What's going on on internet, analytic here, aka dreams. And I would like to welcome you to mind because of course, y'all probably think it to yourself. I know that ain't who I think it is. And you know when it comes to that, obviously you probably looking at the episode 151 and of course it being 12 to 13 days into the month, you know, any other time you'll probably be thinking what is going on with the podcast. But ultimately, of course, you've seen that we've been active daily and of course we've been working on something that i am very excited to showcase to y'all as when it comes to the notorious mass effect yes ladies and gentlemen besides the podcast milestone

which i really appreciate everybody for helping me get to that milestone that metric because ultimately it's not possible without y'all so with that being said of course we got to clap it up a little bit. You know, we got to clap it up. Because honestly, when it comes to 13 million downloads on my podcast, it is very insane that we got to this milestone. And of course, because of this episode coming out later than I would hope, we are a good amount past 13 million. As you can see right here, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. But as you can see right here, obviously, after I be a W tech guy, there you go. We have to pass 13 million downloads.

And of course, with that being said, we are and y'all are due for a lot of fantastic content coming your way. As if you don't know, the reason why I wanted to even take this long as far as putting out the episode. because when it comes to showcasing my love for y'all's support, I definitely take it very serious as far as creating something that I think y'all enjoy. I think I did that with the new installment of the podcast and the show. As you already know, covering the entire music industry, covering the entire gaming industry. But now, but now we have something for the podcast. that I am calling NME plus.

Y'all like my new sound effect? Y'all like that? You like that? Anyways, with that being said, getting into what NME plus is all about. Of course, when it comes to that version of the podcast, it's a lot of exclusive audio and video. And with that being stated, we have a lot of great content that would help you as a person,

physically, mentally, things of that nature as far as the big, Loser. Analytic Dreams Edition. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am showcasing my whole entire journey as far as my workouts. I'm going to showcase what I have as far as protein,

vitamin regiments, uh, smoothies, nutritious meals. There's a lot of things that you're going to be able to take from this overall transformation as far as the physical and mental journey of transforming your body through workouts.

right so that being said of course i have something to show you all so when it comes to that all of these additions to nm e plus is up now just go to analytic dreams video on spotify and then of course you'll be able to look at these segments specifically but if you need more of a direct link obviously just click my link stream my bio and then just go to the analytic dreams nm e plus addition so that being said now let's get into the first thing as far as me cultivating a very very interesting uh let's just do us let's just say it's a snippet for the overall uh transformation so right here let's be a w tech guy again there we go so anyways right here as you can see this is my first clip from the episode episode uh day one and day two why is it keep playing hold up when i tell you all right

yeah now i just gonna keep doing that but anyways um day one and day two is already out day three and day four is coming soon we're gonna be breaking this down and two Oh, they just play by itself. What in the world? We're going to be breaking this down into weeks. So week one is already completed, already recorded, and day one and two of week one is already uploaded. So this is one of the snippets that I put out to promote this.

So it just gives you more of an idea of one of the inclusions as far as exclusive audio and video. When I tell you, I'm a certified old man, I was not joking. So yes, we're about to get into my entire list of protein. Whenever old people tell you about vitamins, working, let's just say you better listen to him. Elderberry, if you don't know, gives you a solid boost maintaining your immune system.

So anyways, as far as his quote, he said, imagination is more important than knowledge. That man dropping gyms, ain't he? Hold on now. Whereas imagination embraces the entire world. So as you can see right here, hello. So I'm getting into my overall nutritious routine. And of course, and then I get into my workouts.

going all the way down but i'm only coming up midway okay okay this man a little personal trainer ain't he anyways so anyways with that being said uh then we have the second inclusion of um the exclusive video and audio for nm e plus as you already get your fitness workout with the biggest loser i'm calling it the biggest loser analytic dreams edition but we're really just focusing on a healthy lifestyle not really just focusing on weight loss there's a lot of things that help you uh when the comes to your physical journey and your mental journey. As you've seen in the clip, I also give daily gyms in my narration of my workouts. So anyways, with that being said, then we're going to get into the second part of NME Plus, which is something that people actually been asking for for

quite some time because of course the podcast name, you would think this will already happen. But ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you that it is finally here. I am currently diving into the Mass Effect Legend edition. And when it comes to the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, you already know 13,000 million downloads is one of the things I was going off of as far as making that more of a celebratory inclusion into the content space.

Because of course, when it comes to my Mass Effect playthrough, I've never did it on camera. So this is my first time ever. Part 1 is already uploaded. So this is why I took so long for the episode because I wanted to make sure when I tell you all about it, that it's already uploaded. So I don't want to waste your time.

And I always appreciate the people who take the time out of the day or night to check into the show, check into the overall content I'm giving. So this is exclusively for people who have been following the podcast for quite some time and would already receive the value to where they already know that if you subscribe, you already know you're in great hands. I'm giving you a whole package. Oh, Paul. Hey, yo.

You guys. See, that's the problem. But I've already cultivated a package that I believe is high quality. as far as your time and money. So with that being said, now let's get into the clip for my first ever Mass Effect Play-Thru. As you can see right here, this man is having the time of his life.

You know what I'm saying? This man is out here having the time in his life in his favorite game of all time. You guys. Anyways, let's get into the clip right now. Downtown in Mass Effect playing a game. Making my way downtown in Mass Effect, playing a game.

the inspire my podcast. I believe he will listen to you and let the med editor. Girl, don't touch me. Hey, hold on. Get your hands off me. I ain't consent to that? It's mad crazy, ain't he? Flirt with me one more time.

And you get kicked off the Normandy. Straight platonic. You know what I'm saying? She thinks she Miranda or something. I'll stand behind you and your report separate. You're a damned hero in my books. Yeah, I'm a hero. Through black man, got to keep the peace.

