Look, the reality is this you do have to have a real fan base to a certain extent, right? You have to have people who are really consuming the music and your song has to actually be moving around organically. Once it's that, then they'll push the button on it and it just depends like it's a campaign. It could be like it's like a 12-week campaign and it might be 60 grand, 70 grand, whatever it is. That's it. Oh, yeah. To have the number one song in that 70 grand the ROI is crazy because that 70 grand might bring you back to a 300. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a sad day in history. But then, you know what I'm saying?

I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? You know, of course, when starting off with the biggest musician, objectively speaking, in the world, I just want to thank all the support for my Taylor Swift coverage.

You guys. And when it comes to that, safe to say, the swifties have been supporting the notorious mass effect to the point where I took my time getting into this Drake lawsuit because at the end of the day, this is the conclusion. We have closed or ended the chapter of Drake versus UMG.

As of right now, because of course they say he can appeal, but when it comes to the biggest musician in the industry, safe to say, I've been breaking down Taylor Swift like a kilo of Milis Cyrus. But when it comes to my favorite musician, which is Drake, Aubrey Graham, is very much an L in the most unthinkable way because of course somebody said on the internet and shout out to you man you you are you a funny individual this man said Drake lost the black way and he lost the white way but then you know what I'm saying like damn look at the state of hip hop like what's going on so the thing I'm referring to as far as Drake losing is of course his case versus UMG has been dismissed.

And when I say that, not only was it dismissed, it was dismissed in full, meaning that Drake can appeal, but guess what? It's probably not going to go through. I think the main thing about this is that when Judge Janet A. Vargas from U.S. District Court in New York, which is funny, because of course I was in New York around the same time that this news dropped, dismissed it, and basically said, that the defamation part of UMG allegedly published in promoting Kendrix not like us despite knowing it falsely accused Drake of being a pedophile it that part was dismissed and essentially she said it's not a factual assertion and that the lyrics were were ruled as quote figurative hyperbolic and part of a heated rap ballad And then she went on to say

It was perhaps Quote this is a quote from judge Vargis Quote Perhaps the most infamous rap battle And the genre's history Now ladies and gentlemen Let me tell you one thing

If the judge start talking about Objectively how great the rat battle was Safe to say you already know what's sashi on I know that ain't who I think it is I know they ain't the judge up there talking about how great the rap battle is Like hold up now We try and get into this payola Embodding Allegation

which is why I started off the segment the way I started off because of course I was looking at this lawsuit being dismissed and I was thinking to myself you know aside from breaking down Taylor Swift like Akila or Miley Cyrus we also broke down the whole lawsuit to the point where I still have it to this day so I went through it and basically asked it specifically what parts of the lawsuit did she address as far as payola and you would not believe what it said so now when we get into it that definitely make sure to rate this five stars because nobody out there is breaking down full documents like i am over here at the notorious mass effect um academics does it to a certain point but as far as the whole lawsuit uh i'm baking i'm breaking it down page by page i'm gonna give you specifics to where you could go as far as the lawsuit that i'm talking about as far as the umg defamation of paola case so anyways make sure to rate this five stars and share this as somebody who you think would enjoy an expert analysis of the umg case anyways The most interesting part to me was how the judge dismissed the case, even though the biding allegations to me was the most substantial.

That seemed like the best attack for Drake as far as talking about the biding allegation because that's technically illegal. But guess what? Judge Vargas basically came out and said she doesn't care. Like she literally said she doesn't care. Well, not literally, but, you know, figuratively speaking. Because what she actually said is that Drake. failed to provide consumer harm or no to prove consumer harm under n y general business so new y general business law and of course it said 349 i had to look up what in the world that meant

