Starting point is 00:00:34 What's going on, internet? Analyticier, aka Dreams, and I'd like to welcome you to mine, which I call the notorious Mass Effect podcast. I'm a hip-hop and gaming news source with a little bit of R&B mixed in, and of course, for this episode, we're going to be getting into the queen of the music industry, which is Beyonce Knows Carter. in her album that was just released on all DSPs titled Cowboy Carter. Now, of course, for this specific episode, 136, it's going to be titled Beyonce's
Starting point is 00:01:13 Country Revolution, A New Era, because that is exactly what's happening with this country takeover by Beyonce. But of course, just a little update before we getting into the episode, I think the Kendrick Lamar future Metro booming like that track is very impactful in a way that's I'm not going to say never been seen before but it's definitely a pivotal moment in hip hop history as that track alone is one of the most successful hip hop tracks ever made so based off that alone and tying it back into the overall topic of the episode it basically blocked every single Beyonce track from being. and number one, simply for the fact that everybody's still playing like that on all DSPs. So that is why I bring it up as I won't be getting into like a humongous deep dive into that specific track. But what I will acknowledge is that track is very pivotal in today's society.
Starting point is 00:02:20 As I don't know what it is about just tracks that promote certain beef in hip hop, but boy, do they increase sales so whenever you see the charts again you're most likely most likely most likely going to see the metro booming future and kindrick track like that still be at number one so with that out the way of course that's in the hip-hop space you know in the overall music landscape i think lose control by teddy swims is still technically number one as far as overall sales are confirmed i was just talking about specifically hip-hop and rmb so more of a more of a more update on just a podcast in general, that specific track from the Kendrick outing was very successful on my podcast, of course, as, you know, I think in the first 24 hours, we was around 20 to 30,000
Starting point is 00:03:11 downloads, and that was like the first 24 hours. And if you all know, I always talk about my, you know, downloads in a way to be transparent for the people who support. And basically, I do around 70 to 80,000 weekly downloads. With that doing like 20,000, or around 20,000. downloads in the first 24 hours you can best believe that that had a tremendous effect on the outlook of my weekly and monthly uh downloads as far as statistically and not even that but my biontay cowboy carter review so if you look it up bionc cowboy carter analytic dreams because there's a lot of other tracks i review but as far as the album overview that also did around 12,000 downloads in the first 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:03:55 And now both of those combined makes March a very successful month in the history of the podcast. So let's just say that y'all did your thing, came out in droves to support and definitely supported in a way that I saw and just was flabbergasted for lack of a better term. you know i just saw the numbers i was like goodness i was like that is crazy because if you don't know i think my all-time best performing segment is baby keem kendrick hillbillies you can look that up baby keem kendrick hillbillies analytic dreams so when people came back to listen to my review of kendricks you know just direct shot at the top well not top two but one uh the perceived top two rappers in the industry it was uh definitely also coveted by the masses so i appreciate that help you know
Starting point is 00:04:49 as far as the listenership boost and always transparent and the people who support me or to the people who support me. So yeah, I just want to let y'all know that. But also another thing, I know it's, you know, basically a month or two away. But of course, for the people out there and collegiate institutions out there just being weighed down by debt in the hopes of getting some type of stable income in the future, I just want to let y'all know that all. Also, I'm going through that transition, as you know, going from the collegiate space to the real world space. Because if you don't know, it's like a little bubble, whatever you get into college, and then you get out and you realize that you have to find another vehicle to help you transition into a nice living, if that makes sense. So as far as that vehicle, you know, trying to realize that this transition from graduating college to the real life experience is one of those.
Starting point is 00:05:49 where you need that vehicle in the middle to make that transition as smooth as possible. And that vehicle could be an internship, a full-time job, a part-time job. It's one of those to where whatever works best for you based off what you went for as far as your degree. But I wanted to speak on that simply to give my insight on how at the end of the day, it's a very important transition that should be high priority as far as. as what you should take care of before you graduate. And so I just want to give a lot of advice, I guess, and a certain insight into what I'm currently going through.
Starting point is 00:06:35 And it's not like nothing like crazy. Like I'm just down bad or whatever. It's just one of those to where I was like, you know, the transition is a real important thing from going from college world to the real life world. So I just wanted to speak on that and just give my knowledge, I guess, to people who's out there going through a similar situation. Just know that as long as you have that as a high priority as far as figuring out the vehicle that's going to take you
Starting point is 00:06:59 into a smooth transition from college into the real world, then you will be okay. But where a lot of people mess up is trying to focus on other things that have nothing to do with that specific vehicle that's going to make you sustainable in life. So, yeah, at the end of the day, you know, that's why I wanted to get across, you know i was talking to a lot of people about the transition one of them being my dad of course
Starting point is 00:07:24 and when i said that when i phrased in that way you know he said it was very profound you know what i mean and he's way smarter than me so i was like i got to repeat down the podcast you know hopefully it will impact and help out somebody out there you know going through a similar situation so anyways it's not one of those uh TED talks just wanting to give you a little life advice you know mean you can either take it or leave it you know what i'm saying so anyways getting back into the episode of course we have a lot of other things we're going to get into one of them being big sean's tiny desk performance actually that's the opening topic um diddy hey we got to get into diddy no diddy you know what i'm saying and also going to get into a lot of different gaming topics
Starting point is 00:08:09 and this is going to be less business side and more gaming side as far as what i talk about because sometimes I talk about the gaming space as far as the companies and layoffs and things of that nature and what they're doing as far as their game plan going into the future this is going to be specifically focusing on individual games like dragon dogma rise of ronan the marvel rivals game that was just announced like stuff like that and it also going to end with a little beef you know what I mean getting into play break cardi and his false sense of impact on the charts and Lizzo and her you know making herself a victim and then of course we're going to get into snoop dog and master p versus walmart which is a
Starting point is 00:08:50 very uh interesting topic if i might add because that is something that i don't think a lot of people realize how big it is so anyways that's basically the overview obviously it's going to be other stuff thrown in throughout the episode but before we get into that of course make sure to click my link tree in my bio to access my social medias and follow to keep out my latest activities and if you want to support the show financially, click my cash-ab link located towards the top, well, the bottom of my link tree as it helps the show overall.

I keep seeing the reviews go up on different platforms. So I definitely appreciate when y'all rate this to let them know that there's people out there that actually appreciate the overall gaming and music industry takes. You know, I'm not going to throw any aspers on other waves of promotion.
Starting point is 00:09:56 But for this specifically, I think you get a lot of knowledge as far as this podcast on each respective industry.

Like if this is just trash to you, just ultimate garbage, then put that one star. You know what
Starting point is 00:10:32 saying but anyway anyways um what else yeah because basically rating this show five stars well rating this show in general helps the show reach more people so we can grow together and affect the masses so without further ado let's get into the first topic of episode 136 which is definitely one of my favorite rappers of all time which is big sean and more specifically we're going to get into his tiny desk performance Now, everybody should know at this point that Big Sean is my favorite rapper. Well, used to be my favorite rapper. And that's the story I love to go into because let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:11:21 It's like the Avatar meme. When he needed him most, he vanished. As in high school, you know, such pivotal years. You know what I'm saying? Just trying to find yourself things of that nature, listening to different types of music. And Big Sean currently was my favorite rapper. and then during the sophomore to senior years of high school he just vanished don't know where he went obviously somebody may have said he was abducted somebody would have put out a APB i think that's what you call
Starting point is 00:11:54 it anyways basically this man was missing i know big shan fans out there are going to say he's been active since what he's basically been active since 2011 but that break between 2013 no that that break between 2015 and 2020 I don't want to hear about double or nothing
Starting point is 00:12:16 I don't want to hear about I decided because basically when I decided came out I decided that I found a new favorite rapper and that rapper goes by the name
Starting point is 00:12:26 of Aubrey Graham so with that being out the way of course I want to get into Big Sean give him all his flowers because I still think that he's one of the more
Starting point is 00:12:36 pivotal rappers as far as putting words together along with replayability but that last part as as far as replayability has been a question mark for big sean because of his outings being constantly stepped on because if you don't know he put out a freestyle actually let me just have the one and only rory and mall from their podcast basically quantify how this man's whole rollout has been constantly stepped on and shout out to rory and all you know what i mean i don't care how joe button did y'all you know what i'm saying i still rock with y'all you know what i'm saying so anyways let's hear what they had to say about the whole big shan fiasco oh and also analytic dreams video on spotify for the video along with the audio but anyways
Starting point is 00:13:23 let's get into their take on everybody stepping on big shan the jokes that big shan can't have a day to himself have been like i've been in tears i feel so bad we ain't even got shan's name on the docket Put out a great single Put out a great freestyle Got his tiny desk lit right now Tiny desk is hot You knick's in 14 songs Shut the fuck up Julian
Starting point is 00:13:44 You don't even got big songs You don't even got big Sean's name You don't even have Big Sean's name On the doctor He said, he said, I don't want to compete With your so-called big thing I don't have the end The kids is bad
Starting point is 00:13:55 And I took that person Oh It's like God damn I just I just dropped the tiny desk You need to get new crystals Whatever crystals and shit he got in this crib Swap him out. This is like when you're trying to break up a fight and a nigga punch him in your face.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Yeah. Like, nah. It's like, yo, I'm trying to. I'm trying to call for peace. And then you also get arrested. Yeah. And you get pepper sprayed. It's like, though, I was trying to break it up.
Starting point is 00:14:21 I was trying to break this shit up. Yeah. Yeah. So basically, that's basically every time Big Sean tries to have some type of rise as far as a, uh, uh, a chart. impacting standpoint because of course he did put out this tiny desk but also even before that like even before his whole performance on tiny desk which i still believe is perfect but before i get into my review of that of course let's just uh stick to the point that big sean and his sales had been
Starting point is 00:14:52 stepped on obviously last time he even put out an album it sold a hundred and eleven thousand first week now of course during the pandemic one could say that that that's a huge accomplishment because people were not outside to be able to promote or he wasn't able to go outside to promote his music like that so 111,000 first week i think it's a pretty a big is a pretty big accomplishment even for the status of big sean with this Detroit two album but then when you bring into the rest when you bring in the rest of the premier acts it doesn't look that big as far as retrospect i mean Drake's out here here just sneezing on a record and he sells five to six hundred thousand first week right so we can't
Starting point is 00:15:39 compare him anymore j cole out here is selling two to three hundred every single time he drops so now we can't compare him to big shan anymore and kendrick everybody knows that that man is out here you know his lyrics are being treated like when the the red letters in the bible that's how Kendrick's lyrics are being treated every single time he comes out, which obviously at this point means that Big Sean is all by himself in a whole other category that he has to be placed in simply based off of sales. So now that nobody looks at him in the light anymore, I mean, he literally just dropped the track title precision back in March 22nd, 2024. Y'all want me to let y'all know where that track landed on the charts? The top 50, the top 100,
Starting point is 00:16:31 I even want to look at the top 200 because if it wasn't on that my heart would have broke. But basically if you haven't been able to catch my drift at this point, it didn't chart at all. I don't know where it's at. Maybe it's chart at the first day or two,
Starting point is 00:16:47 but now it's just completely left to charts. It's like it never even happened. Precision is one of those tracks where I thought at least, at the very least, was going to be some type of ESPN soundtrack to every single time Luca hits a step back while LeBron flirts with the owner of the organization or any time that, you know, Anthony Edwards tries to text somebody
Starting point is 00:17:07 and say, send a video, you know what I'm saying? But in light of precision, not even being able to be the theme for every single sports highlight clip, now it's just completely off the chart. So now it has nothing to push the promotion. So where am I left to look at as far as a big Sean fan? Now, just like Kendrick did with Drake, we have to switch the entire conversation. We can't talk about sales no more because obviously big sean has this cold fan base i mean i'm literally one of big shans um i'm not going to say biggest fans but i am a big advocate of big sean and i say all the time that if there was a lyrical spar between kendrick and somebody else i think kendricks best opponent would be big shan not jermaine because of course i think he's the most overrated rapper ever
Starting point is 00:17:51 not drake because obviously with drake is a specific style of lyrics that drake is going to use to go at Kendrick. It's not going to be about double, triple entendre's with Drake. It's going to be about gossip. What can I expose about you? And so that's a different level of a litmus scale. But as far as just going back and forth, double triple entendres playing off a different points of his life, Big Sean, I think, is the biggest opponent for Kendrick. So that's where I'm at with it. Quality is at a high level with Big Sean every single time he comes out. So with his tiny desk performance, which is, you know, based off of NPR, showcasing his 15-year rap career, which, yes, he's been in the game that long, kind of crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:37 But, you know, here we are. His mixtape days were also highlighted in his set list and also some of the mainstream success he had on the Yeas' good music label. And basically the set list, for those who want to see it, once again, Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio, but basically here's the set list so this is the entire set list uh hopefully i think y'all can see the whole thing yeah uh make sure yeah so this is the whole set list and performance wise it was perfect i would have preferred more uh chart topping tracks just to
Starting point is 00:19:21 showcase like i have hits but still just because of the you know the tracks on here like memories um Marvin and Shardney what else um on up I still don't know what that is and that may take my big Sean fan card but I don't know what on up is a lot of these tracks seems to be more of a performant more performative type track which is why he had it on the set list but I would prefer more than the standout hits like blessings about bounce back and I don't message you basically it's on the set list but I would have performed more more of those tracks because he has a lot more he could have dug into as far as his top charting bag but if you don't believe me i also have another um this is basically all of big shans hits ever right
Starting point is 00:20:12 and his top tracks top five tracks is uh as long as you love me bounce back mercy dance and i don't message you as far as you know that top five you can obviously see that some of those are not even on here. Like, as long as you love me is literally the most, the best performing, you know, track ever for Big Sean. And he didn't perform it. And one could say, oh, that was a Justin Bieber track. But then he performed, um, all me, which all me is off of a Drake album, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:20:49 So I believe, like, just because it's not your own track, you shouldn't be able to perform it, which is why I think it should have been on there. Mercy. I mean, I guess it kind of makes sense. it's not on there. Dance definitely makes sense why it's not on there. I mean, it's one of his best performing tracks, but also, I think in retrospect, I think it's one of those detrimental tracks because people are just going to attribute you to saying
Starting point is 00:21:13 the, you know what word over and over over to get a hit. So I think that does more harm than good. So, I mean, as far as the rest of his top performing tracks, you can see right here. And the whole list is out there. on the internet if you want to see it but this is just a concise list of his just chart topping hits i mean it's 52 total entries uh top he has three top 10 hits nine top 20 his 17 top 40 hits i mean some of those could have ended up on this set list um if not all of them so it's uh interesting he went into his mixtape bag because it's basically what he was doing he was just trying to
Starting point is 00:21:53 reflect on his journey and it uh also showcasing him just talking about a lot of the overall challenges that he had to overcome. Basically his second album being the pivotal turning point and everybody thinking he fell off and he came back with Dark Skies Paradise, of course. So of course, oh, okay, so on up is a new song he teased on. So as far as upcoming album, okay, that's interesting. And it's dedicated to his son.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Man, talk about Bear Heartless. I was just talking about that track. why is it on here? But that makes sense. So anyways, um, obviously the tiny desk performance, let me see, bring that back up. The tiny desk performance, as you can see, was very, uh, well, you know, the set is always immaculent on tiny desk performances. I just like the whole concept of it. It's almost like verses. Like, I like the unique aspect of, uh, taking rap, iconic musicians and showcasing the discography, you know, and I wish verses would come back, but I guess, since the pandemic is over.
Starting point is 00:23:00 I guess, you know, people are not willing to go on that show anymore or whatever. But anyways, because when's the last time y'all've seen the verses, you know? And I'm like, I don't think they stopped. But anyways, the tiny desk performance obviously was a significant marketing tactic implemented by Big Sean. But if you're not able to perform certain tracks that is performative, because some tracks, if you don't know, the way the artist make tracks is some make tracks, purely off of what they're trying to get across in lyrics.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Some of them make tracks simply off of the performance aspect. Performance aspect, I'll give you artists like Travis Scott, Kanye West, a Uzi, things of that nature, like people who put out tracks that perform well when they're in a large crowd. As far as the lyrical aspect and just wanting to get across a message, I would say people like J.I.D. Corday. Who else? maybe Denzel Curry, I would say.
Starting point is 00:24:01 So as far as the performance aspect and lyrically, you have to find that middle ground. So I think that's why Big Sean had a perfect tiny desk performance because he had hard-hitting tracks like Blessings, Bounce Back, memories, one of my favorite tracks in One Man Can Change the World. I think that's like one of my top favorite hip-hop tracks ever. Because one man can change the world as such a positive message also made into a replayable track for the masses that's just such a perfect
Starting point is 00:24:34 track in my opinion anyways um like i said i enjoyed his performance the only critique i would say is i wish he would have just showed people that he really do put up numbers like that and just played most of his or perform most of his big hits but i guess tiny desk is and for that it's more of a lasting impression because i think you only do it once so i think it's one of those where you try to leave a lasting memory on tiny desk. And that's technically what Big Sean did and walking people throughout his journey as an up-and-coming rapper. I mean, it literally had tracks from his mixtape days.
Starting point is 00:25:06 So anyways, I think that was basically all I wanted to get into. At the end of the day, Big Sean very much underappreciated when it comes to sales-wise. But as far as quality, I think everybody acknowledges that Big Sean is one of the best rappers that we've ever had in the past two decades. Like if I always say, Kendrick Lamar is who I call the best modern day rapper ever. I would have Big Sean right under him. So that should tell you the level of lyricism that I think Big Sean possessness. And I wish he would go at Kendrick.
