You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it? You're not... See, I don't think Spotify and Apple Music knew what type of business Bieber Vellee was standing on. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on?

Because obviously, Justin Bieber doesn't make hip-hop, but when it comes to standing on business, you would have thought that the culture of hip-hop embodied Justin Bieber himself because he was giving his fans updates. Because guess what? When it came to his album and people went to their local DSPs, Swag 2 was not there. Now, ladies and gentlemen, as of me recording this, it is out now in all DSPs.

But of course, when it comes to midnight with any other release, because when it comes to playlisting and things in that nature, it's all type of things behind the scenes on why people release at midnight on Thursdays, right? So the love song from Swag 2 is or was slated to be on multiple playlist, which is why It jumped to the top of New Music Friday on Spotify. Because if you don't know, that's one of the main coveted playlists, especially for new music, because a lot of people want to listen and find new artists.

And I think New Music Friday for a lot of people is what they go to. So with that being said, Justin Bieber finally gave us the update of Swag 2 being released. But let me just show y'all the rollout to this, because this was beyond funny. As Justin Bieber himself was not trying to pull a Playboy Carty, So he was the utmost transparent as far as letting his fans know that it wasn't on him that the album was delayed. So he showed a text message with David Walser, which I don't know who that is.

I don't feel like looking it up. But Justin Bieber said, where is it? David said, just asked should be any minute. And Justin B was like, huh? He said, what the hellie? Is that technically a curse word or no? I don't know. David said, sitting outside my house on steps waiting.

Of course I read it in that order Because I wanted to end off with Justin Bieber Said that spliff hit me wrong I know that ain't who I think it is Type of spliff is Justin Bieber taken Is it okay I got my dope on me I said what the fuck I don't understand what type of drugs that man was on

But hey I don't know what type of spliff I don't do you know spliffs or whatever You know only splits I don't even know what type of splits he's talking about So anyways Justin Bieber is giving us another update You know like one hour after I don't know if it's one hour after, but he basically said,

me waiting with you, not baiting you, not sure what the, and this is a PG podcast, so not sure what is going on, I'm clicking refresh, and he put this infamous clip right here. You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it? It's not clocking to Spotify and Apple Music. And he followed up by saying it's not clocking to you, Spotify,

and Apple Music refresh loading. So you know, Justin Bieber was just, as upset of just as upset like his fans because of course imagine being a popular artist like Justin Bieber telling your fan base your album's going to come out but guess what something that's out of your control which is the worst as a creator I ain't gonna lie to you something that's out of your control going wrong to the point where you're the you're along with the fans as far as the ride of waiting for your album to be released so this is why he keep posting this video giving his fans updates

You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it? And then he followed it up by saying, I'm sorry for the way they're telling me any second, which he is probably still saying it to himself. You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you.

It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it? And then another text message, ladies and gentlemen, he said, all right, he posted a text message from somebody where they were saying it should be up any minute. And before that, he put the face palm emoji so you know that they was making Beavervelli upset because he was probably on them like white on rice. Like he was wondering where was his album that he turned in at the right time? But seemingly it's not up at midnight. So as far as his track, love song from the album swag to be in the pivot or the highlighted track to be on New Music Friday, very interesting because of course that tells me that he band turns his music in because if you don't know how these playlists work, they basically want your music ahead of time.

We're not too much ahead of time, but ahead of time so they could make sure they have all the slots field as far as their most coveted playlist. So that's probably why Love Song went all the way up to the top because Justin Bieber Ben saying that he was going to put out swag to for like a week now. So anyways, everybody's been waiting during the comment section. One of them said, well, unfortunately for me, I would not be sleeping until this album is dropped. You guys. See, that's the problem. And then of course, then finally the update came where Justin Bieber said, well, finally live on YouTube, finally live on Amazon music, finally live on Spotify. And then of course he put this comment on his IG for some reason.

Fraser Tarp said, buddies on every landmark on plenty earth. I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. And then he followed his latest post from his IG as of right now. He said, oh, m.g, we are live. So I guess it was finally clocking to Spotify and Apple Music. You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it? I don't think they understood what type of timer Biba Valley was on.

But as of right now, the album Swag 2 is out. Of course, it has the original Swag album. It's more of a deluxe. But it's a whopping 44 tracks long and two hours and 11 minutes. Safe to say, that's why Justin Bieber was so on business about his album coming out at the right time. because that's a lot of music to give to his label, which if you don't know, Justin Bieber is under I-L-H production, which is under exclusive license to Def Jam, which is a subsidiary of UMG recordings, which UMG recordings currently has 57,

I repeat, a whopping 57% of the entire music market share. So when it comes to Sony, they have 22% when it comes to Warner. They have 17 and the others, which is independents and smaller labels. They have a whopping 4%. So when it comes to Justin Bieber releasing this under UMG, safe to say that a lot of people behind the scenes was working his album as far as trying to get it out. But obviously they didn't tell Justin Bieber that we kind of run it behind,

so he almost lost it on his IG. So I'm glad that he was so transparent to his fan base because it doesn't seem like he was trying to pull the Playboy Cardi because if y'all remember, the most iconic release in hip-hop history for all the wrong reasons was Playb Ricardy putting out his music. music album because he kept telling his fans it's coming out every three hours to the point where people basically pulled an all-nighter to listen to music so as far as for jesson

beaver knock on lock i got to keep it eight more than 92 it did come out around three i think 30 a m so it's like you know technically pulled it all night at the end of the day uh it was for justin beber so i feel like the original body of work is swag definitely led up to people waiting up for swag too because i think this is going to be a phenomenal album i can't wait to listen to it Obviously, I don't have a review yet because, of course, it's a two hour and 11 minute album. So with that being said, just wanted to give you all the update. Swag 2 is out now, finally, on all DSPs. And as far as Bebevelli, he was almost about to lose it because I guess it wasn't clocking to Apple Music and Spotify.

You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it? So that would be it say, click my link tree in my bio. Let me know one of my social media is. What do you think about swag too that's out now on? all DSPs. And if you're a huge Justin Bieber fan,