because i'm not a lawyer it says section 349 is this context referring to a specific part of the texas finance code in chapter 349 it deals with penalties and liabilities regarding consumer finance And this section outlines the conditions, limitations, and legal responsibilities involving acts such as charging, excess interests, licensing venue for actions, limitations periods for legal claims, and liability for noncompliance with chapter provisions. So when it comes to that, she said chapter 4, as far as it not proving consumer harm under New York general business law in chapter 349. it basically acknowledged that UMG's alleged 30,000 bought payments for not like us streams in section 2 of page 6 of the lawsuit once again we read off the whole lawsuit if you want to hear me break that down specifically before you know the case being dismissed because obviously we have up-to-day news now but when it comes to Drake versus UMG when did I break

down that lawsuit Drake versus let me see Drake how my goodness I've talked about Drake a lot I I ain't go kept to you. UMG fires back over a lawsuit. Okay, that happened March 18, 2025. I don't know if that's the main thing. Discovery, April 3rd, 2025. Drake, a men's defamation lawsuit against UMG to include Super Bowl April 224.

Okay, so I broke down this lawsuit a lot. I ain't a lot to you. I'm trying to see, because I kept bringing up the lawsuit in full. So I would type in Drake lawsuit, analytic dreams with a Z to see all my coverage of the lawsuit. My latest one was April 24th, 2025.

And breaking down the whole lawsuit, basically gave you a bigger picture of how UMG's response to Drake was specifically focusing on the defamation. They did not want to touch the payola with a 10-foot pole, which is why when the judge comes out and says that she dismisses the whole lawsuit, even though the bonding allegations she claims is true. Or no, that Drake's team is claim is true. the judge literally said it didn't rule or no it didn't deceive or injure consumers but then you know I'm saying I was like damn look at the state of hip hop like what's going on so you're telling me if a major label wanted to buy a song or an album as long as it doesn't deceive or injure consumers and we should just let it fly I guess this is really the steroid era of the music industry because the judge just said that um the 30,000 dollar bought payment for not like us, which is section two,

pay six of the lawsuit didn't deceive or injure consumers. She didn't even say oh, I think it's flat out lie that you're saying that they pay for streams. She just saying it didn't deceive. I'm, I'm specifically focusing on this because I think this is a very, um, interesting, um, maneuver to evade accountability on UMG side. Which, to be fair, the whole music industry runs off this type of marketing rollout. I always say in any land as far as influencer lane, if you don't have a marketing budget with a solid team behind you, then you probably aren't going to be considered a real player in an influencer lane because there's a lot of people using certain maneuvers with teams behind them that will put them ahead of you to the point where if you look at the current market share and because of Taylor Swift, it's kind of wonky right now as far as the actual market share others which is and let me let me

actually i can't screen because that's going to pop up but um let me say that i'm just going to pull this up right quick actually i'm just going to tell you so others which is um smaller labels and independent acts have a whopping 1% currently usually is between 5 to 6% the biggest musician in the world just drop so UMG currently has 90% of the entire music market share warner has 6% Sony has 3% so when it of that I already broke that down as far as my Taylor Swift coverage if you just wanted to see some of that as far as the market share me specifically bringing up the photos for that but the main thing I want to get into is that being an independent influencer and an independent creator which is same thing is it's very hard unless you have a marketing strategy like I play I'm gonna keep referring

to the clip I played at the beginning because it's really poignant as far as what I'm trying to get across you have to have an organic fan bitch it's not there's no world where nobody messes with you You have a marketing team and now everybody messes with you. That's not how it works. Usually you need an organic foundation, right? And now you build upon that with your marketing team. It's safe to say. That is how you start to be in the big leagues as far as the influencer.

Now maybe I'm just talking. You know what I'm just talking? Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm saying? I only do this for a living. You know what I'm saying? So anyways, I'm getting back into Drake. Pause.

Hey, yo. You guys. See, that's the problem. This dismissal was very surprising to me because of that specific fact, because of the payola and bots being such a real argument for Drake's team. I never thought the defamation was a real thing. I mean, come on now. It's a rap battle. Jay-Z instead worse things to Nas.