Starting point is 00:25:42 It kind of like engaged in combat. But every single time, I mean, every single time somebody asked Big Sean about Kendrick. he always says like nah he's cool like he made that track and then he told me it's just rap so you know he ain't really nothing like that like he will say something like oh i talked to his manager or whatever and you know they cleared it up so it was never really like that it's not beef so i love how now kendrick's being more um open with how he's dissing because used to he used to say it in a way to where it could be seen as, oh, that disc could be attributed towards anybody. But I wish you would just go at Big Sean directly, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:26 but I guess people say he did that when he literally went on his own album and put out that control verse. So, which is another reason to why I think Big Sean is one of those rappers, because you will only leave that verse on there if you think you can want up it, which I think he did, but he didn't have the shock value of just calling out everybody in the industry like Kendrick did on control verse. So control and holy key is one of the two of the best top performing rappers going back and forth lyrically that I've ever heard in life.
Starting point is 00:27:00 So with Jay Cole and Drake doing first person shooters, that's why everybody was so upset at Drake because he didn't really take it as a lyrical spar. He took it as more of a braggadocious, um, swag rap type of track. And that's not what people want. People want that lemon pepper freestyle, go back and forth and give hard-hitting bars instead of just Maybeleen, Chardine. I pack them in phone like some sardines, like, you know what I mean? So, which you know me, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:27:31 It's a fire track. But as far as the lyric is out, not lyricists, but as far as the hip-hop heads out there that one of the lyrical spar, I understand why, you know, the upset about that. But, you know, of course, Drake did put out the lyrical heavy extension. of for all the dogs. I forget what he called it. I really didn't care for that because he used a lot of like, how do I phrase this. Basically, the conjunction in your verse
Starting point is 00:28:00 should not be the same every single time because that pinpoint's lack of effort to me. So if you say something and you say, oh, it's some, some, some like, or it's some, some, some like that connection, that conjunction is not supposed to be, the same every single time. You try to like, I mean, you're a word smith. You're supposed to, you know, like, crack open at the source, you know what I'm saying? So that's why I ain't really
Starting point is 00:28:24 like the lyrical addition to for all the dogs. But anyways, Big Sean still number two to me, as far as the best rapper. And I think the reason he doesn't get his flowers is probably because he's not as consistent, but even that is becoming harder to say. Because if you really look at his discography, there's nothing wrong with taking. two to three years to put out another album. So at this point, I'm just conflicted. I don't know what to say. I don't even, the stars are not aligning
Starting point is 00:28:56 when it comes to Big Sean getting his flowers as far as the sales perspective. So we'll just see what happens in the future because I'm all out of, I don't even know how he should go about getting people to respect him. Like at this point, you just got to engage in combat with Kendrick. And so, like, just do what push the tea did
Starting point is 00:29:14 when Drake was trying to go. go at Kanye, like, just insert yourself, and now the beef is all about you too. You know what I mean? That's the only advice I could give. But besides that, may, hopefully this upcoming album is fire because let me tell you, I think Beyonce already outdid a lot of hip-hop people in that genre, and she put out a country album show. So that should tell you all you need to know. So anyways, click my link to your bio.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Let me know on one of my social medias. What do you think about Big Sean performing a soulful, perfect, extraordinary concert at Tiny Desk for NPR showcasing his 15 years in a rap game. And also, what is your favorite track from Big Sean all time when it comes to his discography? Beyonce has taken over the country music genre. So, Beyonce just put out an album titled Cowboy Carter. Now, of course, this is my review, but not only is a review, I call myself analytic dreams and best believe me, we are going to be getting into these dreamlike numbers because this was probably one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. It reminded me of The Weekend's Starboy, the way he completely changed his artist's direct.
Starting point is 00:30:52 direction in a way they ended up being a staple in the artist's discography. Because of course, everybody remembers Starboy for the unique sound that he was starting to transform into that he finally perfected in Starboy. Obviously with this country inspired album, Cowboy Carter, this is technically the first time that she fully went country. quote unquote as far as like mixing elements of country elements of rnb and hip hop into a complete album and let me tell you it's probably one of the better albums you're ever going to listen to in life as far as sonically it's amazing as far as the cohesion and makes sense from listening to track one to the last track because you know some people like to skip around but to me
Starting point is 00:31:52 The best albums are the ones that tells the story from track one to the last track. I don't like albums. I'm not going to say I don't like, but I can't put albums on the same level of an album that actually has a story. So a playlist type album that may have hits but comes across like a playlist is not going to be higher on the list to me than an album that tells a story from track one to the last track. And it's a streamlined story. It's not jumping around as far as like the whole overarching picture. They're trying to get you to see. Now, it may seem dramatic in the way that I'm covering this album.
Starting point is 00:32:42 But there's a reason why what three months in and even Spotify themselves had to come out and talk about this album saying that Beyonce's Cowboy Carter, became Spotify's most streamed album in a single day of 2024. And this is also the first time a country album has held this title as far as this specific year. Now you're probably thinking to yourself, well, obviously, we're only three months, technically four months in like a couple of days in of 2024. So that could change, right? Well, what's not going to change is Cowboy Carter becoming the first, album to surpass 500,000 total units in the U.S. by the end of his first week sales of release. So even with that, right, Beyonce, with Cowboy Carter, has all tracks charting in the top 100.
Starting point is 00:33:48 All 27 tracks are charting in the top 100 for Cowboy Carter. If we're talking about the most successful track, of course, is still, the Texas Hold'em track, which Beyonce obviously put out as a single along with 16 carriages. And then the next best performing track from Beyonce is that number... I'm trying to find it. It's pretty easy to tell, but sometimes I had to go a little bit down. Hold on a second. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Well, that is not exactly what I was going for. so let me see I don't think I have the updated numbers what in the world don't you love when you just look up numbers specifically and then it's not exactly what you was looking for I hold up well forget all that let's get into the actual predictions I'm trying to see if we can find it oh okay so I guess they haven't counted it yet so we actually don't know how many or like I don't have the specific numbers yet but I'm pretty sure all of her tracks from the album is in the top 100 because of course you know I don't spread fake news around here so if I can't find it then of course
Starting point is 00:35:24 we just not going to talk about it yeah we don't have the specific individual tracks but what we do know is it's definitely going to surpass 500,000 total units in the US by the end of its first week that's probably why I don't have the actual individual numbers yet since the album technically just came out but you know the sources that I I use and cross-reference like they give me a good um picturing picture in the world they give me a good picture on how the sales are going to look so currently with the album just coming out I only have the overall numbers I don't really have specifics yet but 500,000 total units in the US by the end of his first week and the reason why I keep competing uh keep repeating that is because the last
Starting point is 00:36:12 time Beyonce had over 500,000 was back in 2016. Do y'all know what came out back in 2016? Of course you do. If you're part of the Beehive. The controversial, the anti-JZ album Lemonade came out and it basically sold 653 copies first week. So of course, that was the last time Beyonce made a significant splash as far as her discography is considered because if you really look at the totality of things really the seven projects we have to look at as far as first week sales because that's how many Beyonce is put out from the beginning of her artistry to now as far as way back in with when did she start 2001 2002 but basically her album in 2003 didn't sell over 500,000 but B-Day did with 541,000 first week that came out 2006.
Starting point is 00:37:12 That album was the standout as far as sales is considered. So statistically speaking, that was a standout in the breakout album for Beyonce back in 2006. So then you have to skip a couple albums because it was nowhere near the B-Day album, which sold around 541,000, mind you. And so she comes back. again blowing that number out of the water in 2013 biancy album where it had 617 first week sales and obviously became her most successful album so now she broke her what seemed like her limit with the biontie album back in 2013 and the reason why these first week sales are so important
Starting point is 00:37:56 is because bianca is an artist that people are going to listen to after the fact the first week sales are an indication of the amount of anticipation and hype that you've built with your audience that are willing to listen to your album as soon as it comes out. Because that's a pretty good indication on what the projection is going to be going down the road. Because if your first week's sales are at a certain number, well, there's no way to go but down. So the first week's sales are a good indication of how well the album's probably going to perform when it comes to the grand scheme of things and especially it's great it's a great litmus
Starting point is 00:38:38 scale as far as comparing her to her peers so back in 2013 is when biance really put up those numbers as far as breaking her uh ceiling that was around 300 to 400 000 which is still phenomenal we're comparing biance to herself that's what we're doing right now not to any other artists because, you know, that would be unfair, unless we're talking about Drake. See, I had to throw it in there. My fault. My fault. So anyway, let's get back into it.
Starting point is 00:39:06 So, Beyonce set her new career record as far as first week sales with $617,000. And then 2016, which, you know, I've already talked about, the anti-JZ album. It isn't beef a wonderful thing when it comes to streams? I mean, just look at the track that's literally running the charts currently. that's uh literally based off beef like there's no other way to say it the track that's based off beef is the most popular track in the world which is kendrick and metro and future track like that which is literally the number one song in the world 90.3 million streams 76.8 million people pay for this track which doesn't happen people don't pay for hip hop tracks people just stream it and then that's it
Starting point is 00:39:59 But they're getting streams along with actual hard, not hard copy, but like actual purchases on digital platforms such as like iTunes and stuff. So they can have it forever. And people usually just stream the track. So anyways, beef is the reason why a lot of these sales are like the way it is. So like that by Kendrick, Metro Boomin, and Future. using that vehicle of drama going at the biggest rapper ever has resulted in them having the biggest track ever as far as streaming wise. And of course, that's a callback because we're going to get back to Beyonce in a second.
Starting point is 00:40:44 But now we're talking about numbers. So we're saying why these numbers are so significant and why drama attributes to it. Because now my whole take about going at Drake as a bad marketing strategy, does not look good in light of like that being at the top. But my rebuttal to that, of course, is because I still stand on it. Going at Drake is not a good marketing strategy because best believe me, the only reason like that is the most successful track for future Metro booming and Kendrick ever. Like out of their prestigious, iconic career, this is the most successful statistically.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Statistically speaking, this is the most successful track they've ever had. had in their career. Why do you think that is? And do you think they'll ever be able to replicate that? Of course not. So that's why I say going at Drake is not a good marketing strategy because of the longevity. I would rather have 50 to 60 top 20 hits than one out the park hit that resulted in me losing a lot of top 10 hits simply because I wanted to beef with the biggest rapper in my current genre. So anyways, that's why I say that. But anyways, um, getting back into Beyonce and why I talked about that went on that whole tangent. The reason why I said that is because drama filled this album Lemonade like no other, which put up again, once again, Beyonce had been putting out
Starting point is 00:42:17 music since 2002 and she put up another career high and first week sales and 653,000 first week copies. So Lemonade back in 2016 debuted on the billboard charts with first week sales of 653,000 copies. So that is the career high for Beyonce that was put up back in 2016. The reason why I say we're comparing Beyonce
Starting point is 00:42:47 to herself, because those type of numbers are unheard of. You really don't get across that threshold of first week sales unless you are Drake, Adele, Taylor Swift, or maybe an Ariana whenever she was in her prime. But, oh, and definitely, I would say the weekend, but the weekend's more of a longevity type artist. Like his first week sales, his drop-off is less than most of his peers.
Starting point is 00:43:17 So as far as the highs of first week sales, he doesn't really have that as far as when you compare him to a Beyonce and a Drake. And I know a lot of people are going to come at me like, what you mean? The weekend sells so much. If that was the case, he wouldn't have got beat out in first week sales when he was competing with Gunna. Yes, the weekend was competing with a rapper like Gunna in first week sales. Granted, the Gunna album was fantastic, but nonetheless, the weekend was competing with Gunna in first week sales.
Starting point is 00:43:48 And Gunna ended up winning, and he put up like 300 some thousand. So of course, that's a big number. But you're not in the same tier group as Beyonce Drake. Adele and Taylor Swift when it comes to first week sales. But you still, you know, longevity-wise, you still put up similar numbers.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Because, of course, I think he's like a top Spotify streamed artist. So, you know, people obviously continue to listen to him. Anyways, getting back into this album, oh, that's what I was saying. Okay, so the trilogy, right? There was Renaissance, Cowboy Carter,
Starting point is 00:44:29 and then there's a third trilogy. rumored to be like a Beyonce and Jay-Z collaborative album. Renazons back in 2022 sold 332,000 first week units. Significant drop-off from Lemonade. Why? Simply because of drama. After drama with lemonade, people could care less. And not care less as far as, it's still Beyonce.
Starting point is 00:44:50 But comparing her to her past self, people cared less for that release than they did for Renaissance, which showed in the actual numbers in 32,000, being significantly, lower than the $653,000 put up by 2016 lemonade. So to bring it full circle, that is why when we talk about Cowboy Carter having, and this is at the bare minimum, having surpassed 500,000 first week sales in the U.S., that means it's a huge accomplishment by Beyonce because she does not put up 500 to 600,000 first week units often. She has seven albums we can look back on and only two of them. three of them have surpassed that mark.
Starting point is 00:45:36 B-Day back in 2006, Beyonce back in 2013, and Lemonade back in 2016. So with this album making another significant push in first week sales, Cowboy Carter to me, and granted, I was born in 2000, so don't kill me, Beyonce fans, but it's my favorite Beyonce album from start to finish. this album is so amazing that I would not be surprised in the slightest if she actually ends up winning album of the year at Grammys. That's how great this album is. Like as far as sonically, she sounds amazing. She's performing everything at the umpteenth degree because if you don't know, she has a plethora of writers, which is used against her.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Because a lot of fans say, oh, she can't write a hit to save a life. but if you can perform it like Beyonce can, then why don't you do it? Why wouldn't every prestigious writer who's been writing for Beyonce forever? Why wouldn't they do it themselves if it was so easy? You know? And obviously, it's not easy. Beyonce performs it in a way that sonically vocal inflection is just out of this world and through the roof to the point where you realize that Beyonce is
Starting point is 00:46:59 her. You know how people be like I'm him? Beyonce is her. So anyways, Calibur Cardi Cardi, what in the world? Cowboy Carter has 27 tracks and
Starting point is 00:47:14 we're going to get to all of them because I ain't going to lie. This is a episode based off of the Beyonce country takeover. I mean, literally this whole episode is titled Beyonce's Country Revolution, a new era. So best believe we're going to spend some time on this album because this album out of all the
Starting point is 00:47:34 albums definitely deserves it as far as just having a track by track breakdown. Now obviously I'm not going to be going like super in detail to the point where I'm analyzing every single verse, but I will be giving my overall thoughts on every single track on this album because I'm not used to playing a Beyonce album like I've like I've been like listening to an album is one thing. but going back to it time and time again, even when, you know, you're in the gym and maybe you want to listen to some future or some, or some, who else drop?
Starting point is 00:48:09 Or some 21 Savage. But I'm putting on Beyonce and tyrant and listening to that hard beat while I work out. You know, it's like certain stuff that's on here that has cowboy infused elements, but still Aidaway's hitting back to the hip-hop roots. It's blended in a way, like,
Starting point is 00:48:29 no other which made it such a unique listen for me which is why i say is one of my favorite albums of all time that i've ever listened to so anyways um so as far as effort you can definitely tell it was put forth in this album because this is just fantastic i mean listen to the last track going back into uh cohesion aspect of it listening to the last track which is uh amen blend perfectly into american recrium it's like oh this is another level of attention to detail like obviously people end the album how they want but but blending it in a way to where it calls back to the first track and then it's basically a never ending loop of greatness i can't give enough praises to this album so anyways um before i get into the album review obviously let's talk
Starting point is 00:49:22 about you know the elephant in the room bianca is making country music i don't know if y'all know this but uh biance is of the african-american descent and what does that mean well the country space is not going to welcome her in the way that we would hope because of her being black and it's just simple as that so throughout her marketing and promotion she definitely had a lot of the pivotal people in that community give her a cosign to where it made it easier it made the medicine go down easier because it made people come around to the fact that yeah maybe black people did have a hand in country being what it is today and maybe we shouldn't be as gatekeeping to the black people versus white people you know what i mean it's almost one of those things where you know maybe
Starting point is 00:50:18 racism isn't okay you know i mean maybe i shouldn't just judge him off the skin of the color or off the color of the skin you know what i mean maybe i should just actually just actually judge the music itself without just being so defensive into what Beyonce is contributed to the to the country genre because that specific point I just made is literally why Beyonce is out here paying homage to artists like Dolly Parton Willie Nelson also having Miley Cyrus on her album like it's so many things that shows that she's not just being disrespectful she's paying respects to the greats in that genre based off of the fact that the country, I'm not going to say everybody in country,
Starting point is 00:51:01 it's just racist, because obviously I know people that's heavily in the country, and they're pretty cool. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's just my personal life experience. But as far as the totality of things,
Starting point is 00:51:13 through research, through people coming back, and the friends I've had, they've had, you know, racist encounters with that specific setting. Let's just put it like that. I would say that it's, It's much needed growth.
Starting point is 00:51:29 It's much needed growth as far as the inclusion of black people. And not only black people, but, you know, specifically the women, the black women into that country genre. Because sometimes it will let men, you know, they'll be more inclusive to men than women sometimes. And that's just in general in life. So with this being the first woman to top, both the hot country songs and hot R&B and hip hop song charts since the inception back in 1958
Starting point is 00:52:05 obviously the sales are cemented forever and in life so let's just focus on the quality aspect and how I think Beyonce uniting people through this country music country infuse hip hop music I think will help contribute to both genres throughout history instead of just trying to, instead of not welcoming Beyonce. So hopefully that makes sense. But yeah, that was just a little PSA to the country fans out there because I know they probably, you know what I mean, can't wait to call this album trash or whatever.
