Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see a video along with the audio because if you wasn't sure what the crowd was chanting let me just let you know they were chanting one more time and you know of course Kendrick's a phenomenal performer so you're probably wondering what's the significance of them chanting one more time well ladies and gentlemen let me tell you one more time they was chanting one they was chanting one more time but guess where they was at Ontario and more specifically Toronto Ontario. So with that being said, safe to say, this is just egregious levels of hate that I can only aspire to get to.

Because as far as going to an artist's hometown and performing in a sold packed out stadium. Do y'all not know this the tickets started at 175? Of course, you know, it down, it went on a little discount. You know what I'm saying? I got to keep it eight more than I two. It did go on a discount. 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 in general, usually the tickets was way more expensive. But for the Toronto show, I don't know why they went on the discount, but they did. Right. So anyways, it started at 175, went to 126. Of course, went to 117. And then somewhere, uh, some, um, them tickets were 124, but usually the tickets for the Siza and Kendrick show were up to

$400 to $500 a pop. And I think only for the like floor seats or whatever, it was around 400 for Toronto. But it went on discount, but you know, that's besides the point. This man and Siza, I don't know why Sizz is not getting credit. I mean, I put up a clip of my social media and people was saying like, I don't know why Siz is not getting credit. Like everybody's acting like, oh, Kendrick's out here bringing all these records as far as the stadium tour. Sizz is bringing out a lot of people to the point where people forget that she currently is what has the more popular album added a two as far as Kendrick and Drake. Sizzah's SOS album is currently the fourth most play album in the world. GNX is the seventh most play album in the world.

Drake's Some Sexy Songs for You is the ninth most play album in the world. So when we get to analytics and speaking objectively, Siza technically is a bigger artist than Kendrick and Drake currently with her album. singles being combined because what is kendrick's most popular single currently luther who's also on that track ciza and of course when it comes to other tracks um kendrick in totality outstreams cissive i'm just talking about what's his most what's his best performing track because not like us did not get taken off dsps i know it may seem like not like us fell off the charts i don't know if you forgot to to re up with the bots i don't know what it is but you're not telling me that not like us is just completely off of the charts like how in the world does that happen like if you

look at the charts right luther is his most popular track being the fourth most played track in the world 30 for 30 is the 28th most played track in the world tv office the 40th most played track in the world and then you have squabble up which is the 47 most played track in the world and then pickaboo which is the 67 most played track in the world all that these tracks have been on the charts for at least 20 to 25 weeks so well specifically it's been 28 weeks phenomenal accomplishment definitely classics from a specific album but you're not telling well besides luther you're not telling me those other four tracks are more popular than not like us why is not like us completely off of the charts can i get an answer like at some point you just look at

objective metrics you point something out and in kbot say you're hating like if i bring up the chart hold up because actually i'm not going to show my source but y'all know that as far as billboard and chart data specifically they showed the charts y'all find out like us in the year of 2025 june 13th and i will eat my words and say i was incorrect but i looked at this chart and i'm like not like us where where is it hold on let me show y'all this screenshot right because y'all gonna think i'm just making this up so here we go all right so here's the chart right here right so there's a billboard charts I typed it not like us zero for zero you know what that means basically for the tech nerds out there that means you type in a specific

phrase and it's supposed to pop up and not like us it's completely off of the charts it's a hundred tracks to be considered ladies and gentlemen something this something fishy is going on with that something absolutely egregious is going on with that maybe it's because drake is suing UMG that they had to take some sort of action behind the scenes to let Kendrick know like hey we can't renew up on the on the kbots for not like us but it completely falling off the charts why is nobody talking about it it's almost like oh we're just going to act like it didn't happen like no not like us it's literally been the best performing this track of all time the best performing hip hop track track forget this is of all time and it's just completely off of the charts anyways all right so

that being said um Kendrick has been in Toronto running rampant to the point where a lot of people who's out here with reports like he tripled security and things that nature if i don't know when drake and meek mill was beefing and he went to philadelphia of course security is going to be doubled and triple because it's not even the artist's decision if the police from that particular place wants the venue to go well you think they want shootouts in their venue there's a reason why they want to treat these artists in a certain light because they bring a certain number of a certain dollar amount and to the that venue. So they want to make sure they have the safest experience possible. I don't think

size seven, I mean, white tank top is out here calling at the police authorities in Toronto, in Ontario, Toronto, I think I'm supposed to flip that, but y'all get the point. Calling Ontario authorities and saying, hey, I think I need triple the amount of security that you usually give artists. I don't think he's calling it saying that. I think Ontario probably realizes that if Kendrick Lamarris is in, if he's in the stadium and he's going to sell out the stadium with Siza, which he did and is back-to-back night. So if he actually want to go to the concert, you can still do that. They're performing again at 7 p.m. as far as today. So let me see.

So, yeah, he performed yesterday at 7. He's performing again today at 7. And, you know, when it comes to the back-to-back performances in the stadium, mind you, selling at a stadium back-to-back is just rubbing it in your opponent's face. Because if you don't know, the expense in the overhead for stadiums is much higher, which is why popular superstar-like figures do arenas two to three to four times in popular cities, right? Because it's easier to manage as far as the overhead and expenses. And, you know, you probably ask, well, how you know this? I mean, if you listen, if you studied the game enough, listen to Steve Stout, listen to Larry Jackson, you'll come to figure out why it's so expensive.

But anyways, a stadium, they usually only do once because of the overhead and the amount of staffing you need. So to do it twice, and Toronto, Ontario, they know exactly what they're doing. And you know what? I can't fault them for it. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on? If you completely mutilate your opponent verbally and now you have the ability to sell out a stadium. not once but twice in his hometown to the point where they're out here chanting one more time.

Hold on. Let me bring this back up because I think I think you all don't understand. This is this man that's in Toronto got the crowd acting like this. Like this is different levels of hate that I just aspire to get to. This is our Ontario. This is where Drake lies his head. So when it comes to that, I do believe Kendrick emphatically just receives his icing on the cake. because this was the last thing in the feud that a lot of people was looking forward to.

We had the Super Bowl, we had the Grammys, and then we had Kendrick performing in Toronto, Ontario. And that, as far as around 7 p.m. tonight, will be accomplished as far as the victory lap to Kendrick completely mutilating, Drake verbally. So with that being, say, click on link, tree in my bio. Let me know one of my social media's.

What do you think about Kendrick and Siza performing and Toronto, Ontario, but more specifically, more specifically performing at the Rogers Center stadium and will you be trying to get a ticket for the last show in Toronto for Kendrick as far as later tonight at 7 p.m.
