Analytic Dreamz: Notorious Mass Effect - "NBA YOUNGBOY - MASA"

Starting point is 00:00:03 Now, of course, I covered the album title a while back as far as NBA Young Boy. May 21st, 2025 is when I touched on the album title and of course the tour title. As when it comes to Massa, ladies and gentlemen, as the black community, we have to stop titling things in ways that you know could be taken out of context. But then you think about it, and NBA Young Boy gave us all the context in the world. So when it comes to the American flag, when it comes to him being arrested, being put on house arrest, and then ultimately violated probation so he had to go back to prison. And then, surprisingly, he was able to be released and there was whole helicopters that was flying them back

Starting point is 00:00:54 to whatever type of confined area he was supposed to be in. And then shortly following that, he puts out his album title and of course his tour title which is titled make america slime again which abbreviates into massa so you can't make this stuff up when it comes to NBA young boy and his fan base there's reason why they call them the youtube fan base is because they also talk about NBA young boys crazy rise to fame through the YouTube algorithm but when you look at it k-pop demon hunters black pink Alex Warren is towards the top i don't know what type of dominance NBA young boy is talking about having besides to be fair to to be fair when it comes to weekly top artists NBA young boy is number one so when it comes to

Starting point is 00:01:52 Morgan wallin k-pop demon hunters fresa regida of course the goat when it comes to drake bad bunny they are they round off the the top six but when it comes to number one and be a young boy is the top weekly artist but he just dropped the album so when it comes to the top music videos and the top weekly songs specifically that's why i start to pull out uh that's why i start to point out how he may not be the top when it comes to youtube it may just be streaming on youtube that he's the best at but when it comes to that i always talk about how you need an approximate 1400 to 1,500 streams to equivalent one album unit. So with that being said, now you're trying to get people

Starting point is 00:02:39 to buy your music when they're a condition to listen to your music on YouTube. The NBA Youngboy is gonna figure out very quickly that the YouTube streams do not convert into hard ticket sales when it comes to listing out your prices for your tour. You're gonna have to have, have to make it less expensive because now people are so inclined to just stream your music,

Starting point is 00:03:05 why would they come out to watch you for $200, $300, which honestly speaking, NB a young boy could charge. But when you have a fan base that's conditioned to get stuff for free time and time again, it's going to be harder for them to come out of their hard-earned money in the future for the same type of content. Do y'all really think that young boy is going to be putting on some type of Kanye, Travis Scott type of performance? Well, of course not. So when it comes to that, it's going to be very interesting to see how this tour goes. It is one of his most extensive albums to date, which whenever I see a plethora of tracks, several tracks, I believe that it's just ultimately lazy because now you don't want to go through the ANR process of picking the right track. You

Starting point is 00:04:00 want to put something out and let the fans decide what's the best track so they can make their own playlist when in all actuality you're one of the biggest stars in the hip-hop game you can dictate what they like if you cultivate an actual marketing strategy y'all see how drake had the face first single teased an ice man one when nobody noticed because he was just playing the beat but but he was mouting the words to which one. NBA young boy could have that type of marketing strategy, but he ultimately just does not care. So when you really look at these artists

Starting point is 00:04:39 and figure out that they could care less about the art form and the way they're constructing their marketing strategies, and then they put out a 50 gazillion track album, you start to realize why I have certain problems with that, especially covering the entire music landscape, and of course in the midst of hip hop having one of its worst years as far as consumption compared to other genres because i'm hip hop i'm r and b first and then i cover a lot of other genres doing that openings your perspective to realize hold on now hip hop artists are cutting us short hip hop artists are doing a lot of things that is not going to extra mile that some of these other genres are doing which is why they may see towards the top. So anyways, I believe Massa, after saying all that,

Starting point is 00:05:32 I believe that Massa is going to sell well. I do believe having a 30-track album is just egregious. If you're not Chris Brown, there's no reason for you to be putting out a 30-track album. I just don't know why he did it. Actually, I do. I mean, it's for streaming. But ultimately, very lazy. But if his fan base is going to put up with it, then, hey, maybe the Massa titling for

Starting point is 00:05:54 its album is very fitting. So that being said, click my link to you in my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about NBA Young Boys album, Massa? And of course, will you be going to watch NBA Young Boy on tour when his tour ultimately starts September 1st, 2025 in Dallas?
