on our internet and a litigure, aka Dreams, and I'd like to welcome you to mine, which I call the notorious mass effect podcast. I'm your hip-hop and gaming news source with a little bit of R&B mixed in. For episode 115, we definitely have a lot to get into because the Super Bowl happened,

the Grammys happened, and for some reason, Hogwarts Legacy has already made a claim for one of the best games of 2023, and we're only two. months in. So we're going to be getting into what are topics to get to tell you the topics in order. We're going from the Super Bowl 2023 halftime show to high fire rush and what that is in the sales that it's accomplished. Then we're going to get into Hogwarts legacy sales and reviews. And then

we're going to finish with the 2023 Grammy Awards recap. Now, I know usually for my episodes, I give a little update on just the process in general. And what I can say is, Red Circle has been the best host, a experienced podcaster could have. Because in general, as far as, as far as getting on the platform, hold on, I'm hearing myself. All righty. So for the people listen to after the fact, y'all probably won't understand. But I'm live streaming right now. So I was hearing myself in my ear that was not trying to.

I'm not trying to have that. But for the most part, what was I saying? Oh, yeah. Okay, so for me, switching hosting was a stressful process. But at this point in the process, I would say Red Circle has made this experience, this current experience, the most seamless that I've ever had as far as uploading and just having content in different spaces. While also, of course, bringing in revenue because that's not like the only reason I do this. but at this point as many years as I've been doing this

which has been like five I think we're going on six five to six I think it's five anyways for the most part red circle has made this whole process super easy and as you can probably tell we've got the ball rolling with some partnerships and just different brands and advertisements and that's only because the platform doing well so i mean that's a testament to the people who support and listen on a weekly basis on the

day that well i would say day to day basis but it's mostly on a weekly basis because uh i mean i upload stuff weekly uh except for my social medias you know shameless plug follow my social medias at analytic dreams uh i post on their daily to keep up with the latest gaming and hip-hop news and as always um click that bell icon and make sure to follow and uh subscribe for youtube And for Twitch, what should I say for Twitch?

I don't know, I'm new to Twitch, but, you know, definitely follow my YouTube. That's the one that's been going crazy at analytic dreams, you know, shameless plug. But anyways, that's my whole update. Red Circle has been the greatest host I can ask for and have definitely helped me when sustaining my whole business business plan if that makes sense anyways okay before we get into the topics of course i'm a reiterate

And then, once more, make sure to click that bell icon for my YouTube viewers and also for my Twitch viewers. I don't know what y'all do over there. I should probably know, but I don't, so you know what I mean?

I'm sorry. But for the most of all, I definitely appreciate y'all. Yeah, so with that being said, let's get into the first topic, which is Super Bowl, 23 half time show. So apparently Rihanna or Rihanna, which way you want to say it? Because of course the Navy is pretty humongous in size as far as a fan base. And I don't want them to be mad at me. So all I got to say is Rihanna had no idea that she was pregnant before she took the Super Bowl halftime show event.

Because in general, if you do the timeline, And of course, for me, personally, I didn't really care as much to do the timeline and the backtrack. But a lot of women, particularly from the Navy, because, you know, that's how dedicated fans, that's how dedicated they are to Rihanna. They was like, how does she have her second child when she already had her first child and the timelines don't? And then they realized they would have been after, because I don't know, man. They was talking about you have to give a little break after you have the child or something like that. So they was doing the timeline and everything, and they was like,

she couldn't have known before she took the Super Bowl gig that she was pregnant. Now, Rihanna actually coming out and confirming this, saying that she had no idea she would have a baby on board when she agreed to headline the Super Bowl just confirms that the Navy is once again one of the most dedicated fan bases that we have in music. I mean, you want to talk about the Beehive,

you want to talk about the Barbes, What else? That's basically it. For dedicated fan bases, it doesn't come more, it doesn't come more attention to detail than that. Because the Navy, the Beehive, and the Barbes are in the league of their own. And I know I just named three, but if you realize how many musicians there are in the industry, and then you think about Beyonce Rihanna and Nikki Minaj and their respective fan bases, you would understand that they are just different. and there's a reason why they've

lasted the test of time and of course the supporters is a it's just an addition to that but what I really wanted to get into was the viewership because apparently now apparently

Brianna and her Super Bowl performance had way more eyes and listeners than the Super Bowl itself. Now of course the halftime show is not that long I mean I think it's like 20 to 30 minutes long but for the most part the super bowl is one of the biggest events that american sports have i mean of course there's um the world cup and then a lot of fiefa different tournaments but is it fita i think

i said the video game i mean basically soccer well football the um that's confusing soccer in their tournaments they have a lot more eyes as compared to like american sports that's why they get paid so much like Ronaldo, Messi, all them get paid way more than your favorite athlete in America. So anyways, so for the Super Bowl, you know, the viewership wasn't really what it was supposed to be. So when Rihanna got on, actually it showcased that her performance, granted, she has been away since like, since 2019, I think. I don't think she's performed since 2019. I could be mistaken, but she's taking a huge hiatus from just music in general. So even her coming back was a surprise. But anyways, her performance was the second most watched Super Bowl halftime show

on record with 118 million viewers, almost 119. I don't know why they just didn't round up, but I guess you, you know. And they also said that it was right behind Katie Perry's 2015 performance, but the network neglected to mention Katie Perry's exact total. So that's interesting. So why would they say Rihanna's second? If they don't even want to give us the numbers to Katie Perry's, I'm just going to mess around and say that Rihanna could have messed around and had the most viewed halftime show of all time.

But that's not really going to the narrative of people wanting to watch the Super Bowl. because if you look at the viewership, which I definitely had the chart, but the chart went away with this website. But for the most part, what we was going to look at was just the different graph. The graph of viewership while the Super Bowl was going. And let's just say the first and second quarter was way higher than the third and fourth. And of course at halftime, it was the highest because it was Rihannas. So it was like a gradual increase, well, incline. And that's what I say it.

And then you get to the, you get to Rihanna's performance. And it's just on a steady decline after that. And that's pretty interesting. I mean, it went up a little bit in the fourth quarter because, of course, everybody wants to see how it ends. But for the most part, it's pretty interesting to see how Americans really don't watch sports like that. Like, in general, you would think football would bring the most attention in the world. I mean, you know how much they're charging.

or how much they charge for a Super Bowl commercial? Like, that's just insane. And to look at these numbers dip, it's like, well, how can you keep charging that amount for the Super Bowl if the viewership is not there? And, of course, I'm not acting like nobody's watching. Of course, everybody's watching the Super Bowl. But for the most part, when it comes to soccer, when it comes to international sports of that magnitude, like the World Cup, then the Super Bowl is, it just pales in comparison. But some people will say, I don't think the World Cup happens every year.

So maybe that's, maybe that's why. So, but yeah, that was the biggest thing. Rihanna really outperformed as far as statistics and viewership and everything that Jay-Z was assigned to do as far as entertainment for the NFL, he surpassed because if you don't know, Jay Z's over the entertainment, whatever label for the NFL. So he oversees all this. I mean, why do you think Eminem, Dr. Jerry, and Kendrick Lamar performed?

