Okay, if you're listening, what's popping, we've never done any type of thing like this ever before. So this shit is weird. Who are we talking to? Who is this? What's popping? Nobody's shit just got it. Hella weird. All right, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because we are now getting into my favorite artist in the world, J. Cole.

All right? Y'all know this is a lie. But anyways, we're getting into J. Cole. And basically, he released a podcast. Talk about irony, right? Titled Inevitable. So, Inevitable. hopefully J-Cole will not get out of hip-hop timeout.

But I will admit that this is a great move as far as a PR perspective. Just letting people know the countless times you've given hip-hop something that's been high-quality, right? Because currently, you know, just me being, you know, analytical, you know, just looking at the data. That's all it is. Nothing, you know, slanderous about this statement. But J-Col currently doesn't have any tracks on the top of 100. but he does have the 15th most play album currently with 2014's Forrest Hills Drive, right? So when you come into this podcast titled Inevitable, basically featuring unreleased music and conversations about his life and career,

then you realize that this is a great PR move, especially after one of the more outright detrimental things. that he did as far as his career as a rapper. Like as far as a human, everybody loves to talk about phalynthropic things that J. Cole has done. We're talking about as a rapper. This man did one of the worst things you could ever do in hip hop,

which is release a disc track, take the disc track down, and basically say that the person you was dissing, you was a clown for that because he's so great, right? So ultimately, he's in hip-hop timeout for the foreseeable future. Now, as far as this podcast, I do believe that Ibrahim, which is his manager, and Scott Laser, which is the filmmaker and longtime collaborator of J. Cole, releasing this podcast is phenomenal as the minimum $10 option, which you can pay more, but that's the minimum as far as $10 to register for these podcast episodes.

Now, as far as platforms, that is where a lot of people are confused on where to find. this so this whole entire series as far as a podcast is available on the inevitable website actually let me pull it out right now inevitable and it should pop up right um this is the thing about having things release directed consumer is harder to look up because the powers that be do not want you to ever have success going to direct the consumer like this so inevitable inevitable Let me see if I can find it. So the website, where is the website? Okay, let me go to Dreamville.

This is the thing about going direct to consumer, man. It's so hard to even find this type of stuff. Okay, I typed in the inevitable website and nothing popped up. Let's see if you... Via inevitable. Dot live. Okay, I'm at to actually put an entire link. That's what I'm saying.

What Drake and Jay Cole is trying to do as far as going to direct the consumer, I promise you the hireups do not want this to be successful. Because they make all the money off of marketing your product, right? All right. I finally found the website. So here we go. This was very hard to type. This was even hard for me to find.

I'll pull up information like that. I ain't going to lie to you. So as far as the masses and wanting to know where you can directly get access to this podcast, here it is right here. And this is the podcast link. I highlight see right here. All right. So basically, type in the inevitable, well, www.

inevitable. Dot inevitable. Live and the website will pop up where you can get access to it with a $10 monthly subscription. Or you can continue email. Oh, this is probably a log in. But yeah, you definitely need to register for this. So actually, let me do it right now.

I don't want to pull up my information. Let me see. I'm just showing y'all how to, I'm basically showing you how to do this because ultimately a lot of people are having trouble finding this podcast which makes sense i mean okay so they sent a code to my email so i'm going through the process i am right now currently going through the process of figuring out how to sign up for my favorite rappers podcast right uh okay here we go so an inevitable website we're signing up all right i've logged in okay i've signed up by email all right

okay now it shows me get access right okay so I've signed in through email now I'm saying get access right and that's what I was talking about the minimum is $10 obviously you can pay more and you can basically what you get access to is the podcast right and then you can chat with other community members worldwide and experience the episodes together so that's basically what you could

watch right now as far as the podcast being considered because I believe all the episodes are out 10 episodes like I said on a website episode one came out November 18th episode two came out November 20th episode three came out November 22nd episode four kept out came out November 25th episode 5 came out November 27th episode 6 came out November 29th episode 7 came out December 2nd episode 8 came out December 5th Episode 9 came out December 9th and episode 10 came out December 12th. All these was in the year of 2024.

Now, of course, these focus on his albums, well, really mixtape slash albums because they talk about the come up. They talk about lights, the warm up, who that Friday night lights, sideline story, Bourne's Center, and Forest Hills Drive, of course. So let me play the video so they can expound upon what I. I was talking about as far as the podcast. So in late 2022, Cole, Ebe and I sat down to record a little conversation. Ebe had found this old laptop in his garage that had all these old demos and unreleased songs and songs that we've come to know and love from Cole and we started playing them for each other, which conjured up all these amazing memories that they'd shared over the years.

The good? That was a big-ass moment. I don't lie. Even hearing it right there, I was like, oh, shit. The bad. Cut that off. That shit trash. And the ugly. Hey, me and him both be agreeing with that. Do be trash.

It would literally been to rap on my whole fucking career. It would have been over. So we just started recording. One day turned into two, two days turned into three, and we kept going for eight days tracking the entire arc of Cole's career from the very early days when he started writing his first songs. The song that I did that. show me you're capable of doing something else.

