i know there's a hot take but if you listen to the album i think it just gets better over time like every time i listen to when he's gone or die trying or somebody loves me like i just realized that this is a classic body of work from drake paul you guys see that's the problem you know did he to mess up the game for all of us we got to pause everything

even seems like you know what I'm saying so anyways um and then yeah so that was it so there was a supermax reveal the what did I miss reveal the face fire review and then a brian still freestyle review on the iceman episode one and at the end of the day I just want to let y'all know that when it comes to Drake this whole entire project is just going to be him talking about what he said and what that i missed basically talking about how people switched up on him how in general he can't believe how some people that he helped out flipped on him but of course that's how it goes and he talked about talking to taylor but with that being said we're going to specifically dive into every single track as far as super max what did i miss face fire and brian still so as far as this coverage we're

going to continue it on those particular tracks so with that being said uh let's get into supermax right now