Nas is worse things to Jay-Z. R.P. to notorious, B.I.G. and Tupac, they literally died over their beef. So real things have happened because of a rap battle. The judge is looking at this and looking at the defamation and saying, to yourself. I mean, if Joe Budding didn't say one thing, he basically laid the groundwork for a lot of Drake slander. But one of the main things he said recently is that the break breaking news, Drake is a B-I-T-C-H. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going to say the actual word? But I spelled it out for you, right? So anyways,

that's basically what a lot of people are looking at Drake as as far as the defamation side of the lawsuit. But for me, I always focus on a paola, which is why I read off the specifics of what the judge said to the payola point before I get into the rest of it. So let's get into the rest of it right now. Judge Vargas dismissed the lawsuit declaring not like a non-actionable opinion, not a factual assertion. The lyrics were ruled as figurative, hyperbolic, and part of a heated rap battle. And she said, quote, the average listener is not under the impression that a disc track is the product of a thoughtful or disinterested investigation conveying fact-checked verifiable content the judge also went on to describe the feud as perhaps the most infamous rap battle in the genre's history which

you know it definitely is you know i see the hold let me look up judge barge you know let me let me let me let me let me find out she she on the she on the shepherd okay i ain't going to do it but anyways getting back into the act what she was saying. She seemed like she's a real size of a fan. Perhaps the most infamous rap battle in the genre's history, which, you know, to be fair, I was saying that as well. Like, I do think this is the biggest rap battle we've ever seen.

Obviously, notorious Tupac, J.Z. Nas laid the groundwork for this Drake and Kendrick back and forth. But that's basically what she said. And then she came out and said that when it comes to the UMG and Drake League, legal battle overall UMG statements were quote the outset or no from the outset this suit was an affront to all artists in their creative expression and never should have seen the light of day end quote and they have another quote we're pleased with the course dismissal and look forward to continuing our work promoting Drake's music and investing in his career end quote now let me let me you let you all in on a little secret if you go against the major label there's things that happen to you now

i'm no conspiracy theorist so i'm not going to say anything crazy but drake's albums that's on the charts safe to say album as far as the one that has the most hands in the pot is currently his most popular take care is the 26 most played album in the world some sexy songs for you is the 28th most played album in the world now some sexy songs for you are still doing you know still performing well but you're probably thinking well take care is just his best album ladies and gentlemen let me tell you something when push a tee said you signed to one dude who signed to another dude who signed to five people he was talking about this take care album safe to say so many hands are in the pot for this take care album that of course drake is still making money like nobody's saying drake is broke

but when it comes to albums that drake would prefer to be a chart topping i think take care is towards the latter as far as which album he would prefer to be the most popular because now he has more hands-on control i mean you just look at the credits ymcb slash republic you look at some sexy songs for you ovo slash republic which is uh technically under sony because of the partnership but when it comes to that drake is specifically having more masters and royalties over the his later's out later albums because guess what he has more uh negotiating power now when take care came out everybody and a mama was getting a percentage off of that drake album because you know he was getting help from a lot of people j prince bird man umg i mean like i keep saying if you already

have an organic foundation you need a marketing team to boost you into the big dogs as far as the big leagues now when it comes to drake i think the take care being the 26 most played uh uh uh Drake album in the world is basically showcasing that, hey, we made you. You see how your latest album is not even more popular than Take Care, which we probably have more masters and royalties over. We're letting you know that we made you, we could make another you, and what you think is going to happen organically is far from the case. So, Drake's team, going back to the lawsuit, Drake's team came out and said, quote, we intend to appeal today's ruling and look forward to the court appeals, the court of appeals reviewing it, end quote. So this lawsuit has been dismissed in full.

