Starting point is 00:00:03 Megan the Stallion has a new album and guess what it's called Megan I don't know if that threw you for a loop but for me I was like talk about the lack of creativity for album title but you know that's okay because whenever you're talking about Megan the Stallion you do have to realize that she's one of the biggest artists period when it comes to rap now when talking about her album let's get into some of the biggest things when it comes to distribution and this album's coming out under hot girl productions which in all actuality is independent the label was founded by megan the stallion because of her legal disputes with her previous label 1501 certified entertainment if you don't know about her whole label dispute with 1501 certified entertainment is a reason why her and Drake is beefing. You probably didn't know that because 1501 certified entertainment is ran by Carl Crawford who is a very close partner with Jay Prince. And if you know anything about Drake, his ties is only to Jay Prince. So that's the rabbit hole into how Megan the Stalien and Drake are beef.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Y'all probably thought it was through her beef with Nikki Minaj, not in the same. light it's simply because of what happened with 1501 entertainment so with that being said i think megan the stallion is one of the greatest rappers in the past three to four years so as far as a hierarchy i would definitely have drake kendrick up there i'll definitely have nicky up there and as far as the other two spots i'll probably say either Megan doja cat some people will say germane but ever since he made his apology um he's just completely in hip-hop timeout so megan is sallion has a new album titled megan under her independent label self-started label hot girl productions and i do believe that with this track with this album being 18 tracks 52 minutes in length it will inevitably do some
Starting point is 00:02:27 type of damage on the charts but i i don't believe the type of global impact will happen simply for her label disputes and seemingly the whole industry being against her. I mean, when Eminem took a shot at Megan the Stalien singing on his album or on his single Houdini, you think I could get a feature with, you think if I ask Megan to hop on an album, I'll have a shot at a feat, basically talking about shot at a feature, which is a playoff shot at feet. which happened to Megan the Stallion in the Tory Lane's case. I mean, if Eminem's taking shots at you, Drake's taking shots at you, Nikki's taking shots at you, I mean, goodness,
Starting point is 00:03:13 you got the whole Vinders of hip hop going at you. And at this point, you're by yourself, you're putting out an album under an independent label, who in the world is going to want to stand by somebody who may get you in bad blood with the Eminem, with the Drake, with the Nikki. I mean, the biggest thing she has going for herself, is the Jay-Z ties with her being managed by Rock Nation. And you see that in reflection of the features.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I mean, there's notable features missing out for this album. And I think that's because of the whole pick aside. If you want to do music with Megan and Stalion, just know you'll probably be on the bad side of Nikki, Drake. I'm not going to say M&M. I don't know if it's really that serious or if he just wanted to take shots at a black woman, which both of them is just terrible.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I'm just trying to lay it out for you. So as far as making the Stalian, right, she's going to kick off the BET Awards with the performance on June 30th so you can look out for that. And also, with her highly anticipated album out, expect her to take more direct shots at Nikki because I think that's the biggest thing
Starting point is 00:04:24 she can lean into. As far as marketing advice, I would tell her to go at Nikki because Nikki's by far the bigger artist and try to gain some type of appeal. from the masses from being a victim because that's been your main marketing train at this point. So success-wise, wannabe is her most successful track on the charts, but it's not hers. It's Glorilla and Megan LaStylion with the track Wanna Bee, the 25th most play song in the world.
Starting point is 00:04:59 It's been under charge for about 11 weeks. So that's a bona fide hit. peak the number 20 and now is at 25 been on the charts for about 11 weeks safe to say people is playing want to be over and over and over and it would probably end up being one of the best songs of 2024 so now we'll come back we come back to your album the sales are going to be highlighted if it's not at a certain stature by the barbs because of your beef with nicky that is where it comes into effect you going directly at her to play the victim card so that they can't overtly go at you and try to discredit your status in hip-hop.
Starting point is 00:05:41 If you play the victim card again with Nikki, I think it could work because of how Nikki went at you on her disc track, Bigfoot, basically highlighting lying on your dead mom. That was a very, very vitriol attack when it comes to verbal spark. in the hip-hop battle. So I'll play off that, play the victim card, continue to just promote your music because everybody in the mom seems to not really like you, to put it bluntly.
Starting point is 00:06:15 But I think that with this album, I think with certain marketing strategies, and regardless of the reviews of this album, you just have to continue to be the victim. It can't be, oh, I'm the big, bad, everybody is beneath me no it has to be the higher-ups are all trying to stop me taking shots at me i mean the m&m stuff i haven't listened to the album but if that's not in your album as far as uh rapping about why would m&m take shots at a black woman i mean that just has to be a part
Starting point is 00:06:50 of the marketing strategy at this point if it's not it's because of the reasons i previously stated you don't want to get or either your PR team your marketing team the people who helping you don't want to get on the bad side of the higher ups that's really really in dislike of you like they really really dislike you so um yeah this is the first album released under her own label this is one of the first albums where she's going to be completely standing on her own as far as having to put up numbers from her own body of work and I think because if you realize the last albums was helped out by like a Cardi B, um, Beyonce, like she's had some superstar help as far as the last albums. But I think Megan can rap. One of the main critiques is the chorus. The structure of her chorus making ability
Starting point is 00:07:43 seems not to be on par with most artists. It seems like she can rap, but she falls into the Jay-Z effect where she needs help when it comes to making the course. chorus, which is nothing wrong with that if you're a rapper, because if that's the main thing you do, then of course, do that well. But as far as the chorus making ability, I'll probably work on that. So that's the advice I could probably give. That's basically it. Some of the collaboration she does have is Glorilla, of course, because, I mean, they have one of the biggest songs in the world right now. So why not have her again on your album? She has Victoria Monet, UGK. Who in the world is UGK? am i tripping is that m gk no that's u g okay let me see u gk who is this
Starting point is 00:08:29 this can't be right no that can't be right u gk it just brought up some hood dude yeah no that's not right it has to be like u gk i don't know why that just threw me all the way off i was like who is this let me see if i can type on that name all right let me see go to r artist UGK Oh it is them Okay I don't know Hey
Starting point is 00:09:00 I guess man I don't know I don't know why they're on that I don't know why they on the album But hey Anyways So for all the Megan fans out there Click my link to your in my bio
Starting point is 00:09:12 Let me know one of my social media What do you think about the advice I gave The Megan the Stallion And how do you think she can best Go about promoting Her new album Megan Out now on all DSPs Thank you.
