Starting point is 00:00:03 You know, I grew up non-confrontational and always treated this game as a sport when my pen won gold. But these days, the podium has been hard for all of us to ignore, period. I understand that this next chapter may leave you feeling uneasy. comma but I hope you see my honesty as clarity not charity that answers some questions
Starting point is 00:00:37 especially about the unanswered text you've been sending me period now I already know what y'all thinking Drake's the goat mascot of hip hop all the oh y'all wasn't thinking that all my fault
Starting point is 00:00:52 so anyways as a Drake fan y'all already know that this next Drake hour I believe is going to be some of his best work. I believe when the rappers go through a tumultuous time and obviously Drake has had that type of experience especially in 2024. I don't think a rapper has ever done to another rapper what Kendrick did to Drake. Not Pac to Biggie, not 50 or not Kanye to 50. Not 50 to Jarl rule. I believe what Kendrick did you. did to drink, not even Ice Cube to NWA can compare to the amount
Starting point is 00:01:33 of turmoil that side 7, I mean, white tank taught me, I always forget his name. Kendrick, what Kendrick did to Drake. As far as verbally mutilating him to the point where now he is suing the label that he is under and is very unthinkable
Starting point is 00:01:53 because it's a defamation lawsuit for the track that lost him to battle in the Kendrick Drake War. Now, of course, life has to go on, right? You win some, you lose some, but you indeed have to live to fight another day. Now, the reason I say all this is simply because Drake's next album is going to be a classic. Now, if it's not classic, I'll just come out and say it's not classic,
Starting point is 00:02:18 but I ain't going to lie to you. I don't know if y'all have been noticing, but some sexy songs for you has been growing on a lot of people, and for the haters, even sharp, He was like, I'm not even going to speak on the album because I have to be a Drake hater. Now, that should let you know the type of vitriol that some people have towards Drake, whether warranted or not warranted, that's the type of vitriol that they have. I mean, Joseph Anthony Buddy, a button literally as the public, the masses on his ginormous platform,
Starting point is 00:02:47 who is out here wearing Nike tikes? Because he keeps on emphasizing Drake's infatuation with younger girls. If y'all don't know, Joseph Anthony Button laid the groundwork for Pusherty and Kendrick to fly. You know how they say you got to crawl before you walk, walk before you run. Well, Anthony Button did everything in between to let Pusherty and Kendrick fly off at the mouth and send the most egregious shots ever put on wax towards Aubrey Graham. Now, did Drake ask for it? Of course he did.
Starting point is 00:03:29 But we have to realize that Joseph Anthony Button is the epitome of what Drake's downfall was as far as the rap battle. Because he and his disses towards Drake. Yes, Joseph Anthony Button used to be a rapper for those who are young. Joe Button has some of the most masterful tracks when it came to Drake Dissus. And bits and pieces of that was used in Kendrick's rebuttal. as far as push the tea, not as much because the kid angle was a new thing. We didn't even know about that, right? As far as Kendrick, he took a lot of things that Joseph said, and he used it in his
Starting point is 00:04:08 diss is towards Drake. I mean, even Rick Ross, and we all know that people sided with Drake on the Rick Ross versus Drake battle, right? Even Rick Ross, the whole surgery angle as far as his nose and as far as his stomach, Joe Budden, Ben said that in his diss is Torres Drake. Now, of course, if you want to look up the Joe Drake Disses, it's going to be kind of hard because I don't think it's really on DSP. Let me see, Drake Dis. I mean, he had a bunch of them, right?
Starting point is 00:04:38 Making a Murderer, Part 1, Wake, right? I think he made a track title just because, afraid, like, he had a lot of things that he put out. But essentially, Wake and Making a Murderer is probably the two tracks you need to listen to. And I think if you're a younger listener, right, and don't even know that Joe Budding used to rap and was probably one of the better ones to do it, they would be pleasantly surprised on the amount of quality that making a murderer part one was and of course, wake.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Now, of course, why am I saying all that? Because in the aftermath of this battle, Drake is still battling it out with Kendrick as GNX dethrone some sexy songs for you from number one. If you didn't know, Drake went number one with Party Next Door and the album some sexy songs for you, which is a phenomenal album to the point where, and I've given it some time, to the point where we may have to put this in the top five Drake albums and his discography.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Because if you think about it, Party Next Door has been openly the writer for Drake when it comes to a lot of these R&B tracks. Obviously, Drake has his own pen and things that nature. But Party Next Door, I would see it's like the R&B Quentin Miller to Drake, right? and what weekend did for Drake as far as his take care album, I think Party Next Door has did for Drake in his entire career. So Party Next Door and Drake having such a classic body of work shouldn't be as of a surprise to a lot of people because Party Next Door knows how Drake wants to sound because he's been
Starting point is 00:06:11 implementing that sound for the longest and Drake's been using it for himself, right? It's almost as if Party Next Door is to Drake what the dream is to Beyonce. But of course, Drake also writes his own tracks because I'm a Drake fan. I have to defend him. You know what I mean? He do be writing his own tracks to the point where he's made some of the, he's written for Kanye. He's written for Beyonce. Kanye even came out and said he's one of the greatest writers he's ever worked with when
Starting point is 00:06:36 referring to Drake. So it's not like this man's PIN is just trash. You know, he has a little help on the V's, right? He has a little help to collaborate of effort, right? So anyways, the reason why I say that is because party next door on Drake, some sexy songs. for you went number one right then kentrick lamar genx came out of nowhere like superman just completely dethroned the album and still to this day is the number one album in the world currently selling around 90,000 units while party next door and drake sold around 89,000 units now i wonder
Starting point is 00:07:09 why the discreferency is so minimal it's almost as it let me chill you know what i mean the lawsuit gonna handle that right but let's just say Kendrick's team is phenomenal His marketing team needs to go up there with the 96 97 bulls. Because what they are doing as far as performing, they are doing it. Let's just put it like that, right? I'm not accusing anybody or anything. I'm just saying, Kendrick is putting on a phenomenal display on what a marketing team could do for your career while already being a superstar in the game.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Right. So anyways, if you dare know, Drake is currently putting out another solo album. Now, of course, when I said some sexy songs for you was coming out two weeks and ended up coming out on like four weeks. So technically, I was around the mark. But the way I knew that, you know what I mean? The world may never know. Maybe I'm just making stuff up, right? So anyways, Drake is going to put out a solo album this year, right?