Starting point is 00:52:50 But anyways, and that's not for everybody. Obviously, that's to, you know, if the shoe fits, then you know what they say. you know what I mean um bioncé cowboy carter track one american record room straight classic not going to lie to you it's probably one of the best starts to an album i've ever heard like you press play and it's like
Starting point is 00:53:10 jumps out at you as far as the quality in their attention to detail i mean i'm talking about the harmonies the the way that she's going along with certain country infused beats. It's set up in a way to let you know that this is not just no half you know what attempt at making a country album. She did her due diligence, did a lot of research as far as
Starting point is 00:53:38 what makes country music great and has implemented that into her own album. And I'm not going to jump around, but even to piggyback off of that, that's the reason why the Jolene track is so significant because of the homage to dolly parton's joan track so anyways american recrium significant start classic intro to her album blackbird tanner adele brittney spencer tera kennedy and rena roberts i honestly don't know too much about those specific artists but what i do know is blackbird is fire and i really enjoy the track it's not too much i can go into detail on it's one of those tracks I really enjoyed, you're going to hear me repeat this a lot.
Starting point is 00:54:26 But as far as the vocal inflection and sonically, it's just 10 out of 10. Like, the performative aspect of this album is going to be through the roof. So Blackbird, completely phenomenal. And I really enjoyed that track. And just a great follow-up to the intro. And of course, we have 16 carriages. I've already covered this track in the past as far as, you know, it being a single, a two-pack single, a long.
Starting point is 00:54:51 with a Texas Hodom so when it first came out that was my favorite so 16 carriages was my favorite out of the Texas Holtem two pack but obviously they chose Texas Hodom you know as far as they I mean like the people as Texas Hodom is still like towards the top of the charts and I think last time I looked at it was like number eight so you know there's that as far as how Texas Hodom was impacting the charts and And then when you look at it, I wonder if I can find it off of, yeah, and when you look at it in the USA, yeah, the album's, it's hard to look at the stats now because the album just came out. But yeah, so I think it'll be even higher simply for the fact that the album came out because now a lot of people are going to be relistening to Texas Hold'em. And it'll probably even jump even higher as far as the top eight is concerned.
Starting point is 00:55:58 because of course let me see they say yaya is one of the more performing tracks off of the album bianca bionse and molly sire's second most wanted is aiming for a top 10 to be a debut so yaya um second most wanted texas holdum is going to keep rising so that's already three tracks in the top 10 which is crazy for for one album What else? And then they said, Levi Jeans is going to enter the top 10. Basically, this album is going to take over.
Starting point is 00:56:40 The only thing that's going to stop them from getting that number one, I think, is the track, which is why I even brought it up in the first place, the track like that with Kendrick Lamar Metro Boom in the future. Because in this capsule of time, if this was released any other point in history, I'm not going to say any other point. But as far as before or,
Starting point is 00:57:05 If it was before this track, it would have had a number one, right? I think at some point maybe it will top like that, but I think it just came way too soon as far as it came right out on the heels of like that. And like that, it's still in its prime. I mean, to this day, I'll play like that. Like, it's the whole album. Like, I'll listen to that five times in a row and still not be tired of it. Like that is really, you know, no pun intended, but it's like that.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Like, it's really one of the greatest hip-hop tracks ever. especially the way the beat comes okay let me you know it's about Beyonce but anyways so all of the tracks from that album is um going to chart and it's probably going to be one of those where it's like streamlined like she's probably going to take up the whole top 25 i kid you not because i think i think some of these are just interludes so it's not it's technically not 27 tracks i think it's like 24 because it's like is one the smoke hour i think that's is that the inner i think that's the uh i'm trying to think i think okay yeah so smoke hour is the interlude smoke hour two is another interlude
Starting point is 00:58:20 and then the lindale martin showed is another interview so yeah it's 24 tracks so hmm i would say the top 24 but you never know what 16 carriages like i think it's one of those to where it's going to obviously rise, but I don't know if it would be able to crack the top 25 again when I'm specifically talking about 16 carriages, but it just might because it's at number three. And I think that's for a reason. So people listen to that track when they're listening to the, uh, when they're concise, what's the word? Sequentially. I forget how to say it. When they're listening to the album in the sequence that it was dropped, you know, 16 Carriages is number three so they won't skip past that. But anyways, I do see her taking up to top 24 though,
Starting point is 00:59:14 definitely. So I can see one of those things, especially with the album being projected to be 500,000 first week, like top 24 I can see completely being taken up by Beyonce album. Because of course, like that by Metro Boom and Kendrick and Future, you know, it's going to stay at number one. So anyways, um, what else? What else? So yeah, I like that. track if that wasn't you know if that wasn't apparent uh track number four protector by biance and rumy carter this is one of my standouts of the album um i would have to get at the end i mean you have to excuse me you know it's 24 tracks i don't remember all of my top five list just yet but i do think this is one of my more uh like tracks off of the album just for the fact that the the overall story and overall message
Starting point is 01:00:03 is just something that you know is just timeless and the way that she performed it is just um great in the way that she infused such a timeless message uh message along with a country beat you know because it's one thing to to sing over a country beat and is another thing to to have vocal inflection reminiscent of premier cowboy not cowboy country artist so country artist's vocal inflection is very unique. So with the Benson Boone, with, what's his name? I totally forgot his name. Who's the guy who'd be saying the N-word every three seconds, but he's white?
Starting point is 01:00:52 Let me see. You think because he did like two collabs with Little Dirk that he can say the N-word? Where is he at? Ah, Morgan Wallen. That's who it is. That's what I was talking about. Okay, so Morgan Wallin is the guy who also has a pretty distinct, You know, I mean, it's a lot of country artists that have that distinct vocal inflection.
Starting point is 01:01:12 If y'all know, if y'all ever listen to country, you know what I'm saying. Like singers versus country singers, you can tell which ones are really into that, you know, country twang, you know, for lack of a better term. So anyways, I like the way that Beyonce is able to implement that into her performance and her vocal inflection in a way that makes it more authentic country music. So anyways, Protectors is just one of my standouts. My rose, I really don't have too much of it in Dell. a in-depth dive as far as this track. I just, I would say it's a solid track. What else?
Starting point is 01:01:46 Track number six is just an interlude by Willie Nelson, you know, smoke hour, you know what I'm saying? Track number seven, Texas Hold'em, obviously one of the best, better performing tracks for Beyonce currently in the past two to three years. It's been at the top ten, you know, been on the charts for about like seven. eight weeks i believe at this point and it's easily been in a top 10 so and it peaked at number one
Starting point is 01:02:14 so the stand power is ridiculous and so it will only probably go up from there as far as the track itself phenomenal i just i still to this day i prefer 16 carriages but you know hey teach his own so track number eight bodyguard that's um i don't really have an in-depth dive on that one i think that track is pretty solid what else track number nine dolly p okay is this another interlude or is this the actual track? I totally forgot but actually hold on I'm going to mute it I'm going to listen to it right quick because I have the album right here I'm trying to make sure yeah it was just a oh yeah it was a lead-up it so it's another interlude so it's really only on here another interlude to joanling because
Starting point is 01:03:04 I was thinking about I was like I don't remember that being a a song I forgot I could listen to this and just mute the player so yeah I'm going to listen to these because obviously I can't play the music on here but i'm gonna listen to these if i like forget because this hey i ain't gonna lie y'all got to forgive me 23 tracks it just came out you know what i mean it's it's a lot so i've been listening to it a lot but still it's still a lot to remember but um yeah dolly p was a um enalue to get you into jolline and that in my opinion is what the album took off of me because i was like to take a flip like joelene which everybody knows that you know it was originally a dolly parton uh track which actually let me look it up
Starting point is 01:03:54 because i want people to realize how big this track was because i don't think i really need to tell y'all but you know just to put in actual perspective you know got to look at the analytics you know you know what i'm saying because i think it's a great universal litmus scale to let y'all know just how impactful this track was so anyways um released back in 2019 and it's It sold over 935,000 digital copies. Let me repeat that. 935,000 digital copies. 6.68 million streams since because, well, it wasn't released back in 2019.
Starting point is 01:04:41 It's talking about the numbers since 2019. So obviously, they're probably even more today. But even when the official charts started, back in 2005, it amassed 255,000 downloads and 6.68 million streams. I love how they, you know, differentiate downloads between streams because a lot of people think downloads is the same as a stream. And as a podcast, podcaster, I ain't going to lie, that's infuriating. Because downloads is a specific person. Streams is just one person playing at how many times they want to play it. You know what I'm saying? Anyways, um, the single,
Starting point is 01:05:19 was certified platinum back in May 24th, 2023 by the RIAA certification, which is the Recording Industry Association of America, three times platinum for three million certified units because if you don't know, when you pass a certain mark, then you got to get certified. Like it's not just,
Starting point is 01:05:37 they don't just send you a plaque after you pass it. Like you have to go through a whole process of getting a certified. But then you just got to know that these numbers have changed probably grew massively in 2024, for it, but I just brought those numbers up to let you know that the track that she's sampling was already successful in its own right. And the reason I say that is because Beyonce's version of Jolene is great homage to the actual
Starting point is 01:06:05 quality of that original track. Obviously, I'm not going to compare it to, but let's just say, Beyonce had a very unique flip on the way she approached the track because I believe Dolly Parton's version is more of a passive aggressive, not passive aggressive, it's more of a passive, you know, non-confrontational
Starting point is 01:06:29 approach to letting somebody know to stop messing with your man. And for Beyonce, let's just say, there's this movie. I think it's Beyonce and Idris Elba. Hold on, let me go, I am DB because I know, no disrespect to Beyonce, but I know she's not in a lot of movies
Starting point is 01:06:45 that I remember. But I do. remember this one specific movie and I love how people kept bringing it up because this is what it reminded me of it was a movie which to this day I think is like super iconic like it's just it's one of those type movies where yeah back in 2009
Starting point is 01:07:05 okay it was obsessed with and it had Idris Elba in it like it's one of those I ain't a lot to you if you with your girl and it's just oh actually no it's not not I forget I said that if you with somebody listening to to this, hey, tell them I was joking. There's no movie
Starting point is 01:07:21 that exists like that. But whenever she stopped listening, you know what I'm going to make sure? All right, she stopped listening. All right, cool. So basically, whenever you're alone, you know what I'm saying? Because it's not one of them couple movies because then they're going to be thinking, why you show me this for? You trying to hint at something?
Starting point is 01:07:39 You got something to tell me? Like, you don't want them problems. But anyways, obsessed where Beyonce and Idris Elba, that movie reminded me at the track and i don't know why because i think it's just one of those to where when twitter has certain scenes from that movie i really looked at it and i was like you know what that actually makes sense because the whole confrontation i'm not gonna i'm not gonna spoil it of course because there was no girl named joelene in the movie it's just is just a great callback to the type of
Starting point is 01:08:16 energy this track brings and it's specifically replicated in her scene at towards the end of that movie let me just leave it at that i'm not going to spoil it for y'all anyways uh joan lena was fire let's just put it like that track number 11 daughter this is another one of my standouts because of the message i really like when people put their life perspectives into the music because i feel like it makes it more everlasting because whether you want to uh realize it or not music has way more lasting power than a human lifespan could ever have. So your music should be a reflection of your life so that if you, you know, God forbid,
Starting point is 01:08:56 if you ever pass away, people could listen to your music and try to get some type of glimpse into your overall perception of life because not every single track is going to be you self-reflecting. Like sometimes you just want to, you know, make a track say, I don't message you,
Starting point is 01:09:11 you know, shout out to Big Sean, or make a track like, um girl better have my money like riana like even though somebody may feel like that at times you know it's just a random track just to get off emotions right but you know the tracks with
Starting point is 01:09:25 your life experience is put into it like to refer to big Sean again like one man changed the world one of my favorite tracks of all time this track daughter which has a great message in itself um Kendrick Lamar towards the end of Mr. Morale
Starting point is 01:09:45 and the big steppers whenever he was talking about father his father issues and stuff those type of tracks are significant into letting people into your life perception and that is why i think it stands above the rest to me when it comes to quality so anyways obviously those probably not the performative tracks that statistically are superior because you know people prefer certain things when it comes replayability and self-reflection sometimes isn't one of them but to me personally i really hold those in a high regard as it gives me a nice it's like reading a book it gives me a it gives me your perception on life through your creative um instrument if that makes sense so anyways let's keep going track number 12 now this is where it gets spicy spaghetti is one of those to where the people who hold a
Starting point is 01:10:44 against the fact that basically the people who hold against Beyonce the fact that she uses writers I think spaghetti is why it shouldn't be such a pivotal point in the Beyonce naysayers because the performative aspect is such a integral part and rapping that even though somebody writes down some words on a paper to make them come a light to make them come to life you have to say them in a specific way in a specific fashion for inflections and certain things you want to emphasize and breath control all of that comes back into the form which you call rapping so with bioncé off of spaghetti i think that the way that she was getting off her bars and getting off her asses because I'm pretty sure the ad libs at the beginning of spaghetti needed some work before they came across as authentic because it sounds a little janky at first when you listen to it's like why is she doing that but then when you get into the flow he's like oh okay she was like literally getting ready to give some bars I mean she said that's a snap of my finger fingers on Thanos and then that's the um adlet I'm talking about but then she
Starting point is 01:12:15 gets into her verse, right? I ain't, wait, hold up. She was, yeah, she was revving up for this, right? When she gets into, they call me the captain, the catwalk assassin. When they know what's slapping, then here come the yapping. All of this snitching, all of this expeditive, because it's PG podcast, just a fishing, expedition, dumb admission, in the kitchen, cooking up them kitchen, cooking up them chickens extra leg but i ain't even trying to kick it country petty petty petty
Starting point is 01:12:54 all the same to me plain jane spaghetti no sauce no sauce too soft too soft they salty they shooting like curry one hand on my holster and pass it to hova thought it was sweet when they was walking in the back door of the kitchen past the dirty dishes now we are on the tried to turn me to the opposition. I'm appalled about the proposition. Y'all been played by the plagiaristic. Ain't gonna give no clout addiction. My attention.
Starting point is 01:13:29 I ain't no regular singer. Now come get everything you came for. The performance aspect of that track is way better than the way I just read it off. But of course, you would have to listen to it to get that type of comparison. Like if you listen to the track and then if you go back to me reading off the lyrics, obviously you can tell why I started off the fact, I started off the review of this specific track saying that the naysayers to Beyonce that say that she don't write her music, they have to stay back.
Starting point is 01:14:11 You know what I mean? Because the performative aspect is a huge pivotal part. and why i think this track works so anyways that's why that's why i brought that uh that's i brought that up so spaghetti is also one of my standouts well i'm at three standouts at this point at the end obviously i'm gonna give out my um top three top four but for right now we're just gonna get into the rest of the album okay so where are we at i didn't lost my place this this this album's long y'all but it's it's actually pretty it's pretty fire i ain't gonna lie it's It's a lot of different genre blending tactics used to keep you on your feet as far as the entire listen.
Starting point is 01:14:59 Okay, so Alligator Tears. That is one of those. Let's see if I can find this. Ah, here we go. Okay, so Alligator Tears by Beyonce. More of a slow down track. She's just getting off her vocals, you know what I mean? Just showcasing why she's one of the greatest singers ever.
Starting point is 01:15:18 So that track is pretty solid. Track number 14, it's an interlude. So, you know, it's good. You know, it's a smoke hour. It gets back into the country roots of the Twain, having really Willie Nelson being the narrator of it. So anyways, track 15, just for fun. I would say that's more of a slowdown track.
Starting point is 01:15:45 I'm not going to say that's one of my favorites. It's okay. You know what I mean? It's one of those ways it's okay. Probably one of my more. skippable tracks off the album, even though there's really no skips on this album. Like, this whole album is a vibe.
Starting point is 01:15:59 But as far as just for fun, like if I'm in the gym, I'll probably name more of an upbeat track, which we're going to get to those in a second. Next, track number 16, Most Wanted by Beyonce and Miley Cyrus. Who would have thunk? A collaboration between Miley Cyrus and Beyonce
Starting point is 01:16:17 is what the world needed. Because this, back and forth, I want to just call it a duet. It's simply amazing. Easily the standout on the track, the standout on the album for me. Probably top three because putting Mali Cyrus on the album seems like a pander move
Starting point is 01:16:41 to the country society. But after listening to the track in the way they bounced off of each other and sonically how it complimented one another with Mollinger. sire's i'm not going to say forgive me for using this term because it's not raspy but it's a more country twang type of feel to myly cyrus in the way she sings and then biancy comes with the more like elegant uh vocals to to compliment that and i'm definitely not calling molly cyrus voice raspy it's hard to quantify it's almost like when somebody uses auto to tune, but for
Starting point is 01:17:24 Mali Cyrus, her country twang is like the auto tune. I don't know if that makes sense. I'm sorry. I don't know how to quantify it, but Molly Cyrus has a nice bag that she gets into vocally that I don't think a lot of people can replicate because of her authentic upbringing
Starting point is 01:17:42 in the country roots, if that makes sense. So that duet was perfect and made so much sense being on this album. So definitely ease delete my top three track off of this album. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:57 And back to back. Oh, that's crazy. So, honestly, that's probably my favorite run then. Most wanted into Levi Jeans. It's probably my favorite run on this entire album. Because Levi Jeans is one of those where Beyonce and Post Malone, two ginormous, iconic names that you would look at, you would think they would have all the pressure in the world to put out a smash hit whenever they eventually collaborate. And for Levi Jeans, let me tell you that there's no need to worry. The first Beyonce and Post Malone collab has been confirmed a hit as listening to it,
Starting point is 01:18:37 the subject matter, the tonality of Beyonce going first and then Post Malone coming in like one third of the track. And then I'm both playing off each other towards the end. And then the last 20 seconds is what made me realize that Post Malone, brought his A game because obviously throughout the verse you know they're giving their sentiments about Levi jeans you know a lot of double double triple entendres as far as what that means and then towards the end post Malone gets on his whole solo basically and he gets on this singing verse where he's just coming forth with so much emotion in his second verse I would say
Starting point is 01:19:18 it's like towards the last 20 seconds of the track hold on let me see let me play this and Yeah, like, so three minutes and 42nd minute mark of Levi-Gines is when Post-Malone gets into like a bag that was like, oh, he brought his A-game. I ain't never heard Post-Malone try to hit that key, try to hit that note before. So he definitely knew who he was collaborating with on this track. It definitely brought his A-game to the point where this is definitely top two for me. Levi-Gines is easily top two. We're going to get number one in a second. It's kind of coming into a clearer picture because I'm going into that whole album.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Once again, 23, 24 tracks. It's hard to remember every single track as far as my hierarchy when it just came out. But it's coming into clear. It's being more clear as I finished my review. So anyway, Levi Jeans definitely top two as far as the album is concerned. just for the fact that I like the blending of performances of Post Malone and Beyonce. Track 18. How you said this?