Drake can appeal. And the main thing that's being pointed out is the First Amendment and a victory, a major victory for the First Amendment. It says to precedent reinforcing that rap distrax are artistic opinion. and not factual defamation. So the reason why Drake would think it's factual defamation is because Side 7, I mean, Kendrick put his house on the Nalika's cover and then his house got shot up days after the Nalikas track. I mean, you know, as far as, let me see, Drake Mansion.

Let me see, I can find this right quick. Okay, I know I cover this. Yeah, here we go. May 7th, 2024. I cover shooting outside of Drake's mansion injuring security guard. Now, when you look at the release date of Not Like Us, and then you look at when the happenings of the mansion shooting, and then you look at the happenings of the mansion shooting as far as the date,

safe to say you can understand. And, you know, that's aside from the PDF allegations, right? You can see why Drake is so upset over Kendrick being able to put his house on his cover to this day the insider report is UMG approached Kendrick's team you know my sources could be out made it up at this point in time y'all should know um um um um umg went to kentrick's team there was hey can you change the cover and guess what guess what kentrick's team said hey if we change the cover we're going to take the whole song down mind you not like us was putting up an exorbitant amount of numbers to the point where it's probably going to end up being one of the

most popular tracks of all time. UMG saw the dollar amount coming in, like you heard at the beginning of this video, Russ talking about certain like streaming allegations of bots to blow up a certain track. Not like us was already out of here organically. So now you're going to push the button on it. You're about to make a generation, generational amount of money off of one particular track. UMG looking at the bottom line basically said to themselves, we might as well just let him keep the track up because we don't want him to take the whole entire

track down over a cover art so that specifically not being able to be used in the lawsuit to the point where it's not dismissed entirely that's another red flag to me not only is the payola bot allegations i think that's a real argument not only is the um the the house being on a not like us his house being on a not like us covered to the point where his mansion was shot at i don't even know she a comment on that. Hold on me see. Did the judge Vargas? Was that name? Vargas?

Comment on the house shooting. Connecting to not like us track. Because that's the biggest point to me. I think that would be an obvious for Drake's team. But you never know.

Hey, it seemed like they just don't care. Oh, she actually did comment on it. Okay. So Judge Jen and Vargas And mind you, I have the whole document. So this is basically what I'm going into. I have the whole document uploaded and stuff. So she commented on the Drake shooting at, you know, the Toronto Mansion. And let's see.

She rejected this ruling the lyrics were non-actionable opinion in a rap battle context. Hyperbolic, not factual assertions, including inciting verifiable harm. If Drake's security getting shot and have a real, wounds from the mansion shooting is not verifiable harmed and I don't know what it is. She did note that the song's cover art depicted Drake's home with the sex offender markers, but emphasize listeners wouldn't view a disc track as quote, fact check verifiable content. The shooting wasn't deemed casually linked as the fuse rhetoric, which protected expression. But then, you know what I'm saying?

I was like, damn, look at the state of hip. hop like what's going on? Yeah, some of this stuff is just like, once again, I thought the defamation was the worst part of this lawsuit. But for the lawsuit to get dismissed in full, it's very surprising. And not only because I'm a Drake fan, but also because if you are a rapper and get into a rap battle and somebody puts your whole house on their disc track and then your house gets shot up days after, safe to say, you would probably be.

try to pull some strings to get that cover art taken off by linking into that shooting. But as the judge just said, the shooting wasn't deemed casually linked as the fused rhetoric was protected, protected expression. Hmm. Well, honestly, if I was petty, and I'm not, you know, I'm not petty man. But if I was to give petty advice to Drake, I guess it's fair game. I guess it's time to put Kendrick's house on your next track and see what happens. happens. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop.