That's made crazy. Throughout this whole playthru, I was acting crazy. So cook, you ever had some mic cook for you? Lots of stuff. All right. So y'all get the point. So that's a little bit of that clip as far as the Mass Effect play through. If you don't know, that is uploaded right now as we speak.

So we're going to be, I'm going to be giving at least 10 to 15 hours of content as far as Mass Effect gameplay. And we are going to break it down like a kilo of Miley Cyrus. So that being said, ultimately you already know when it comes to that. that mass effect play through is beyond enjoyable for me and of course for people who have been asking for it they already know that it's going to be a tree for them as diving into it i'm going for the completion is run we're trying to do any and everything as far as mass effect involved as far as the trilogy so and also i'm playing it on pc so now if you think about it there's certain things in the game that you've probably never seen before and i'm not even just talking about

the base vanilla game let's just say i added a couple mods and y'all may put me in gooner prison for some of them. You guys. See, that's the problem. So with that being stated, of course, then we're transitioning from my Mass Effect playthrough. We're transitioning from my blueprint fitness edition where I'm calling the biggest loser show

as far as the analytic dreams edition. Y'all get more of a glimpse into my personal fitness routine. And I'm taking it away. It's also accountability for me. I'm taking a way more serious to show y'all. And I have certain pictures. I'm saying that for the people who support. I have certain pictures you showcase that I'm not just talking I'm talking about certain

workouts being more effective than others so anyways but that being stated uh let's get into the not last but one of the other additions of NME plus because there's a whole package pause again goodness you guys see that's the problem I keep falling for it so anyways um with this overall content that I'm giving y'all I want it to be very worthwhile as far as you subscribing to the NME plus because I would not be doing this if I didn't think it was valuable and quality right so I took my time cultivated a whole package of content I might have to keep you some package of content to showcase that I put some thought into this is a great overall time and I feel like people are going to enjoy it so with that

being said I did want to say this before I again to the last installment of any me plus who was on Patreon, more specifically. Let me see if I can find this right quick. So I said this during my Mass Effect legendary playthrough as far as on NME Plus, but there was certain people I was wanting to point out as far as long time. Let me see. Is it right here? I don't think it's this one.

There's a certain I was wanting to look at it. Okay. I think it's this one. So anyways, let me play my music while you all wait for me to find this. Sometimes I'm an old man. And I say sometimes, it's all the town. But let me see if I could find this. So I think it's an audience.

It should be. Ah, here we go. Okay, cool. So specifically, I'm not going to docks you, but of course the people who are supporting for the Patreon. These three people are specifically one to point out because of them standing out amongst the rest as far as the Patreon being considered. So you already know your name.

Well, you should already know your name as far as what you use for Patreon. I'm just going to say the first initial and the last initial, right? And you already know who I'm talking about because when you go to and then direct message me, I'll be able to tell you if you're on that list or not because I have it right here. I see the full emails and no scammers trying to get this free gift, right? This is essentially for the top three supporters on Patreon. So for the first one, BL, and you know who you are. If you direct message me on Patreon, you could get either a free subscription to NME,

Plus or and that gives me that goes into my next point or hold on hold on ladies and gentlemen hold on hold on make sure got to make sure I bring this up right you know what I'm saying all right hold up or you can get an item any item from the notorious mass effect store yes ladies and gentlemen we have our own store I'm blocking it entirely so of course the L tech guy but let's do this again so you can get any free item from the notorious mass effect store with showcases how much time i've been putting into the content basically letting y'all know that i wanted a way to put out this episode so i had the full package already ready for y'all i would pause it but i didn't set it too many times so as you can see right here any of these items you can get for free you know who you are on patreon just direct message me and you can either get one free item or you can get one full month subscription on NME plus. So that being said, the first one, as far as the top support on Patreon, was BL.

The second one was, it's three names. So an M is the first initial. The middle initial is G, and then the last initial is J. The reason why I'm saying it like that is because the people who are supporting on Patreon, you probably already know who I'm talking about. When you direct message me, I'll be able to cross-reference. I know the exact email as far as what I'm talking about. So, you know, no scammers.

Anyways, and then TC, TC, like I said, with BL, well, all three of those. All they all, so the first one was BL, second one was MGJ, and then the third one was TC. I just don't want to say your names because I don't want to docks y'all because, you know, Patreon gives me your first and last name and then your email. So, that being said, you can either get one full, one full free month for NME Plus or one free item from the notorious mass effect store, which showcases. how much work i've been putting in because i even know about the uh notorious mass effect store that's probably what y'all saying right now well now you know because of course i was waiting to get this all straight enough so that i'll be able to show this off in its entirety so of course you will be able to know that is officially live so with that being said yes ladies and gentlemen we finally

have our very own store and with that being said desktop mats headband shirts analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio come i'm currently showcasing the website uh we have tank tops for the women uh we have hoodies shirt uh long sleeve shirts and then of course we have the headbands as you already know i'm definitely a proponent of headbands so i very much like this uh design of the headband and of course all the merch is still coming in i currently have this right here i have this desktop mat obviously y'all can't see it but's in front of me um all of my other merchies coming in but you know, of course, I want to get this out there to let the people decide what they enjoy. And I think I'm going to do the way I'm running it, I'm running like other fashion websites.

We're going to have limited releases. So that way I could tell who's really like OG supporters of the podcast because you have certain stuff like this that won't be available like three, four months from now. Because I have completely new designs as far as the notorious mass effect store. And once again, just go to my link tree and my bio. As you can see right here and just click on N. me store and then guess what I pull it right up and then of course for NME plus is right here you click on that and then you'll be able to put in your info as far as subscribing to NME plus if you're already on Spotify it basically connects to it

if you're not it goes to any platform but you specifically get the video version on Spotify so you can still get it on Spotify through any other app any other platforms such as Apple or Amazon but you just want to get the video element unless you come to Spotify. So I think that's a little confusing. You get the content regardless. You get the video on Spotify exclusively, which is not a separate charge.

