You know, I don't even know what to make of this song.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Cuevo and his ability to make a chorus is unmatched.
I love the way he puts choruses together.
Him, Sway Lee, Tadala sign, party next door.
I feel like choruses just come natural to them.
So to hear Cuevo make a chorus over a country-infused beat
mixing country and hip hop
I think
what he did
is very
hard to distinguish
for the simple fact that
how many times
are we going to get
an Old Town Road
ripoff before we say
enough is enough
now I'm not hating right
I'm not hating
all I'm saying is
this sounds exactly
like Old Town Road
Luke Bryan came on
like Billy Ray Cyrus
in Old Town Road
to a point where he was rapping,
rapping as a country artist, mind you,
rapping,
and Cuevo was in the background doing ad-libs.
Rest and peace to take off,
but the country version of the Migos is not what we need.
Cuevo, Teddy Swims, and Luke Bryan
was definitely cooking up in the studio
when they made this track.
But as far as how it comes across,
it's a little forced as far as what we just received from Shibuzi.
maybe if we didn't have an avalanche of great country content we will let this slide but we have a whole
peak album from shabuzzi which is hip hop and country peak album from biance which is hip hop and country
i'm not going to say peak album from post post malone he basically got carried i mean he had like
what 50 million features on on every single track so we're going to leave that album to the stop but
basically a lot of country music has came and was phenomenal to the point where this track just
seems like it's just forcing it just a tad bit now the only way i could see this having some credence
is if the georgia bulldogs take this as the anthem because this is set up to be a walkout
anthem for the football team that is georgia if you don't know georgia is a football team and
collegiate sports right very pivotal in the game of college because let me check my espion
in that. Let me get on my Stephen A tip. Pulse.
Georgia, I believe it's ranked,
and I think they're going to be in the college football playoffs.
That's how you know I haven't watched sports in forever.
Let me see.
How do you even find it?
Let me see.
Okay, so Georgia is the fifth best team in the world,
according to the rankings.
So they're definitely going to be in the college football playoffs.
There's definitely a list out there as far as the,
Uh, yeah, there's a list out there.
Okay, so analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio.
But basically, I'm going to pull up the playoffs right here.
So if the Georgia Bulldogs come out to this track, I could see it having some sort of credence as far as how it's, uh, let me see.
Into how it's like formatted.
Because I do believe.
Okay.
Okay.
I think this is it.
Okay, so this is the overall bracket for the college football players,
analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with audio.
But as you can see, Georgia's rank number five, right?
This is the 12-team bracket.
So basically, they have a chance to go to the championship.
And if they use this as an anthem, I could see it having some sort of boost as far as the organic play on the masses.
They're like, oh, what is the anthem?
Oh, it's Cuevo, is Luke Bryan, or is, who else is on this track?
Teddy swims like oh we got it we got to give it a listen you know fomo's going to kick in so that's the only way i could see this track having some sort of explosion as far as on the charts because quality wise i'm not even going to lie it's not a bad song but it's definitely forced especially coming off of the year where a lot of high quality hip hop and country infused music and content was given us from one shabuzzi and bianca the reason why i keep shouting them out is because i don't want to say oh this is trash and i give y'all
alternatives to listen to. What Shabuzi did, as far as infusing country and hip hop,
is the best I've ever heard. I think he put out a classic. To this day, I'm not trying to spoil
my list, but I'm basically going to spoil it. That's my favorite album of 2024. Where I've been
isn't where I'm going is my favorite album about Shibuzzi. Beyonce's Cowboy Carter is in my top five.
So that should let you know how I feel about those particular albums. So when it comes to this
track, I think it's following the footsteps of those, but it's a, it's following a, it's following
in a very forced fashion.
So the only way I can see this having any longevity
is if the Georgia Bulldogs carry this as the anthem
for the college football playoffs.
And the timing is also very important
because the track came out before the college football playoffs.
And I don't know when the first round is,
but obviously Georgia, like I was showing you,
hold me bring this back up.
As I was showing you, they're in the first round.
And they're playing Indiana.
Obviously they're going to blow them out by like 100 points.
but if they come out to it,
I think it can help out
for the overall stats of the track.
So with that being said,
I mean, I don't like Hayden on Quovoca.
I think he makes phenomenal choruses.
I think he's one of the greatest chorus makers ever in hip-hop.
So with that being said, you know,
hopefully this track does well
with the hip-hop in both country artists
being very popular in the own right.
I think them coming together to put out this
will by itself put it some type of, give it some type of boost on the charts.
But overall, I find it's going to be interesting to see if this is going to.
Oh, actually, hold up.
I'm glad I saw this.
So basically, this track was played.
So it was debuted during Georgia versus Georgia Tech's football game.
That's interesting because how would you feel if he was Georgia Tech?
You know this anthem is for Georgia.
I know it's a Georgia ways, but come on now.
You know which team this is for.
You know what sideline Quavo is always on.
It's Georgia, not Georgia Tech.
No disrespect to Georgia Tech.
I'm just putting it out there.
I mean, facts, not fiction.
So anyways, and apparently it featured prominently
on the Jumbotron, MTV, CMT, and ESPN.
Oh, this song's about to take off.
Okay, so they already have the machines backing it.
All right, I stand corrected.
This song's going to be around.
I did not see this tidbit.
And basically, you know, this is going to be a pivotal track
throughout Georgia's college football playoff run.
And I do think it's going to be a long one because
call me SEC BOT.
Well, actually, they play Texas.
I do think Texas is the best team.
I'm not trying to get my Stephen A tip pause,
but I do believe Texas is going to come out as the best team
as far as this year.
So I think they're going to win the college football playoffs.
It's interesting they have all the SEC teams on the same side,
but I think that's on purpose because they're like three lost team.
Well, Alabama's three laws.
Georgia's two laws.
So yeah, that makes sense.
All right, anyways, so that being said, I stand corrected.
This is going to be around for a minute.
So that would be said, click my link to you in my bio.
Let me know on one of my social media is,
do you think this is the next Georgia anthem?
And do you, well, aside from that,
do you think this track is hot, is fire or trash?
