Now, Voters 1 by Kanye West and Todd Dahlassan came out February 9th, 2024. We Don't Trust You, album by Future in Metro Boomin, came out March 2022. Of course, both albums were released in the same year. Now, analytically speaking, people would automatically assume Kanye West is a much bigger artist than future. But currently, if you look at the standings, Future currently has the top album in the world with We Still Don't Trust You, which just came out

not too long ago, if I could find that one. We Still Don't Trust You came out April 12th of this year, of course. And then of course I said, we don't trust you. came out March 22nd. So why am I saying that? We still don't trust you as number one album in the world. We Don't Trust You, which came out March, is the third album in the world. So you have two albums in the top three as far as all music that's been put out in

2024 currently. Beyonce, of course, is number two with her album, Cowboy Carter. Now why is that impactful in this situation? Because ladies and gentlemen, Kanye West has taken it upon himself to make this entire fiasco about himself. Now I'm not saying that, of course, Kanye West isn't lit because he had a number one record already before like that came out in the version of, what was that track called? I think it was Carnival. Yeah, Carnival. and that track is basically

I'm looking at the albums but the track Carnival is basically the most well not basically it is statistically the most successful track off of that album and currently it is sitting at number 20th on the charts and it's been on the charts

for of course since what was it January I keep getting my dates mixed up but yeah it's been on the charts since February 9th and it slid all the way down to number 20 with it which is okay because of course it peaked at number one and it's been on the charts for about 10 weeks so obviously you're going to have some type of drop off but with that drop off Kanye has allegedly recorded a remix version of like that what is like that literally one of the best hip hop songs ever created so with

that being said like that is currently at number one it keeps saying that it's going to be basically um outperformed by track two sweet by hosier i think i'm saying this name right but we haven't seen that come into fruition uh just yet as like that is still number one when we're talking about the past charts so three weeks at number one and now you're looking at somebody trying to make a remix off of a track that you don't want anybody else touching there's a reason why the baby and his LA leakers freestyle over to like that beat and there's a reason why there's a alleged version of Kanye west putting his addition to like that track whenever in hip hop there's a hot beat everybody hops on it goes from the beginning of time people came out to radio

stations to rap on popular beats uh little wanes sorry for the weight i believe had all type of popular beats that he was rapping over is really more of the hip hop mixtape era where it comes where this comes from because if a beat is hot to the point where everybody knows what it is then at that point when you attach your lyrics to it people are only specifically listening to your content and they already inherently believe that the track is going to be high quality which is why a lot of rappers come out and try to give their best bars to this beat because it's already solidified in hip hop history. So only reason I'm saying that is because like that has a verse from Kendrick that his fans have been hyping up like Jesus himself wrapped it. Right. So with that being said, you know it's attributed towards mostly Drake, which I argue at that point because the whole

top three notion and being the, uh, it's just big me was basically a playoff of germane and he's in hip hop timeout. So people have just. just overlooked that fact and have put all the disses towards Drake now, even though Jermaine's point is the only thing Kinchik was rebutton, the only thing that he gave a rebuttal to because when it came to Drake, all he said was a playoff of his album, which was for all the dogs and basically comparing himself to Prince and Drake is Michael Jackson, which I've heard some conspiracy theories on why he even brought up Michael Jackson and how he's going to make more similarities between Drake and Michael Jackson, which I can't wait for that.

actually going to go down that route because obviously that gets into pretty nasty territory which makes Jermaine sitting out more of a logical decision because I don't think he's willing to go that route. Still, he's, you know, with that to decide, he's still in timeout. You know, Jermaine's in hip-hop timeout. He put a verse on we still don't trust you and got clown for it. When is the last time Jermaine attributed to anything and everybody clowned him for his main profession? My point exactly. So he's in hip-hop timeout. But Kanye West has came out to make this all about himself, rapping over the like that beat,

allegedly, we haven't heard it yet. But they did say that Adam 22 apparently has it. And he put out a tweet basically saying, I have the like that Kanye remix, but I have been forbidden to leak it at this time. At that point, I know it's Adam 22 and he's had a lot of hip-hop accomplishments as far as his coverage throughout the years. But the validity of that statement has to be questioning because if you're forbidden for leaking it, then why say you have it? It's like me coming out and saying, oh, I have the third Drake disc track towards Kendrick, but I'm not going to release it. At that point, why even come out and say anything?

It's almost a cloud move. But at the end of day, if you're on the internet and you run a business, everything's to drive some type of engagement. So that's like 101. So with this, I think, honestly, simply put, Kanye West is trying to hop on the marketing train of future and Metro. I think that's all it is. That's why I started off by listing the stats for Carnival. Oh, actually, I don't even think I got to the stats for the album because Kanye West's album is all the way at number 28th.