You pay it on whatever platform to get access to the content. I'm just saying the video to the exclusive access is on Spotify, but it's not a separate charge. It's all one charge. So anyways, with that being said, now let's get into the final edition for anime, Plus, which is ladies and gentlemen. But then you know what I'm saying?

I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? The underground trash rapper strikes again. This man wanted in on the NME plus package that I was offering. And ultimately, he got his slot in his placement into the overall content. Because of course, as you can see right here, ladies and gentlemen, somehow, some way, I didn't have the underground trash rapper convinced me to make an entire EP based off my podcast. So ultimately it's a five-track EP.

One of the tracks we're about to get into right now, but this is the clip for the ultimate notorious massive fake EP. So let's get into that clip right now. Enemy Plus, that's the first track of the notorious massive fake EP. Of course, narrated by yours truly, but of course performed by the one and only. Look, I never foe, just like my hundred, when they stack 100 of thousands i made i'm speaking on a track

first off i want to say that he completely extorted me to have a slot in a placement on nm e plus but i'm gonna let it rock 10 000 hours is more of the and then of course i get into the track description so really is an entire notorious mass effect project but it's also narrated by yours truly of course so when it comes to that you have a lot from from fitness advice to exclusive gameplay walkthrough such as Mass Effect. And of course, you have music as far as adding to the replay value because we're going to have monthly EP projects. And that's one of the clips I think I had in the tuck that was about to put out to promote.

I'm still going to put that out, but you know, it's in the tuck right now. A lot of stuff is in the tuck, which is why the content is going to be ever flowing at this point. Because the massive support, I get weekend, week out, I wanted to do some special for y'all. clearly for the real supporters out there. As when it comes to this content, it took me a lot of time to record. It took me a lot of time to put it together, to edit it. So ultimately, I wanted to make sure that if I'm asking for something as far as extra people subscribing to the platform to the exclusive version, I wanted to have something

that they felt like was justifiable as far as exclusive content. Because when it came to Patreon, now we got to get into Messyland. This is everybody's favorite topic. So what happened with the Patreon is I was running the Patreon and as you can see right now, I don't know if you could, let me see. Let me see if you can see it. So as you can see in the bottom right, that's a completely new logo placement, right? It's subscribed to my NME plus, right? That was where Patreon used to be.

And let me tell you all, when it comes to Patreon, it's a fantastic platform, but guess what? They ran out of storage. whole time i'm looking at joe buddins leak post as far as how much he makes monthly thank it to myself i know the same patreon telling me they ran out of storage so ultimately i guess i was just putting it too much too much work on patreon so i felt bad for the people who were supporting on patreon i felt bad for the ones that was uh getting slighted because i was trying to manage the story so now with analytic dreams video nm e plus edition spotify gave me unlimited storage so i could post as much as i want for the people who subscribe to the content so yeah when it came to patreon i ran out of storage

you was you was probably wondering where's the updated post on patreon i wanted to get this together before i told you what actually happened so yeah the storage ran out um ultimately now they have a whole new like model where they give you like a limited amount of storage every month like i don't like if i'm putting in work i want the overall conglomerant to not be worrying about the budget right if i'm using a hosting platform i don't want them come to be like hey man yeah the building's kind of leaky so we may need you to pay for like no no none of that if i'm putting out content i want to have the most storage possible because i'm trying to get my fans the ultimate experience so now enemy plus is completely crafted for people who enjoy notorious mass effect like i said fitness

exclusive gameplay walkthroughs we're getting into the entire mass effect legendary edition trilogy and we're getting into the pc version so it's going to be stuff you never seen before even if you you played it 510 20 30 all you get the point and then of course we get into the musical offering as far as the replay value adding to that so that's every month every week you're going to get new exclusive content of course if you're watching this you're going to know it's exclusive because they're going to say nm e plus presents so expect to see that a lot more but of course we're going to continue with the regular flow of covering music and covering gaming so with that out the way now that transitions into my other point now well it transitions into um my other segment as far as

analytical interactions let's get into something that everybody can enjoy right so that being said i'm not going to lie to you i may be an l content created because of course the podcast has been doing phenomenal but i have not had time to respond to everybody so when it comes to analytical interactions we're just going to get into what people are saying and then we're going to move on but the reason for that And that was the transition for analytic interactions. The reason for that is because of the K-pop Dima hunters support going insane. To the point where I believe I may have the most popular K-pop coverage on podcast platforms currently as far as specifically K-pop demon hunters, not the genre. K-pop demon hunters, I think my segments are the most popular on podcast platforms.

So that being said, let's get into one of the comments sections. I posted multiple. Y'all know how I do it. I cover different tracks and things of that nature. So one of the tracks I covered from K-pop Demon Hunters was one of these. I forget which one it was. I don't want to click the wrong one, but I think it's, I think it's, let me see, let me see, K-pop. Okay, so if I go to comments, it should have pull it up, right?

