Getting into the sixth track, the six new track that was revealed in the fear of missing out live stream, safe to say, when it comes to one of my favorite tracks off of the entire newer music playlist, I think this may be my favorite one. Now, I may be a little biased, because over here at notorious Mass Effect, you know we cover the gaming and music IPs that notoriously affect the masses, but of course, when it comes to the official playlist of Drake, as far as the Fear of Missing Out Live stream, I got my dope on me.

It may or may not be in my description box below because Drake said whoever missed out on a fear of missing out live stream, y'all couldn't listen to the track after the fact. You know, it was basically gone from everywhere. So when it comes to me archiving and being able to give the link, hopefully y'all enjoy the efforts, you know what I'm saying? Oh, come on, Drusky. Come on, Drusky, they ain't gotta do all that. Give them some praise.

But definitely make sure to rate this five stars. So anyways, getting back into my track by track review, because of course when it comes to me putting together the newer track playlist for the people, people who missed out. Safe to say it was extensive, which is why me saying that Vices was my favorite track, I don't think that's a small statement because you have the choose in Texas remix on here. You have, well, you would think the Janus FTFU remix would be better, but it was not.

You have the Don Tolover track on here, Cold Shoulder. You have classic, the extended edition, but still my favorite, my all, basically, at all the 10 tracks that were revealed. as far as newer tracks. Vices is my favorite by far. I kid you not. But then, you know what I'm saying?

I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? I think it is fantastic because, of course, Drake is showcasing that

not only is he still in his hip hop in R&B bag, but when it comes to the respect put on pop and country artists and things of that nature, I will say this is the final affinity stone for my boy Drake. You know what I'm saying?

Is it okay? I got my dope on me? Because, To be fair, Drake is my favorite artist, but I am very aware of how this man collects all the infinity stones, collects all the accents in the world. All right, basically, Drake is good at assimilating. Drake is assimilation at his finest, and I'm glad to see he's taking over the country streets. You know what I'm saying? I know that ain't who I think it is.

So that is why Vice is my favorite track off of this because of, I forget which one it was. I think it was made of honor where the rusty intro happened. Was it made of honor? I think it was. If I looked it up, let me see. So there was this track titled Rusty Intro, right? And it was so phenomenal because this man Drake was singing, but also, you know, getting into his rap bag. So when it comes to that, my phone is not working right now.

See, that's what happens when you got two phones like Kevin Gates. One in the world? Okay, here we go. Yo, I was fighting with my Android. See, that's what, you know, I'm not to get that duo, man, no cap. I mean, I'm at to get that. You guys. That's crazy.

Anyways, I can't use my other. Anyways, yeah, y'all, let me see. So basically, when it comes to Iceman, the main thing when you look at Rusty Intro, it's off of the Made of Honor album. So that's the wrong one. It's off of the Habibti album. Here we go, yeah. So the first track off of Habibti is Rusty Intro.

That is why I like Vices so much, because I think overall, his country sound is very high quality. And I will say that if Drake was to put out a country album, if we get any type of 10 to 12 track album around that rusty intro quality, around that vices quality, we may have an experimental classic on our hands from one of the greatest artists of all time. Is it okay? I got my dope on me? Because of course, not only is Drake one of the better artists when it comes to switching it up, but if he was to put out an entire country album, And it was actually serviceable. I think a lot of people would start to put even more respect on his name because that would be difficult to pull off because you already know that they don't want us over there in that area in the first place, especially once you've seen how Shibuzi was treated with the bar song breaking all type of records. You know, they basically, every single time the manager got up there at the AMA Awards or the country music awards, whatever that was called, CMAs, whatever. Basically, they was like, their manager would say, we've been kicking Shibuzi for a long time.

We've been putting them numbers with country songs. You know, they just always downplay it. So I love when black acts get into the country genre and do it phenomenal, which is why I like Cowboy Carter so much. So anyways, and also I like Shibuzzi's album as well. You know, when you look at black acts getting into the country genre, I think it's very apparent that we're really good at country. And for some reason, we're kept out of it as far as the certain awards.

that could be one at the highest level. Hmm, I wonder why that's happening. You guys. See, that's the problem. It's almost like when they didn't let blacks in the basketball, you know what I'm saying? All right, my fault. Y'all don't want me to get too deep in y'all. You know what I mean?

But when it comes to the country aspect, I think black artists are really good at doing it. And it's very interesting how the CMAs is like mostly a white award show, especially at the top. You know, when it comes to the CMAs and the amount of white artists they give awards to, and then Shibuzzi has one of the greatest, objectively speaking, one of the more successful, because of course quality is subjective. But objectively speaking, one of the most successful country tracks ever. And he gets up there to the award shows and gets treated like that.

I mean, it kind of shows you what you're dealing with. So for Drake to hop in that field, I'll be interested to see if he could take over and basically showcase how the black culture can mobilize and take over the country. I'm not going to say culture, but, you know, we could notoriously affect the masses in their arena as well. So with that being said, Vices is my favorite track. Hopefully that was a great explanation to tell you that. So if you're on Spotify, definitely make sure to comment down below what was your favorite track off of the Thumelow live stream.

You know, your boy got your cover. So with that being said, let's get into the next track, which is Choosing Texas remix featuring Don Tolliver.