Starting point is 01:20:43 Flaminoico? I don't know. More of a slow down track. I don't really have nothing to say about that. Delindel, the Linda Martin Martel Show. I can't read. I think that's an interlude. Is this an interlude?
Starting point is 01:21:04 Yeah. Okay. So there's four interludes. yeah so there's technically 23 tracks because there's four interludes so anyways um and then if you get into um the singles there's there's uh let's see there's actually 21 new offerings as far as complete songs so 21 complete songs from biance it's really not that much like you look at 27 anything like goodness gracious who's listening to all that. But if you think of the fact that there's four interludes and then there's two
Starting point is 01:21:39 singles that was already, or there's two tracks that was already out as singles, really, you have only 21 complete songs off of this album, which I think is a, you know, not overdoing it, but definitely not a subservice as far as a Beyonce, a project is concerned. So anyways, because some people may be like, oh, that's too much, which 21 tracks for some people may still be too much but we're talking about one of the greatest to ever do it like obviously if it's this long is that long for a reason so anyways um yeah track number 20 yeah this is the one that's performing on the tracks currently and a lot of people are liking this um i think it's because of the performative aspect that could the what's it called the potential of performing this
Starting point is 01:22:37 is through the roof. Listening to Yaya, you can already picture Beyonce on the grand stage with her backup dancers and the crowd going wild to this track. This probably is the best
Starting point is 01:22:52 performative track on this album, which is why it's probably doing well sales, statistically speaking, is probably attributed towards the performative aspect of this track. So that's why I think
Starting point is 01:23:09 Yaya's doing so well as far as when it comes to streams. Because the potential to have such a grandiose type of performance with this track is just through the roof. So anyways, track number 21. O Louisiana is more of a slower track. So I would say
Starting point is 01:23:32 and once again, I'm playing the track so I can, you know, refresh my mind on how it goes. But more of a slower track to get you into the next track. So I'm not going to put too much credence on it, but it's not bad. You know, it's definitely not bad.
Starting point is 01:23:49 But anyways, track number 22, Desert Eagle, I would say that's also showcasing Beyonce is just extraordinary vocal ability. And you just have to listen to the album to just know what I'm talking about because it's literally like I always say that Ariana is probably the best singer I've ever heard like in life. And I would say at the weekend. it's probably the best like male singer i've heard obviously you know somebody's going to come out to cut like what about tank what about um what's his name i forget his name but anyways
Starting point is 01:24:30 you know that's the point right you know it's it's so many people that may be better at a talent aspect but as far as the totality of things and replayability is involved it's not all about sales but if you can captivate the masses along with talent then you know i'ma be um one as far as who i think is the better all time so that's why i say ariana and the weekend's probably the best voices you know as far as the two um as far as the respective uh people are concerned in their peer group so anyways um what else river dance track 23 so let me tell you some i even got to play this to remember what this is this is uh definitely in my top five and for the simple fact that y'all remember how i talked about yaya and the performative aspect river dance is probably
Starting point is 01:25:31 up there as far as the next track as far as having the highest potential on just setting the crowd off and making them go crazy because bison knew what she was doing making this track river dance now this is pg podcast you know so a lot of things can't be explained as far as what i mean by that statement but um let's just say river dance is going to promote a lot of actions from significant others so that's what we're going to leave it at all right so track number 27 second hands uh two hands to heaven So I forget how this track went how did this track go? Oh, this track is okay so this is one of those where the harmonies really showcases its highest, like the highest level of vocal harmony I think is displayed in this track. I really like the vibe it sets.
Starting point is 01:26:40 It's not for every setting, I would say, but as far as the vocal ability is on display again. but now it's accompanied by a lot of different background harmonies. And it reminded me of what the weekend does sometimes when he's going into his retrospective bag, when it's like they let the beat fade out. And the background vocals kind of just accompanied the main vocals in a way that it's like a huge harmony throughout the rest of the track, making it a total vibe. For people who don't really make music or really going to detail with music like that, that was probably super confusing.
Starting point is 01:27:16 All you need to know is that there's multiple vocal tracks with Beyonce on two hands to heaven and the harmonies on it is amazing. Tremendous. And that's basically what I'm trying to explain. So anyways, yeah, track 25. Isn't it funny that we're almost at the end of the track and I still haven't said which track is my favorite off of this entire album? It's because it's this one right here. track 25 tyrant by biance and dolly parton i even know she was attributed to this album oh because she was talking on it because i was i was thinking i was like why is dolly parton so a part of this
Starting point is 01:27:58 album and she's never like i don't think she ever performs if i if i'm not mistaken i don't think she ever performs any other tracks it's just like uh it's like killer cam for j cole off of the off season like killer cam was hyping up j cole to perform that's kind of what dolly parton is doing mostly on this album so anyways uh tyrant by far is my favorite track on off the off of the album and you want to know why d a got that dope and metro booming needs to have a versus like they need to have a versus which obviously you know metro probably smoke him you know no disrespect no disrespect to d a but i'm just saying some more of respect has to be put on this man's ability to make a fire beat because the way he flipped the country elements
Starting point is 01:28:48 to a hip-hop infused 808 sounding type beat is what every person when they type in country hip-hop type beat this is what they imagine this type of beat being such hard-hitting while also a callback to the country genre roots as far as the infused instrument uh the infused instrumentation that leads itself into one of the greatest beats i've heard this year because i don't want to go too far because I'll have to listen again and again, obviously, it just came out. But Tyrant, that beat by far to me is my favorite from Beyonce, because it's like a perfect blend of country, hip hop, and performed by Beyonce, while also just having an overall message of just Beyonce being her,
Starting point is 01:29:39 which, I mean, technically she is. I mean, she's not called the queen for no reason. Tyrant, to me, is the ultimate depiction of what a Beyonce smash should sound like. And that is why to me, Tyrant is my favorite track off of the album. Okay. Track number 26. Sweet Honey Buckin by Beyonce and Shibuzi. Now, I don't know if I forgot to talk about this, man.
Starting point is 01:30:08 Because Shibuzzi's on one of the... Yeah, Shibuzzi's on Spaghetti. I totally forgot to talk about him. I got into Beyonce and totally forgot to talk about Shibuzi. Well, anyways, I'm going to do it now. So track number 26, Sweet Honey Bucking has Shibuze. boozy and then track 12 spaghetti has shibuzi as well basically this is a guy to where he made his rounds off of being famous through clips trying to find this specific clip once again analytic dreams video to see the well analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio but anyways he Here is this man and this is who I'm talking about.
Starting point is 01:30:52 This guy right here. So I forget which freestyle it was. It was a specific freestyle. I don't know if he posted it. I don't think he's posted it. Anyways, there was a specific freestyle he went viral for, but this is what he looks like, right? And everybody probably remembers him or no,
Starting point is 01:31:12 what's the word? People probably know who I'm talking about now based off of my, based off of me showing his Instagram because he went viral for some clip for him it wasn't freestyle it was a freestyle it was like he was singing some type of country song
Starting point is 01:31:30 and people just thought he was going to start rapping because of his appearance you know and um yeah he's been doing it for a while he's been doing it since like 20 hold on let me not just guess let me look it up so basically Shibuzi has been doing this for
Starting point is 01:31:47 for a minute which makes me you know just be so understanding to little nod's ex because man that man can't catch a break i mean imagine popping off with a certain sound that somebody started before you and then you fall in off and then that person who started before you now he's getting his claim to fame that's basically what's happening with shibuzzi as he started way back in 2014 obviously we know when little nods ex got popping But now he's making way more waves in the music industry as not only the Beyonce handout as far as two features on her album. But he had a track off of the Spider-Verse album, which obviously Metro was producing with the track Start a Riot. Wait, was it that specific track?
Starting point is 01:32:45 This was from, no, this was from the first track. Oh, that's interesting. Okay, so it wasn't Metro. This was from the first Spider-Verse track, and he was a part of that one on Starter Riot. He was with Duckworth. Anyways, since that, he's been making his waves and obviously been keeping his name afloat enough to end up on Beyonce's country-inspired album, not once, but twice. So his contributions to this album was significant. And every time he came on, he really delivered his verse in an exceptional way.
Starting point is 01:33:23 And I think he did an amazing job on making his presence be felt on this album. And making it makes sense to Beyonce fans because people are probably going to be like, why is he on this album? Then they're going to listen to his verse and be like, oh, that's why he's on this album. Okay. Track number 27, Amen. Now, this is what I was hinting to at the beginning of the album, how, well, no, at the beginning of my album review,
Starting point is 01:33:47 how Amen was more of a a conclusion to the actual album by Beyonce into going into American Requiem. So it was a conclusion and then it was a transition into the first track. So it was like a never-ending loop of this classic album which is Cowboy Carter.
Starting point is 01:34:07 So that's why I'm a label Amen as. The perfect conclusion to the album while also setting it up in a way to make the first track seamless in a way that you can just have this album on an absolute loop if you wanted to now for me personally i listened to an album from start to finish like two to three times and then after that i just listen to it on shuffle um so i caught it the second time as far as the last album leading up into the first track because you know after the last i didn't really notice it the first time. I mean, the first time you listen to an album, you don't catch everything. So, but I just
Starting point is 01:34:47 love the, um, the cohesion aspect and also the finality of A man being one of those to where it lets you know that the grandiose album, which is cowboy car that has came to an end and it leaves you off with some, uh, nice vocals from Beyonce, of course. So, I mean, in all actuality, my top five when it comes to this album currently, because remember the album, the album, just came out like what two, three days ago. My actual top five currently would be should I start with number one? Let's just start with number one. Number one will be Tyrant, which is track 25. Second would be Levi jeans by Beyonce and Post Malone, which is track 17. Number three will be most wanted by Beyonce and Molly Cyrus. Number four.
Starting point is 01:35:43 it will probably be man that's hard to make a top five it would probably be River Dance track 23 and then number five yeah this I ain't gonna lie this is kind of hard I would have to say spaghetti
Starting point is 01:36:02 number five would have to be spaghetti track number 12 so yeah as you can tell like that's why I kept you know saying that my whole
Starting point is 01:36:15 oh, this one of my standouts, I had to wait till I get to the end, because that's how I knew how to put it in perspective. So, you know, a lot of, I forget what the word is, but basically, you know, I had a, oh, a lot of preface. You know, I had to preface it with, wait until I get to the end of the album because it could completely change. I mean, it's 23 tracks. It's hard to remember all of them.
Starting point is 01:36:37 But after, you know, reviewing track by track, I remember my top five now. And obviously, it could change easily. I mean, the album just came out. But one thing is for certain. Tyrant does have one of the best. this year and last year that I've heard. It's definitely not better than like that. Like, obviously, you know, we can't be crazy now.
Starting point is 01:36:55 Like that by Kendrick Future and Metro is the reason why that beat you went to Kendrick. But Tyrant is one of those beats where you listen to and it's just you make the, you make the scrunched up face. You know what I mean? Like, it's a very hard beat and it comes on very, uh, you know what they say it comes on? It definitely comes on. So anyways, no ditty. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:37:17 But anyways, that is my review of the Beyonce Cowboy Carter album. At the end of the day, y'all have listened to it yourselves. So you will be able to give me a nice review because you've been listening to it longer. So hopefully by this time, you can tell me maybe your favorite track, your top three. Because at this point in time, 500,000 at least sales for the first week. I know everybody has probably listened to it in their mom. So it's definitely going to be a candidate for album of the year for the Grammys. I think it's going to win.
Starting point is 01:37:54 I don't think people realize how good this album was going to be until it finally was out. Even me. I was like, Beyonce's making a country album. Like, I mean, it's probably going to be solid. Like, you know what I mean? So I didn't have too high of expectations. Really, when this album came out, Drake, Drake was supposedly supposed to be on like BFB. be the Pac-Man's album and giving him a verse.
Starting point is 01:38:19 So I thought he was about to respond to Kendrick. So that's what I was waiting for. And apparently it was just an old verse. So he didn't clear it for Pac-Man because of the whole Kendrick situation. So he didn't clear it. And it ended up not happening. So now I was like, well, let me listen to the Beyonce album. You know, it's like one of those where I was excited for it.
Starting point is 01:38:37 But, you know, I didn't want to have too high of expectations. Because once again, I ain't know what to expect. And boy, let me tell you. I don't even care if you come with the highest expectations. you ever have for Beyonce. This album is one of one. One of those to where years, decades down the line, we're going to be looking back on Calvary Carter being one of the most pivotal albums ever in the music industry. Anyways, click my link to my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Beyonce's country-inspired album, Calboy Carter? And after weeks of listening to it, well, a week, three, four days of listening to it, what is,
Starting point is 01:39:15 your top three favorite tracks from Beyonce's country inspired album, Cowboy Carter. Honestly, the cross-verifying of so much information is why this came out at the time it did because I wanted to cross my, well, dot my eyes, cross my tease as far as gathering the information and being able to give it back to y'all in a concise fashion. let me tell you all something of course a lot of people have a lot to say but with me calling myself analytic dreams we got to get into specific facts and the lack of facts about this whole situation so that's why i tried to do my due diligence you know i'm saying and cross-reference between like cnn bc ronaldon
Starting point is 01:40:14 variety, a plethora of other articles from the Los Angeles Times, and this is what I came up with. So I'm going to lay the facts out in front of you. Obviously, I have some videos pulled up to also get into just the other elements of it, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. But before that, let me just lay it out to you. So basically, there's a lot of jokes that can be had but one thing for certain is that the federal agents rated two of Sean Diddy Combs houses in Los Angeles and Miami as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation. Now I want to stop there because of course the P. Diddy and the Diddler and the No Diddy and all the sort of slang that's been thrown around and created by the one and only P. Diddy event is.
Starting point is 01:41:11 funny but at the end of day we have to separate certain things so obviously I'm gonna get my jokes in when needed but this is just more of an informal setting to let you know what's actually happening because I think a lot of people come at it from the standpoint of oh I knew he was doing it that's why they're saying did he do it because they're basically implying that he did do it so what I want to say is the comparisons between Sean and Jeffrey Epstein to me personally is outlandish and the premise that a lot of people are attacking it as far as comparing it to is simply based off of based off of luring victims with their luxurious lifestyle and then assaulting them so that's
Starting point is 01:41:57 why people are comparing ditty to epstein but the reason why i say is more outlandish to compare those two is simply for the fact that there was a pristine difference i'm not basically condoning anything that happened with these two situations i'm pointing out the difference of why these two individuals should not be compared because jeffrey epstein is and has been tried for having and targeting so not even having just targeting underage people some as young as 14. All of the allegations against Diddy is individuals who were of age. Of course, once again, I want to say I'm not condoning any of the actions that have allegedly happened. I'm just saying that the connections between Diddy and Epstein is completely outlandish. It makes no sense to why
Starting point is 01:42:59 you're comparing somebody who targets underage people to somebody who allegedly, all of them were age. So of course, the abuse of power and violation is going to people is going to make people just blindly associate one with the other. But there's pristine and factual differences that you can look up for yourself that I think is worthy to be noted. Now, let's get back into the whole lawsuit situation, right? Because basically the whole thing that kicked this off was Cassie accusing P. Diddy of the R word and abuse way back in 2018. And basically that ended up being settled for an undisclosed amount. But a lot of people are saying it was a lot of money, like around 50 to 60 million.
Starting point is 01:43:47 How do I know that versus other people? There's insider sources, quote unquote. And then when you see the aftermath of some stuff, you realize why he would have paid 50 to 60 million for her to stop pursuing that case. as it was settled for undisclosed amount of course and then there was another one but there was joey jerry dickerson neal alleging that alleging sexual uh sexual assault by combs in 1991 during her college years and then somebody else was saying that anonymous plaintiff accused combs and aaron hall of the r word back in 1990 to 91 another loss of to accuse Combs of participating
Starting point is 01:44:35 and gang R-word in an undiscused and under undiscused what did I say? And basically it happened in 2003 and then
Starting point is 01:44:49 a producer Rodney Little Rod Jones sued Combs alleging unwanted advances and involvement in sex trafficking parties with underage women. So of course those are all the lawsuits being targeted towards Diddy.
