Starting point is 00:00:04 I wonder, do y'all think Drake would try to go out and buy a physical copy of this movie? Just to say he owns another piece of her. Nah, let me cheer. All right, my fault. My fault, right? As a Drake stand, I couldn't help myself. But you know what? I can't help myself to one of the better looking movies of 2024.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Because let me tell you something. When we're talking about creativity at its highest, Burrell Williams is one of those individuals because this biopic basically in the format of Lego animations is insane never been done before as far as in hip-hop biopics so expect to see a lot of copycats if this ends up being successful
Starting point is 00:00:56 because at first glance and even I've heard from, you know, a broader age group, this is not intriguing or appealing to them. So as far as the box office, that will only tell if this would be copied again and again for the foreseeable future. Because it looks like a kid movie, but it's about, it's a hip-hop biopic. So it's really nothing kiddish about it, you know. But the animation would definitely throw certain age. groups off as far as going to watch it like imagine being like telling your 60 70 50 year old
Starting point is 00:01:36 homies that you're about to go watch a lego movie right they ain't trying to hear what it's about they're gonna say no so anyways um this movie comes out october 11th 2024 directed by morgan neville now i don't know who morgan neville is but i assume he's a pretty great director because his distribution is focused features and they do not cut any corners when it comes to quality. And especially just being a Lego movie in general, I don't know, and maybe this is the bias or the kid inside of me coming out. I don't think I've ever seen a bad Lego movie. Y'all have to remind me, but I don't think I've ever seen a bad movie in Lego animation.
Starting point is 00:02:25 I don't know what it is about the Lego animation, but it just makes it seem like a lot of it. it's just larger than life. Because who in the world would dislike a Lego movie after putting so much emphasis on just the
Starting point is 00:02:41 creation of it? If you've seen the behind the scenes of Lego movies, it almost makes you enjoy the actual movie even more because people are spending day in and day out animating this movie scene by scene by scene. And then for it to come
Starting point is 00:02:57 out like the finished product, I think is just something to be amazed at in itself anyways so this is obviously a feral williams life story biopic it's inspired by his childhood love of legos and him just wanted to create something different for his particular biopic like what's something that hasn't been done before and he found it with this lego with this use of lego animation so of course feral williams voiced uh uh uh by himself and the supporting cast is a plethora of people. I mean, we have Hendrick is a part of this. Jay-Z is a part of this.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Snoop Dogg is a part of this. Justin Timberlake, Timberlin, and way more. I would be interested to see if they put Kanye in this. I'm not going to lie to you. They put Kanye in this. Like, they don't have to get a different voice actor. Like, that's how far gone Kanye is at this point. Like he's still, you know, able to do the voice acting.
Starting point is 00:04:05 But let's just say we would prefer somebody else because Kanye messed around and leaked the whole script on the internet. You know what I'm saying? He'd be like, man, forget Lego. They should have made me a biopic first and leaked the whole script. You know what I'm saying? So hopefully they don't get him for this movie. But what I will say is that the whole aspect of this being a biopic of Pharrell leads it to be a biopic of hip-hop. If you don't know the amount of song.
Starting point is 00:04:30 that Pharrell Williams has been a part of it's insane so I mean if you just go from generations he still has diamond hits and I'm trying to look it up because I want to be I want to look up the actual songs that like what's it and I want to look up the ranking basically so you know happy is of course his most successful track ever and let me see get lucky with daff punk is the second most successful record ever blurred lines with robin thick and ti which is controversial because i believe they like just straight up stole that from somebody
Starting point is 00:05:15 like they're just straight up just Elvis Presley that from somebody it was like hey give me that sound and they just ran with it so blurred lines is that's not that's not an that's not an achievement uh fronten featuring jZ uh so that's why you'll probably see jZ and then you have have Maryland Monroe. So that would be the top five, but I'm not counting blurred lines. Let me see. And then as far as the sixth one, I don't even know. It doesn't give me it. Okay. So anyways, those are top five, statistically speaking. But, you know, personally, I would snatch blurred lines out of there because I just, you know, people talk about Drake
Starting point is 00:06:05 and ghost riding, but they basically stole a whole song that was already popular. Like, it's kind of what Future did to Tim's when Tim's had the track higher bubbling not even bubbling it was supremely popular on the charts and future just came used it for wait for you you slap Drake on it and now's the number one single in the world like hey the grace will run with your sound won't they so anyways that's one of the things I uh really despise but as a creative I feel like it shouldn't hurt as much because you could just create again like people who can't create is usually just limited to copying creators. So anyways, with that being said,
Starting point is 00:06:47 this biopic was seemingly pushed by Farrell, but Farrell came out and said that initially he was resistant to the idea but was convinced by the creator freedom offered by Lego animation. So that was pretty interesting. Because on the trailer, it seems like he's the one who came up with the idea. but according to feral himself lego animation approached him so the director morgan neville was able to
Starting point is 00:07:21 you know innovate a lot with directing but at the end of the day it's only so much you can innovate in a biopic you know i mean not too many creative freedoms you can take with my life you know i mean so what else i think that's basically it i mean feral williams is coming out with a animated bio pick and the reason why i even wanted to highlight this is because i just think it shows just artistry and creativity on another level and it's just one of the bigger displays of creativity i've seen in a while as far as something being unique and personable at the same time because usually lego movies are like batman superhero type films like it's not really too serious so for this lego movie to get into the biopic lane
Starting point is 00:08:09 remember what I'm saying this is going to be copied if it's successful at the box office and even if it's not successful at the box office I wouldn't be surprised people just copy this just because you know what I mean that is just one of those type of ideas where you use a Lego to tell the life of your story I mean that's just beyond creative I don't know why nobody's thought of it like it's one of those you know something's creative when you look at it and you think to yourself why hasn't no one done this before that's usually the let me scale for how creative somebody is so anyways um yeah man that's basically it i'm probably well not probably i'm most likely going to put this on the cover of my episode but this is mostly a gaming episode and i will highlight i'm going to highlight this on my episode solely for the fact that i think out of all the news i've seen regarding music this creatively is the most intriguing one Now is it the one that makes me the most excited? No, because I can't wait for June 19th to see how Kendrick just shuts down LA. But obviously, can't have Kendrick twice on back-to-back episodes.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Like at that point, my Drake Stan car will get taken away. So anyways, we're going to have this one up. Farrell and his Lego version and basically, you know, promoting his movie that's set to come out October 11th, 2024. And it's titled, Peace by Peace. With that being said, click my link to your my bio. Let me know one of my social media is. What do you think about Farrell Williams putting out a Lego biopic October 11th? And will you be giving it a watch?