It wasn't because of the NFL. I'll tell you that. I mean, I'm not even that old. I mean, I'm not even that young. But for the most part, I'm still, like, cognizant of when everybody was like, we have to boycott the NFL. And that was, like, what, three years ago? Like, it wasn't really that long ago when everybody was saying we got to boycott the NFL.

And now we got Rihanna, got Dr. Dre, I think it was Snoop Dogg as well. Snoop Dog, Eminem, Kendrick performing, and all of that happened because they signed Jay-Z to look over or be the head of the talent division. So what else was I saying? So when Jay-Z took over, the whole fiasco happened when he was like, okay, it's time to stop kneeling. Like literally, that's what he said. said in a press conference. Like probably one of the top three worst things he could have said. Because if you don't remember, that's the whole Kaepernick situation.

And then the George Floyd thing happened. And then we was in the midst of COVID. So NFL wasn't doing rights, wasn't doing right to so many instances that they had to get Jay-Z to oversee and kind of coddle us to get us more in line to follow the NFL's entertainment. plan. But for the most part, I mean, NFL as well. I mean, you saw it to view of ship, people watched the NFL. Also, the weekend. The weekend was under Jay-Z supervision, of course. But, yeah, that's basically what happened. I mean, the NFL was under so much scrutiny by black people in so many different areas that they was just like, okay, let's just hire one of them

and then get them to get off our back. And guess what? They hired Jay-Z and nobody's boy kind of the NFL no more and it's kind of crazy but um i forgot about that because that was pretty serious like a lot of people was really seriously contemplating like man should we really stop watching like it was like to the point where um and that was the year when i think the Patriots and whoever had like a 13 to 14 score like the NFL was down bad like but um now i guess it's back man i don't know i guess you hire you know you hire one of us and everybody just forget what happens so um anyways of course Rihanna's boyfriend A's at Rocky was there supporting as you would hope a significant other would I mean just you know having Rihanna as your partner you probably would be a little bit enthusiastic when you're supporting so um it was nice to see that from Rocky and also the whole revealing that she was pregnant during the performance because everybody was like didn't she already have a child so this must mean and then they had a realization that she was pregnant again So, you know, a lot of the fallen soldiers out there wishing they could have been there, you know what I mean, prayers out to you.

You know what I mean? You're going to find one one day, you know what I mean? Find one for you, you know what I'm saying? But for this one, you know, it's definitely for A's Savraki as they're going to make like a beautiful family. You know what I mean? A lot of fashionistas walking or running around because I think they had a boy. So, yeah, just a lot of fashion. examples around that child as far as Rihanna and Aesap.

And I know a lot of people was giving credit to Kanye with Rihanna's whole appearance and the whole stage being looking like a level at a Super Mario Bros or Super Smash Bros. But for the most part, I think that Rihanna has his own style when it comes to her stage and just the way that she performs in general. So I think for Kanye is different because, of course, Kanye plays a lot of, attention to detail when it comes to live action performances, which is why he's one of the goats and music. But I don't think Rihanna specifically ripped off Kanye. But I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if she was heavily influenced, which is what people was kind of insinuating.

Because if you don't know, once again, Rihanna Kanye falls under that JZ umbrella. And so they probably would have been around each other enough to learn that, oh, maybe I should try to try to or maybe I should do this, you know. So I wouldn't put it past Rihanna, but I don't think she's just blatantly ripping off Kanye. What else? I guess I haven't given my review of the performance. I would say that I would have preferred Rihanna to not be pregnant during her performance

because, I mean, obviously, how are you going to tell a woman not to be pregnant? Like, don't do what you want to do with your body. That's not what I'm saying. It's basically, like, for the Super Bowl, it happens every year. So why not wait, like, you know, have the child and wait to give us, like, a performance of a lifetime where you can move around, because I don't know if y'all know but like rihanna can really perform so i feel like the baby was a hindrance to her as um choreography goes like as you can see she had a lot of dances which is something

i know all the time when a when an artist can't really move how they want to or if they can't dance in general because riana can dance but you know she had the baby so she probably didn't want to do too much but let's say artist b can't dance at all probably will have a lot of choreographers to take your eye off her or him as they dance around them for the spectacle. And that's kind of what Rihanna did. So I would have preferred her to be in her prime, I guess, as far as a artist. But as far as the singing, like, she definitely surpassed my expectations because that much of a hiatus from the craft and to still come back and deliver a live action performance like that.

And as you can tell, she was singing at points. and when she wasn't what they had playing in the background didn't even sound as good as her singing live so i'm like okay that's how you know she's different like it kind of reminds me of um the weekend when he sings at live performances because he can really sing almost better than what he records in the studio like like live action singing it's like a skill that like those two artists have really mastered so it was a master class on uh breath control and just sonically being inclined, you know, just being different than all the other singers that they're compared to. So, yeah, I would say the performance was a solid, I would say probably a six or

seven at 10 because it wasn't bad. It was just like middle of the row because, I mean, she's pregnant. She can't really do too much, but what she did do, it was fantastic. So she was able to move around a little bit more. I probably would have gave her eight. But yeah, so that's my That's my review for the Super Bowl halftime show. So I'm not going to spend too much time on it on it. That was basically what I wanted to get into. And so click my link to you in my bio. Let me know in one of my social medias.

What do you think about the Super Bowl 2023 halftime show performance? And who's your personal favorite halftime performers, a performer of all time? Now we're going to get into the one and only game pass edition. high-fi rush and one of the most unexpected turns in the gaming industry for 2023 now i know what you're thinking what is this game and that is a great question because when i first started watching the game when i first started learning more about the mechanics and who made the game i started to realize that i have never seen a rhythm-based action game ever and i've never played it before so for high-fi rush to have the different sales and the different exposure to the masses that it has right now.

Being off of game pass, and also, in addition to that, outperforming full-blown AAA games like For Spoken, which High Five Rush is technically a AAA game, I think. But For Spoken to have the launch and the press that Forspoken was getting from PlayStation, and to be outperformed by a $30 to $35 game in high-fire rush, it's very interesting to how that dynamic works and the landscape of gaming,

because now you're going to look at a game that's what? On Game Pass, technically, if you have the game passes for free, but if you don't want to pay for game pass and you want to pay for the game itself, then I believe it's like $20 to $30. I believe it's not like the full. with $70. But it's obviously only for PC Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. And what else?

There was another thing I wanted to get into. Oh yeah. And then for Steam, of course, so it's on Game Pass, right? But then for Steam, it had a better overall launch week than for Spoken despite being, yeah, okay, despite being $30 while for Spoken, is 70. So imagine outselling a $70 game, only having the price tag of 30,

and also being quote unquote for free on the Xbox game pass. Now, I like to make the joke a lot of times. I got this from Gaming Aluminati, so you know, shout out to them. But Xbox has no games. That's my favorite joke in the gaming space, you know? But for the past two years, or one and a half depending on what you count.