Right now it's just pulling them up one by. one i mean that's not very helpful uh now it's showing me 404 that's fantastic that that's exactly what i need when i'm doing my intro so uh while it gets that together essentially um yeah i don't even know what's like i don't even know what what it's doing right now that's what i'm planning to be in the background so you have a little bit of something to uh okay here we go cool let's just go to this one hopefully it's ah finally finally something i paid for works Anyways, here we go So with that being said

Getting back into the Spotify hosting platform They show me the concise list of comments That's what they usually do Make sure I'm not leaking nothing You know what I'm saying Don't need the IRS at my door But let me see it I mean if I guess since it's not live

I could edit it out But as you can see right here Ladies and gentlemen This coverage has been going crazy And this is just one of them right This K-pop demon hunters your idol coverage Which is personally my favorite track And I genuinely like this track

I catch myself day in, day out, walking around and then randomly, I would just bust out singing, preaching to the choir, can I get the mic a little higher? Like, I ain't going to lie to you. You're an idol is straightfire. And that is no ad. At this point, the amount of numbers I'm doing, they should be paying me. So anyway, I mean, I do get paid from this, but you know what I'm saying. So this is a lot of people, you know, analytically interacting with the segment, people saying,

And so I'm love with the song. I'm not sleeping. Like, these people are crazy. This is how you know it's a real K-pop fan base. Somebody literally said, just so all you know, Genoose, I think that's his name, is mine. So back off ladies. Like, this is an insane comment section. Hopefully y'all can see it.

I zoomed in enough. Let me see. I think y'all can see that. This movie is the best. As soon as the movie is over, I'll watch it again. Somebody else, oh, they're talking about how I speak through it all. I mean, that's why I do ever try. Somebody called it boring, right?

And watch how the K-pop people responded to him or her. I don't know who it is. I don't want to assume. So they said, uh, oh, no, it's right here. They said boring, right? And then, you know, me, because, you know, I prefer the pacifist route, right? If we're talking about mass effect, I prefer the paragon. So anyways, I essentially said, what don't you like about the song?

You know, everybody just disliking his comment. And I'm just like, what don't you like about the song or movie? So you can explain themselves. what I'm saying? And everybody else who's just like, well, that person is talking about the audio, but I don't think he was listening. This person was like, girl, STFU. It's the best movie ever. Oh, like, hold on now. You guys. See, that's the problem. See, we can't have no PC discussion with you saying STFU. I mean, I know this is a PG podcast, but I'm pretty sure even little Timmy knows what this knows what that stands for. So anyways, yeah, people just put all type of stuff that don't.

like look don't even watch it I can't even see it my fault and somebody said then don't what what is that come on man we can't be cussing like that even on Nikitania Mara's cousins a little bit but you know she's the queen of rap so we just let we let that slide but yeah man

people in the comments section going crazy they like bro how do you now like it oh this is the one I was talking about while I was covering it let me see somebody said I'm not going to do the voice again but y'all see what I was saying right here I highlighted it so ultimately they was not rocking with this man calling this a song boring or the movie because i believe when it comes to analytic dreams video it's very interesting i think my reactions

really go up on that specific platform as people on the analytic dreams video i'm i bring myself back my fault people on analytic dreams video really enjoy different reactions because of course as far as the algorithm they just like that somebody who may not be as in tune is really diving into into the culture and breaking it down for other people who may not be as aware. So when it comes to this specific comment section, a lot of people is very enthused about, you know, me just breaking it down because this was happening on every single track I was covering from the K-pop Demon Hunter soundtrack to the point where that may be some of my best, even on my main podcast platform, that's just audio only as far as under Red Circle.

that may be my most popular segment at the end of the year is really doing those type of numbers so shout out to K-pop and shout out to the people who really enjoy music from that specific genre so going from that

now let's get into the next analytical interaction as we're probably only going to we're probably only going to do three so let's start with IG and let me see what I want to go with like I said y'all gonna say l content created because i really ain't been responded to a lot of these um should i go to this one

all right let's do this one so or should do tic-tok first let's do tic-tok first so gunna you already know the biggest the biggest uh gangster out of alana has dropped his album right and essentially this is what people were saying in the comment section as you can see the clip is right here Burner Boy is on the same track and the entire chorus is just... So essentially I was talking about how Chloe Bailey is linked between, well, link was linked with Gunna and Burner Boy, and it was on the same track of Gunner's latest album talking about God knows what. He already know what they was talking about. So anyways, I just thought that was phenomenal. People in the comment

section, this person said Gunna's melody is top notch straight to the soul. And I've responded to that that I believe and I said perfected his own lane for real because a lot of people talk about how gunna is making the same track over and over again like if you perfect if you perfected the lane then I believe you get more of a leeway to make the same track like future uh there's certain artists who really perfected their lane to the point where now if you make certain renditions of that track is okay because gunna obviously gives us a lot of different vibes like he put out um classy girl and nobody like he looks like he looks at um classy girl and nobody like he's listen to it. So, you know, when people talk about Gunna not experimenting, like, no, y'all just don't

listen to Gunna at all. So when it comes to that, Gunna basically went back to the tried and true formula also was the last project he had to put out under Young Thugs label. So you already know he was trying to do with that one. I just think Gunna's not capable of just delivering a trash album. So he probably just gave Young Thug a bunch of just throwaways and then they just ended up be in fire. So anyways, and mark my word on that. His next album is going to sound completely different. This is his last album under Young Thug. He probably didn't want to give him the ultimate slaps. So anyways, then we have somebody saying, you sleeping on young nudie, which literally today, today. Oh, I put out my coverage of Young Nudy's album Paradise simply because of this comment,

which goes to show, y'all can't see it again. There we go. Which goes to show when, people support, I will ultimately cater to you because I don't like taking certain advice or what I should cover from people who don't support because then they don't know what I cover, right? Imagine somebody being like, man, I think you should cover more Drake. You know what I'm saying? Like, bro, you don't even listen to the podcast. It's telling me I should cover more Drake.

Obviously, nobody says that. But, you know, that would be something nobody, that would be something a person who doesn't watch the podcast will say. or doesn't listen to the podcast So anyways This person said You're sleeping on young nudie And of course I responded saying

Making a review for my show As we speak And guess what Young nudie paradise Is up now As far as my breakdown Into the album and singles So anyways

That's enough for the TikTok Analytic interactions now Let's get into the handy dandy Instagram And yes I just say handy dandy You know I'm 25 going on 90 So anyways Let's get into

Let me see. What I want, what I want to get into? Let's see, let's see. Let me see, which one, which one? I think I talked about that, didn't I? Anyways, let's get into some gaming, right? Let's switch it up. So let's get into this one.