Like, what's going on? But anyways, um, getting into the rest of the lawsuit, that's basically it. The main thing I was wanting to get into is, um, that's basically, it was so much as far as the defamation and stuff I was going to talk about. That was the main points I was wanting to get into. I guess let's get into the rest of the document because I know people have been waiting for this. Like I said, I've been covering Taylor Swift. And they've been, like the Swift, he's been supporting me to the point. I was like, hold on now. I may be a you guys I know just flat I'm not thirsty but you get the point but uh

safe to say I covered the entire music industry so you know I had to cover the biggest artist but let's get back into my favorite artists so getting into the rest of the lawsuit I specifically wanted to know what she talked about as far as to pay over and stuff right um so we're going to call out pages and certain parts of the 38 page lawsuit right so she dismissed the lawsuit we already talked about that uh judge varcats found no substantial evidence that UMG's alleged use of bots to artificially inflate not like us streams or pale like tactics such as secret payments or reduced licensing rates to radio stations which is another point but you know it's whatever um that didn't deceive or harm consumers so she

basically said yeah she basically said we don't care about biding if it doesn't deceive or harm consumers well you heard it here musicians time to buy away man as long as you don't deceive a harm which you know if you buy you're definitely deceiving consumers but you know that's a whole another argument um and her in her set uh in her opinion of the lawsuit she noted that that drake's complaint alleged umg paid 30 000 okay we already talked about that and once again i'm gonna tell you why she went away from it again uh as reference in the texas ruled 202 petition section 2 page 6 of the lawsuit vargas ruled this was insufficient to meet the section 340 requirement which once again is the Texas finance code chapter 349 which deals with

penalties and liabilities regarding consumer finance transactions so anyways Vargas ruled this was insufficient to meet 349's requirements of consumer oriented deception causing injury she cited insufficient to meet 349's requirements of consumer oriented deception causing injury she cited industry norms arguing that promotional strategy including paid streams or airplay boost are a standard what standard practices in the music marketing but then you know what I'm saying like damn look at the state of hip hop like what's going on Vargas emphasized that consumers aware of streaming metrics manipulate to I hold up now that's not it manip I got spell it out now

manipulability there we go i'm saying i don't use that word a lot i'm never going to use that word again weren't misled into believing quote not like a success was solely organic ladies and gentlemen these are actual like quotes from the judge it's not just something i made up um and the reason i say that is because it sounds so asinine that the judge just come out and say that nobody cares about biting because the consumers already know it's not solely organic like what in the are we teaching our youth? You guys. See, that's the problem.

This is basically showcasing that if life is too hard, ladies and gentlemen, there's always the easy way out. If you're not getting enough plays, then just buy it. Because, of course, like Judge Bark has just said, nobody believes that certain tracks are just solely organic. So anyways, let's continue. This lacks a provable consumer harm beyond Drake's personal brand devaluating during contract talks. and that is why it was dismissed so as far as private right for harassment um drake's complaint linked to bots and paola to her harassment claim asserting that UMG's amplification of not like us uh turned him into a pariah um i don't know what that means uh vargas dismissed this ruling that

new york law does not provide a private right of action for harassment under 349 or related statutes she acknowledged Drake's argument that inflating streams and airplay section two page four of the lawsuit amplified defamatory lyrics but found no legal basis for a harassment claim tied to the deceptive practices the judge noted that any harassment stemmed from the song's content ruled as non-actionable opinion not the promotion methods this severed the casual link between by slash paola in a comp comp comp comp comp how you said this when the world compensable it's not comprehensible it's y'all chill out it's it's it's is missing the age what the world is compensable is that like compensate why don't they just say

that anyways my fault injury um further supporting dismissal yeah i don't know i don't know if there's much making sense of y'all it's not making sense to me um even if bots and paola boots did not like us such as the super bowl half-time show such as the grammy performances vargas which is a judge ruled the lyrics remain non-actionable opinion a quote non-actionable opinion in quote within the rap battle context she described the feud as perhaps the most infamous rap battle in the genre's history where i talked about that and she said quote the average listener is not under the impression that a dish track is the product of a thoughtful or disinterested investigation conveying fact-checked fact-checked verifiable content it's not making sense to me I ain't on not to you this aligned with her findings that lyrics accusing Drake of pedophilia were figurative hyperbolic not factual assertions or a reasonable a reasonable listener would take as true interesting interesting