But Xbox has been winning this console race. As far as the PS5 versus the Xbox Series X, the Xbox Series X has been winning this console race as far as the newest iterations. Now, of course, in my humble opinion, PS4 blew the Xbox one out of the water. I mean, I don't even think it was close. but a lot of people say the Xbox 360

blew the the PS3 I think it was PS3 yeah out of the water was it a PS3 PS2 I think it was the PS3 I forget but the Xbox 360 was one of the best consoles of all time

if not the best you know so for the PS4 it wasn't on the level of the Xbox 360 but it did noticeably win the console race when it came to Microsoft so now that the race is turning to the other side with the Xbox Series X outperforming the PS5

I mean think about it God of War Ragnarok I mean everybody said it was way too many puzzles and the story was technically mid and then you get into Horizon Forbidden West which got completely I mean completely outshined by Eldon Ring they can't have they literally couldn't have picked the worst time to drop a game like that

like any game would have got watched by elton ring but man horizon for spoken to be a console exclusive and one of the figureheads of this whole sony exclusive of like mantra like as far as like if there was the like let's say the mcc right if there was the the the captain america ironman and thor of the ps5 it would be horizon god of war and spider man right i would say so But we completely outshined by Eldring. Granted, it didn't know Elder Ring was going to go that crazy. Like, it just got completely outshine. That was unexpected.

But nowadays, the GamePas formula in today's climate also is a tribute to Microsoft because with inflation and just the way the economy is going with not everybody, having the funds to pay for every single game the game passes the perfect way to go back to modern day red box a blockbuster but just in the digital age you pay a certain amount and you get all these things for free or not for free you're renting quote unquote but basically you get so many games at your disposal with just a monthly fee of I think like 15 I forget how much it is but if you pay like let's say you play like four or five games right you already to make your money back that's basically what i'm saying so the game pass model in today's climate

also is helping the xxx outperform the pfive so with high-fi rush also being a part of that with it being included in the game pass and not only it being included in the game pass but once again outselling popular exclusive titles on PlayStation like For Spoken via Steam while For Spoken is 70 and High Fire Rush is 30 You start to understand that maybe Microsoft

wasn't so crazy with going with their game pass model So that's basically what I wanted to get into Because of course at the end of the day this is always going to be about whether you're a Sony pony or a Microsoft bot you know what mean and at it for me i mean i don't have no allegiance to either i'm a huge spider-man fans so all right you already know by force i had to come over to sony like i love playing on my x-box 360 realized that x-parks wasn't getting any more spider-man games and playstation was so guess what

my first PlayStation literally was the bundle to get the ps4 along well the spider-man ps4 game along with it. So I don't really have no allegiance to any console, but if Spider-Man is going to be limited to one console, I'm going to be getting that one every time. So I've had to put up with these controllers. And that's one thing I will say is the biggest improvement with the PS5. It's definitely the controller. They finally just straight up ripped off Microsoft. And I'm glad they did because those those girly controllers for Sony that they used to give us for the longest, it's just the worst controllers known to man. Like, I don't understand. whose hand fits around those controllers comfortably.

Like, every time I hold one of those controllers, I just feel like I'm just holding my hands together because it's just such a skinny controller. Like, I don't understand. And then the Xbox controller, it's like a beefy, more of a heavy-filled controller. And for the PS5 controller, they just finally ripped off the Xbox.

So I'm glad they did that. That's probably the biggest addition to Sony. But, yeah, so High Five Rush. I mean, the reviews that came in, there was different a lot of publications was given the 9 out of 10s like IGN games radar gave it

what is that 4 out of 5 I don't know 4 stars out of 5 Metro Game Central gave it an 8 out of 10 game informer gave it an 8.8 out of 10 game spot gave it a 9 out of 10 so you know high fire has a lot of high reviews no pun intended but

and also the color shading scheme for the graphics. It's also something to note as it's unique in appearance, but it gives it a kid type of feel. If you get into the story, it's definitely not a kid's type of story. Like, I'm not going to say it's just straight up, like Gore and rated art, definitely not that. But, you know, it's not your, oh, it looks like this. So it's going to be some kiddie, you know, easy to predict story. It's a pretty solid storyline. And, The main character, the funniest thing for me was watching it and watching the main character be on beat while playing the game. Because once again, this is a rhythm-based action game.

So they actually have the character model like going along with the in-game music. It's kind of fire. I ain't going to lie. You have to watch the game for yourself to understand. But High-Fy Rush is one of those games where I feel like in the long run, Xbox is going to look back on this. And they're going to just be patting themselves on the back. because who would have thought that this GamePas model would have worked out? I mean, we've seen it time and time again that they come and go.

I mean, Blockbuster, Red Box, I can't think of any other ones, but you pay a little bit to rent a game and then you give it back. Like, you've seen that model come and go. Oh, Gamefly. But for right now, it seems like Xbox GamePass, the digital way of doing it is more impactful currently. and definitely in today's climate, which is why I think it's more impactful

because not everybody can afford full-priced games all the time. So yeah, man, another dove for Xbox, man, and Xbox Game Pass. So click my link to my bio, let me know in one of my social media is, what do you think about High Fire Rush and what do you think about the sales

and outselling full-blown $70 games on Steam being from the Xbox Game Pass? now we're going to get into hog works legacy um the overview the sales and the overall reviews and then i'm going to give my own personal opinion on it and then we're going to and then we're going to see what y'all think about it because this is this is hoggworth's legacy is definitely a touchy subject for some people so we're going to get into it right now Hogwarts Legacy is an immersive open world action RPG set in the world introduced in the Harry Potter books. Now, before I go any farther, I have to say that I've never read or watched any Harry Potter material.

So getting into Hogwarts Legacy was an eye opener for me to see all these different unique things flying around and spells being casted and different type of monsters and just a visual experience of being in the world of Harry Potter, I've never found intriguing. Like, I feel like superheroes, anime, and whatever Hogwarts legacy falls under, it's three different nerd categories and you can only pick one. And for me, that's always been superheroes, man. For me, I'm a nerd for superheroes, but not so much casting special. and saying, you know, hocus, uh, Pocus and all that other stuff, you know what I mean,

I don't, I don't really wishcraft, all that stuff. I don't really do it, you know what I mean? And for anime, I just feel like with me being such a superhero nerd, it would take way much, it will take way more time than I have to, to learn that much about anime. So Harry Potter was always on my back burner. I mean, I think the closest I got to all that magic. Spell, casting, all that stuff was in the Percy Jackson books with Greek mythology. And even some people will say that's completely different, which I understand. But yeah, so that's my confession to y'all. I have nothing to give you as far as personal experiences with Harry Potter.