Once again, analytic dreams or any of these platforms to bring up my profile. So anyways, that's being said. This is some of my gameplay and to ground it too. As you can see right here, this man is having a time of his life. Let me show y'all.

Potentially dangerous. Yo, who is this talking to me? Why is you putting mine as the word? Is she Batman? I think I could be an evil scientist, you know what I'm saying? I'll be like push your tea. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean?

Batman be trying to figure out the riddle. I'm just spitting like push your tea and malice. Okay. Like how many Madonna's can that monster fit? Batman be like, hold on the world what I just walk into? Alright, so obviously you already get it. Like this man's crazy. This man need help.

So anyways, I don't know why I pull that away. Hold on. Let's get into the analytic interactions. So anyways, you get to see what that looks like as far as people, um, comments and things of that nature. And you can see to the left, you know, a lot of people commenting right now, like in the video. So yeah, I love when people support,

you know, it really makes me, uh, in my job more enjoyable. Cause I'll be doing this without all of the support. Cause I've been doing this since 2018 and just picked up in like, what, 20, 23. So anyways, you know, I'm, I'm true to it, not new to it. All right, my fault, my fault. I know that ain't who I think it is.

My fault. My fault. Yeah, I get the point. But anyways, uh, when it comes to that, the comment section, somebody said, my nephew and I finished grounded in time for the sequel we loved it somebody else says still can get over how magical the backyard ambience ambience depending you know tomato tomato and grounded is and if somebody else said

grounded is my favorite survival game story driven co-op just makes it so much better and then somebody else said the badman because of course you know my badman joke so you get the point you know a lot of people commenting and stuff somebody else said ground the two only has okay 20 percent that's the real analytic dreams right there. He said he's breaking down analytics. This person said, Grounded 2 only has 20% of the map open right now, so I'm waiting for full release.

You guys. See, that's the problem. I respect that guy, but I have no idea what he's talking about. So anyways, with that being said, that's it for analytic interactions. Obviously, if I kept going through all my social media,

we'd be here for a minute. And, you know, of course, I want to say that's all. also a blessing that people are engaging with my content that much. But of course, for my newer segment, I just implemented what, like two months ago, analytic interactions, we can't get into everything. Like this is, it'll be impossible. But I really appreciate each and everybody who comments, likes, shares any of my content,

whether it's the clips, whether it's the live streams, whether it's, oh yeah, let's get to a live stream. That also has some analytic interactions. I don't know if I could pull that up specifically. Um, I just go there. Let me see, let me go to kick and then this is pull it up. I don't want to docks myself, you know what I'm saying?

All right, I think this. I think I should be able to find something as far as analytic interactions. All right, cool. So yeah, let's do the live stream version because we haven't did that before. So last but definitely not least for analytic interactions. Let's get into me talking to the people tuning in live, which if you don't know, I do live stream. And as you can see, is this happening right?

right here. Let me see, let me see we pull this up. I'm blocking myself. All right, let me take myself away. There we go. Y'all like my little outfit, nothing too crazy, you know what I'm saying, just getting into role play. When it comes to analytical interactions as far as the streaming portion, as you can see right here, this is me just interacting with your chat and stuff. That's why you should definitely follow my live streams via my link tree and my bio. Oh, 12-1. Dang, bro. Who left the water on?

I don't know. So I ain't going to take a little shower right quick. Girl, I wish I could save you, but I can't. That girl took me for Spider-Man. Superman. That's what I'm talking about right here. That's why you should definitely follow the live stream. Hey, I take a little shower.

I'm back, though. Is there any rooms we missed or what? You said not middle of a mission. Yeah, had to. I had to get that shout session in. All right. So obviously you get the point, you know, as far as people who tune into live stream and that interactions,

that's definitely something that I don't think I've ever showed as far as the live stream aspect. So if you're new, just know I do live stream. So if you was ever wondering, like, where does this man be sometimes? Sometimes I'm live streamer, sometimes I'm recording for the podcast. Sometimes I'm recording exclusive content for Enemy Plus. Just know your man is always working. And with that being stated, that's the end.

of analytic interactions hopefully i enjoyed that newer segment so with that being said now we're about to get into music and gaming recap because when it comes to that obviously notorious master fake is playing off of gaming and music and when it comes to episode 151 diving back into the intro we have to talk about how this episode is titled is nintendo taking over gaming and Because of course we already know Donkey Kong Bonanza is running up to sales like none other. We know that Nintendo Swiss 2 is running up to sales like none other. We know that Mario Car World is running a... All right, y'all get the point, right?

Shepard. Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? What's going on is Nintendo's putting BTA on the entire gaming industry with their latest console with Mario Car World. And of course, with Donkey Kong Bonanza. So with that being stated, now let's get into... the other side, which is, of course, push your tea and malice in their album,

let God sort them out. You guys. See, that's the problem. I know Kanye would not be a fan of me, putting them on the cover of the episode, but ultimately, I cannot tell y'all how phenomenal this album is. As far as when I get into it, specifically, you will come to realize that I believe

this is one of the greatest masterclasses we've seen as far as lyricism throughout an entire body of work. And I say that with all sincerity. As this is one of the best albums, best rap albums, I've heard in quite some time. And ever since drug dealers, anonymous when Push a T went toe to toe. And yes,

toe to toe with Jay Z. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, with Jay Z. So ultimately, I realized at that point in time, push a T was somebody not to be recommended. with and that was way before my favorite rapper got mutilated by him as far as exposing his child right that's a whole not discussion so anyways episode 151 is focusing on donkey conanza and of course push the tea and malice as far as the clip's album let god sort them out so that's why they're the highlights for this specific episode but of course when it comes to the entire um

episode we have drake we're getting into drake and his rollout for ice man we're getting into of course push the tea and malice the clips album like guys who are at them out. We're going to talk about Justin Bieber's album swag. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Justin Bieber has the album title swag. It's not that bad. I ain't going to lie to you.