Starting point is 01:45:09 And what I would say is the overall landscape of the law and how it's implemented, I am not a professional way. So I'm just going to cover the facts and lay it out for you because a lot of the things that's been happening has been he says, she said, but the overall facts of the case as far as the lawsuits I just named. for you in the years that they was that they was claiming it happened in is a result in this raid that just happened in the ongoing investigation by the federal homeland security so that means that it's very serious as far as the stakes right now because no formal charges have been made against Sean Diddy Combs but the investigation stems from all the lawsuits I his name and the allegations of sex trafficking but of course the specifics are not disclosed so when getting into into all of the allegations that's when we come up or come to the video i'm about to play right now
Starting point is 01:46:23 as this gives you more of a overview snapshot of what happened but basically i wanted to set the ground stage for why this is happening and all the lawsuits dating all the way back to like 19 90 and why this is such a big deal now right so anyways um shout out to let me see if i can find this entertainment tonight for this video but basically go to analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio and so this was provided um more clarity into the whole ray situation as they have very exclusive photos and videos of what happened during the raid so uh let's play that right now They're going to probably be arrested me just because we want to have a good time. Multiple safes broken into drawers ripped open, closets ransacked, boxes of gun ammo and Grammy Awards.
Starting point is 01:47:20 New images from TMZ show Inside Diddy's ransacked Beverly Hills. Like these photos are like, how in the world do you get this during a federal raid? Like, I don't think I understand. This was conducted by federal homeland security. not just some random raid that happens whenever somebody calls your house and they try to play a prank on you. Like this is federal homeland security investigations basically is one of those to where it was so organized that they had two houses at the same time and being ransacked. And this is the outcome of it. Look at these pictures.
Starting point is 01:47:58 I mean, these are how did you get these pictures? Basically is where I'm going at. Like who needs to be fired based on just the public. outing of private settings. You know what I mean? Like, of course, the federal homeland security investigations probably had a warrant to have certain things in their possession. But as far as the public and these TMZ photos, I'm like,
Starting point is 01:48:27 bro, somebody needs to be fired. This is not normal to have these type of photos. But maybe I'm tripping. Droars ripped open, closets, ransack, boxes of gun ammo and Grammy Awards, New images from TMZ show Inside Diddy's ransacked Beverly Hills Mansion during the coast-to-coast raids where no arrest were made. People in the home are traditionally detained during raids, so they don't flee, and so they don't destroy evidence. The rapper's attorney calls it a witch hunt with an excessive show of force and hostility that led to a premature rush.
Starting point is 01:49:00 I mean, look at these videos and photos. That's actually insane. How do they get these? They don't execute these types of search warrants until they believe they have an eye. ironclad case. So where's the 54 year old now? Unclear, but his jet that traveled to Antigua from L.A. on Monday just landed in Miami today. That's where Diddy was last seen, reportedly bound for a Caribbean spring vacation with his two daughters. Also with him, an associate, Brendan Paul, who was arrested for alleged drug possession. He's been accused in a lawsuit of being a, quote,
Starting point is 01:49:31 drug mule for Diddy, but hasn't commented. At least five lawsuits have been filed nearly all by those claiming Diddy drugged and forced them into having sex. Longtime enemy, Diddy Sant posted that his upcoming docu series on the allegations. Actually, this pause right there because 50 cent coming out of this is like, or coming out of nowhere to be accused of this is crazy. Because I'm like, we're in the world of 50 playing this equation. But basically, it's kind of messy. So I'm not going to spend too much time on it.
Starting point is 01:50:04 But basically, um, P. Diddy, from what I've seen and all the articles and stuff that I've been like looking at, basically, P. Diddy had 50 cents baby mom after their split up or whatever. And then allegedly had her be a sex worker for him. And that was in the lawsuit. So now that is in a lawsuit. 50 cent saw that. And probably this is why it's messy because maybe he probably.
Starting point is 01:50:42 Honestly, when people say people are beefing over a woman nine times out of 10, this is why. Who knew that this was happening the whole time? People just thought 50 Cent was going at P. Diddy for no reason. But now it seems like the mother of your child being allegedly a sex worker for Diddy, it adds a lot of credence to why you keep constantly going at him. So now that the main reason you go at him has been exposed in the lawsuit, allegedly, you are seeking sole custody of your son. So with that whole situation, now I think it adds a much clearer picture to why 50 cent keeps going at P. Diddy. Because a lot of people was just saying, oh, it's just jokes.
Starting point is 01:51:28 And 50 Cent likes going at him because P. Diddy was literally asked on a breakfast club. Like, what do you think about 50 Cent keep going at? going at you and he p ditty just shrugged it off he was like me and him are friends or whatever so he made like light of the situation but obviously i'm not saying this is the main reason but this is probably a good indication to why 50 cent keeps going at p ditty all right anyways let's get let's get back into the the video but i have my big shon up big shone stuff up uh for my last segment all right here we go let's get back into the video Diddy Sand posted that his upcoming docu series on the allegations is now entitled Did He Do It?
Starting point is 01:52:12 When we're doing, we can't really disclose, but it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream. I lived with Sean Puffy. And not even that. I've already talked about this Usher situation, but I was not aware of the Justin Bieber aspect. So when that video popped up, it reminded me of another video that I have. Let me see if I can bring it up. It was an encounter between Justin Bieber and Diddy. Yeah, here it is.
Starting point is 01:52:41 It's right here. And people was saying that this was also a result of that, like Justin Bieber trying to distance himself from P. Diddy after, you know, alleged things that P. Diddy put him through. So a lot of people was pointing towards this as being a reason why people are saying he's been like this and like luring people to have maybe unwanted sexual. intercourse allegedly. I have to keep saying that because I'm not trying to get sued. I'm just reporting what people are saying. You know what I'm saying? So anyways,
Starting point is 01:53:12 let's get back into the whole diddy and Justin Bieber aspect. So man, you're good? I'm good. That young brother, everything's good. Selling out arenas and everything. Starting to act different, huh? You ain't been calling me and hanging out the way we used to hang out. Well, I mean, you have I mean, you tried to get in contact with me, you know, through all my, you know, partners and whatnot. But you never really got my number. So. number yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and not going to lie that is just uh very disturbing if you look at it from that aspect but i'm not capable for giddy for ditty so i'm not
Starting point is 01:53:50 going to throw any type of devil uh devil advocate type scenario i'm just going to say that's weird and leave it at that because it's just weird like it's just like you're a grown man and I don't know, man. The whole, I'm rethinking the start of my segment. I may have to pull a Joe button and cut some of that out. But because I'm all for transparency, I'm not cutting that out at all. I'm going to say that my point about the Sean Diddy and Epstein, whole comparison being false because Epstein was specifically going at underage girls,
Starting point is 01:54:30 I may have to take that back because that was the one time I was playing devil advocate and all the information that I've been given back to y'all is because obviously i've researched before and coming to these conclusions but then once you actually see the i don't know what it is about video but it's just like i think the comparisons may be true you know what i mean like it may hold some credence as far as epstein and ditty allegedly so yeah i'm taking back my opinion on that but obviously i'm leaving in my segment i'm just you know if you ain't reached that far then that's your fault but I also said in the same segment that I completely now I'm just I'm disregarding what I said at the beginning forget that devil advocate of of people comparing him to Epstein being false
Starting point is 01:55:14 now is at this point I understand like I understand I'm coming around at this point and that that's what video does that's why I started playing more video throughout my podcast because I want people to see why I'm also cross-referencing and getting information from so they don't think I'm just you know making stuff up and just talking so anyways Let's get back into this, uh, it's some disturbing stuff. Ain't going to lie to you. For a year. Um,
Starting point is 01:55:40 series on the allegations is now entitled, Did He Do It? When we doing, um, we can't really disclose. But, um, it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream. I lived with Sean Puffy Combs for a year. So I got the chance to see some things. Yeah, but you were 13. What were you seeing? I went there to see the lifestyle.
Starting point is 01:55:59 Right. And I saw it. As the sex trafficking investigation continues, interviews with Diddy's star protégés are going viral, including Usher, who said as a teen, the rapper introduced him to a hypersexual environment he called Puffy Flavor Camp. You know, hot girls, pretty girls.
Starting point is 01:56:16 I'm around grown women, and I'm seeing them do things and have experiences that I'm not quite ready for. Would you ever send your kid to Puffy Camp? Hell no. Let's just go get some girls. As I said before, I'm innocent. Diddy talked to E.
Starting point is 01:56:36 about his prior trouble with the law, including that infamous 1999 nightclub shooting at the time he and then girlfriend Jalo were both arrested. So I think that's basically the end of it, but let's get back into current day Diddy in his events as, let me see, I think this one has here. Sean Diddy Combs has resurfaced.
Starting point is 01:57:03 Three days after authorities raided the rapper's homes in Los Angeles and Miami, the 50 yeah okay so this is basically his uh current whereabouts and i say current because obviously you know people thought he just went on the run that's that they kept like showcasing his plane landing somewhere where he was uh allegedly being said to have been on the run when he's been on a trip with his daughters the whole time so anyways this is the video playing off of that the four year old was seen having a family night out combs was photographed at top golf in miami march 28 with his 17 year old twin daughters, Delilah and Jesse, who he shared with the late Kim Porter. And as the Grammy
Starting point is 01:57:39 winner who was father of seven walked by the paparazzi, he flashed them the peace sign. On March 25th, Homeland Security investigations, HSI agents executed search warrants at Combs's L.A. and Miami properties. Multiple law enforcement sources told NBC News, while noting the warrant was out of the Southern District of New York. During the searches, guns were found and the Department of Homeland Security seized phones from Combs and Miami before he was scheduled to take a trip to the Bahamas. Law enforcement sources familiar with the warrant service added to the outlet. Four people have since been interviewed by prosecutors and investigators from the Southern
Starting point is 01:58:15 District of New York about allegations of sex trafficking. Sexual assault, the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms supposedly tied to Combs, a source told. All right there. So basically, that's, uh, that is where we're at. That's the whole situation. I'm not going to lie too. I'm just going to play a little B-roll of the whole start of the Fed raid
Starting point is 01:58:41 and how they went into his home and stuff. So I'll probably play this right here. So you can see that in the background. But basically, now to give my own personal thoughts about it, now that I've seen all the video that I've brought together for this whole segment. So obviously what I said at the beginning about the Epstein P. Diddy stuff, you know, I'm not going to keep harping on. But that's just at this point, it's fair game.
Starting point is 01:59:03 Like, after all the evidence I've seen presented and looked at, it's like, when you go through it, I guess it's different than actually just writing it down and getting ready for a segment because after looking at it, listening to stuff and seeing all the information come in such a concise fashion, it's like, you know, I can't defend it. You know what I mean? I wasn't even going to try to defend it. I was just going at that specific point about the Epstein stuff, but at this point, hey, everything's fair game. Did he put himself in a peculiar situation that I just simply can't defend? And at the end of the day, only God knows. You know what I'm saying? Only God knows.
Starting point is 01:59:48 And hopefully we get some type of, you know, some type of justice for the victims and some type of clarification on what this whole scenario is about. Because if this dates all the way back to the 1990s when he literally founded Bad Boy Records and its 2024, then they better have some type of reason to why they didn't come at him sooner, right? Because this whole, I think it's called Diageo brand deal that went through with the rock and stuff, which, you know, a lot of people conspiring saying it's the reason why they held off going at him because he was in business. business and one of the biggest liquor companies in the world. And as soon as they let him go, that's when they came after him. Obviously, conspiracy theories are going to fly out there you know what as far as
Starting point is 02:00:45 this situation is concerned. But that is the one while I'm looking at it. I'm like, why did they wait so long to do this? And as soon as he gets out of business with one of his most lucrative business ventures ever with Diageo, aka Syrac and all the other bottles of Sarac and flavors he helped promote right after he got out of business with them, why did this happen? And not before. So that's the only type of conspiracy theory brainstorming that you're going to get out of me. Because the main purpose of this segment is just to put the facts in front of you, put a lot of the information
Starting point is 02:01:22 in a way that is concise and let you come to your own conclusion. So At the end of day, hopefully I did my job and letting you know about this whole federal agents versus Sean Diddy Combs situation. And, you know, only the future holds what is going to happen as far as this event is concerned. So with that being said, click my link tree in my bio. Let me know on one of my social media is. What do you think about the whole Sean Diddy Combs situation? And what is your overall takeaway from this scenario?
Starting point is 02:01:58 Do you think Diddy do you think did he? Oh my goodness. That's a tongue twisted. Did he and Diddy is so close. No wonder. No wonder why 50 cents making that a whole document. Anyways, you get the question, right? Do you believe Diddy is guilty? Well, I'm not even going to say that way because, you know, who's a lawyer out here? You know what I mean? I'm at a loss for words. I ain't going to lie. P. Diddy is so influential in a hip-hop culture. It's sad to see a day like this comes. It's like a crash. and burn type scenario like obviously i'm not going to compare him to other legendary icons who didn't have certain allegations towards him but man it's like seeing the icon motivator as far as the mindset in your specific genre completely crash and burn and it's just a sad sight to see obviously you know
Starting point is 02:02:55 praise the all involved as far as the victims and the alleged victims but you know at the end of day I'm at a loss for words man that's actually pretty crazy so anyways click my link to my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about this whole scenario and what is your biggest takeaway from this shan diddy combs situation marvel is back again to hopefully give us an in captivating story as to throwing it all the way back to 1940s with the rise of hydra so that's basically what this whole segment is about basically captain america black Black Panther, the video game. The setting matters because, of course, Captain America is one of those characters where
Starting point is 02:03:45 he was very prevalent in the old timeline as far as back in the old days and the current day because he was put on ice. So how do you tie that in as far as a throwback video game with another superhero? You use another character that has longevity as far as the whole Black Panther mantra is considered because if you don't know that's passed down the family tree as far as the next person who's who's next up as far as the the son so with that being said there is it's very interesting right 1940s and black people if you had the question asked to you would you rather go 10 years into the future or 10 years into the past, you was probably asked that question by a white man.
Starting point is 02:04:46 Like the person who asked that question was probably white. Because let me tell you something. As a black man, as a black woman, there's no black human that would want to go in the past because of the horrific things that was done to the African American community. Now, with that out the way, don't want to make it too morbid. You know what I'm saying? but it is set in the 1940s so i was like why not throw a little 1940 fact at you because it's definitely not going to be in this video game like i love when video games especially companies
Starting point is 02:05:17 they have 1940 games with black people in it but they don't really show the real of what went down back in the day like imagine if captain america just came out said a hard er when talking about the black uh the black soldier you know what i'm saying like you better go you better go get that you hey like somebody mess up in a mission he's like man you always messing up stuff and then it reminds me of that rdc world meme where he's like uh what did you say blah i ain't say nothing but you know you know what you know what you know what it's one of those type videos where it's just like obviously we're not going to get an accurate representation of what it was like in the past towards black people but nor should we also put a spotlight on things that
Starting point is 02:06:04 is entertainment and things that's like a biopic, if that makes sense. So this is obviously purely for entertainment. So the accurate reflection of how America was back in the 1940s, I guess we can put it to the side for now. So anyways, with that out the way, because you know I had to get that off. I mean, any game that's set in the 1940s and that has black people in it, hey, somebody got to see it. So anyways, set in 1943,
Starting point is 02:06:33 Paris during the Nazi occupation of course and it's a spin off of the World War II narrative and it's one of those to where the gamer will be controlling characters like Captain America Black Panther but the thing with Black Panther you know is passed down the family tree so this is the grandfather of the of Tchalla the the Black Panther that we used to so this is the grandfather Black Panther And then, of course, we have Wakanda Spy, which is Gabriel Jones and Nannali. I think that's how you say. And apparently there's Howard Stark in it, which is Tony Stark's dad, of course.
Starting point is 02:07:18 And then there's the Winter Soldier, apparently supposed to be in this video game. But basically, this showcase, this right here, also Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. But basically it gives you a glimpse on how the graphics are going to look. because if you don't know, this game is developed by Skydance New Media. And with that being said, I have faith in them because the way that they put this teaser trailer out, you would have thought this was a full-blown Disney Plus show or a movie that was coming out. But no, ladies and gentlemen, is actually a video game. So the graphics are on 10, and it's one of those to where at this point,
Starting point is 02:08:01 I'm just thinking that it was one of those timeline scenarios where they couldn't make a show or movie like this fit in the original MCU timeline. So they just gave it to a video game developing studio as an idea to
Starting point is 02:08:16 develop. So develop it they have as Skydance new media showing so much promise with this teaser trailer that we're going to get into in full and it's entirety. So make sure to click analytic dream, well, type analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. But this is basically providing an overview of how the game will look.
Starting point is 02:08:44 Didn't get into any gameplay. But as far as the graphics, you see it's amazing. As you can see right here, develop using Unreal Engine 5.4. I think it's 5.4, basically offering realistic environments and character animation. And the thing about that is, it's very interesting. Because for gaming studios to offer realism in a video game, it lets you know that the budget is tremendous.