So with that being said, Hogwarts Legacy is set in 1800s. You know what I mean? I just realized Hogwarts Experience is set in the 1800s I'm not going to do it I'm not going to make it racy

but let's just say you can make a black character and that's all I got to say your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart now you can take control of action

and be at the center of your own adventure in the wizarding world. Your legacy is what you make it. Don't you love to hear that? Anyways, it's an open world RPG, I think I already said that. You can be a wizard. That's another thing that they're saying you can do.

And then also, you can experience a new wizarding adventure. So hopefully that does something for you. But it's on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch. There's no way it's not on Nintendo. Switch. Hold on, give me a second. There's no way this game is on a Nintendo Switch. Have y'all seen games that run on the Nintendo Switch? Like literally the Nintendo Switch might as well be

a handheld at this point because the whole docking system with the switch, like, it has handheld graphics. So there's no need to dock it. It's just going to look even worse. Hogwarts, Nintendo Switch. There's no way it's out on the Nintendo Switch. Let's see. We'll have to wait to July 25th. Okay, I was wondering, yeah, they cap'n. That's not coming out, bro. I want y'all to know right now, Nintendo Switch users, y'all are not getting Hogwarts legacy.

You know, I was like, bro, ain't no way that this game is on a Nintendo Switch. So, yeah, they caping. Because this is on the official website. So the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox 1, and PC, of course. I think they just had to switch on here to feel like they was inclusive.

But let's just say that the graphical capabilities of the Nintendo Switch does not meet Hogwarts Legacy. I can thoroughly 100% confirm that as like just a watcher of the game, like not even playing the game, just watching it and seeing the trouble that the actual consoles are having running it. And then I'm like, no, it's not going to Nintendo Switch. Unless they switch it in general, like unless it's like a completely different game, downgraded and everything, maybe. but I mean what's the most graphically intensive game y'all have on Nintendo Switch what is it the Witcher and even that like come on now anyways um I don't know why they just turned into a bash session of Nintendo but I just could not believe that and you're all like no it's not coming out Nintendo anyways Hogwarts legacy is the top four bestselling game on Steam and along with that

it joins uh call their duty and what else top selling titles it joins collar duty and that's it anyways Hogwarts legacy broke records for the most streams of a single game

with 1.2 a million concurrence concurrent streamers all concurrent streamers or concurrent players what does 1.28 million concurrence. Concurrent what? I'm tripping. Maybe that's just players.

Some players were watching the game. Some were mainly looking for twist drops. Ah, that's funny. What else? Hogwarts legacy peaked at 879,000 players on Steam behind only Cyberpunk 2077 for the most concurrent for a single player game. Also behind Eldon Ring, if you want to consider that mostly single player. Oh, okay, that makes sense because Elder Rings technically not single player game. Like, it's a multi-play game. And I know some people may be upset about that,

but I'm telling you it's like, if you can join a game and have somebody join your game, it's not a single-play game. Like, cyberpunk, um, Spider-Man, God of War, like,

you can't join anybody's game if God of War because it's a single-play game. So I would say Elder Ring is definitely not a single-play game. Single-play game. It's a multi-play game. game um what else that's probably worth taking a look at try to measure sales okay so hoggworth's legacy you know to summarize it is doing fantastic it's killing the charts everybody's looking at it's just like wow i can't believe it's doing this great which that's a lie a lot of people thought hoggwards legacy was going to be a great game it wasn't like high-fi rush which i just finished

talking about if um it should be out after i high-fi should be out before i put this out so So just type in high-fire rush analytic dreams on Amazon, and you should be able to listen to it on, or not I say Amazon, just any podcast platform, and it should pop up. So high-fi-rush analytic dreams, and my review of that should pop up. But for the most part, what I want to get into is Hogwarts Legacy backlash for gamers and not keeping the same energy with a lot of other companies. Now, there's a lot of different things that goes into the society that people just completely neglect. Like, you know, there's oil spills. I mean, I literally just saw some type of chemical spill, and I think it was Ohio. And a lot of people were just making jokes about it.

I mean, to bring up Eldon Ring again, they were saying it was like Khalid or Khalid. They were saying Ohio looked like Khalid after that oil spill. Just making all type of jokes. Meanwhile, animals, animals are dying. Kids are getting rashes. I mean, look this up. this is in Ohio, right? And a lot of people care about things a lot more than actual events that affect your daily life.

And if people will care about more events in life that will affect their daily activity, then I feel like we'll be better in a place as society. Because I feel like people complain about things that really doesn't pertain to them in their walk of life. You know what I mean? and if it does pertain to you in your walk of life, then I feel like that's when it really is justified for you to take action. But for most people, they just speak on it. And that's the, for me, that's my, probably my biggest pet peeve.

It's people just talking about things and not showcasing actual solutions and action. So that's why I have to say about that. But that's the biggest thing, man. A lot of people fake care about certain topics and just, completely disregard and make jokes about other ones that's just as serious, if not more. So, yeah, I don't really have too much to say about the Hogwarts Legacy thing. But what else? So obviously, the reviews for Hogwarts Legacy is pretty fire at this point.

I mean, I don't even think anybody's going to give it a bad review because just across the board, just again, nine out of ten. I mean, nine out of ten from IGN, four out of five from me. Metro 4 to 5 from game rent and then i think game it's a game's probably one of them i don't think they have one yeah push square i don't know what push square is there was another one i think it was games radar or something games red i don't know games radar it gave it a 3.5 at a 5 so that's probably the like the lowest score you're going to see across the board so um yeah man i think hoggore's legacy is a candidate for for game of the year i know only two months in I mean, but look at when Eldon Ring came out.

I mean, I think it came out early 2022, and it was so strong that it ended up winning game of the year. Now am I just making it a lock for Hogwarts Legacy to win game of the year? Definitely not. But I feel like in the long run, the way that these open world games are crafted makes it a lot more appealing to the game of the game of the year, category because it's like if you could make an open world game that's filled with interesting

things to do which is a very difficult task by the way like if you ever play the latest assassin crees you understand that just because it's open world doesn't mean there's a lot of interesting things to do so for hoggworth's legacy elder ring a lot of these other open world games that fill it with to the brim with detail and makes you want to explore more I feel like that's just a testament to a best game of the year because that big of a game and to have that much interest in detail is just something that a lot of people strive for and not a lot of people hit that mark.

So for Hogwarts Legacy, they definitely did. And the sales are just a testament to that. As of course, like I just said, it had the most single-player streamers behind only Cyberpunk 277 and if you want to compare it to a bigger game it was also behind Eldon Ring if you want to talk about that in the

single player realm which I definitely won't I think that's definitely multi-player but you get the point Hoggworth's legacy is breaking records with its concurrent streamers and players so with that being said click my link to your in my bio

let me know one of my social media is what do you think about Hogwarts legacy and will you be given to the try or if you have, what is your favorite part about the game? Now to finish out, we're going to be getting into the long-awaited 2023 Grammy Awards, and we're going to recap all the winners and everything that entailed as far as the show.

