I want to start off by saying if you're not following analytic dreams video podcast on Spotify, then you're definitely missing out and especially for this segment as I have a lot to get off my chest. And one of the things is representation and the lack of it. And when we do get representation, it's interesting the selections they make whenever giving certain awards, right? I think there's optics to everything and the way that the VMA is just blatantly disregarded the optics for the first ever and I kid you not the first ever best Afrobeats award but before I get into that because of course I'm gonna get into that but more importantly Feed who is collaborated with Afrobeast artist Rema on a new single titled

Bubaloo. I think that's how you say. I swear I'm not trying to be funny. It's now out on all platforms. It's part of feeds up in his F-E-I-D if you wanted to know the artist's actual name. Also, I have his Instagram up on the screen. But basically, as for his upcoming album, More, no let Tamas, Al-A-Lah. I don't know. I say that, bro. Oscar Redad. Hey, I ain't going to cap to you. I don't speak that language, but I try my best.

Anyways, this single is for his upcoming album. Now, let's get into the more hilarious fact, right? The first ever Best Afrobees Award at the 2023 MTV VMAs, which is the Video Music Awards, went to, and I kid you not, went to Selena Gomez. Now, y'all have to, y'all got look up for yourself what ethnicity is Selena Gomez. Because at the end of the day, like, this is not something of a derogatory sentiment towards

Selena Gomez. But it's like if the BET Awards had the first ever Caucasian award for the best Caucasian rapper in America, right? And it went to logic. It doesn't make sense to have the first ever Afrobees Award go to an artist. that's not an Afrobee artist I don't care if it is Rema's track

The optics of it is horrendous The first ever Afrobe's best award Goes to Selena Gomez Like come on bro Like if you don't believe me I swear I'm not making this up Here it is

For you to see yourself Them accept the award For The best Afrobees First of all, I want to give big thanks to God. I want to give big thanks to my fans. Make some noise. I want to give big nights to my team.

Big shout out to Selena. I want to say I love you from the bottom of my heart. You know how uncomfortable Selena Gomez has to be accepting this award? Like, it looks like she doesn't want to be part of the speech, right? Because Selena Gomez is probably thinking the same thing to everybody at home, me included, and you. are probably thinking the first ever afrobees award and it goes to selina gomez obviously once again i don't want to have to keep reiterating that rema is a part of the track but from an optic standpoint

it's just downright horrendous so that's besides the point that's all i wanted to get into so for the the more important fact is feed has a new service single out titled boobaloo with rema and it marks the first collaboration with rema and feed basically gained garnered popular no garnered a fan base through his remix of calm down featuring selina gomez so that's rima that's rema's remix of calm down featuring selina gomez is the one that won the best afrobees award you know it's Don't get me started that But basically boobaloo Which hopefully I'm saying it right

I'm probably not bubble lu It's probably bubble lu I don't care bro Hey boobaloo Bubbalu you know Sometimes people got to do both But anyways Feed

Is obviously going to put that album That's set to be released September 29th So if you want to listen to Fees album That's when it's going to be released September 29th this is basically just the single for it and includes his previous singles and hits like nina bonita

featuring sean paul uh fern foxo 151 with icon vinti con amigo and the album features collaborations with ryan castro ningo flow and a lot of other uh rising uh chilean is i say it Hopefully I'm saying it right on September 28th feed will appear on Amazon music live hosted by rapper two chains where he is expected to perform recent hits and new music from the album which is something that Amazon is trying to do more of is have artists perform the new music live on their platform which I don't see that happening because why would an artist who doesn't need it doesn't need a promotion. Why would they go on your platform,

which is inherently promoting Amazon while also trying to promote the home music? I don't think that works out because I remember the weekend did that for Don FM, I believe. He had a whole live stream, but that's the weekend. Now every artist can afford to take attention away from the album just for the fact that they're performing, right? They just want people to stream the album.

If 20,000 people tune into a live stream to listen to an album, guess what? That doesn't count as 20,000 streams on DSPs. So I think people would rather them go listen to the album and then in the future when they announce a tour, then you can come hear them perform it. But I don't really think that's a good model for artists to promote their album as it released because now you're competing with yourself. 20,000 people are listening to you basically sing the album in a live stream rather than go on a DSP where you get more revenue from as far as the long term. So yeah, I don't think that's the biggest look for an artist. But that's it. That's all I really have to say because, hey, at the end of the day, man,

you know, as black people in society, you know, we're just out here doing it, right? You know, like the first time they want to recognize our Afrobees type artist, you know, it goes to Selena Gomez. And it just reminds me of that key and P, a key and peel, I believe, skit, where they made fun of just representation and the lack of just just the lack of you know the word they're just not cognizant of the optics and that's the best way i can put it for lack of a better term so anyways click my link to you in my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about this new track titled bubbalo with feed and and uh rema that's out now on all dsps and what do you think about the first afrobees award artist uh award uh award

from the VMAs going to an artist that's not of Afrobees.