Starting point is 02:09:20 It's exponentially high. So that means the return on investment have to be at least two times that. Because realism in video games makes the budget skyrocket. That is why. most Nintendo consoles sell at a profit versus a PS5 or Xbox Series X because of games like The Last of Us, because of games like Starfield, because of games like Spider-Man, God of War, the realism aspect makes the budget skyrocket to the point where now your return on investment
Starting point is 02:09:55 isn't that much, which is why we see all of these layoffs. Even though Nintendo does have their layoffs, obviously we've seen way more. the PlayStation and Xbox side of things. So when we're getting into that aspect, you know they're going to put a significant amount into the marketing budget, because boy, are they wanting this to sell? Like, there's no way they'll put this much realism
Starting point is 02:10:23 into the graphics if they didn't think people would go out into the stores and buy it. So with this being the best of both worlds, as it being a Black Panther game and a Captain America game, I would assume this would be a heavy, stealth-like game. Now, when in the superhero
Starting point is 02:10:40 genre, stealth isn't the biggest thing you probably want to hear coming from a gameplay mechanic, but if these are espionage type missions, with the main character being Black Panther and Captain America, I would assume
Starting point is 02:10:56 and I would hope that we have some type of advanced gameplay mechanic when it comes to stealth. That doesn't have be a splinter cell? Does it have to be what other game? I don't know too many stealth games nowadays because they really don't honestly stealth games don't sell well. There's a reason why we haven't had a splinter
Starting point is 02:11:21 game, a splinter cell game and so long. But anyways, hopefully it has a significant amount of stealth because these are espionage missions. Like it would be different to see Black Panther and Captain America just running through whole tanks and armies like it was nothing, right? You would think they had some type of limitations when that came to the powers. I mean, if one thing that Wonder Woman, the movie, the first movie, not the second, because that was horrendous, but the first movie, if it was one thing that that movie showed us is that even though you're a superhero in war, you still need some type of tactical approach. You can't just run in and just beat everybody up. So that's why I bring
Starting point is 02:12:04 that up as far as having advanced stealth, gameplay mechanics. in this game. So when getting into the cast and characters, we have a talented cast, of course, as Carrie Payton is playing Azuri. Drew Morland is playing Captain America. Joel Johnstone is playing Howard Stark. And it's basically it. I don't think I'm missing anybody. Let me see. Yeah, I don't think I'm missing anybody. So what else? some other things I don't know obviously we'll get into the trailer but I want to get into some more things first so it's scheduled to release in 2025 obviously people are foreshadowing that the winter soldier will come into the mist people are having rumors that maybe wolverine may pop up which I highly doubt if a high a list character
Starting point is 02:13:02 like Wolverine will pop up but you know I guess there's a you know he has a longevity type character as well and it's one of those things to where they could showcase him as being a significant part of a mission but we never know so what else and also if you're confused by the video you're seeing right here they're showing off the the graphics so that's why it's weird animation well not animation but we are stopping points and long pauses they're basically talking about this is a whole showcase that you can look up yourself marvel 1943 rise of hydra full presentation so anyways Basically all I wanted to cover.
Starting point is 02:13:40 I think I got into everything. With this being developed by Skydance, new media, in collaboration with, oh, these are the actors right here. So Drew Morland, playing Captain America, and then Carrie Payton. Which is funny, because they're like, they're literally the face models for the characters. Like, usually sometimes I feel like the voice,
Starting point is 02:14:02 the people who voice characters, like it doesn't always look like them because of reasons. Like, maybe you want it to look like, closer to a certain callback to wherever that game is set. But it seems like they went like legit face models off of these people.
Starting point is 02:14:19 So these people are like low key actors. Like these are little like actors into the video game. I wonder how that works as far as like movie, TV shows and video games. Like if you use my likeness, like my entire like this, like my voice, my face. At that point like goodness,
Starting point is 02:14:36 are you basically in a movie? So anyways, because you so many voice actors that you know the character the voicing looks nothing like them because it's only voice acting so it's interesting to see them
Starting point is 02:14:48 being just full on full blown models of the characters that are actually voice acting for so anyways let's get into a teaser trailer because that is the main thing I wanted to get into so I may pause it a little bit
Starting point is 02:15:04 obviously probably not too much because it's pretty self-explanatory and the trailer is fire, so I don't want to step on a trailer too much. Anyways, let's get into Marvel 1943 Rise of Hydra story trailer right now. They're combing the streets, searching house to house. If they arrest you two, they will take you to their headquarters, and you will not return. I'm more concerned with a six-foot cat man who's got claws that can cut through vibranium alloy. By my count, that makes two super soldiers loose in Paris.
Starting point is 02:15:56 Three, counting you. And that's too, too many. I'll be there before the sun rises, before the Germans, before that American. The eye of force has been found. I'm not going to lie, too. Like, look at these phase models. Like, goodness. Like, it literally looks like a TV show or movie.
Starting point is 02:16:20 And this is a video game. Before the Germans. Like, this looks so real. Like, what in the, like, imagine the budget for funding the type of graphics. what i'm saying like the return on investment has to be there and best believe they're going to market this to the upteenth degree like i think they said 2025 for a reason they're going to keep marketing this video game until some statistic comes back and say we're going to get a two-time revert return on our investment because i don't think it's hard for me to believe they're
Starting point is 02:16:56 going to let this game flop it's almost like cd project red with cyberpunk those graphics were so out of this world during that time that I believe that's the reason they kept going back and putting updates, DOC patches to the point where people was like, you know what, this was a great game. Like, I think that's how Skydance is going to treat this game because there's no way you can let a budget like this fail because this is, these graphics, these graphics are ridiculous. This. And that American, the eye of force has been found.
Starting point is 02:17:32 Just it did you. When am I not? It's better. And that's what makes me believe that they have to have advanced stealth gameplay mechanics in this game. Because look at this. Like, obviously that's the stealth take it down. And then that's a double stealth take down. And it seems like he came from the rooftop.
Starting point is 02:18:08 So I wouldn't be surprised if the gameplay loop is basically going from camp to camp, taking people out in some. stealthy ways, right? So I think that's the most important factor in the gameplay loop is that is the stealth mechanic fire? I would say Batman Arkham is one of those where the stealth mechanic was perfected in the superhero game. They need to heavily borrow from that. Like people are, a lot of people are comparing this game to Insomnia,
Starting point is 02:18:41 Spider-Man talking about like what they can, you know, game or a gar-a-old. what they can pull from that video game as far as mechanics, I think it's very little. The game you need to look at is Splinter Cell and Batman Arkham as far as stealth mechanics and how to make stealth fun in the game. Because whether or not Splinter Cell had great sales is debatable. But what is to be said and to be stated is that Splinter Cell has some of the best stealth mechanics I've ever seen in a video game.
Starting point is 02:19:14 So that's what I would say. Definitely needs to be heavy emphasis on stealth in this game. It's better if I tackle this one alone. You may encounter some obstacles. That won't be a problem. Our cat friend is definitely here too. By the look of things, he's not very far ahead. The American boy is right on your heels.
Starting point is 02:19:39 Who to hell are you? If you wanted us dead, we be dead. So what do you want? Ansus. Stay out of my way. I do not take orders from anyone. I don't have time for this. Neither do I.
Starting point is 02:20:04 That's fire. That's complete fire. The only thing about this is that it's a video game so that you have to keep in mind that the gameplay loop has to be superior. Because no matter how great the story is, the gameplay loop has to be there. So that's the only hesitancy. I have and champion this game because by the looks of it, story and graphics are already amazing. The gameplay loop has to be, I would say it could be just a 7 out of 10. It just can't be atrocious. Like if it comes out and there's a 4 out of 10, people like, oh, it's janky,
Starting point is 02:20:54 can't get from this to that without it crashing. Like, that's what's going to ruin this game. Gameplay loop has to be not even perfect. Like I said, 7 out of 10 is where they can literally slipped to. But anything below that and people are going to clown this game to the moon and back. But also like I kept reiterating, but throughout this entire segment, stealth mechanics have to be
Starting point is 02:21:20 a heavy emphasis for the gameplay loop. Totally based off the setting and how they're going about the missions. I mean, it's based in World War II. So it's not like you're going to win the World War just by beating everything up and jumping from camp to camp. Like, hopefully is more stealth aspect.
Starting point is 02:21:40 But what else? Yeah, so that's basically it. Release date windows set for 2025. The setting for the actual game is set in 1943, Paris, mind you, during Nazi occupation. And it's a spin off of the World War II narrative. Main characters are Captain America and Black Panther. So if that's not fire, if that does intrigue,
Starting point is 02:22:07 You day. When it comes to Marvel, I don't know what else will. So anyways, click my link sharing my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Marvel 1943 rise of Hydra? And also, what are you most looking forward to when this video game eventually comes out? It's time to get into a game that has definitely impacted the masses in a way that usually you don't see from the competition as far as the outstanding game having such a dominance after a power world has been released after a Hell Divers 2 is released.
Starting point is 02:22:55 You would think that is harder to crack into just the top tier selling games when those games are already having a lot of people consumed in this immersive world, right? So with Dragon Dogmas 2 developed by Capcom directed by
Starting point is 02:23:18 Hideaki Itasuno, hopefully I said that right, I don't know, I'll probably mess that all the way up. But the development process for this game took about five years. That's why I highlighted the developers and things of that nature. It's out on all platforms currently, but the biggest thing what that is the sales for this game is tremendous top selling game currently on playstation top selling game currently on xbox
Starting point is 02:23:50 and as far as pc is top 10 with 72,000 players currently with the overall peak being let me see where i can find it yeah with the overall well this This is a 24-hour peak being 131,000. So when you get into that, Dragon Dogma, Dragon's Dogma 2 obviously isn't just the biggest game ever. As Power World, Hell Divers 2. I mean, Hell Divers 2 is still top 4 as far as bestselling on PC. Now, as far as Power World, one could argue. that that game is no longer as prevalent as it once was i mean looking at the overall all-time statistics is cemented in stone as far as having one of the greatest releases out the gate ever
Starting point is 02:24:54 but now we transition into who's impacting the charts currently and i'm sorry to tell power fans but y'all game is just nowhere to be found so i don't think that's the slight in Power World as they currently still have 33,000 current. But seeing how Dragon's Dogma has 71,000 current, Hell Divers 2 has 155,000 current, is one of those to where people are playing that game more often than Power World, which is okay, because of course we came out the gate saying it was the Pokemon killer, you know what I mean? But, hey, at some point they're going to have to come back and hopefully they can drive the hype back into the game like it once was but now it seems like everybody's moved on and what has or what is one of the games
Starting point is 02:25:51 where everybody's moved on to of course the game right here dragons dogma too which if you want to see some gameplay go to analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio but anyways the biggest thing about this game is that it's an original story of course you're cursed by a great dragon, a rising chosen to face the dragon, involves a party of heroes, ponds, and geopolitical conflicts. Basically, the pawns you can have in this game, I think, is the biggest X factor in the excitement that people have. I mean, I literally saw somebody having a whole Kanye and, yes, Kanye West pawn in this game. If you don't believe me, hold on, let me make sure if I can pull this up, because I didn't even think I was going to have to pull this up. Because I forgot about this.
Starting point is 02:26:47 Dragons, Dogma, too. Because there's so many different creative options they give you in making your character in Dragon's Dogma, that now, when somebody comes with a whole rendition of Kanye West, you can actually use him as a part of your party in the game. And this is what he looks like. Shout out to TBA, you know, the goat of content creation. But here is him showcasing basically a pawn and Kanye West. And the way that it works is it's like pawn codes for these specific ponds that people create. So he was just trying to find out the pawn code for this specific one as obviously somebody made a perfect rendition of Kanye West.
Starting point is 02:27:33 But there's like Taylor Swift in the game. There's Cratos in the game. There's all type of customizable options. And I don't know if that's just the PC port of the game because you know, of course, whenever you get into PC, you have more liberties you can take when you're creating certain things because you can upload different mods and things of that nature. But that is also the exciting factor as now people can have any pawn they want a part of the party as they go through the world. And the story is basically you fighting with a party at all times. It's a party of heroes fighting at all times going throughout the, um, with, it's a bitter black aisles and confronting powerful monsters, basically revealing the fate of past a rise and turn monsters.
Starting point is 02:28:32 And basically, um, there is a... ending but you know I don't want to spoil it and do I say there is an ending meaning that just like multiple paths obviously there's like two paths but I'm not trying to spoil it um the game is very immersive five years of development is showing all throughout the world so what I want to get into it's just some of the things that a lot of people are okay okay focusing on as Dragon's Dogma 2 has its share of controversy like in the other game. Apparently, the fast travel mechanic is a micro-transaction. But the way that you can fast travel in the game can obviously be, well, not obviously,
Starting point is 02:29:33 because people won't be upset. But you can unlock the fast travel mechanic by playing the game. gaining certain items that allow you to fast travel. But because of the fast travel mechanic being a micro transaction, has a lot of people up in arms, which I'm not mad at, you know. If you can earn something in game, but it's also a micro transaction, I'm not mad at people pointing out the micro transaction because why is it there in the first place if you can get it or earn it in game.
Starting point is 02:30:08 maybe you're trying to capitalize off of people not wanting to play the game and buy the micro-transaction, which is the fast travel. And so to that, I say, if you haven't played the game, it's only so much vitri-all you can have towards a video game for having micro-transactions. But if you have played the game, it seems like those people aren't really upset with the micro-transactions because there's, because they're easily attainable by playing the game. So the controversy with Dragon's Dogma 2 that released March 22nd, so it's still a fresh, you know, brand new game in retrospect, is seemingly only coming from people who haven't played a game, which is interesting.
Starting point is 02:31:02 Because it seems like the micro-transactions was there in the first place for people who don't really want to play the game, to gain certain perks, right? So that's the biggest thing I wanted to touch on. Nothing really too much you get into. At the end of the day, Dragon's Dogma is selling tremendously.
Starting point is 02:31:23 You know, granted, it just came out like, what, eight, well, seven, eight days ago. But with it being in top 10 of PlayStation, it being top 10, Xbox, not even top 10, number one at Xbox, number one on PlayStation, top 10 on PC, Steam charts. It's one of those impacting games out the gate. And I don't want a dog on any other games.
Starting point is 02:31:49 We may be touching out in this episode. But let's say some other games came out around the same time and seems to be struggling to sell as well as a Dragon's Dogma is doing right now. Shout out to the Final Fantasy in Rise of Ronan. fans out there but hey i said i wasn't going to say any names you know what i'm saying i didn't said a name i'm messy ain't i anyways uh click my link to me my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about dragon dogmas two success so far and if you've played the game what is your favorite aspect about dragons dogma too now before we get into the premise of this
Starting point is 02:32:36 video game we have to watch the official announcement trailer that drop too much months ago because if I get into the details, I don't think this trailer will hit as hard because you already know what's about to happen. So of course, let's watch this together because, as always, Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. So we're going to go through this journey together. Of course, I've already seen it. But I think it'll hit hard for y'all, if y'all, if this is the first time you've ever heard about this video game. So let's Without further ado, let's get into the official announcement trailer of Zucosis. The job is not difficult. You have nothing to worry about.
Starting point is 02:34:48 Not if we watched the official announcement trailer, y'all are probably wondering, what in the world did I just watch? Which, of course, I am here to explain to you. So basically, Zucosis, which is like an actual thing, you know, I had a research and actually realize that it's a whole definition out there based on this word like at first I was just thinking there was some creative name they came up with for a horror game right but zucosis is basically a mental disorder that affects captive animals especially large mammals due to their confinement in artificial environments and it manifests in abnormal and often unhealthy physical behavior such as pacing, rocking, self-mutation, or stereotypy?
Starting point is 02:35:45 Stereotype? I don't know what that is. The term zucosis is a combination of the words zoo and psychosis indicating the negative impact of captivity on the mental well-being of animals. But now that I got that definition out of the way, First thing you need to know is of course this is a fantasy game. So they've taken some liberties to the whole mutation aspect. Because this is inherently a body cam horror simulation game
Starting point is 02:36:19 where players act as a zookeeper encountering infected animals in a zoo. Don't ask me how I find my gaming information, but just know that when this trailer came across my feed, I watched it. And I honestly despise horror, the horror genre. Everything about horror, I despise it, right? So much imagery that they use sometimes that's just unsettling for me, that I just try to stay away from the entire genre.
Starting point is 02:36:53 So why am I encapsulated by this video game? It reminds me of when I used to watch Market Plyer play Five Nights at Freddy's. I despise the horror genre. I'm going to keep reminding you that. But for some reason, I kept finding myself watching playthroughs of Five Nights at Freddy's time and time again by market players, simply for the fact that I wasn't captivated by the whole setting and a unique take on the horror genre. And that is the same exact sentiments that I have for this game right here. Because, of course, it's expected to launch on PC in quarter two of 2024. for um i think we received this is from two months ago as far as this trailer i do have a more
Starting point is 02:37:38 updated trailer that was going to get into but i don't know let me skip to the end i don't know if that has a release date um it doesn't seem like it has a release date okay so yeah so basically it's just quarter two and the reason why i'm not playing that video yet is because i want to keep uh just talking about the overall um information about the game so all we know is that it's coming out on PC via Steam and quarter to 2024 and the developers Clippers head
Starting point is 02:38:11 Clippers head is funny Clapper heads no ditty goodness known for titles like Sparky Marky and Hello Neighbor Diaries So as you can probably already tell it's a horror game It's definitely playing off of the horror aspect
Starting point is 02:38:28 A lot of situations that you're going to be finding yourself into will be very unsettling to say the least I mean, you interact with a lot of animals, but then you realize these are not your everyday zoo animals as they are infected by this quote unquote mutation, which you see is shown throughout the trailer. So the basis of the game is that the players decide the impact of the outcome of the story and determine survival based on how you take care of these animals. There's a whole aspect of taking care of the animals, and that's when we're going to get into the next trailer. because right here basically i'm going to jump around i'm not going to play the whole thing um you take so right here okay so this list is basically how you take care of the animals and there's a whole
Starting point is 02:39:19 mutation which they show right over one of the animals start to mutate i'm trying to see where i can find it yeah right here okay so he's taking basically this trailer that which is the newest trailer they're showing how you're supposed to take care of the animals and then one of the animals you know you get to um you get to too late so basically when you get to that animal it's already too late and it starts to mutate and here you can see what happens after so he's taking care of the animals and then look one of them is already starting to mutate which means you know he was running a little bit behind I need to hurry up. So now he goes to get the little gun.