The time has come to get into the 2023 Grammy winners and the complete list of winners. Because there's a lot of hoopla, and that's the exact word I want to use, to talk about this whole Grammy situation when it came to album of the year in the winter. Now, personally, I don't want to rush into it, but let's just say that Harry Styles does have a fan base. First, you know, you got to say that. And Beyonce also has the Beehive, right? Are we putting Harry Styles on Beehive level? Definitely not.

but basically what I'm trying to say is even the Beehive was kind of quiet with the Renaissance album and there was a reason for that is because the album was not bad by any stretch of the imagination I mean I imagine Beyonce making a bad album that can't happen but um

it was not as good as some of her previous projects so I don't think people was as outlandish with the backlash as they probably would have if Beyonce would have dropped a better or more comparable album to let's say like a lemonade.

Okay. So now that I got that out of way, out of the way, let's get into the biases that are clearly showcased and display time and time again by the Grammys. Now, complexion for the protection is a real saying in my life because throughout society, you start understanding more and more the, I don't even want to make this a race thing, but like it just has to be pointed out i think the last black woman to win grammy al-mody year was lorne hill hill in 1999 now we've had riana we've had riana we've had bianca we've had niki menage we've had so many iconic figures that came after loin hill

it's just insane for them to not have at least one win y'all realize how insane that is okay so maybe I'm tripping right then it came to it came a time to where Kendrick put out an album you already know I'm going with this Kendrick put out an album titled To Pimp a Butterfly

I think that's what it was and I don't even want to look it up because it's going to infuriate me even more but guess who this man lost to this is why I feel like he won so many awards this year but guess who Mac I already said it I guess what Kendrick Lamar

lost to back when he put out that phenomenal classic album you guessed it Complexion man Maclemore now am I saying that's all the Grammys represent no but is a majority

by far by far and away it's majority does Grammy throw out bones to diversity in different groups yes but for the most part the complexion for the protection is going to be one of my all-time

sayings for life. All right. But, you know what I mean? It's nothing to be like hatred over it. You know what I mean? I'm not going to be like, oh, I hate you. Harry Styles. I hate you, McLemore.

It's just something you point out and you keep going with life because, you know, you can't just live your whole life, you know, hating the other race. That's not going to happen. Well, that's not going to help anything. So anyways, yeah, so the Grammys have been always biased

towards, you know, for white people to win. and for people of color to not win as much, you know? And yeah, it was just highlighted because I was watching the show, man. I was watching the show. And the only reason I wanted to bring it to race is because Harry Styles got up there and literally said this doesn't happen to people like me very often. I repeat, Harry Styles got up on that stage after winning album of the year and said, this doesn't happen to people like me very often.

Now, I don't know what this man is alluded. to, but I mean, I mean, that's just that's just blatantly false. Like, I don't, I don't care what his upbringing is. I don't care where he came from. Like, people like him who look like him win a lot.

Especially make the music that he makes wins a lot in those type of award shows. So when he got up there and said that, I thought it was a little distasteful. And especially, um, coming off of the, who was the, Oscar so white I mean because I think he's an actor right so he probably knows he probably knows more

than anybody the type of behind the scenes stuff that happens to people of color and for him to say this doesn't happen to people like me very often it's just very very tone death man like literally very tone death um but yeah we're gonna get past him so as I said I don't hate Harry styles I recognize his fan base I understand why he could have won because when he dropped his album All his fans say that they loved it, I'm pretty sure. But for the most part, you know what I mean? He just got up there and just was lying. Like, you know what I mean?

Just professional liar. But Beyonce did become the most decorated Grammy's winner. So we do have that going for us. The one they do let win the awards. She has 32 at this point. And she has accumulated 88 nominations. And I mean, of course, she has, you know, Of course, she has yet to win Al-Mah Dio, because you know how that goes.

But she's the most accomplished artist when it comes to being a Grammy Award winner. So that's something to apply and take home and not to downgrade or diminish by any stretch of imagination. That's one of the most biggest accomplishments you can have as an artist. To have the most Grammys of all time, it's pretty, hey, that's a big deal. So anyways, last. music like bad bunny of course uh made history being the first ever spanish language artist to be nominated for um out of the year now honestly i think by far in a way bad bunny should have won that al muddy year award because i don't know people recognize the impact that bad bunny had because you know

he doesn't speak english well maybe he does i don't know um does he speak english in interviews i think he's i don't know if i was reading subtitles or if he was speaking english I'm not even trying to be funny, but I forget. But anyways, Bad Bunny has a humongous fan base, right? Like, if you look it up, because I don't feel like looking it up right now. Bad Bunny set the record for the most money made in a month by touring, like ever. Like, the most money. No, was it a tour?

No, I think a tour. I think that was Oat and John. But I think Bad Bunny made the most money in one month ever for a touring artist. I would fact check that. Should I probably fact check that? Hold up. That's a pretty bold claim. You know what I mean?

I'll probably like, man, ain't no way. Y'all, y'all just, y'all fake news, you know what I mean? So let me look it up. Hold on. Give me a second. Let me see. Bad Bunny, most money. And a month.

Let me see if that pops up. Yeah. Bad Bunny has the world's hottest tour with 91 million dollars made in one month. Man. Bad Bunny breaks record for high as, gross and torr. Okay, so he did. He did break the record. Okay, let me see. I think Elton John had the record. And currently, when I was looking at that stat, he did have the record. So Bad Bunny continues to break records. Okay. Uh, 435 million? Man, that's crazy.

All right, it surpasses Ed Shearin in 2018, who had 432 million. Okay. All right, so it's not own John it was Ed it was Ed Sherman let me see I think that's basically it and then of course the 91 million dollars and one bro they talk about these like these are just like thousands like 91 million 423 million over time like come on now that's that's ridiculous that's all I was like bro for him not to win album of the year like imagine if biance or any other type of artist had that type of run and the touring uh if they had that type of run while they was touring got to the grammies and they still didn't get best alamede year like i think great i think bad bunny should have been upset he didn't win like forget you know respectfully forget bionette

bad bunny should have won the al muddy here like like that man had a crazy year i don't understand man this man no i'm a chill because people are going to think on like uh uh Harry Stiles, but I really don't, you know what I mean? It's not like I just, you know, just like Harry Styles. You know, he just does a lot of things. It's kind of weird, you know what I mean? Like spitting on people in the movie theaters, you know, right before his movie premieres, you know, if you look that up, that's real, you know.

I'll be making stuff for him, man. I'll be tapped in. But yeah, Harry Stiles would be spitting on people, apparently. And, yeah. So anyways, what else? 65-monthly listeners. Okay, yeah, they still talking about Bad Bunny. Yeah, Bad Bunny went crazy in 20.

