Half of all of us right here, I want to let you know, you've changed our lives immensely. We've been able to do things for our family, for our kids, for our friends that we would have never imagined. We appreciate you, taking your harder money that you work your motherfucking ass off every day for. Oh, the cursive. And buying tickets and streaming songs and doing whatever you got to do. London, you are one of one place. I will love you for the rest of my life. Thank you for three of the best days of my life.

Get home safe. Good night. Now, ladies and gentlemen, that is what Drake said right after bringing out Vib's cartel. And when it comes to Vibes Cartel, safe to say, this man showed the most love for Drake saying, quote, IDGAF. There's a PG podcast, so I'm not going to let you know what that stands for. IDGAF, if you like us, because God loves us. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going to?

You know, every single month after month, it comes to my attention that what side seven did, ultimately, the ramifications are being lessened with time. And ultimately, the whole track list, the whole feature list, I meant, as far as the entire wireless festival, is beyond fantastic. As you have everybody in a mama popping out for night one, night two, night three to the point where Drake shut down wireless festival three different nights had three entirely different vibes and of course for the first night impressively bringing out Lauren Hill and then surprisingly bringing out Vanessa Carlton at the end of night two and then of course

night three brought out the one and only vibes cartel as if you didn't know This is his first time in 20 years since his 13-year prison sentence that he was in UK performing. And he did not disappoint as when it comes to Vibs Cartel, he performed and delivered a 90-minute set with his like, picture this romping shop with Spice. Also brought out Molly for the track I remember covering back in June 13th of this year, which was, the Shake It to the Max Fly remix. He basically had her perform that. If you didn't know the other artists on that track is Silent Addie, Skillabang, and Shenzia. But as far as Molly, he brought her out for that performance. And safe to say, when it comes to 90 minutes, Vives Cartel filled it up with pun intended vibes. As ultimately, it was very interesting because when you look at the

people that Drake brought out for the Wireless Festival, you come to realize that these artists have immense respect for Drake. Not only is he one of the most streamed artists of all times. So of course, yes, you have that incentivized factor as far as showing up to his concert. But these type of posts, where did it go? Was it that post? Yeah. These type of posts right here, you don't have to do this if your vibes cartel.

You don't have to say, I don't care if you're like us because God loves us. Best believe a lot of hip-hop artists out here playing the middle. And they're not going to be coming out and saying stuff like we don't care. Well, they're not going to be making anything that's a playoff of not like us in support of Drake. And here, Vib's cartel is literally showcasing the highest support for Drake, which is insane. Because guess what? People in his own genre would care less, would care less to do the same. Now, of course, they don't have to, but it showcases how when it comes to Drake in his ultimate stature in hip hop from the outside perspective, some people got to let them.

know that Drake is the top performer in your league. It's like if LeBron got all the hate from every single NBA player, right? If like LeBron was getting hate from from Steph Curry, Katie, who else, Janice, Shea, if they was all hating on LeBron, like for no reason, and then you come to realize that from an outside perspective, people in baseball, people in soccer, people in F1, when he look at hip-hop, they look at Drake. So if he's a representative and he's given all these alle-y-ups, isn't that what you want? You know what I'm saying? Sometimes I think to myself, I'm like, man, if I could choose to have one person at the top of the game, who would I choose and how would I want him to act?

Drake is exactly how I would want the number one, statistically speaking, the number one performer analytically to act, given out alley-ups left and right. I don't care if it's fake. The feature ain't fake. The multiple features he gives out the underground artist isn't fake. As for bats if it's fake. As lot of these artists in hip hop, I'm not going to say are ungrateful. But side seven getting his first tour and then to turn around in 2025 and call him a whole pedophile, it's just a lot of conversations to be had.

Maybe I'm just out of the loop on how this cultivated, right? But I just think a lot of the out of the youths Drake gives being on top of it. the game and something that does not need to happen when j z had the ball when he literally had the whole label in the palm of his hand and he said he was going to retire and guess what happened when he came back from retirement a lot of rappers that was doing damage on that label got put on shelves because guess what it's j z's time ain't no more handouts there's no handouts happening i don't care if i am the overview of the label and y'all look at me as a boss y'all album is getting put on the shelf while i get all the shine

Nobody's getting Jay-Z features. Nobody's getting the time of day while I run the game. So when it comes to that, I'm not saying that Drake's, I'm not saying that hip-hop isn't better hands with Drake than it is with Jay-Z. Ultimately, I am saying that Jay-Z did have title that he said was for us, and he sold it to the white man. Now, that's just a fact. You can look it up.