Starting point is 02:40:11 And so this is what I'm thinking changes them back into regular animals, of course. But then by that time, as you can tell, it's already up. It's up and it's stuck, like Hardy B said. So that's basically the whole premise of it. I think this is completely a genius idea. I don't know how much it's going to sell, of course, because it's only coming out on PC. not to say PC games don't sell well because of course I mean if you look at the PC charts the top games in the world that's also impacting the consoles are also on the Steam platform as far as it being like CounterStrike 2 Dota 2 Hell Divers 2 has 203,000 players on Steam alone so of course if you're a PC game you can thrive when it comes to numbers but the biggest thing for me is
Starting point is 02:41:10 is the genre aspect of this game i think that's going to take it to a whole other level because i don't know what it is it's some type of stat out there by scientists that they put out how you burn more calories watching horror content or playing jr basically you burn calories i don't you have to look it up i'm no doctor but that's what i've heard multiple times so um hopefully i covered the whole entire aspect of the game but if not you know i mean all you need to know is that is that basically the story is players tending to infected animals while uncovering the cause of the outbreak and finding a cure i don't know about y'all and once again i'm gonna keep reminding you i do not like the horror genre but this plot is very interesting in my opinion so what else it's a body cam
Starting point is 02:42:00 perspective of course so that plays on the horror aspect as it's the first person body cam perspective enhancing the immersion and then the other thing that intrigued me because as a mass effect fan whenever games give you the decision to determine the outcome i'm automatically more intrigued so the way that zucosis lets players decide to impact the outcome of the story and determine survival i think that's a big aspect as far as like how each play through can be completely unique like imagine you're just the worst zookeeper imaginable you're probably going to end up dying pretty early in this game because as you can tell by the trailer it doesn't really seem like you can defend yourself once they go full mutation besides this uh gun right here that you pull out but um as far as the turn
Starting point is 02:42:52 them back to regular animals but besides that i do think that overall i'm gonna go back to the launch trailer yeah i like the launch trailer the most i don't know why but it just i like the way it uh caught me as far as my attention. Like games with creative drive, I think is very intriguing because obviously you can just go and make a second Call of Duty or a second sports game. But this is a spin off of a zucosis premise that I think has never been done like this. Like obviously some gamer is going to be out there and maybe say some random game that nobody heard about or maybe they have heard about it i'm just ignorant to this uh genre but as far as the
Starting point is 02:43:38 the um i mean i guess you could say Jurassic Park maybe but i think this is more of a mutated um and regular animals which Jurassic Park i think the whole thing about that was they was already like mutated and they was just advanced animals or dinosaurs and he was just taking care of them this one you're trying to keep them as regular animals before they mutate and then they just get out of hand so um to stay up to date with this of course clap her heads is the development studio so to follow them um i would just probably just follow this youtube account right here that's that's how i'm following them as far as how i get my information about the different trailers and stuff because as you can see they only have three trailers out they have the official announcement trailer which came
Starting point is 02:44:28 out two months ago they have the official reveal trailer which came out like um 11 days ago so it's hard for me to read that home let me just zoom in that that would probably help and then we have uh zucosa's official gameplay to use the trailer that we're watching right now so this just came out not too long ago so um what else was something else i want let me get at i think that was basically it so yeah this is the uh one of the few horror games that's ever capturing my attention as far as it actually being intriguing as far as the setting, the overall plot, and just how the premise set is just bound to have so many hilarious moments from whoever plays this. And honestly, I can't wait to watch somebody play it because I'm not playing it.
Starting point is 02:45:17 Like, I don't, I don't dislike this game because of the premise, but still, I'm not trying to go out and play it. Like, nah, I still have a heavy disdain for the whole genre. of horror so but I will be giving this a game of watch so whoever is out there playing that I enjoyed the play through I'll probably be sitting through that one just like I did for mark a player with a fine nice or Freddy's so not to drag this on too long that's basically it there's no confirmed release date it's coming out on PC though I would it I would assume it will also come out on consoles but you never know nowadays so with that being said
Starting point is 02:45:56 click my link to your my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you you think about zoocoses as a game as a body cam horror simulation game where you play as a zoo zookeeper and what is the most intriguing aspect of it for you now while it might be the rise of ronin that we're getting into especially when it comes to overall gameplay mechanics it is definitely the fall of sales that would be emphasized because for this to be a PlayStation exclusive and it to have an opening week of not even being on the top 10 as far as games in your country on PlayStation 5 when it's a literal PlayStation 5 exclusive. It's just insane. And I don't want to hear about top 10s being mostly taken up by sports and shooting games because Dragons Doggans,
Starting point is 02:47:05 two that just came out it's still in the top 10 and hell divers two is still in the top 10 and Dragon's dogma just came out honestly I think it may have came out the same time as Rise of Ronan so
Starting point is 02:47:21 there's really no excuse for the sales for Rise of Ronan because Rise of Ronan is a PlayStation 5 exclusive and the reason why I keep reiterating that is because that's a big factor when you get into the overall standpoint that Dragon's Dogma 2 is also out on other platforms so that means it's a spread of wealth
Starting point is 02:47:46 and it's still outperforming you on a concert that you're exclusively on so anyways this is not just the trash rise of Ronan is not to dog pile Rise of Ronan is really to just get the understanding on where it stands in the grand scheme of things when it comes to its peers. But as far as like the actual quality and as far as talking about what makes it stand out amongst the rest, that is also what we're going to get into because it would just be, it would be messed up for me to just talk about how Razor Ronan is just completely having a downward spiral when it comes to sales uh actual sales because the sales projections they was trying to have over five million but at this point we can probably just put that to bed that's not
Starting point is 02:48:46 going to happen at any point in time i mean literally i looked at dragon dogmas to sales and there's number one on xbox that's the last thing i was looking up i was looking at the xbox platform because i think princess peach is exclusively on nintendo so it's hard to to compare those sales with other games but guess what i actually found something that i was able to compare all the sales so princess peach is basically the fourth most played game as far as the week ending sales charts in uh march 30th 2024 you have EA sports of course hoggwards legacy at number two south park and number three princess peach at number four dragons dogma two at number five mario car eight at uh Lux at number six.
Starting point is 02:49:33 Hell Divers 2 at number seven. Prince of Persia, which is, you know, I'm so glad that Prince of Persia still hasn't been like completely just overshadowed by all these new game releases because that game is amazing. And if you want to listen to my review of that game, Analytic Dreams,
Starting point is 02:49:49 Prince of Persian, and it should pop up. Anyways, that came in at number 8. And reminder, this is for the week ending 30th, March 2024th sales charts. it takes two at number nine which is a classic by the way and then super mario bros wonder at number 10 so where is rise of ronan the world may never know but anyways besides that let's get into actual
Starting point is 02:50:15 quality of the game because not everybody cares about sales some people actually just wonder is the game good or not and from looking at the review roundups from looking at personal people that I go to as far as like whenever they play a game, I will say that the overall consensus is that it's a solid game. It's not perfect, but it's definitely one of those games that you can play and you can obviously tell
Starting point is 02:50:47 that this is a pretty solid game. Like it's a pretty above average game. Because of the combat, because of the, the absence of mindless button mashing that sometimes you fall into as far as being the action game. This game doesn't have that. It's more calculated and you have to have stamina management. Basically, you know, it's harder to master this game than just a regular action fighting game, if that makes sense, especially in the action samurai genre.
Starting point is 02:51:26 So whenever I'm getting into some of the stealth and range combat, mechanics such as avoiding enemies and you know things of that nature that all samurai go through as far as taking them out quietly will take an opposition out quietly and opting for a rifle whenever you want like range attacks and stealth kills from long range things of that nature some of the exploration and climbing they say that you use grappling hook and glider for access and And you can use alternative routes and grapple points to reach seemingly inaccessible areas. Translation, they reward you for exploring the map, which is definitely one of those prime details that I think makes every open world or semi-open world game amazing.
Starting point is 02:52:20 The attention to detail to know that if somebody chose to go a certain path rather than the beaten path, maybe they get a little bit more reward. or if not more another unique reward for going down that alternative path so with that being said the game overview is just completely amazing everybody is saying that it's a solid game i mean game spot gave it well he probably can't start with that one that's not amazing um i gn okay the game solid right i'm not trying to trash this game it's a solid game i gn gave it a 7 out of 10 basically saying that razoron rosa ronan is excellent when it has the courage to be itself and lean into its challenging rewarding fighting too often however it feels stuck see if i can pull this up i had to zoom in you know i can't read anyways um it feels stuck in indecision torn between what it wants to be and what
Starting point is 02:53:28 it feels it's expected to be and not even the best samurai can overcome that so they you know they had a little bar i guess or whatever about uh for the review game spy also gave this game a seven at ten saying it's not without some flaws but i finished rise of ron with much more left to do and even after 50 hours which is a lot to put into a game i want to head back to see what i'd miss an attempt to change history the parts of the game that work more than balance out is weaker elements i don't even know what that means and while it took a while it took a while it took a while to find the rhythm of rise of ron in combat is speed complex bro this game solid all right they say in a bunch of
Starting point is 02:54:15 word salad everybody i've heard as far as the consensus has said this game is nothing mind-blowing but it's not trash it's not bad it's not even average it's a little bit above average obviously some of the scores i read off from the premier outlets gave it a seven out of ten but a lot of other outlets gave it an eight out of ten. Well, I've seen a lot of eight out of tens as far as a four out of five things of that nature. So it's not terrible, but it's definitely not going to blow you out of the water. And, you know, I mean, I guess that reflects in the sales because if you're not blowing people out of water when it comes to gameplay mechanics, can you really try to have an ambitious sales
Starting point is 02:54:52 target of five million copies that this point just is impossible to achieve? I mean, think about it. Spider-Man, when it first came out, that's. the mark that it reached. It reached around 5 million. I think it surpassed it like a week or two into its release cycle. But, um, so that is like plausible by PlayStation only game, but it took Spider-Man to accomplish that. Obviously, God of War accomplished that too, but we're talking about the past two years, right? Because when the Ragnarok come out, like 20, 21, 22, I forget when Ragnar came out. But anyways, that had great sales as well. But Rise of Ronan is definitely going to be
Starting point is 02:55:34 known on the sales side of just being the fall from grace as a lot of people just labeled it average in one of those things that there's other games, a lot of other games that did this a lot better. Like Ghost of Tashima, you have Odden Ring, of course, then you have who else I think it's basically I mean there's a lot of other samurai games Assassin Creed I mean certain Assassin Creed
Starting point is 02:56:10 does this better it's just a lot of other games that you could play besides this that gives you the same element of a samurai setting but it's just much better and the game I'll probably pinpoint is definitely goes to Tashima
Starting point is 02:56:24 which is kind of hard to compare that to that game because that's literally or that was the game of the year for that year it came out and let's just say this game probably won't achieve the same feat or reach the same heights when it comes to recognition and critical acclaim so anyways this is a PS5 exclusive standard deluxe editions are available offering additional content in the deluxe edition of course and what else somebody said they witnessed a 45% discount shortly after release at Walmart but i don't know if there's a joke or not because April 4th did just pass so
Starting point is 02:57:06 yeah that's basically it nothing too much you get into at the end of day if you want to play a solid samurai game riser running is for you but if you're looking for a game that's going to be something you could talk about with a lot of other gamers more than likely they even picked this game up
Starting point is 02:57:24 and they probably own a PlayStation as well so that being said click my link tree in my bio let me know one of my social medias What do you think about Razoron and its solid quality, in it being a solid quality game, but its sales just completely diminishing in what the comparisons were as far as projections. Now, say it ain't so. Cardi fans, how are we feeling?
Starting point is 02:57:58 I mean, your favorite artist, your favorite musician, straight up lied to your face once again. bamboozled, labragasted, and completely confused you are to quote my man Yoda. Because let me tell you something. That man got his ego inflated
Starting point is 02:58:20 by hopping on not one, not two, not three. That man was like LeBron. He was like not one, not two, not three before bandwagons in the span of two years. I mean, talking about a weekend assist with popular talk about a carnival assist with Kanye West type expedive
Starting point is 02:58:47 I can't say that because the PG podcast with future metro booming and what was the track with with Travis Scott I forget the track with number uh I forget what that was called hold up okay I got to look this up Travis Scott Playboy Cardi. Ah, here we go. Yeah, I can't even. Travis, God. It's hard to even look up.
Starting point is 02:59:23 It's hard to look up Cardi on Spotify. It was like, he don't drop here. He dropped over there on YouTube and stuff. He don't drop over here where you can actually analyze the data and see how he compares to his peers, right? The song, Fiend. I don't even know how I forgot that one. That one was actually pretty good.
Starting point is 02:59:40 But once again, another wave writer who is Playboy. bricardy you know very inflating of his ego to the point where now he believes he can just straight up spit in his fans face hypothetically well more of a hyperbole right because playbic cardi just canceled his highly anticipated tour that the antagonist tour initially scheduled for 23 that's been going up until this year when there has been rescheduled for this year but it has been canceled and of course because he don't care about y'all playbroardy fans just to make it specific the cancellation was of course abrupt no type of message from playbacardi himself saying he was sorry any type of remorse none of that of course because if somebody doesn't care
Starting point is 03:00:36 about you why would they give you that satisfaction of an apology right So the refunds for tickets will have to be processed because legally they have to. But on the flip side, they're giving you the option that you can just retain your ticket, just in hopes of a future revival of the tour. Boy, hey, he loves scamming his artists, don't he? Like, y'all made all the sense in the world when y'all was talk about why Aidan Ross should not do a second stream with Playb Ricardy. But here you are getting scammed out of, 300 to a thousand dollars probably just to see a man walk across the stage and bumble right imagine
Starting point is 03:01:22 you in a studio and somebody like hey i need somebody on my track you hop on that track and you get the mumbling like you're a two-year-old like you just came out the womb you know when drake said when people send their verses back in his uh terrible just like a two-year-old which was a double entendre because a two-year-old's terrible but also the verbiage of a two year old is only at a certain level that is what playbby card is at as far as his mumbling capabilities but because of the waves he's been able to to ride i mean literally the the iconic most iconic artists in history that he's been wave riding if you don't believe me rich the kid was also on carnival so what are you going to say about that rich the kid is now on the level of a playboy
Starting point is 03:02:11 Ricardy so basically trying to implicate and showcase how much wave riding this man has been doing from the weekend to Travis Scott to Kanye West to future this is just insane wave riding I would call it something else but this is a PG podcast so we're not going to do that but when it came time to do it himself to build up the anticipation himself to put out at least one single for the promised album that he came forth and said it was coming he said he was putting out an album that was coming out this year and now where is the single it's all on youtube because he doesn't want to drop on spotify because it's going to completely flop and god knows that whenever he drops the album it's going to straight up flop so now people are just going to focus on him being on one of the best
Starting point is 03:02:57 feature runs in 2024 when ultimately that's just disguised as straight up wave riding that man is riding every single popular art, not even popular artists, like the top of the, the cream of the crop artist. He's riding the wave to a point where now, when it comes to stand on his own, this is what he does to y'all. Cancels his tour. Y'all can't see your favorite artist. His ego is inflated through the roof. He believes that he's on a certain status now that he has all these tracks charting in the top five, top ten, simply because he was riding another popular artist wave. But, you know, Obviously, I'm not going to say Playbucardi isn't popular, but it's like the germane effect. Whenever people put you on the level that I look at from an analytical and objective standpoint,
Starting point is 03:03:50 I'm just like, it just makes no sense why you're compared to these specific people when the quality is not there. And of course, the numbers aren't there. I mean, if we go through Playboy Cardi's first week sales, compare them to a Kanye future the weekend. You would realize why I keep calling this man a wave rider. because he knows to get to those numbers, he has to be associated with that crowd. But whatever, maybe I'm just hating, and maybe when he drops his album,
Starting point is 03:04:17 it's going to do phenomenal numbers, right? Of course not, because he just canceled his tour, and as far as his album, I mean, only God knows when that's going to come out. He said he was putting out an album this year, but guess what? Of course. Yeah, it's not going to come out.
Starting point is 03:04:33 It's silence. And he's going to be on his mysterious tip, even though he canceled a whole tour for his fans. that was wanting to come out to see him in person. But hey, at the end of day, Playboy Cardi fans have to speak up for themselves. If they're not going to do it, then somebody just has to lay the facts out in front of you and let you go on from there. Because if these facts can't save you, then I don't know what can or what will.
Starting point is 03:04:59 So anyways, click my link to your bio. Let me know in one of my social medias. What do you think about Playboy Carty completely abandoning his fans after? canceling his anticipated antagonist tour and if you're a play break hardy fan just one simple simple question why i want to start off by saying analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio now lizzo be eating the instagram account posted this for the world to see of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet period all I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it but I'm starting to feel like the world doesn't want me in it I'm constantly up against lies being told about me for clout and views
Starting point is 03:06:19 being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look somebody in the comments in all caps said we don't care I'm not
Starting point is 03:06:44 yo this is her Instagram why are they so mean all right hold of I got to finish I got to finish my character being picked apart by people who don't know me and disrespecting my name. I didn't sign up for this expedive. I quit.
Starting point is 03:07:05 Peace-a-o-oji. Now why y'all do that to Lizzo, man? Like, honestly, why in the world would y'all lead her to the point that she posts to her Lizzo be eating IG account saying that she is quitting simply for her being tired of criticism. Now, the I quit statement obviously is to explain why she doesn't want any negative attention throwing her direction. But the I quit is not because of music, which she ended up clarifying in the upcoming, or no, in a subsequent video. Here we go right here. Welcome to my Yiddie Hall. Uh-oh. Wrong one. Wrong one. Is this one.
