"FEID & REMA - BUBALU"
00:00I 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 mychest. 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'soptics to everything and the way that the VMA is just blatantly disregarded the optics for the first everand I kid you not the first ever best Afrobeats award but before I get into that because of courseI'm gonna get into that but more importantly Feed who is collaborated with Afrobeast artistRema on a new single titled
00:54Bubaloo. 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-Dif you wanted to know the artist's actual name. Also, I have his Instagram up onthe 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.
01:22Anyways, 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 yourselfwhat ethnicity is Selena Gomez.Because at the end of the day, like, this is not something of a derogatory sentiment towards
02:05Selena Gomez.But it's like if the BET Awards had the first ever Caucasian award for the best Caucasianrapper 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 artistI don't care if it isRema's track
02:36The optics of it is horrendousThe first everAfrobe's best awardGoes to Selena GomezLike come on broLike if you don't believe meI swear I'm not making this upHere it is
02:52For you to see yourselfThem accept the awardForThe best AfrobeesFirst 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.
03:20Big 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 againi don't want to have to keep reiterating that rema is a part of the track but from an optic standpoint
03:58it's just downright horrendous so that's besides the point that's all i wanted to get into sofor the the more important fact is feed has a new servicesingle out titled boobaloo with rema and it marks the first collaboration with rema and feed basicallygained garnered popular no garnered a fan base through his remix of calm down featuring selina gomez so that's rimathat's rema's remix of calm down featuring selina gomez is the one that won the best afrobees award you know it'sDon't get me started thatBut basically boobalooWhich hopefully I'm saying it right
04:46I'm probably not bubble luIt's probably bubble luI don't care broHey boobalooBubbalu you knowSometimes people got to do bothBut anywaysFeed
04:59Is obviouslygoing to put that albumThat's set to be releasedSeptember 29thSo if you want to listen to Fees albumThat's when it's going to be releasedSeptember 29ththis is basically just the single for it and includes his previous singles and hits like nina bonita
05:21featuring sean paul uh fern foxo 151 with icon vinti con amigo and the album features collaborationswith ryan castro ningo flow and a lot of other uh rising uh chilean is i say itHopefully I'm saying it right on September 28th feed will appear on Amazon music livehosted by rapper two chains where he is expected to perform recent hits and new music from the albumwhich is something that Amazon is trying to do more of is have artists perform the new music live on their platformwhich I don't see that happening because why would an artist who doesn't need itdoesn't need a promotion.Why would they go on your platform,
06:16which is inherently promoting Amazonwhile also trying to promote the home music?I don't think that works outbecause 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 albumjust for the fact that they're performing, right?They just want people to stream the album.
06:38If 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 ratherthem go listen to the album and then in the future when they announce a tour, then you can comehear them perform it. But I don't really think that's a good model for artists to promote theiralbum as it released because now you're competing with yourself. 20,000 people are listening toyou basically sing the album in a live stream rather than go on a DSP where you get more revenuefrom 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,
07:24you 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 toSelena Gomez. And it just reminds me of that key and P, a key and peel, I believe, skit, where theymade fun of just representation and the lack of just just the lack of you know the word they're justnot cognizant of the optics and that's the best way i can put it for lack of a better term so anywaysclick my link to you in my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about thisnew track titled bubbalo with feed and and uh rema that's out now on all dsps and what do youthink about the first afrobees award artist uh award uh award
08:16from the VMAs going to an artist that's not of Afrobees.