At the end of the day, Jay-Z did sell title to a white man. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on? So I went on a little tangent. I don't know if I could tell. I wanted a little tangent. I was literally, oh, I was talking about Vibs Cartel.

So it wasn't, you know, it's kind of tangent adjacent. But Vibs Cartel showing this much respect to Drake should showcase the hip-hop field how people outside of the genre look at Drake and his dominance and how he continues to carry the flag and be the mascot for hip-hop. Because analytically speaking, objectively, if you think about the top performing hip-hop for the past 10 to 20 years, it's been Drake.

So really can't do too much about that. that as far as at this point in time. But yeah, so Night 3 was phenomenal. Drake went crazy, of course, even working in his work verse amid his feud with A set Rocky. And of course, T's new music with Central C, which I was the first one to talk about that as well. When Face First was getting preview during the Iceman episode one, everybody was focusing on what did I miss in Supermax? Ain't nobody noticed that he was playing a whole.

I feel like it was like a one dance type beat and he was literally saying the words that's going to be on the beat instead of there was no vocals. It was just instrumental. But he was rapping and singing along to it and it sounded like a face first dance, a one dance type of track. That's what he kept saying face first, face first and kept like freestyle and he basically had the chorus down. He was given a sneak peek in a very unique way. He wasn't just playing the finished record like he was with Supermax. He played the instrumental and he basically gave us the chorus and how it would go as he was driving in the truck. And a lot of people just completely missed it.

But that's why, you know, notorious massive fact exists. Because when it comes to Face First, I covered that as soon as the episode came out. And I basically talked about how that has the biggest potential to be the most popular as far as when Iceman comes out. But, you know, I'm open to being wrong. But we've seen with the performance that Central C is going to be on that track. It's a house vibe. Central C is going to be on it. And it's titled Face First.

So ultimately, as far as a lot of people giving Drake, his credit as far as Drake shutting down Wireless Fest for three nights straight is something that a lot of people can't do as far as going from R&B to a to a rap to a global list and they all have hits on it like not one night was uh starving for hits a lot of these nights was filled with hits you had come and see me day one uh Marvin's room feel no ways hours in silence jungle jaded I mean we all jada jada is like a crazy classic cian tower um oh and then he got to his latest okay and then night two he went into his rap uh sensation went to sickle mode non-stop uh want to know with uh uk artist dave which we're not going to get into the uk versus u s artists let's just say drake was he was tripping

a little bit with that so um nokea somebody loves me uh rich baby daddy knife talk rich uh rich flex night three globe it goes completely left from rnb and rap and goes completely worldwide as face first is literally the the first song that he showcased with that worldwide appeal as far as iceman episode one and now we come to realize that central c is going to be on the track supposedly as far as what the wireless festival showed as far as central cc being on the track and rapping along to it now he he could always get taken off because the album's out not out yet they could always have a falling out but as right now since racy is on the face first track then you have come closer brings out pop-con then you have who told you signs controller

find your love work passion fruit i mean these are just straight undeniable hits and he switched genres completely every single night so anyways before you guys say i'm doing uh tricks on it you guys see that's the problem essentially i've just letting you know that drake is doing phenomenal as far as showcasing why and why he will continue to be the mascot and just the goat of hip hop. So that being said, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know in one of my social media.

What do you think about vibes cartel, giving Drake that absolute most, the highest praise you could give as far as a musician co-signing him and the turmoil of his beef, literally making the flip off of, you know, the pedophile anthem against him and saying that, you know, God loves us,

you know what I'm saying? So at the end of the day, click my link to you my bio let me know one of my social media is what do you think about drake shutting down wireless for three nights straight and ultimately what was your favorite moment that you've seen on the internet or in person if you went at uh when it comes to drake at the wireless festival for 2025