Starting point is 00:08:05 It's probably going to be towards the tail end of this year. Maybe, you know, there's a certain game that's going to be released, GTA6. And that has an estimated release date, right? I'm just going to leave it at that. So anyways, you know, it may co-aline or come around that time, right? You know, I don't know. I'm just making stuff up, honestly. So anyways, Drake also, the main reason I want to get into Drake, Pulse, is that
Starting point is 00:08:33 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming up, right? And basically, the FIFA president, FIFA president Gianni Infantino talked about the idea of Drake headlining the World Cup final halftime show. So there's a lot of different performers, I believe. And basically, with the World Cup, Drake's name even being floated about as far as being a performer, you already know what we have to compare that to. Kendrick Lamar performed at the Super Bowl, which is the biggest event in American history as far as entertainment, right?
Starting point is 00:09:13 Super Bowl is the biggest event as far as the engagement and things. of their nature. So now if you perform at the World Cup, you essentially are now putting yourself on a grand scale that's the world because now soccer is the most popular sport when the entire earth is involved. Football is the most popular sport when it comes to Americans. So it'll be a pivotal move if Drake ended up performing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. So that's why I was. wanted to bring that up really nothing too crazy as far as drake and his run on the charts obviously he has the second most popular album in the world with some sexy songs for you people think we just talk about drake for the love of it right like he's not one of the top performers in hip hop i mean i've
Starting point is 00:10:01 talked about tape mccray i've talked about chino packers i've talked about uh bollywood artists i've talked about everybody who impacts the masses but seemingly is only pointed out when you talk about drake right as far as the continue or to consistently or consistency. So people have to realize that Drake is one of the more popular artists in the world. It's Drake, Taylor Swift, and Bad Bunny, and then it's the rest of the artists, right? Kendrick's having a phenomenal year, but I like to compare Kendrick to Kowah Linder. You never know when he's going to go on his three to four year hiatus, which he literally did
Starting point is 00:10:35 before putting out Mr. Morrell and the big steppers, right? So when it comes to Drake's involvement with FIFA, he basically acknowledged it and the FIFA president said he should have his number saved talking about Drake and the potential to capitalize on the Drake versus Lamar beef could end up happening with Drake headlining the World Cup final halftime show now the first World Cup hosted by Canada US and Mexico is let me see set to happen Yeah, to feature, okay, so basically in totality, right? The first World Cup hosted by Canada, U.S. and Mexico,
Starting point is 00:11:25 which will have a Super Bowl-esque type halftime show, would be July 19, 20, 26. And the audience is expected to be 2 billion with the B viewers. So 2 billion viewers, which is 20X, the Super Bowl's reach. I wonder what type of sense that would make for Drake
Starting point is 00:11:51 coming off of what Kendrick did to him on the Super Bowl halftime show which is why I criticized the halftime show the way I did. I believe Kendrick should have went through a lot of his classics
Starting point is 00:12:01 and then got to Not Like Us, right? Because not like us should have been played. Don't get it twisted. But as far as my coverage of Kendrick's Super Bowl halftime show, if you just type in Super Bowl analytic dreams with the Z it should pop up.
Starting point is 00:12:13 my coverage of that i literally had my own track list because even though i come with complaints about his performance i i had solutions as far as my own tracklist and it literally had his classics and then not like us needed to be sprinkled throughout the track list but because of his involvement of creating pg lane he wanted to have as little td e tracks as possible which is why i believe he has seven to eight tracks off of gnx who in the world wants to hear GNX 6 to 7 times when it's a Super Bowl performance, right? So that was my whole sentiment. And of course, you know, people ran with it.
Starting point is 00:12:51 But with that being said, I do believe Drake is going to headline the FIFA World Cup that is set to happen. What was the date again? Set to happen July 19, 2026. As far as sport books, so Drake is at plus 150 odds to headline, trailing cold play at minus 300 so it's not a automatic lock that drake's going to perform but it's definitely being teased and thrown around that he may perform at the FIFA World Cup which I think would be phenomenal but of course we have to wait to see you what Drake ends up doing with that type of exposure
Starting point is 00:13:29 like I said two billion viewers would be there for those FIFA World Cup 20x times the Super Bowl so well that's redundant 20 times the Super Bowl so with that being said very interesting just wanted to break that down because i think drake headlining the fita uh world cup final halftime show would be very interesting and i would be interested to see what discourse comes about that type of uh performance so with that being said click my link tree in my bio let me know in one of my social medias what do you think about drake versus kendrick in general what do you think about this iG post basically well this IG Post talking about his next album making people feel uneasy and do you believe that
Starting point is 00:14:14 Drake will end up headlining the first World Cup half-time well the do you think Drake would end up headlining the World Cup final half-time show when it ends up happening July 19th 2026