Like, 2022. was the year of Bad Bunny. If we're talking about just money made, like, bro, he was performing, outperforming everybody. Like, it was to the point, I'm like, man, has Drake fell off? Like, Drake is putting out multiple albums, and he can't mess with Bad Bunny when it comes to revenue. But of course, he wasn't touring, so that's a whole different, you know, Lane. Like, when Drake starts touring, then we can start comparing Bad Bunny's numbers to Drake. But even then, like, they said Bad Bunny broke the record of all time. So I'm like, hey,

that means Drake can't do that at all. So, yeah, I would have been upset, like, irate if I was bad bunny. Like, bro, what more do I have to do to win album of the year? I would have felt disrespected. All right. All right, let's keep going. Kendrick Lamar, of course, got the recognition he finally deserved after them ripping him off for McClermore. Man, I have to look it up.

Okay, because what album did McLemore beat him on? Because that was so atrocious and just outlandish. It was just so, like, I never, like, just say blatantly racist, but that was just so blatantly racist that I was just like, whoa. Like, you really just gave McElmore the album of the year over Kendrick. Like, that was just crazy. Let me see which album that was. Like, it was just so bad. Oh, that was good kid mad.

No, that was racist. Yeah, Grammys. 2014? Yeah, no, that was. I thought that was to pimp a butterfly. Good Kid Mad City is literally one of my favorite hip-hop albums of all time. Maybe of all time. Nah, because Kanye.

But this one is up there. It's probably top five. But yeah, that's just, well, that's just, man. Like, who was voting? Who was voting on that committee? I think back then, I heard that they used to do it in a way that if you couldn't vote or couldn't, if you didn't feel out a portion of your ballot, like they had certain voters, right, in the music industry.

If you didn't feel out a portion of your ballot, then your whole thing they wouldn't, you know, take. So, like, people who's in the hip-hop space are, like, just choosing random things for pop. And then that's probably, like, vice versa. You know, people in this pop space are just choosing one for hip-hop. But now, I think they specifically have people for each and every category. I think that's how I was explained because I remember that whole process being explained. Because that was a big deal when McLemore won over Kendrick. I think even, like, he got shamed so much that even to this day he talks about how,

He looks at that Grammy and he just knows it's Kendrix. Like, come on now. So anyways. Yeah, so they made up for it, man. It was like, hey, man, we'd be sorry for being racist back in 2014. How about we give you best rap album, which he won? How about we give you best? He won a lot of other things.

He won, like, best. We're going to get into a lesson in a second. Like, I'm going to literally go through the list. But what else? He wants something else. We're going to get to it. But I think he won, like, best rap performance. performance stuff like that anyways let's keep on actually oh okay that's what we can stop off so

yeah let's get into the list so for my YouTube and Twitch viewers you can watch along as I scroll through the list for my people listening after the fact on my podcast platforms just know that the video version is on YouTube and Twitch but if you just want to listen to the audio version then hey you're in the right place so anyways yeah let's get into it Okay, so 2023, complete winners list. Of course, we got to start with the general field. Record of the year. They gave that to Lizzo, okay, for about ex parte of time.

I like Lizzo. I actually like it. Lizzo as an artist. If you look up Lizzo and Siza, man, what was that song, Carl? Like, literally one of my favorite tracks of 2022. 22. I mean, 2023, my bad. Let me see.

Oh, yeah, special. It was called Special Lizzo featuring Siza. Go listen to that track. That track is Fire. Yeah, so I like Lizzo as an artist. I think she's real talented. I think she's really, really talented. Sonically and just overall artistry when it comes to imagery and all that stuff. Like, she has a really great team behind her,

and she's also a talented singer. So I'm not mad at her winning that. I think I've heard that track before. about expert of time because I think I listened to that album. I don't know if that was an album. I think I listened to that. I don't know. I mean, of course, if I would pick one, I would definitely went with,

um, for me, I'm more of a numbers guy. So a lot of these things would have been like, bro, who performed the best? Like, I look at performance as the most, um,

objective thing you can look at. Now, of course, people can say that's subjective as well, because if you have a major label, that's better than another major label. they can get you here here and here while this label can only get you you know i mean it's always politics but at the end of day i just look at who performs and for bad bunny i would have gave it to him

but anyways let's see cute let's keep going uh album of the year of course you already know we went over there i would have went to with a bad bunny but of course they went with uh white man uh harry styles so a song of the year so song of the year um what in the world bonnie frat i'm not even trying i'm not even trying i'm not even trying to be doing disrespectful. I don't know who that is. So I'm just going to leave it at that because I ain't heard the track. That's another thing. I've listened to Harry

Stiles album and all the other stuff so I can comment on that. But for this, Bonnie Rat, I'm just going to say prayers to you. But I don't know who you are. I don't know what this track is. I'm just going to leave it at that. But she won. So I think it was a she. Should I look that up? You know, assuming it's problematic.

I ain't a lot to you, but I'm pretty sure it was a she. Anyways, let's keep on. All right. best new artist uh samara joy okay i'm not mad at that uh i would have personally gave a tlado based off of uh looks alone and that's all i got man that's all i'm sorry uh pop category best pop solo performance they gave that to adele easy on me and fired well deserved probably the most deserving uh for a pop solo performance the way she sings it's different uh best pop duo slash group performance they gave that to

Sam Sam Smith and Kim Petrus. Oh, okay, that's probably why he performed. If you don't know, I mean, Grammys is a whole politics thing. If somebody's performing, you already know they're going to win the award unless they're not going to perform. Like, that's usually how it goes.

The only time they tricked the artist to perform and he didn't win anything was Little Baby because they told that man, hey, we're going to nominate you for this, this and this, and we're going to have you perform. So he's like, oh, I'm a win. He didn't win a single thing. So yeah, they get you sometimes. But for the most part, if an artist is performing at the Grammys, they're most likely going to win. So I'm pretty sure Sam Smith is the

one who did the devil performance. I think that's, I think that was him, right? With the horns and everything. Yeah. You know, I mean, just praising, you know, the devil. But, you know, I guess that's just normal nowadays. Best traditional pop vocal album. Best traditional pop vocal album. Michael Bubelle. Let me chill I don't know if that's like you said Bubble It has a It has a little like a

It has a little mark above the E So I think it's like I think it's like One of those fancy pronunciations Like Boubleed You know what I'm saying I don't know man It's Michael

He won I don't know what it is Best Pop vocal album Harry Styles You know I know I feel about him Let's keep going Dance slash electronic music

Okay Dance slash electronic recording um oh biancy won okay so bionc won that one break my soul break my soul was fire so i'm glad that one got an award best dance electronic music album biance won that as well okay okay

oh for renaissance okay so she did win best something for an album but uh it wasn't the big one but she won best dance electronic. I'm surprised Drake wasn't up there, but then I forgot he didn't submit his music. It was just another reason why this man Aubrey Graham is the goat. Imagine not submitting your music and you still win a Grammy. Because granted, he did win one with Future and Tim's with Wait for You and he didn't even submit his own music. Man, that man's the goat. That's all I got to say. All right, contemporary instrumental music, I don't care about that. Rock. Don't care about that.

So let's keep going. Alternative. I'm an alternatively change the genre. R&B. Ah, this is my bag. All right. Best R&B performance. It went to...