What do you think it is? School day? It was school day. As soon as you said, I was like, it's gotta be school day. All the way up until now. I felt like, damn, this nigga just turned another corner. Yes, I'm not that level of songwriter

without going through everything that I went through. Having to be pushed, that shit made me stronger. And we covered all this ground, everything from, of course, the music. Probably in your mind, it's like, this is my land. Yes, yeah. Here's something I can offer. And here's me displaying an ability, to talk about it in a way that's going to connect to you.

To relationships. It was literally right when he was about to turn the album in. Yeah, I remember deciding, like, it's that time. And once I knew, I just went and got the ring, like, I just knew. And I took these precious recordings and organized them into a limited audio series that we're calling Inevitable. Because I know what I know now, it's almost silly to say some of the shit out loud where it's like, oh, man, but it's just the reality.

So pull up a chair. Join us as we release Season 1 of Inevitable. dream to what you call the rest. All right. So season one of inevitable, which basically means there's there are future seasons

to come in the future, right? This is a limited audio series, which is basically, you know, their version of a podcast. And like I said, it covers a lot of his timeless music. And one of the things about the series that it does for Jay Cole as a musician

is expound upon what people fell in love with as far as the the image of j cole as a human cole is probably the greatest hip-hop artist ever as far as the evolution as far as the grown man advice grown man bars that you could use in your own life to to evolve to evolve i can't even talk to evolve as a man right so cole in that sense is the greatest maybe of all time for a long time listeners of the podcast you're probably flabbergasted right now because that was probably the highest compliment i've ever given jermaine so anyways with this being said a lot of things in this podcast makes it worth the ten dollars i'm not going to lie he played literally played unreleased collaborations with kensurck lamar that alone should let you know

that this podcast series is filled with content. I don't know why people aren't talking about it more. I think it has something to do with him being a hip-hop timeout and Kendrick completely taking all the spotlight, right? But ultimately, I will say that he did it to himself as far as the backtracking of putting out a disc track towards Kendrick. There's ways to do it and the way that he did it was the worst one. if he would have never put out a disc track he would have never been a hip hop timeout because we would have just assumed he didn't want to smoke in the first place the way he popped out with seven minute drill the way he backtracked off seven minute drill and then he co-signed kendry right after less than 48 hours like he was trying to prevent a murder right you ever seen the first 48 instead of trying to solve a murder this man was trying to prevent a murder whole time it was himself so as far as backtracking apologizing that is just not seen

in a good light as far as hip-hop because it's all about contact when it comes to hip-hop it's a contact sport you battle rap somebody we see who wins and we move on right

another thing to even talk about my favorite rapper with my actual favorite rapper as far as the goat with Drake what he did as far as the battle all the way up

until he started acting out and literally crashing out as far as suing UMG would have being what the hip-hop well actually he still gave us what hip-hop fans won it which is the greatest hip-hop battle of all time i mean at this point in time we could say kedric versus drake statistically speaking quality level speaking everything as far as the industry speaking and the culture speaking is one of the greatest if not the greatest hip-hop battle of all time what he did following that as far as

drake has been very upsetting to see as a drake fan because him crashing out of the suing UMG for not like us that was created by Kendrick ultimately means that he's suing because he lost so um that move could be seen in the same light as j cole backtracking off of seven minute drill right which is why kendrick right now is just seen as the hip hop saver because what he's done as far as all of his moves every single one has been on point every single one of his moves has been on point whoever kendrick's PR team i'm not going to lie the opposition is about to pay the utmost bag to get them off of his team and on their team and who that may be i'm going to let y'all figure out who that may be as far as trying to offer them a bag to come over or switch size so anyways um

j co's album inevitable is out now on his website like i just showed um do i still have his website up I don't know if I still have this website. Yes, right here. So this website right here. All you have to do is just go to this website, www.inaviton. Sign up through email, phone number, and then pay $10.

So you already know this is a great marketing strategy because all those numbers and emails will be used in his favor, which I'm not mad at it. Because, of course, if you're signing up with knowing that they're asking for email phone number and you give it to them,

then they're probably going to use it for future promotions down the line. to email you about future releases from J-Co because the direct-to-consumer model is frowned upon by UMG, by Warner, by Sony, because it cuts the big dogs out of the picture as far as the major machines. But honestly, as far as a consumer, we should want our great content creators and artists to be able to go direct-to-consumer because that's just better for us. Overall, the major machines only care about making a dollar if you go to direct a consumer now you can pay them directly and they can

give you content instead of having that buffer of the major label being like oh you can't give them this that's too expensive we got to lock this behind a movie theater or something like that right this type of content would have been used in a movie theater and guess how much you pay at a movie theater versus $10 for a podcast series right so stuff like that where going to direct the consumer from the artist standpoint oh no from the consumer and artist standpoint is phenomenal but for the the person that tries to mediate that artists to consumer connection as far as the major machine, they are going to do everything in their power to step on this podcast series, which is why you probably haven't heard of it spoken about often, right?

Because people just may not know that this is out. So anyways, it's featured a lot of old music from Jay Cole, a lot of just insightful thoughts about his rise to fame, and then overall just the themes of his, uh, struggles, his triumphs, his personal evolution. I mean, it's just all there in one podcast format. And all 10 episodes are now out. Like I said, $10 paywall minimum. You can always pay more if you want to.