Starting point is 03:08:00 I want to make this video because I just need to clarify. When I say I quit, I mean, I quit giving any negative energy attention. What I'm not going to quit is the joy of my life, which is making music, which is connecting to people. Talk to him. Because I know I'm not alone. Preach. In no way, shape or form. Talk to him.
Starting point is 03:08:27 Past. Am I the only person who has experienced. that negative voice that seems to be louder than the positive. If I can just give one person the inspiration or motivation to stand up for themselves and say they quit letting negative people win, negative comments win, then I've done even more than I could have hoped for. With that being said, I'm going to keep moving forward.
Starting point is 03:08:59 to keep moving forward. I'm going to keep me. Once again, I just want to say thank you. The love that I've received who means more than you know. I want to make this video because I just need to... All right, so basically that's Lizzo coming back
Starting point is 03:09:18 to let y'all know that she's not talking about her quitting music. It was just all of that attention she was giving negative energy. She's quitting that aspect. So, well, she's quitting in that aspect. So I just want y'all know, there's a lawsuit that you can look up for yourself, but I'm not going to say that's why this whole fiasco is going about. But there is a prominent lawyer on the case for a lot of Lizzo's dancers that you can look up for yourself.
Starting point is 03:09:49 I would give it to you, but honestly, it's pretty straightforward in why Lizzo would take this approach because basically three of her dancers filed a lot. lawsuit claiming alleged sexual harassment weight shaming let you get the gravity of of Lizzo weight shaming racial discrimination and creating a hostile work environment Lizzo has of course denied the allegations but guess what in February a judge shut shut down Lizzo's request to drop the case though some allegations were dismissed including one dancer's claims of fat shaming. And then in the update, of course, with nearly half his case dismissed 18 independent witnesses,
Starting point is 03:10:46 siding with Lizzo and no settlement on the way to get him his tasty contingency fee, Ron has started making wild personal attacks that have absolutely nothing to do with the clients who he is supposedly representing. We would humbly recommend that Ron start representing his clients and stop representing just himself. Goodness. So it seems like they line on Lizzo. From my personal perspective, that's what I'm giving you.
Starting point is 03:11:18 That is why I say this whole I quit is tied to that because the whole giving energy to negative, well, no, the whole giving attention to negative energy is the thing that Lizzo was quitting. but as far as music of course she is not quitting like literally she is the only person as of march march 30th 2024 when you know i call myself analytic dreams so we have to analyze these dreamlike numbers so as far as march 30th 2024 in the billboard hot 100 carty b and lizzo are the only female rappers I know Lizzo sings, but she also rapts sometimes.
Starting point is 03:11:59 Only female rappers to have two solo number one hits. Solo, not attached to anybody. Two solo number one hits on the Billboard Top 100. Cardi B is being Bodak Yellow and Truth Hurts. And then, no, Cardi B is being Bodak yellow. Lizzo's being Truth Hertz. And then the other one for Cardi B being up. and the other one for Lizzo being about expit of time.
Starting point is 03:12:29 So, and, you know, it's PG podcast, so I can't say the other part. Anyways, uh, that is why I would think it would be blasphemous for Lizzo to quit because obviously she's seen the highest, and I mean the highest level of success as being a, of, being a musician. I would say that being number one, especially with a hit that's long, last, lasting at least six to ten weeks in the top five is way more impactful than having a Grammy. And I will stand on that because having a number one for a long period of time, of course, what Megan the Stallion did with Hiss is remarkable, but it completely eviscerated off the charts after like two to three weeks.
Starting point is 03:13:18 So with that being said, five to ten weeks, I think it's the litmus scale to see if it's a real actual hit. Things come and go even in the gaming space. I know people don't game, but for my gamers out there who may be listening to this Lizzo coverage, this is for you. So the way that Power Whirl came up and just blew all the records out of the water as far as the 24-hour peak concurrent players,
Starting point is 03:13:42 if you look at it today, it has currently 66,000 players when it hit the peak of 2.4 million. Actually, let me see if it was 2.4. basically i'm not going to look up the exact number basically it was second behind uh pub g battleground as far as having the highest concurrent players ever and that was in the two to three millions now currently remember the game just came out not too long ago it has 66 000 people playing the game so that should just let you know on both industries something can be extremely successful out the gate but it does not mean it's going to have that longevity in the top five so anyways
Starting point is 03:14:22 that's basically it i just wanted to get into the uh the just the overall event of lizzo quitting and what that quitting was about which we now know it was basically her not giving more attention to negative energy and now she just can focus on music with that being said click my link to tree my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about lizzo's legal legal battles with former dancers and also whose side are you on with this whole lawsuit fiasco. Rapper Snoop Dog and Master P are taking on two giants in the retail world, Walmart and the post-serial company. As NBC4's Gordon Tokumatsu reports, their lawsuit is all about shelf space and connecting fans to Snoop's new cereal brand.
Starting point is 03:15:27 Now, first off, I want to say, analytic dreams video on Spotify. to get the video along with the audio because we're getting into two icon figures iconic figures in the hip-hop community and not even just the hip-hop just the transversal nature of going from hip-hop to another entertainment or another business venture and still having success not too many hip-hop artists you see nowadays being able to accomplish that that is why when the likes of a 50 cent going from music to film that is why from the likes of ludicrous when he goes from music to film or it's so many p ditty and everything he does um even you know in light of the allegations still can't take away what he's accomplished j z literally right now being the head
Starting point is 03:16:27 of entertainment for the nfl a lot of different ventures outside of the lot of hip hop i think puts you on a whole other level as far as your overall status in this uh game because now is bigger than just the genre now you're putting us on the map and whole other areas that we otherwise otherwise would have just or they would have just always just neglected us and just thought we was just dumb rappers putting words together you know because usually that's how that look at us so anyways let's get back into this whole uh fiasco basically um Snoop Dog and MasterP are suing Walmart and post-consumer brands for allegedly sabotaging their cereal brand. But before I get more into detail, let's get into the rest of the video.
Starting point is 03:17:17 Legendary rapper Snoop Dog, whose real name is Calvin Brodus via video this morning. We ain't build this brand to sell it. His statement, part of a news conference with his business partner, rapper Master P, where the two of them announced their suing cereal giant post. and retail leader Walmart. This is about minority-owned companies getting a fair share.
Starting point is 03:17:39 At issue is anecdotal video evidence from fans across the country. They've been wondering, says Attorney Ben Crump, why they can't find Snoop cereal on Walmart shelves.
Starting point is 03:17:50 And this, this is the straw that broke the camel's back because at first, you can easily say, oh, they just meant that their cereal brand isn't selling.
Starting point is 03:18:01 but when there's multiple videos like this this is just one of them they're showing multiple people are showcasing videos of the cereal wall and the cereal not being there and then to add on to that which i don't know if they're having this video but to add on to that there they were uh workers in the back showcasing how their cereal was still in the um the rapping and basically it just looked like it just came off the truck. That's how it was like packaged. It was just untouched. It seemingly was just neglected by the workers.
Starting point is 03:18:40 And that begs the question, who would be responsible to organize a sabotage like this? And it would have to be the companies at hand because if you're moving freight, right, off of a truck, obviously I forget the little things below the packages it's something very simple
Starting point is 03:19:03 but I'm just blanking on it right now anyways you use that and then you use a little machine to push under that to lift the product onto the truck why is it still on that weeks after it's unloaded
Starting point is 03:19:16 something is telling me that this is a more grandiose scheme to sabotage the cereal brand so that is why I give this some credence because at first you could just say, oh, they're just complaining. But then when you see the videos of the behind the scenes and the consumers,
Starting point is 03:19:33 those are customers right there. So if the customers are so anticipating or are so in one of the product that they're now videoing and complaining that is not there leading to people who actually work for certain stores showcases how that cereal brand is just left in the package off the freight truck and left alone, Like at that point, that is why I think they have a pretty legitimate case because without that video evidence, you know, Walmart, they got lawyers and money for days. And even with the video evidence, you never know how it will go. But anyways, let's keep going on in the video.
Starting point is 03:20:12 At dozens of Walmarts all around America, everybody went saying, where Snoop cereal? In the retail game, product placement is very important. Where is it in the store and who can see it? That shelf space and any supermarket versus worth millions and is very, very limited. But in the video, crumple alleges that Snoops, fruity hoops, cinnamon toasties, and others are being hidden from customers sitting on. I don't know why in the world blanking on it because I used to work in receiving. Like one of my jobs was being a receiver. I was like, why am I blanking on something I've always used to do?
Starting point is 03:20:51 But when you move product off of a truck, you know, there's certain things that's bigger, right? that's on a palette. They have so much cereal that they put it on a palette. Like that should let you know. Like you only put things on a palette that's heavy and hard to move. So that way, when it's on a palette, you can use a little machine to scoop under the, well, scoop through the palette to lift the heavy product. Why is a bunch of cereal boxes on a palette? At that point, it's like, you're just letting it stock up to the point.
Starting point is 03:21:21 And that's what I'm saying. It's like organized sabotage to the point where now, oh, they are sure. showing the behind the scenes. Okay, so maybe you will see what I'm talking about. On stuck room shelves. Once again, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. In the back of the stores while post brands and others remain on display out front. This one got my name on me when you can't find it. Post had a- Remain on display shelves in the back of the stores while post brands and others remain on display.
Starting point is 03:21:54 That is ridiculous. That is actually ridiculous. So this type of video that is why i think they have a case without this there's no case whatsoever anyways let's keep on out front this one got my name on you can't find post had an agreement with master p uh to make sure that snoop syria got on the shelves why master p always be looking like he confused master p be up there looking like it's like every press conference that meant up there looking like what we doing like he'd be up there looking like why am i here like i ain't trying to accuse him of no Joe Biden down syndrome but it just looked like that man a little confused up there at what the purpose is you know what I mean today Crump filed a lawsuit on behalf of the rappers
Starting point is 03:22:42 among their claims against Walmart and post breach of contract fraud collusion and conspiracy we asked him though why Walmart would hide a product that could potentially make millions of dollars for the retail chain that's not for us to figure out all we know is what we know is what we see. Late today, Walmart responded to NBC4's request for comments, saying in part, many factors affect the sales of any given product, including consumer demand, seasonality, and price, to name a few. We will respond as appropriate with the court once we're served with a complaint. Post-consumer brands also responded, saying they were excited to partner with Brodus Foods and made substantial investments in the business. But we were equally disappointed,
Starting point is 03:23:26 they say that consumer demand did not meet expectations in westchester gordon togumatsu nbccc4 news snoop dog and master p well there you have it walmart and posts just absolutely copping please because they've been caught red-handed because at first when i first was like sent this story by my dad my dad's the one who put me on this story so that's how you know how big is getting because sometimes you know certain And certain bubbles exist to where, you know, it doesn't really reach everybody. But when my dad sent me this story and I looked at it, I was like, this is a big deal. Like you have a whole brand that consumers want. And to the point where they're videoing themselves not being able to even buy the brand.
Starting point is 03:24:15 And to add on to that, now you have people back in the receiving department videoing all type of product. So it's so much evidence to where you're actually sabotaging another black man's brand. And, you know, we don't want to bring race into it, but we got to start to call it what it is. Would it still have the same type of sabotage if it wasn't two black entrepreneurs, two black entrepreneurs, you know? I think not. I think two black entrepreneurs, especially rappers who used to be rappers, they're going to be treated a certain way when it comes to elevating their different ventures in business and talk to in a certain way that maybe they wouldn't talk to their own kind that's what i would say
Starting point is 03:25:07 and then to have this type of sabotage happen to a brand that seemingly was doing well i mean if you look at their uh social medias because obviously you know once you move to a supermarket that means like it is moving enough units to even make that makes sense like no supermarket is going to take a product that's selling because now it's just sitting on their shelves where another product that was selling independently could be on there to sell globally to the masses right it's basically like a major think of Walmart like a major label no major label artist is out here signing any signing indie artists who have two monthly listeners right they're signing people who already built a table for themselves is already moving their own uh distribution as far as like uh tune core
Starting point is 03:25:54 things of that nature like they already have the own motion and then the major label adds on top of that that is what walmart is for snoop dog and master pete so it's interesting i don't know what the splits are i don't know what the royalties are but it's interesting that walmart would go as as far as this to sabotage their brand allegedly so anyways uh this is the instagram account if you wanted to see how they uh rocking obviously you know there's people messing with the brand you see snoop dog right here I mean, not Snoop Dog, but the Snoop Dog cereal cereal, frosted drizzlers, you know what I'm saying? And you know it ain't real unless people hating on it.
Starting point is 03:26:33 So somebody said, we've been trying to get, I don't know, actually this is not the one. There was one when they was hating on it. I don't know which one. I think it's one of my other posts because this is like the main page. This one? I think it was towards the beginning. But anyways, as you can see, popular celebrities are now starting to hop on the bandwacking as far as like promoting the brand and things in that nature and uh like even somebody
Starting point is 03:27:02 commented they need to stop putting it in the back of stores here in florida i'm pissed it says available online at nearest Walmart but then when i ask somebody that shows the aisle and says out of stock they're trying to blacklist my dog snoop and pee exv man it ain't cool dog that's crazy obviously you can support on amazon and things of that nature but the whole walmart aspect and how they're just trying to downplay it is uh definitely concerning and that's why i wanted to cover it in the first place because at the end of the day somebody has to speak about these type of things we all can't just talk about the latest christian rock video you know i mean let's let's actually focus on things that have you know logistically speaking implications on the entire world you know
Starting point is 03:27:54 as far as product and the way that product is sold, the way that product is sold. Because a lot of people are shock value monetary, we don't know, they get financial monetary gain from shock value, which that's cool, right? But sometimes I like to focus on things that's more of the business side and just pinpoint how. and why are legendary hip-hop icons are legendary because of the mindset being above what the
Starting point is 03:28:34 genre they try to stick us in like these are businessmen at the end of the day j-z literally said i'm not a business man i'm a business man i don't know if y'all get that you i probably don't get it basically he said i'm not explaining it if y'all get out of oh i forget hey look it up so anyways uh these are the different flavors you know what i'm saying if you want some some frosted drizzlers you want some cinnamon toast you want some fruity hoops come on now like like imagine you you eat some fruity hoops before you drop a triple double at the wreck like they probably be like hey what type of cereal is that but let me tell you you know what I'm saying anyways all right that's it that's all I got to say so um fruity hoops is a nice name
Starting point is 03:29:19 imagine they got like jalen brown to co-sign that because you know he would you know he's one to he's one of a more more thought provoking um basketball players i would say but anyways um what else i think it's basically it um oh some random details okay so basically they found it brodest foods in 2022 to promote diversity in the food industry and provide opportunities for minority-owned products and obviously to do a well or Walmart Amazon and posts wouldn't get involved as far as keeping this cereal um off the shelves you know that if if a major label which is Walmart in the case of uh getting your product out there to the masses and a super market style if they're actually hindering your success in that specific field that means in the other fields
Starting point is 03:30:21 you're probably doing pretty well or else they wouldn't have to head on you at all they could just let you fizzle out in irrelevancy um yeah that's basically it uh walmart and post obviously denied the allegations citing factors like consumer demand affecting product sales we just listen to the video you know that else copping please it's not really too much they can do at this point the video is out there so the lawsuit seeks uh about 50 000 and damages and further relief determined by the core because of course the videos can only show so much obviously Walmart is going to lie and say those are the only stories that was doing that um Snoop Dog and obviously MasterP with their cereal brand is obviously something that I wanted to um highlight and pinpoint so if you want your your snoop cereal you know what I'm saying this is the frosted drizzlers you know this is the uh let me go back this is the cinnamon toasts
Starting point is 03:31:24 toasties yeah cinnamon toasties my fault my fault and then the fruity hoops with marshmallows they have a flavor for if you want to go healthy and they got a flavor for if you want a little sugar in your life you know what i'm saying no i'm wrong with little i ain't even gonna say it because i don't want to sound like i'm hating but anyways uh this is more of a different home appeal uh yeah that's basically it so yeah Walmart post stop hating that's basically it so anyways click my link sharing my Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Snoop Dog and Master P? Serial brand?
Starting point is 03:32:03 And will you be willing to give it a try via Amazon? And if you do want to give it a try, which flavor in particular would you want to try out? So that's about it for episode 136, which of course I titled Beyonce's Country Revolution, a new era, as Beyonce is totally going to take over the charts with their upcoming,
Starting point is 03:32:30 with our album already out i mean with the numbers that i'm looking at it seems like second most wanted jolline and i mean texas holdom has risen to number two second most wanted is number six jolene is number number seven and that's three that's three tracks in the top ten of course like that is obviously going to be number one for a minute because that song I ain't gonna cap to you that song is crazy like the more I listen to it is like bro it's like the perfect blend of the best producer the best hook we're not even a hook person I don't I don't know future may be up there as far as the best hook person as far as melodies is concerned he got that on lock and then Kendrick comes in with the bars I'm like goodness gracious
Starting point is 03:33:25 is if this ain't a perfect assembly of Avengers just to come out come out come out my man Drake man no ditty so anyways um yeah Beyonce has a lot of successful tracks but those are just the top 10 I wanted to list off those are three tracks in the top 10 so the best performing tracks offer her album is second most wanted jolline and in uh Texas hold them and then fourth would be Levi jeans with uh post malone at 16 so anyways obviously those are uh predictions we won't know until the official chart comes out you never know if they pull a uh a music video out of nowhere and it boosts one of the sales so that could also help but at the end of day you know that has been episode 136 obviously we talked about a lot more than that but you know that was