Well, who is this, man? Nah, man. I don't know who this is. Mooney Long? Bro, I listen to all the type of R&B. I'm not going to act like if I don't listen to it is trash because I don't like when people do that. But I don't know who Mooney Long is, bro.

It should have definitely went to, Oh, Jasmine Sullivan What, Beyonce? And you give it to Mooney Long? Bro, come on, man. I ain't even try to be disrespectful. I don't know who that is, bro. I don't know who that is.

Now, you tripping. That should have either went to Beyonce. Like, have y'all heard Virgo's groove? Like, listen to the first 30 seconds of Virgo's groove and then come back to this. Like, like, the way that Beyonce sings on Virgo's groove, hey, man, it's make you, hey, make you do some things man i ain't gonna lie i can understand j z now i after after that track i was

like j z understand now j z heard that track and he was like we got to make a family anyways uh best tradition yeah i really got listened to that track hang oh hey burgo's groove biancée knew what she was doing anyways uh best traditional r and borgance Okay, Beyonce won this one for Plastic Off the Sofa. You know what's funny? I don't even think I like this track off the album. You don't even think I like this track off the album. I mean, it was solid, but it wasn't like one of my standouts.

Anyways, Plastic Off the Sofa won that one for Best Traditional R&B Performance. So that deserved it, of course. Best R&B song went to Beyonce, of course. Like, come on now. Cuff it, definitely. See, that's a, that's a, just. deservedly so, which is why that stuff threw me off. Like, best R&B performance, like Mooney Long? Like, who is that? I don't know who that is, man. I got to let me know. Maybe I'm tripping.

I'm probably tripping. I mean, Beyonce is one of the rest of these, so I'm like, maybe I'm not tripping. All right, best progressive album. Steve Lacey, I've heard that name before, so I'm not going to speak on that. I don't know. I don't know too much about progressive R&B album. Like, what's that me? Best R&B album. Um, ah, okay, yeah. So my boy, Chris Brown showed once again why he's not at the heights of his career where I think he should be. Just coming out with the, like an out-of-bounds left field comment talking about how Robert Glasper, he doesn't even know who Robert Glasper is. And he was like, bro, who is this?

He literally said, like, who the expletive is this? And then he said, this is a joke. basically, you know. And Chris Brown shows time and time again why he's not at the height of his career. It's because of his character is always in question, man. He always doing outlandish things of this nature that makes you wonder who is the man behind the music. And for me, it's hard to say that because I think y'all know that I have Breezy as my favorite album of 2022. Like literally, like if you look up, I have two of them because it's like I have my episode. I have my episode and I have the list. But if you just want to listen to the album, just look up top albums

22 notorious mass effect and it should definitely pop up. But Breezy was at the top, of course, followed by Kendrick's album. But for the most part, I like versatility. And Chris Brown's Breezy had the most versatility that I've heard from an album from last year. So that's why I was my favorite album of 2022. And even I'm saying that this man, it's outlandish with some of the comments he made he makes because uh you just can't say stuff like this like no matter if you win or lose you got to take it graciously man you can't just like you can't just come out and just be like bro forget this dude who is this why are giving it to him like you obviously know everybody holds your breezy album in a high regard but to say

this it's just like so tone deaf and in your current situation and how how thin of ice you walk on every day because of what you did you know what i mean so you can't have outburst like this man like who is chris brown's PR team like i'm still trying to figure that out because once he put tory lanes on his album i was like bro your whole PR team needs to be fired and that is no exaggeration all right let's be going all right let's get into the rap category so best rap performance is the hard part five kensi glomar that's not surprising um a lot of great great performances on here. F and F F by Glorilla, which I know a lot of y'all probably

like Bo. No way a song called Foh-oh-Homo said. No, a song called Expetive. I don't even know I'd say it. I don't even know how to say it without cousin. That's why it's F and F. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, in parentheses, yo, in the

track, it has parentheses, let's go. Literally in parentheses, it has let's go. Like, nobody's calling it that. But, yo, at the Grammys, I imagine it was like, all right, and the winner is. And then it just said the full name. It was like, by Glorilla. And then she got out there, they just started playing that song at the Grammys.

They was like, bro, I bet the Grammys producers love this song. I bet they'd be singing it word for word. All right, anyways. All right, the Hartford 5 won, deservedly so. I would have gave it to God Did. I think God did is one of the best hip-hop songs we've had in a while. simply for the fact that you got Jay-Z and you got Jay-Z and Lil Wayne going crazy, like a 40-point performance on the verse,

and it was like one of the lifetime type of pairings where they're just going ballistic over the beat. I mean, imagine if Drake and Kendrick or Kendrick and Jay-Cole got on the track and just went crazy. Like literally this is what that version of it was. Like Little Wayne and Jay-Z going ballistic on a track called God. did. Like, I mean, it just don't get more perfect than that. So I thought God did what, that's probably one of my biggest, um, um, predictions that was wrong was that God did would sweep up because, you know, it didn't. But anyways, uh, let's keep on. So yeah, but Kendrick Lamar definitely deserved that. Let's not get twisted. Kendrick, for me, is the second greatest rapper of all

time, like, dead or a lot. So, you know, when it comes to rap, Kendrick just, it's just, it's just, bro, it's second nature to this man. So anyways, let's keep on. Best melodic rap performance. And then I went to future. See, this is why I'm like, bro, the Grammys are getting it exactly right.

The first rap award goes to Kendrick. Second one goes to Future. Like if you looked at the whole year as far as rap, it was technically Future who had the most longevity as far as being on the charts and stuff. But

um Kendrick definitely had the impact i would say lyrically wise and just definitely content um because of course streaming wise it's going to go more to the mumbo uh jumbo type rappers like uh like gunna um what else future um young boy i mean you know i mean stuff like that so um i mean i would say drake but you know he even really put out an album album he put out a house project and then he put out a mixtape with 21 savage like i don't even call those i mean that that one was fire by the way don't get me wrong like her loss was straight heat but still

like it's not no i mean it's not no classic but um actually her loss might be a classic i'm tripping you know drake and twin was savage they definitely have chemistry but as far as a drake solo album classic i don't think so but as far as a classic project like for what it was to do i will i will say so like definitely i don't know it may be uh a hot take but i think it's way better than uh what a time to be alive so anyways so yeah best melodic rap performance went to future wait for you definitely deservedly so like that that track was by by leaps and bounds better than any of other tracks so anyways all right best rap song best rap song we have um let me see

hold on give me one second I'm trying to look at this list they got so many different like qualifications on here that's it's kind of crazy they got so many different qualifications

I don't know which one oh okay I see it I'm tripping all right so they have oh okay that's what I was like bro where is it at

the heart part five one again okay so that makes sense I mean the way at the heart part five came out. Not every rapper can do that. And Kendrick was literally rapping from Nipsey Hustle's perspective at the end of the track. So I think if there's one person that could pull that off and not feel corny is definitely Kendrick. Because, you know, there's other people who try to do that. And it doesn't come across as authentic. And notable examples I can provide is

Joyna Lucas Logic. A lot of people just call them corny. And Kendrick, he gets it off. and everybody calls it brilliant. So, yeah, you know what I mean? Obviously, I'm not saying they're on the same level as Kendrick because, you know, they're not at all, like, not even close. Like, not even close to close. Like, you know what I mean? So, but yeah, that's like I said.