Vargas held UMG not liable as the song's promotional boost didn't transform opinion into fact you guys see that's the problem she noted that even this is a quote she noted that quote

even apparent statements of fact may assume the character of opinion amid epithets fiery rhetoric or hyperbole, end quote, dismissing defamation liability tied to bots or payola. The judge didn't directly address the Texas case payola allegations as far as section one pages 5 through 6, but focus on New York's legal framework. So essentially speaking, she didn't acknowledge a lot of things as far as appeal to abots basically just said as far as section

349 they can't do anything about it crazy crazy day in history UMG's spokesperson called the suit quote in affront to creative expression while drake's team said they look forward to the appeal well that i mean that's it ladies and gentlemen as far as uh drake's lawsuit the defamation was the weakest part in my opinion i never thought that it would just get dismissed entirely um especially after all the money that drake's team spent i think they're definitely going to have to take this l and hopefully just learn from it because i don't think suing after a rap battle is ever the right direction especially if you're a rapper. So I've always criticized it from that standpoint. And with his team looking to appeal,

I'm not going to tell Drake that they're trying to milk you for your money. But all I'm I'm going to say is it doesn't make any sense why they're going to appeal it because at this point in time, this battle is basically it. This battles over. Like that one person on the internet said, you lost the white way and you lost the black way. Sad day of history. I mean, you look at Drake and you say to himself, I know that ain't who I think it is. It's crazy how the black side and the white side

mixed together to be one of the notorious ASS whoppings we've ever seen in the hip hop industry. So anyways, with that being said, I guess we could talk about what's next for Drake. You know, after breaking this down like a kilo of Miley Cyrus because y'all been waiting for this so I didn't want to, you know, shirk a coat or cut any of the corners

as far as covering this lawsuit. I broke down the specific part, of the lawsuit i thought it was a uh not a home run but basically i thought it was a great point and as you can see because of the the the texas whatever the section 349 the texas finance code and the limitations i guess they can't address it specifically and whenever she did address it specifically she literally just said that she that um that it didn't per it didn't have any consumer harm under the new york general business law which is the section uh three 49 and she went on to say that it didn't deceive or injure consumers so ladies and gentlemen

if you're a musician out there i guess you could just bought away as long as it doesn't deceive or injure consumers make that make sense so like i say i always try to keep the 8-1 and 92 if she would have gave an actual fair reason as far as why she dismissed the paola part i would have came in and say that drake should have filed the lawsuit well i don't think he should yeah there's no lawsuit that makes sense after losing a rap battle. But as far as the payola aspect, I thought that made the most sense as far as in the lawsuit. The reasoning for dismissal is a slap in the face

to people who point out certain payola tactics and look for some type of compensation because of it. Because safe to say, independent creators out there, you would think this is a W for you, but just know, if somebody has a lot more money than you, and they're already popular in the influencer space and they already have a marketing team and they're using bots and streams you're basically ending your career because you cannot compete where you can't compare so if you don't have the bag to pay certain marketing teams to stay at the level that they're at safe to say that you just won't have a chance which is why the market share is always around five to six percent as far as others meaning independence and small subsidiary subsidiaries, or not small subsidiaries, small labels. So when it comes to UMG Warner and Sony being at the top of the game,

it's going to be like that for quite some time, because guess what? They don't care about bots, as long as it doesn't deceive or injure the consumer. That's basically it. I don't really have anything else to get into. Drake and Vibs Cartel. Let me see why I had this at. Yeah, just right here. Drake and Vibes Cartel, apparently they're going on tour, so shout out to them.