Travis Scott, a.k.a. Jack Quees Webster has Jack Boys 2. The sequel for Jack Boys has finally came out. And let's just say, this man is not going to apologize for the Astro World situation anytime soon. So I should probably keep, I should probably start bringing it up, right? Of course not.

So anyways, Tyler the creator, surprise the music industry dropping his surprise album don't tap the glass so we're going to get into all that as far as this episode 151 and then we're going to get into a little bit of industry news and then of course gaming and drama the reason why i don't break down the rest of it because i don't even i don't really break down stuff for my episode but um i guess i will keep going industry news we're going to break down the music industry uh being down compared to the halfway of 2024 according to earnings report by some German corporation. So ultimately when it comes to music industry, a lot of people is streaming music more,

but less people are buying physically purchasing music, whether it's vinyl, CDs, things of that nature. So people are not really out here purchasing music like that. And we're going to get into that in this episode. Also, we're going to talk about how Live Nation created the biggest black creator network in history. So that's a huge accomplishment, especially for Live Nation going under certain lawsuits, which I also broke it down. But of course, I keep it eight more than 92. So even though I did cover the blockbuster lawsuit against Live Nation, I'm also covering Live Nation urban launching the largest. The largest black creator network in the industry.

So at that being said, ultimately you already know that Jay-Z and them is going to have some great P-U-R for the foreseeable future. Now, with that being said, Sony bought some shares into Bandai Namco. So we also get into that as far as them buying 2.5 steak into Bandaanamco for anime, manga, and more. We dive into that topic. And then we get into the gaming portion of the episode. And of course, we start off with Donkey, Kong Bonanza. We're going to get into rematch college football 26 ready or not, which surprisingly overtook every single game as far as being the most play game on the PlayStation

platform. One of the most impressive accomplishments that I've seen in quite some time. So we're going to get into that. Then we're going to get into Marvel token and how that is unequivocally going to be one of the biggest games of 2026. What the developers have showed us already as far as Marvel token, this may be one of the greatest fighting games of our all time and i say that with all sincerity i believe that marvel tokens were going to be one of the greatest fighting games of all time so that being said then i get into my love and of course me putting respect on a mobile gaming community's name as we hop into warhammer 40 000 tactitious the mobile game and ultimately we finish off with a little bit of drama because who doesn't like

drama right so we get into a little bit of drama as we talk about the ubyself assault case yes ladies gentleman Ubisoft is in hot water once again. So that being said, three former Ubisoft exists were found guilty and we dive into the details of that specific topic. And then of course we end off with the oldest bingo club argument I've seen in my lifetime as far as Jim Jones versus push your teeth. So that's everything that we're getting into as far as episode 151. But ultimately, you know we have to end off with a little recap of the entire.

entire gaming and music industry. So with that be it said, starting with music, of course, like we always do, getting into the top 10 singles that is impacting the masses. We have to start with K-pop Demon Hunters. As they unequivocally have the most played track in the entire world. And with that being said, K-pop Demon Hunters track Golden is objective. speaking the most play track in the world so shout out to them for that and then of course we have ordinary by warren our alex warren we have the third most play track uh the subway by

chapelle rowan and analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio because i'm showing it uh i'm showing the billboard rankings as i go through it the most the the fourth most play track is what i want by morgan walling featuring tape mccray i'm surprised to not see Morgan Wallin at number one but of course he can only put so much BTA on the music industry until his arm gets tired and of course y'all saw my well y'all should have seen my taylor swift coverage as far as her album let's just say big tea is coming and that means the biggest gangster industry is about to take over so the life of a showgirl is coming out soon um if you're a huge swiftly just know that album is going to be very impactful to the masses so with that being said

track number five is uh the fifth most play track in the world is daisies by justin beber six most played track in the world is love me not by raven leney i think that's how you say i've covered her before but i always butcher names not on purpose though um raven lenae her track love me not is the six most played track in the world and then you have just in case by morgan walner which is the seventh most play track in the world and then of course who is that? Not only is K-pop Demon Hunter's soundtrack have two tracks in the top ten

but they have two separate entities as far as the movie into this top ten as the girl group which is at the top Hunter X, J. Audrey, Nuna and Rie Ami that's the girl group. The boy group which is actually the track that I enjoy

which that segment is also going crazy on my podcast. Shout out to y'all but that is the eighth most play track in the world currently. And as far as your idol, let me just tell you. That track is phenomenal. Like I said, preaching to the choir. Hold on, I need full screen for this one.

Pause. No, no ditty. I be singing this every single day that ends in why. I just walk around singing, preaching to the choir. Can I get the mic a little higher? You know what I'm saying? Like, that track is fire. Phenomenal.

And literally my favorite track, I'll the soundtrack so i think it's uh very uh fitting that it's the eighth most played track in the world that track is beyond fire uh lose control by teddy swims is the ninth most played track and yes ladies and gentlemen you're seeing that correctly that says 103 weeks on the billboard charts ladies and gentlemen if you don't know what the hit looks like just know you're looking at it right now a hundred and three weeks being in the top 10 with one specific track literally you're feeding generations with this one track. So with that being said,

a bar song, another track that's doing phenomenal on the charts. As you can see, this is 60, hold up, my mark is off. This is 69 weeks. I'm trying to get a little more. Okay, there we go. Y'all get the point, right. Made the little circle over it. That's 69 weeks total on the chart. So that's the 10th most played track

in the world, a bar song by Shibuzi. Safe to say, the racist manager at the Country Music Awards talking about we've been kicking Shibuzi. it don't look like it. It seems like Shibuzi been kicking, y'all. I ain't going to lie to you. But then, you know what I'm saying?

