Now of course getting into the Lauren Hill section of the wireless festival because if he didn't know, Drake brought out everybody in a mama to shut down the wireless festival for not one, not two, but three nights in wireless. He brought out this list of artists, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. Because essentially when you're looking at this list and you're realizing the immense respect Drake still has in the game, of music you kind of realize that he may just be all right as far as everybody coming out whether it's Lauren Hill 21 Savage Vanessa Carlton I know right very random skepta central C Dave Yeat party next door Bryson Tiller rimma uh Vibs Cartel the iconic vibes cartel Popcon sexy red loto I mean there's a lot of names on here that you could just talk about as far as who specifically came out to show love for Drake and his appearance at Wireless Festival.

Because if you don't know, essentially speaking, Wireless Festival was in Finsbury Park in London. And Drake took that opportunity to say some other things as far as UK versus American rappers. But we're not going to focus on that right now. As far as Drake and Lauren Hill, this was a very interesting collab on stage because who would have predicted this type of collab. because of course when it comes to nice for what i believe it samples loren hill let me see nice for what um let's see because if i'm not mistaken because i think that's apparent because i know with veneza carlton that was just a random feature as far as uh night two but night one samples loren hill's x factor from a 1998 album

the miseducation of loren hill so when it comes to nights for what we already know that jrown Drake's mammoth of a hit nice for what and how that went crazy in 2018 so so to see her on stage on time mind you so for all the Lauren Hill haters out there she was on time and she was on time at the at the essence festival but y'all you all disrespected the queen but we ain't going to talk about that so anyways um when comes to Lauren Hill getting her respect at the wireless festival some would say I didn't even know she was still making music well ladies and gentlemen she's technically not making music but at the end of the day she did just perform at the essence festival um she has a lot more um events coming up i believe because when it comes to

she's been performing like with dochi i believe uh that happened like march 8th and as far as in the future she continues the tour with the scheduled concert in seo paolo in 2025 so i don't know exactly where that is i ain't gonna cap to you know geography is not my strong suit uh strong suit y'all you know what that is best off me saying it i mean if you live there so so it comes to loren hill i believe she should have her dates up if not then definitely a missed opportunity so uh i do not see dates so that's cool that's cool this is official account too so whatever so anyways she was basically clarifying the whole essence festival situation because if you don't know she got entirely disrespectful to the point where she had to come out and give a whole statement

analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio Lauren here essentially said thank you what thank you essence for clarifying that the delays were not my fault but then you know what I'm saying like damn look at the state of hip-hop like what's going on Warren Hill had to put those rumors and those consistent rumors to bed because she had she had enough she had it up to here with y'all saying that she always showed up late so this was Essence Festival's fault. So she came out on the IG post and said, thank you, Essence, for clarifying that the delays were not my fault.

Family, comma, let me address a few things. You already know when they say that, something's about to get broken down in a way you couldn't even imagine. So let's continue. I am involved in every aspect of what it takes to put on my shows, comma, because it requires that much involvement to protect the integrity of my message and the quality of what I do, period. And for this reason, I rehearse and arrange the music diligently with my band, another period. I am involved in every aspect of design, preparation, and production of my shows, while also being a parent, grandparent, and steward.

to my median family and community. While some get to focus on a single disciplinal category, shade, but then you know what I'm saying? My role requires that I have eyes everywhere and contribute to most, if not every department and more. Ladies and gentlemen,

goes on to write a whole dissertation, so we're not right, we're not reading out the rest of that, but you know, essentially speaking, Essus Festival let her down But I'm glad that the goat, the mascot of hip hop, could bring out Lauren Hill shortly after that to showcase all the immense love and flowers that she should receive, especially being on stage, given some of the greatest hip hop bodies of work to date. So with that being said, that was night one as far as Lauren Hill being brought out and basically shutting down the whole festival because who would have thought that Lauren Hill was going to come out on such short notice. so that was very impactful and ultimately now we're about to get into night too because oh as far as

this not being as surprising because she was sampled for nice for what that was the 2018 hit for drake this next one that we're about to get into was beyond surprising so let's get into that one right now
