Now getting into the last track as far as the leak pack of Drake's camp, I mean, allegedly, Drake's camp, right? UMG's not playing around and it's taken out any and everything related to these leaked tracks. So I would not try and I would not advise you to post these tracks because guess what? UMG is coming for the Feduccini. They are tired of their Premier acts dropping tracks exclusively on social media only to not put it out on DSPs, right? Because now you're, going around the contract in a way that you can't do if you're suing them for payola defamation. Not only are you suing us after losing a rap battle, but now you want to put out leaked tracks. So he's just playing in their face.

With that being said, obviously we're talking about the goat, the mascot of hip hop, aka Arbor Drake Graham. Now, I've already covered waiting to exhale. I got into Cheerios. Now, let's getting to the social media phenomenon. that is shopping spree, aka Ball Harbor. Now, of course, the reason why I has both of those titles is because he basically says Ball Harbor Shopping Spree. So they put both titles in the track title.

They put Shop and Spray in it in parentheses Ball Harbor. But if you look up Shopping Spree, it'll be easier to find on SoundCloud, allegedly, or Twitter. You know, I ain't trying to make the block hot. But let's just say, this track is either going to see the light of day on DSPs or is never going to see the light of day in general because UMG is not playing around with these so-called leaked tracks from Drake. Now, it seems more of a reference track than anything

because he keeps saying real. Well, this is a PG podcast. So let's just say he's saying real stuff, right? So he keeps repeating that. I think he's trying to get the melody down. But the one thing that he did get down is the theme of this track. And what he says is very interesting. He says, sleeping in the Pistons locker room,

I'm on another mission. Cade Cunningham Leftish Crocks Yeah, I What is that? Oh, is that the sound effect? Okay, I was like, what? And when it plays out in the lyrics, it looks super weird.

Anyways, he does the sound effects, and then he says, it's a PG podcast, so I'm just going to say he had a lovemaking session in them, right? So, first off, letting the world know

that not only you were sleeping in a Pistons locker room, but, but, you know, besides that, Why does nobody talk about him sleeping in a Pistons locker room? I mean, if there's one franchise that you do not want to be associated with, if you're a winner, is Detroit Pistons. Now, I don't know about y'all, but as far as them and that whole area being considered,

I mean, you know, when it comes to the Pistons and what they were known for as far as I think it was the automobile industry or something like that, right? And then completely being just thrown to the race side because there was no need for that anymore as far as the it's like something about Detroit and what they was known for and they was like supplying a lot of it which is why they was thriving but then technology advanced or something like that and so now they're not as thriving because you know that it's it's not as coveted anymore um i had to find the specifics to get more in detail but that's essentially what happened to detroit right they were serving something as far as it being a commodity to the world and then it was no longer a commodity so now the Detroit pistons have

the public reputation that it has or Detroit has it. But of course, the Detroit Pistons don't make it any better because, of course, they're losing every game by 120 points. So anyways, Kay Cunningham is one of the few highlights of that team as far as Detroit Pistons. So Drake wanted to shout him out. You know, he's been shouting out. He's been shouting out a lot of NBA players, except for a certain individual. I wonder why.

I wonder when we're going to get the Aubrey versus LeBron beef, just like we had, Stephen A versus LeBron because we already know Drake had a particular track going at LeBron as far as the Irish freestyle if you don't think that was going at LeBron, just know that this grown man, Aubrey Graham has a whole tattoo of LeBron on his body, right? And is LeBron in an Irish uniform? Why do I know that? Because it's my job to know that. So now you got to know it too.

So with that being said, that specific leak track as far as shopping spree went viral because of the line K. Cunningham left his crocs. and I had a love-making session to you in them. Now, that is why we are not getting any introspective bars and hip-hop. How did this man put out, waiting to excel? Why did he put out Cheerios? Well, allegedly, as far as the League Pack. And the thing that blew up was the Kay Cunninghand, Crox Bar, and Ball Harbor.

Because, in my opinion, waiting to exhale and Cheerios are phenomenal tracks. And here comes Ball Harbor. That's not even a complete track. I think he's literally doing a reference version for like 30 seconds. And that's the thing that blows up because of the K. Cunningham Crox Bar, right? And people wonder why people don't put effort in the hip-hop bars anymore. So anyways, as far as the most popular line, that is by far the most popular. As far as Leak Pack is him talking about him sleeping in a business locker room, right?

And nobody knows why he's sleeping in a business locker room. Like I just said, I went on my whole spill about Detroit in their industry as far as, actually, let's look that up right now. because I do believe that's what happened as far as economy. Let's just type that answer. It pops up. So essentially, what I was basically detailing, see, I'm trying to see if I can get in specific. Because I believe I'm on the nose with that one.

I just don't know the actual specifics as far as what happened to Detroit in their economy. We're going to find this. Let me one second. All right. Okay. So Detroit, right? Oh, they're talking about the business. Okay, I'm not talking about the business.