I'm like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's so new? So anyways, to recap, we have a bar song by Shibuze at number 10. These are the top 10 most play tracks in the world. So the recap, A Bar Song by Shibuze is the 10th most play track in the world. Lose control by Teddy Swims is number nine. Your Idol by the Sajor Boys is number eight. Just the Case by Morgan Wallin is number seven.

Love Me Not by Raven Lanay as number six. Daisies by Justin Bieber is number five. What I Want by Morgan Wallen featuring Tate McCray is number four. And then in the top three, you have the subway Chappelle Rowan at the number three slide. Number two is Ordinary by Alex Warren. And of course, the most played track in the world is Golden by Golden by Hunter X, which is really referred to as the K-pop Demon Hunter's soundtrack. So shout out to them.

They did a phenomenal job promoting the album, promoting the soundtrack, promoting the movie. And then, you know, moving on to the albums, safe to say that we probably won't see them, right? Like, I don't think we'll see the K-pop Demon Hunters at all, you know, as far as in the top five, right? So as far as me pulling up this list, what is that? Hold up now. You're telling me the entire, the entire soundtrack for K-pop. demon hunters is the second most play project in the world ladies and gentlemen when i tell you that's a phenomenal accomplishment because of course it is august 12th and as far as this project this project came out

let me see if i can find this k-pop demon hunters uh demon oh i think i'm in my playlist okay it popped up though that's how you know i'll be listening to it popped up which you know shameless plug if you want to know what i'd be listening to just go to my link tree go all the way to the bottom and this is what I've been listening to and it's Fresh Fire 2025. All tracks from 2025 that I enjoy. So a little shameless plug. K-pop Demon Hunters came out June 20th. Ladies and gentlemen, it is August 12th.

Safe to say this is a phenomenal body of work that people have been enjoying as far as an analytical standpoint, as is the second most played project in the world. So number one, of course, Morgan Wallin is continuing to be BTA. I guess his arm ain't tired just yet. You know what I'm saying? This man said the N-word and still has the most popular track. most popular album in the world i mean safe to say that is a white privilege for you now with that being said morgan wall and i'm the problem is number one most played album in the world k-pop demon hunter

soundtrack is the second most played project in the world rene rap with her uh album bite me as a newer installment so of course her debut is number three which is a phenomenal accomplishment we'll see if it stays suicide boys their album die kingdom come is the fourth most played project in the world and of course have the one and only Bieber Valley with his album swag that is still the fifth most played album in the world and as you can see he has a number around last week that means that he was able to hold his position for two weeks consecutively so that was phenomenal because this album just came out not too long ago so for Justin Bieber to have to stay in power in the top top five as far as the most played tracks in the world or most played projects excuse me most played projects in the world

is a phenomenal accomplishment so with that being said To recap, the top five most played albums in the world. We have Justin Beaver's swag in number five, Suicide Boys Thy Kingdom Come, and number four. Renee Rap, Bite Me, and number three, K-pop Dima Hunter soundtrack, and number two. And of course, Morgan Wallin, I'm the Problem at number one. Now, you probably think of yourself, is Renee Rap and Suicide Boys there because they just debuted? Well, I would say yes, but of course, let me show you some of the other albums just in case you don't believe me, right? these albums right here is what they're going to be competing with next week.

This is six through ten. So the sixth most play album in the world is, let me sure I can count right. Yeah, that's right. Okay. Six most play album in the world is Alex Warren, you will be all right. Seventh most played project in the world is once again,

once again. Morgan Wallin just, at this point, he's pulling the switch out. He getting the switch on just, hey, BTA on the entire music industry. Having two projects in the top seven is beyond insanity.

This is exactly what Taylor Swift did in 2024, and Morgan Wallen seems to be replicating that formula, and it just so happened that both of the artists are under UMG. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going to be? I need Drake to get that lawsuit wrapped up because he ain't going to be putting numbers up like this

if he keep beefing with the big dogs. anyways with that being said um morgan wallen has the seventh most played project in the world scyza one of the most popular artists in the world i don't know why she didn't get more credit for a kendrick g and x tour because of course it was a joint tour while they was filling out stadiums but for some reason people just forgot sis was on there and gave all the credit to side seven but you know that's besides a point so um ninth most played project in the world is yeat dangerous summer and of course number 10 is tyler the creator don't tap the glass and of course you know We already know which way Tyler, the creator, swings.

Apparently it's both ways, you know, allegedly, you know what I'm saying? You guys. See, that's the problem. I'm not trying to get sued, but all I'm going to say is he probably wanted to take the GL off of that album title, but that's just me. So anyways, wrapping this back up, getting into 6 through 10. Tyler, the creator is the top, has the 10th most play project in the world. Yeat with his, this is his debut. Whenever you see this and it doesn't have a number, just assume this is their,

debut because that's what it is so his first week out he was able to debut as the ninth most played project in the world which is a phenomenal accomplishment selling 34 000 first week seza has the eighth most play project in the world morgan walt which rose from 13 as you can see this is always the last week number morgan wall and one thing at a time is the seventh most played project in the world and then of course Alex warren you'll be our right kid is the sixth most played project now ladies and gentlemen switching gears from that getting into gaming of course we're going to start with steam going to get into xbox and then we're going to get into uh nintendo playstation and their mobile so getting into steam first let me pull this up right quick

so we're going to get into steam first that pulled the nintendo up make sure okay there we go so but as we usually do the top i think we do the top 10 but we're just going to do the top 15 just because you know i mean just because i'm feeling feeling i'm feeling i you feel you me so anyways getting into the top 15 on steam as far as the most play game and number one we're just going to kill the suspense because they're always number one we have counterstrike two with a whopping 1.1 million concurrent player count and of course 1.2 24 hour peak so ultimately dota 2 is at number 2 no pun intended uh has 700 around 700 000 concurrently playing the game with a 24 hour peak of 7202 000 and then