October 26th to 27th. going to be the first ever Toronto show for Vibs Cartel and it's at the Scott Bank Arena tied to Drake's birthday celebrations which is October 30th and was hot was added no no my fault a third day October 30th was added due to high demand after the initial shows sold out fast so you can get your tickets now it may be sold out because apparently this is selling like hot cakes I mean definitely going to see academics at this show I mean if there's one thing academics loves besides Drake is Vibbs Cartel.

So when it comes to that, that show's going to be, I think it's going to be phenomenal. The way that Drake shut down wireless, I mean, my whole coverage of that, which, you know, shout out to y'all for supporting that wireless coverage. But as far as wireless, the way that Drake just shut down wireless, as far as night one, night two, night three,

just having different genres bringing out legends such as Lauren Hill, Vibs Cartel, Vanessa Carlton, basically just showcase that Drake is one of the greatest music of all time so he's going to be all right to give him actual um actual um actual um advice as far as after this lawsuit i know a lot of people are saying just put out good music i mean you put out Nokia and people act like that wasn't like you know you put out a hit such as a Nokia and people are still asking for another one so you already know the expectations for you it's just on a whole

other level so now i think the main thing to get around this is to put that i messed up by suing in your album you got to put that on the album if you don't come out and say why did i sue i should have never sued you need a flip it i need a double triple entendre about i should have never sued and that was weak of me you have to you have to get into that introspective bag of not suing as a rapper you have to get into that bag or else people are not going to take to your album as something that's a generational type album because this is like it's not a make-a-break album because it's Drake. But the content is make a break. This album's going to let us know if you're going to take accountability or if you're just going to say everybody's hating on me. Same thing I pointed

out with Kendrick's album, GNX. Side 7, I mean, White Tank's Hop is out here talking about how nobody likes him. He doesn't like the industry. He doesn't mess with the industry. Whole time he's one the most Grammy awarded hip-hop artists in the world. That type of, um, that type of ignorance to your perception to the industry you can't be having so like side seven did you can't be having that type of ignorance people want you to come out and keep it eight more than 92 and that essentially is letting them know that you messed up with the lawsuit should have never filed it and of course you're going to stick to good music but you do have to address the lawsuit at some point you do have to address the lawsuit because that's not going to go away unless

you address it So anyways, that's my advice to Drake. I'm not just going to say, just put out good music like all the other people because, guess what? He's been putting out Nokia. Party Next Door is in Drake's album still to this day, as far as this year, it's one of my top albums of the year. They, somebody loves you. Or somebody loves me. What was the other one?

I forget the other one. Somebody loved me and there's not Drake, some sexy songs for you review. But basically, what he did for, what? What he did on some sexy songs, giving us Nokia. Oh, yeah, Nokia was off this album, too. See, you know what I mean? People say put out good music. You put out album in February 14th that had Nokia on it,

one of the biggest smashes in hip-hop as far as in the year of 2025. And people are like, just put out good music, man. So I'm giving you actual advice that specific. So talk about the lawsuit, how you should have never filed it, give some type of double triple entendre. And that should be one of the hard-hitting tracks as far as the lyrical tracks on you really deep diving into your mistake. of the battle I think that would be I think that would be very poignant because

nobody believes you won the battle I believe family matters is still the best track of the of the rap battle but at the end of the day people want you to specifically say I shouldn't have sued which I think is fair as a rapper you should never sue after you lose a rap battle so anyways um yeah Drake Vibs Cartel October 26 October 27 and apparently October 30th as well this follows the 2025 wireless festival I talked about that and so if you could get your tickets for the third date as far as October 30th because of high demand it may that that date also may be sold out but hey you know at least I'll let you know beforehand if it's actually not so y'all let me know

because uh Drake and Vibs Cartel in one place definitely going to shut it down like it did and wireless so that being said click my link true in my bio let me know one of my social media's what do you think about drake's lawsuit versus umg again dismissed entirely and do you believe that drake can come back and if you do can you give drake advice as far as what he should do with his upcoming album iceman