That's phenomenal. We're going to find this. Come on a second. Because this is actually pretty pivotal to what I'm about to say. Because as far as Drake and associating himself to Detroit, I don't think it's the greatest move. Let's see.

Doing research on the spot, you got to love it. So getting back to what I'm saying, right? This leak pack, if it doesn't see DSPs, just know it's going to be taken down if you ever try to post it. And ultimately, these leaks are just proof that Drake still has a lot of heat in the tuck as waiting to exhale and Cheerio is just phenomenal, right? This particular track as far as Shopping Spree, aka Ball Harbor, it's solid, but the only pivotal thing from it is the Cape Huntingham Barth. Besides that, it's more of him just seemingly trying to find a melody.

And it's not even a full track, right? It's more of an idea than the actual. It's barely even a chorus, right? but the vibe and the beat the beat is another thing i want to get into pushups the OG version utilizes beat perfectly it was a masterclass on how to sample the get money beat right and for that to be used in this i don't know if i like it as much after hearing the OG version of push-ups just look up the OG version of push-ups and you know exactly what i'm talking about that beat to this day i think is the better version of what we got i think

If they would have used that beat in the updated lyrics that we have today, it would have the same effect, if not even a more expansive effect on the masses because of the way that that Get Money beat was attached to Drake just going at the entire industry, right? So anyways, when it comes to Detroit, right? Detroit had a decline in 1960s due to D industrial. I had to break that down because it was a lot of syllables. So they shedded a lot of jobs like GM moving factories to cheaper regions or automated, right? That's essentially what I was talking about.

The 2008 financial crisis where Detroit's population dropped from 1.8 million in the 1950s to under to under 700,000 with high employment, right? And poverty being one of the main reasons. So Detroit, the whole, you know, region of Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013 with 18 billion in debt. So when I tell you about the economy and how Detroit is looked at in today's age, just know they did have a claim to fame as far as the auto industry, but it went under when a lot of companies like GM started to shed jobs. And then of course when the financial crisis came about in 2008, the population started

to dwindle because of the high unemployment and poverty right so that's what i'm talking about when it comes to detroit and just it's attachment to losing right um so going back to my main point this track blowing up out of the leak pack it's criminal because waiting to exhale and shirio's a phenomenal complete uh track ball harbor is literally him trying to find a melody and using a beat that he already utilized perfectly in the OG version of push-ups. So that's why I say it like that.

But the main thing is that you should know that Drake is consistently playing in UMG's face by releasing these, well, allegedly releasing these league tracks that's essentially from the Fall of the Dogs era. But the main thing when it comes to Drake is him still being the goat of hip-hop as, if you don't know, he actually passed the Beatles as far as

the most consecutive weeks on the charts, right? So, I'm seeing if I can find that. So when it comes to Drake, I think it was, so Drake surpassed the Beatles for the most cumulative weeks on Billboard 200 charts. So.

But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? When we talk about the state of hip hop and while we discuss Drake so much, that's why. If y'all hated him, like y'all say you like y'all say you do right he wouldn't be having the fifth most play album in the

world as far as some sexy songs for you he wouldn't have the third most popular track in the world as far as nokea right he wouldn't have four charts uh four tracks literally charting currently on billboard as far as somebody loved me being the 64th most played track so uh oh no actually i got that mixed up uh give me a hug being the 60 second most played track right somebody loves me being the 64th most blade track and then die trying which i think is one of the more phenomenal tracks that drake has ever put out i know that's crazy to say but as far as experimental lane and it working it doesn't always work as a drake fan i know when he experiments and let's just say it doesn't always work out just listen to me padre to find out how bad it could go as far as him experimenting

so when he does experiment and finds like a pop anthem as far as die trying that he allegedly was trying to get justin bribor on right um um It's just an ultimate hit. And I think if Justin Bieber was on Dought Trying, it would have went up way higher on the charts. But of course, you know, they had party next door and Yuba to compliment Drake on this track, Dought Trine. Now, with that being said,

I just wanted to let y'all know that Drake is still doing phenomenal on the charts and to people saying that it's the end of Drake. And obviously, I said that he's never going to reach the prime that he was in when he dropped views, which I still think is the case. Because if he's going to keep beefing with UMG like he is, just know he's never going to reach those heights over 800,000 plus first week sales like he had with views where it was almost at a million, right?

From there, it's been not like a downward spiral, but it's been a downward trajectory slowly as far as the heights of views. And with him beefing with his label, let's just say that he's never going to reach his heights again. But he's still one of the most prominent acts in the world. So it's almost like LeBron going from what he was doing to 2018 to now. He's still one of the most prominent figures in his sport. He's just not at the top of his game.

So with that being said, click my link, sure in my bio. Let me know on one of my social media. What do you think about all of the league tracks from Drake as far as waiting to exhale? As far as Cheerios, as far as Ball Harbor, what was your favorite league track? And ultimately, what was your favorite line from this whole league pack, allegedly, from Drake's camp?
