Starting point is 00:00:03 Stop it. Y'all quit playing. Quit plan. I didn't do this stuff. This is not me. Y'all, I'm fighting for my fucking life. Y'all, kill me with this shit. I can't.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Robert. Aubrey. As a Drake fan, you're making it hard, man. You're making it hard. And that's no ditty. So anyways. um Drake has put out another musical offering first it was the legendary sexy red definitely not being sarcastic in any stretch of the imagination and then it was this artist comedic or artist comedian i don't know who this man is maybe both and he calls himself well he titled it on some six slack you know the singer who's
Starting point is 00:01:08 name is pronounced black but tight as a well the first letter should be a B but it's a 6 I think he's doing the same thing here as I believe his name is supposed to be pronounced
Starting point is 00:01:20 snow day but it's snow D4Y so anyways Drake is Snow Day I'm just going to pronounce it like I think he wants it to be pronounced if it's no D4 Y then I apologize
Starting point is 00:01:36 but this is new track titled Waguang-Dilala. Now, what could this be a playoff of? Of course, the 2005 classic, Hey there, Delilah. Why is this a big deal?
Starting point is 00:01:53 Simply for the fact that Kendrick, from public perception viewpoint, from public perception viewpoint, got demolished, obliterated, torn apart by Kendrick Lamar. personally I think he held his own the information that he presented while some was easily debunked others still hold credence to this day I mean at some point Whitney alfred could easily come out and say why is Drake lying on Kendrick why hasn't she done that he literally said that in the heart
Starting point is 00:02:35 part six but people still continue to shoot bail for kendrick based off of his lyrics and the way that he said drake was a pedophile so since the public doesn't care what drake says or anything he could do he just went about it in a whole different route doing a feature for sexy red doing this comedic type of style where he's basically going to to a whole different language y'all know as street fighter once you make it to a certain level and then you unlock like a new stage or a new character whenever drake makes it to a new level in his career he unlocks a new accent and this is just one of the new accents that he's unlocked which incorporates jamaican creole or pattoe patois i don't know what that is commonly spoken
Starting point is 00:03:32 in the greater Toronto areas because of course Drake's Canadian but was not obvious is that he uses a lot of different accents to fit this scenario you know how they say never code switch well Drake is the opposite of that so why Guaradalala is a very interesting track if you go to it as a sonic offering because sonically I would say this track is amazing. But considering the background on what I just told you about him getting publicly obliterated by Kendrick, because I still think he not won the beef, but I think Family Matters is the best track out of the whole discography of Kendrick versus Drake.
Starting point is 00:04:25 That may be a hot take because everybody acts like they're from L.A. now, but they're not like us. But give it some time. I think people will look back on how Drake just. went completely insane on family matters and realized that what drake did on family matters would it took out any other rapper but because it's kendrick and he's able to go to that whole cultural currency that he talked about throughout most of his disses and he tied a lot of statements that were just blatantly false but the public didn't care they ran with it so now we have a a pedophile anthem and the top two hits in the world you know what I mean like one of the most
Starting point is 00:05:05 successful tracks in the world as a pedify anthem who would have thunk so anyways um this song is obviously a parody i'm not taking this serious neither should you but one of the things you should take serious is the fact that drake puts out these type of tracks when certain actions proceeded now look up to tutsi slide look up the background of that track as far as the the content the lyric the lyrical contents of that track and you will come to realize what drake is seemingly doing most times when he makes these dance tracks for tic-tok is that he's trying to also incorporate mob ties aka non law-abiding activities throughout the verse now i'm not the police right I'm gonna let y'all figure out how Tootsy Slat and how this track can have some potentially, some potential clues when it comes to non-law-abiding activities, right?
Starting point is 00:06:16 Because people are just going to be listening as from a Sonic standpoint and they just will go on about their day. But me being a Drake stand, I know how he tries to get across his mob ties in a way that doesn't make him seem overly obsessive on the fact that he wants to be seen as a gangster. But he definitely has to spread it throughout here as even in this playful, Hey There Delilah parody, he's still singing about real street stuff, which if you don't know, there's a lot of stuff going on in Toronto that's very serious that the Kendrick beef pales in comparison to as far as it being, as far as the severity of the Kendrick versus Drake. what Drake is going through in Toronto on the severity scale is is way higher than what he currently just went through with the Kendrick beef so there's that and that's the last clue I'm
Starting point is 00:07:19 gonna give you all so because at the end of the day is Drake and he still has a superstar um market to attack and it's hard to attack that market when brands look at you as a brand risk because of what you're attached to. So it's easier to put certain messages in a playful comedic parody like Hey There Delilah. Hopefully I'll follow me with that breakdown. You know, I try to code it in a way that's not just being DJ Vlad, you know what I mean? Or FBI Vlad, even though I like Vlad, don't kill me. I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:07:57 I like the platform and everything. You know, it's just funny. But as far as Vlad and the way he goes about. breaking down certain things and connecting it to crimes i'm not going to do that but i'm just going to let y'all know that there's more beneath the surface and um only time would tell and the future will reveal uh certain aspects of what i'm talking about but for right now hey drake's just making a parody right just something comedic nothing too serious and he's just giving snow day uh highlight in his career that would be substantial for him and hopefully he capitalizes
Starting point is 00:08:33 off of it because lord knows um four bats didn't but hey you know my fault my fault that's my last shot at four bats i know he's probably somewhere thinking why in the world did i sign to drake i should have just listened to analytic dreams telling me that if drake hops on your biggest hit as an up-and-coming artist your career's over so anyways um with that being said click my link tree in my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about snow day and his track why Aguan Delilah and what do you think about Mr. Code Switch hopping on it and do you think the verse was fire or trash?