So it's the most, uh, Voltures is the 28th most popular album in the world. And that came out, like I said, back in January. Um, so in comparison to future, currently, future is way harder than Kanye as far as albums on the charts. So it makes sense to why he's trying to attach himself to this conversation. via a like that remix and that's basically all it is none more none less that that's all that's all it is i don't think he's going at drake because obviously drake's a little busy um which you're gonna get into in the second but for coney west to go at drake you already know what drake's gonna say towards conier and this time i don't think pushy t's going to step in because he's already

defeated drake so what is left to prove honestly for pushyatee so if conier's actually jumps back out again and tries to go at Drake, I think it would be a move that doesn't make sense because now Drake can go at you again without the fear of push your T stepping back in, if that makes sense. So yeah, that's basically at the end of the day. Hopefully this Kanye version of like that comes out just to showcase how dominant future and Metro has been when it comes to the charts and hip hop in general has been uplifted. by Metro in a way that he has not gotten the respective credit for it. Last year, I credit him for uplifting hip hop when it had one of his worst years,

putting out the hip hop, the Heroes and Villains album. And then in that same year, put it on no, no, heroes and villains came out late 2022. And then across the Spiderverse soundtrack came out last year, like middle, whatever the movie came out across the Spider-Verse. that soundtrack came out. And both of those albums, heroes and villains and across the spotterverse impacted the charts for that entire year.

Analytically, when you look at 2023. So for him to uplift hip hop all the way back then when nobody was dropping and now everybody and their mama is trying to drop now as far as hip hop and he's still dominating the charts, respect has to be put on Metro's name in a way that I don't know if we've actually compartmentalized it yet because people are attributing the sales to Kendrick and future which obviously you know if you have superstar buddies then of course you're going to have some help when you collab but metro has been doing this by himself on some DJ Khaled type tip for heroes and villains and across the spotterverse so shout out to him you know I am a drak stand and it's funny that he said

shut up and make some drums but let's just say as far as hip-hop metro has definitely been pivotal and carrying the numbers when it comes to the overall charts even though countries still dominated metro also also drake i mean drake at this point people talk about drake owning the percentage of everybody on uh dsps because of how big he is but if you're outperforming the next best artist by like 10fold then um by that point yeah if it's a regular job i don't want a salary at that point i want a percentage because nobody's performing like me on Only other person that can even talk like that is Taylor Swift, and she's the top artist in the world, which rumors that she also gives percentage out of all music that comes down on

DSPs, which makes sense if you're not performing like them. And if you just look at it in a corporate aspect, it makes all the sense in the world. But if you look at it as a metro, as a future, as a Kendrick, you may team up to go at Drake. So hopefully that makes sense. Kanye West, he's a legend. So I never want to say he's cloud chasing, but it's a great marketing strategy to attach your name to something that's outperforming your projects and singles when all of that was released in the similar or in the same year. So obviously that's probably why he can't put out a, well, that's why Adam 22 claims he can't put it out because I believe Metro's Camp, Futures Camp is probably like there's no way you're going to try to take Arshine and put your name on it.

when we didn't ask for you to be on it. So yeah, with that being said, I think Kendrick could come out on a remix version of like that and just give Drake more bars. Like at this point, he don't want to rap. So, you know, why not just go off the old flow to everybody already champion and try to give more bars towards Drake?

Because it seems like the bars and you know what for a Kendrick response as everybody's just copying all type of pleas for him, talking about how it took Drake two weeks, even though when first. person shooter came out, which Kendrick literally gave a rebuttal to, it was four months after first person shooter came out. If he actually cared about the sport of hip hop, he wouldn't have waited that long just to capitalize off of a future metro boost and sales simply for the

featured verse being on that album. Because there's one thing that I will say about like that is is one of the best hip-hop songs of all time simply due to the fact that there's no weaknesses in the track. The beat is classic, futures chorus and melody is classic and then of course the additional guest feature, Kendrick and his verse, when we're not talking about the disc aspect,

is still classic as far as wordplay, vocal inflection, things of that nature. So that is why Kanye is trying to attach himself to this whole situation. and is nothing more, nothing less. That's literally all it is. It's just a marketing ploy and, hey, if you're Kanye West, I guess you can do that.

But obviously you can't because they're having trouble clearing even a leak. Like if this comes out, it would have to be a leak, you know? So look out for that and I wouldn't be surprised if it actually does end up leaking in the near future. So with that being said, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias. What do you think about Kanye West just being outperforming? and out dominated by Future and Metro, seeing how their respective projects came out in a similar time span.

And do you think it affects Kanye's legacy the way that he's trying to attach himself to Future and Metro's chart topping track like that?
