Starting point is 00:00:00 Thinking out loud, what goes on in Dwight Howard's mind when he sees Lil Nas X. Also, does Little Nas X get invited to the party parties? Food for thought as I get into the segment because the one, the only, Lil Nas X is dropping a new single titled, Wait for it, Jay Christ. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, he is. pulled the ultimate blasphemy card as this is supposed to drop January 12th and it be in 2024 I thought we was done with all the mockery promotion of Christianity but of course little nods X being a student of the game because if you don't know started out as a
Starting point is 00:00:54 a Nicki Minaj stand account before he had his rise to fame. But with that being said, you know that he has expert knowledge in how to utilize different marketing strategies. And I think he was seeing the success that Dojicat had, particularly, well, specifically when it comes to singles, using anti-Christianity type of marketing tactic. and he's going to implement the same marketing strategy in this year. And let's just say, I'm predicting it will probably play out well for him. But of course, I'm not a little Nas X-Hater.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Actually, I really enjoy his music to the point where I feel like his last releases in 2022. Yes, I'm going back two years from now. Starwalking and late to the party should have more success on the charts than it did. I think both of those barely scraped into the time. top 50 of the billboard 100, which of course, to a regular artist is success. But to a little Knott's X, a man who came out the gate with Old Town Road, then people call him a one hit one, to the point he came with another one with industry baby, all of those, well, both of those being very successful tracks to the point where I realized that Lil Nas X
Starting point is 00:02:19 has a ear for music and also has a knowledge. of how they implement a marketing strategy. So what do I expect for this Drake Christ single that's about to be released January 12th? I'm predicting at least a top five debut on the charts because not only is his marketing tactic influential and impactful, but people are already talking about this
Starting point is 00:02:46 to the point where somebody made a whole list. Now, if you're watching this, well, if you're only listening to, this make sure you go over to analytic dreams video on spotify specifically to see the video along with the audio but to that point somebody literally went and documented all the artists and musicians that have tried the same marketing tactic when it comes to exploiting christianity because people were targeting little nods x to the point where somebody had to clap back so there's random twitter account i am quiz b i don't know if that's some type of
Starting point is 00:03:23 I don't know what that means. But hey, that's his channel if you want to, well, not channel, but his Twitter account. So anyways, these are all the artists who portrayed themselves as Jesus. And I don't think they received as much backlash or if any like Lil Nas X. Obviously, we have Nas right here, the baby. And you can go look for yourself, right? The title, the Twitter channel is right here.
Starting point is 00:03:47 And obviously you can see his name right there. You can look it up for yourself. So we have. Knaz, obviously you see the picture right here. I'm not going to blow it up because you can obviously see the picture. DeBaby, Stormzy, Remy Ma, Kanye, that's the one that's going to get everybody. He got a rolling stone cover with a thorn, with a crown of thorns on his head. No, one of this man is out here talking crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I mean, you end up on Rolling Stone with that type of imagery. You have some powerful people backing you, but that's besides a point. Kendrick Lamar is the biggest example of that because Mr. Morrell and the big stepers. I know I talked about Dojicat and her success with the whole anti-Christianity marketing tactic. But to be fair, Kendrick Lamar did also have a type of I am Jesus imagery with the crown of thorns on his head whenever he was showing up to fashion events and I forget what the call. But basically the fashion events, he was showing up playing music from Mr. Morralla and the Big Steppers with a crown of thorns on his head. And did he get any backlash? Of course not.
Starting point is 00:04:58 So, of course, I love this Twitter thread because it just kind of showcases what I've always known. But basically, if people don't like you, they're going to be louder in their criticism. But if they like you, they may say their criticisms behind closed doors, but would they come to the internet or or to the public with it, probably not. So, Ketrick Lamar is probably an example of portraying himself as Jesus and not getting any backlash for it. Mace,
Starting point is 00:05:33 Tupac. Okay, so yeah. So basically it's really only a problem with Lil Nas X does it. And to be fair, it's probably because he had a marketing campaign if you still following along with me on Atlantic Dreams video for the video version, of course, on Spotify. But anyways,
Starting point is 00:05:48 where is it at? So basically, it's probably because he did this right here. So everybody's bringing this up. Maybe it's because he did this. And it's basically talking about how Lil Nas X had an unofficial Satan Nike campaign. And to the point where Nike had to come out and say, hey, we don't co-sign this. Little Nas X is wilding with this whole devil campaign with our logo. And I think they say him some type of cease and desist.