Kendrick pulls that off effortlessly where other artists, they show you why Kendrick is so good, like, because that's not easy to pull off. It's basically what I'm saying. like so uh best rap album okay this is the big one and guess what went to kendrick lamar mr morale and the big stepers so kendrick basically cleaned up uh the grammies he basically well not the grammies but he basically cleaned up the rap category um best rap performance best rap song best rap album and they gave them melodic to future so i think when it comes to rap

they got it right man Kendrick for me Kendrick is leaps and bounds ahead of all these other rap artists when it comes to lyrical content now when it comes to songmaking ability and just artistry and being versatile as a hip-hop artist I definitely give that to Drake

so yeah that's why I call him to go anyways country skipping that I don't care about no country ambient don't care about that jazz could care less let's talk about the Utah Jazz and how racist they are

gospel nah nah let's see what Kanye was in the gospel category now just play let me chill let me chill y'all don't like Kanye was in the gospel category

huh no right not that's tough Latin let me see it's bad bunny bro if I was bad bunny

imagine not cleaning up the Latin category I don't see his name on here his name's not even nominated I wonder if he didn't nominate his music. Now, I think he would have to because he was nominated for album of the year. And I don't think you can just be like, oh, I'm only going to be nominated for this.

I don't think that's how it works. But I don't see his name on any of these Latin categories. I mean, Bad Bunny's Latin, right? I'm not trying to be disrespectful. American roots, nobody cares about that. Reggae, don't care. Global music, what is they? mean children's um children's music album what spoken word don't care comedy oh that's cool oh dave

shappelle won another grammy for his comedy okay i even know they gave comedy awards at the grimmies it seems like that would be like an oscar or but you know to each his own musical theater don't care music for visual media oh that's a good one all right so the best compilation soundtrack for visual media went to Encanto. And if you ever seen Enconto by Disney, that movie is a classic. Like, you watch Encanto and some of the other Disney movies, like, as far as Princess movies, and I think it fits right along as one of the classics. Like, Encanto is one of the best Disney movies ever.

Like, for what it represented and how it nailed the culture. You know, sometimes, you know, you have to. culture and it's just like bro y'all really just ripping off stuff that y'all even know about like y'all just have writers who's not even from there writing about it like it felt like in canto was one of those type of movies where just everything embody that type of culture and of the story that was the story and the visuals and to top it off the soundtrack which is top notch that's that's definitely one of the best uh disney movies ever made like ever and that's saying something i mean y'all probably know what disney Yes, I'm, that's saying something.

65. Best score soundtrack for visual media. Encanto again. Best soundtrack. Assassin Cree, Valha. What in the world? Video games or other interactive media. Best score soundtrack.

The Grammy's soundtrack award went to Assassin's Creed. I can't even hate, man. Because I haven't heard it. I've heard it. And some of these other nominations are trash. Like, Call of Duty. Like, come on now. Old World?

Like, what's that? Aliens? Like, come on, bro. I would have had Ragnarok up here. I would have had Eldon Ring up here. What else? Who's some other ones? They have Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.

Okay, I'm not mad at that. I would have some other ones up here. They tripping with that. That was a, there's a bad list in general. Like, they need to get some. gamers to to suggest some uh nominations or just take it from the game awards like the game awards have that has that category like specifically that category i just take it from the game awards like i don't know uh best song written for visual media that went to oh encanto again

so canto basically cleaned up except for the video game you know because that's different and the television because you know that's different oh no no they won that one yeah so encanto yeah it cleaned up they cleaned up music for visual media it cleaned up which deservedly so because that's that's one of the

that's one of my favorite movies of all time so far actually my favorite movie and the best movie for me is different my favorite movie is probably Zootopia I really enjoy Zootopia as far as as like recently and um the best one i feel like is incanto i feel like what encanto represents

and the way they nailed it i already said it so yeah yeah i get it uh composing don't care packaging don't care songwriting uh where's quentin miller i was plenty of chill i production let me see it's basically it man classical then we get into the end hopefully goodness how many awards music and video film oh best music video okay what is this best music video went to Taylor Swift all too well the the short film okay that makes sense I mean it was a short film so I mean it's hard to beat that I'm not mad that best music film did they just do it best music video Best Music Film.

What is the difference? That went to Jazz Fest, a New Orleans story. All right, I guess. I was Justin B-Bron here, our world. Like what? Alrighty, and that was it.

Apparently, HBCU marching band was at the Grammys. That's cool. There's just so many different ways to make history in life, man. That's why you should just work towards your goals and work towards what you're passionate about. Because you've ever looked at life in general.

There's so many intertwining pieces and so many people doing well for themselves that you just got focused on what you focus on and control what you can control. You know what I mean? And it will all play out. I don't know where that came from, but we just finished the Grammy's list. I just felt like giving some motivation, you know, so maybe one day you can win a Grammy. You know what I mean? Maybe one day you can be on this list and I'm reading you out.

You know what I mean? Like, man. And the best album goes to, that guy who listened to notorious Mass Effect 2023 Grammy nominations wrap up That's crazy But anyways

So for the most part That's the list I'm not gonna go over it again Because you probably already know Ancanto Sweep I mean swept The visual media

Kendrick swept the rap awards What else Wasn't too many sweeps But that's the biggest thing Beyonce won One award I think talked about how the Grammys are racist

yeah I got past that that was definitely a pocket point um basically it man what else yeah that's basically yeah so click my link to my bio let me know one of my social media is

what do you think about the full list of winners for the 2023 Grammy Awards and who do you think was the biggest snub and getting into the overview of the pod we got into the Super Bowl 2023 halftime show, but we talked about how

Rihanna definitely is still sonically impressive, but as far as the actual performance, we would have preferred a more on brand performance of Rihanna, but, you know, we do understand that she's pregnant, and hopefully we wish her the best

with her family with A set Rocky. And then getting, and then switching gears, we got into High Five Rush, talk about, talked about how this is a $30 game, creating more revenue in sales than a $70 game and forspoken, and how that's just atrocious and how Microsoft is slowly but surely winning the console race when it comes to the Xbox Series X and the PS5. Then we got into Hogwarts Legacy, talked about all the hoopla surrounding Hardworks Legacy and just the backlash engine. I gave my own thoughts and opinions

while also covering the sales and overview of the game and the review roundup. So we got into a lot when getting into the Hogwarts legacy. And then we finished with the 2023 Grammy Award recap where I talked about all, but not all, but all the ones we care about as far as the winners and just the overview perspective of the Grammys from my personal opinion, of course.