Starting point is 00:06:13 But I think that was some, I don't know if I'm misspeaking on that. but I do know that Nike did speak out about this and basically told him to cut it out. They was like cut it out or we're going to step in. So that's probably why he's getting backlash for this because he's already tried it once, literally a doja cat type of tactic. And I keep saying dojikad because she was the most influential with that type of marketing strategy when she put out Painted Town Red. And what was the other single that went up for a basically Painted Town Red?
Starting point is 00:06:42 It's all you need to know. Surrounded with her type of marketing campaign. And now, Little Knott's X is back in 2024 to keep that marketing campaign going. With this track called Jay Christ set to be released January 12th, I think it would be fire. Little Knott's X makes very high quality music, and I enjoy his music to the point where I enjoy women's raps. And when I say that, I mean, some of the things he says, I cannot repeat word for word as a straight male. Now, there's anything wrong with that? Of course not.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Everybody has to live their truth. But of course, for me, I just can't rap along to a Lil Nas X song and entirety, you know? Because you say some things and then you catch it. You realize what he's basically implying, what he's saying. And then you realize that you are uncomfortable and you would rather not repeat that line again. So that's why I am with Lil Nas X music. Sonically is amazing. Lyrically, I like the way he puts words together.
Starting point is 00:07:43 But am I repeating it? Of course not. So, but, hey, if that's your way of, you know, expression, then to each his own. So, yeah, I think that's basically it. Here are some of the promotion he used for the track. Obviously, he has a cardboard sign saying what she said. I don't know what that means. And then he has another one.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Basically, I think he used some type of clip art for this, Photoshop editing, because who in the world, what church will put up new music for Lil Nas X Friday? I just think it's Photoshop. So hopefully nobody actually goes to this church and while out. But then you see another one, Elizabeth Lutheran Church, or Lutheran? Am I saying that right? I can't read.
Starting point is 00:08:29 I don't know. New music from Lil Nas X Friday. So as you can see, definitely a masterclass on how to market your single. Little Knott's X, like I keep saying, well, I think I only said it once. But basically, like I said at the beginning of the segment, This man is a master marketer. Marketing tactics, the way that he puts them together, the strategies, is a master class on how to encapsivate the masses. And once again, the point that I meant to say earlier, he started out as a Nicki Minaj stand account.
Starting point is 00:09:04 And now he's grown and evolved to a point where he has multiple billion streamed songs. to the point where people went from calling him a one hit wonder to pointing out other things just because they can't call him that anymore now that he has multiple hits and multiple number one tracks which some artists don't even get one now that he has multiple with industry baby with old town road people are bringing up his tactics to getting these number ones and obviously i think that's unfair because everybody gets their coin the way that they feel the best at. And for Lil Nas X, music is obviously one of those,
Starting point is 00:09:49 but attached with music is being a fantastic marketer and one of the greatest marketers I think we've seen in rap because his brain, when it comes to encapsivating the masses, using different marketing strategies, is just a one-of-one. Literally up there like a Kanye-esque. And yes, I compare him to Kanye specifically when it comes to marketing. That's the type of genius I think Little Nas X is when it comes to drumming up some type of reaction or promotion.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And think about it. Genuine, authentic reactions from the public, not know YB better. But anyway, say, that's what I'm saying? It's organic, unlike some other movements. But hey, where's the YB? Let me chill. So anyways, click my link to my bio. Let me know in one of my social medias.
Starting point is 00:10:40 What do you think about Little Nas X dropping a new single titled J. Christ, Jane. January 12th and do you think it would be fire or trash?