Then we have PubG Battlegrounds with 482,000 concurrently playing the game and 597 24 hour peak. And of course, at number four, we have the one and only Apex Legends, which I still to this day remember when me and my homies were in the dorm rooms and the Apex Legends, the surprise dropped and we hopped on it like it was no tomorrow. Pause, goodness. We played the game like it was going out of style and we very much enjoyed this. So they have a concurrent player count of 182,000 with a 24 hour peak of 216. And then of course, Delta Force comes in at number five as they have a concurrent player count of 163,000 with a 191,024 hour peak. And then we have rest.

Hopefully, y'all like my six connecting to the five. Rest comes in number six. Most play game on Steam as 145,000 people concurrently playing the game with a, a, uh, a 24 hour peak of 162,000 then we have wallpaper engine but we're not going to count that so let me see we're not going to count that we're not even going to give that number so really the real number seven because wallpaper engine that's like a cheat code come on now number seven is a stardew valley which has a concurrent player count of 115,000 and 24 hour peak of 128000 which is a phenomenal lifespan for this particular game that just came out not too long ago and then we had

Naraka Blade Point coming at number eight most play game on Steam currently 97,000 people playing the game right now 24 hour peak of 130,000 then we have peak which is more of a streamer game but it's very enjoyable if you enjoy certain people playing just outlanders games right this game has a concurrent player count of 96,000 or a 24 hour peak of 135,000 and of course then we have Grand Theft Auto 5 see ladies and gentlemen this is why GtA6 keeps getting pushed back. Shepard. Just look at the state of gaming.

Like, what is going on? Lear, I'd be trying to tell them that if they don't stop supporting these old games, they won't make any new ones because people are flopping left and right. You got Concord, you got split gay. All right, my fault. I ain't mean to send random shots, my fault.

My fault, my fault. I ain't mean to do that. So anyways, when it comes to not sending random shots, let's just say games are flopping left and right. and if you want gt a 6 to come out and be amongst of these atrocious flops as far as video games now as far as quality you know there's a whole separate discussion as far as people flopping and studios getting closed down whether they put out a good game or not financially a lot of these companies aren't doing well so what incentivizes rock star to put out gtta 6 we all have gtta 5 in the top 10

as far as steam so anyways 87 000 concurrently playing gtta 5 and a 24 hours peak of 89,000 so with that being said then we have bongo cat a number 11 86,000 people concurrently playing bongo cat which it's so funny because I actually covered that game and I had so much fun covering it but I was out thinking to myself like bro man I'm really dedicated to this stuff like bro who is out here covering who is out here going from Drake coverage to Kendra covers to to to bongo cat like come on man shepherd just look at the state of gaming like what is going on hey i'm sorry i just got to tell you like at the end of the day bongo cat like

it's one of those games that i just don't i just i'm off i'll stop i'll stop so but whoever if y'all enjoy bongo cat then i guess anyways uh number 12 we have banana another streamer game but you know at the end of day i ain't mad at if you enjoy whoever you enjoy watching play this game eighty four thousand people concurrently playing banana and a 24 hour peak of a hundred and uh... 36,000. You're probably wondering, why did you skip source SDK-based 2007? Because I have no idea what that is. Actually, let's look that up right now. I just assume that wasn't a game. You know what they say about assumptions, right? This is a PG podcast, so I really can't explain it. But y'all get the point, right? Let me see, 2007. What is it? On Steam. There we go. So when it

comes to this, I just know it's not a game. It can't be a game. It doesn't even look like a game. It looks like something you download for like mods or something. Let me see. Let me see. Just doing a little journalistic research, nothing too crazy. Okay, so it's a free tool. A free tool on Steam provided by Valve. It serves as a foundation for running mods.

See, I knew it. See, I told you I played games. Like, come on now. All right, my fault. I just switched the topic. So when it comes to the 13th most play game in the world, goodness gracious that's a crazy three y'all like that i'ma keep that there whatever y'all just get to make fun of my three that's it insane three right there dead by daylight is a 13th most

played game on steam 70,000 people concurrently playing the game a 24 hour peak of 74,000 so to recap steam we have dead by daylight banana bonga well okay dead by daylight at number 13 banana at 12 bongo cat at 11 grant the father of 5 at 10 peak at 9 the rockablay point at 8 star du valley at 7 rust at 6 delta force at 5 apex legends at 4 and then getting to the top 3 most played games in the world on steam pub g battlegrounds at 3 delta 2 ironically at number 2 and then of course the unequivocal goat when it comes to consumption amongst steam gamers counter strike 2 which if you don't know that new sound effect that I'm using is literally from that game. So, you know, shout out to the people who already knew that.

But let's switch gears again into Xbox. As you already know, when it comes to Xbox, ultimately, it's usually the same. So let's look at Xbox right quick. So as you can see right here, Grounded 2 is actually making a resurgence as far as Xbox. It was not on there for a second. But people are really enjoying the game because if you look at it, it's really interesting. as far as you can either play it by yourself, I think it's way harder if you do that.

You know, shameless plug to my analytic dreams grounded gameplay. As let's just say, I was lost a little bit at a certain point. So anyways, I would say grounded to somebody is a game you play with friends. But killing the suspense, the most play game,

most paid game on Xbox is, of course, Minecraft. Number two is surprisingly ready or not. It was not at, it was not on Xbox at all as far as in the top 10. So I'm surprised to see this as number two because when we come to PlayStation, whenever I was looking at it throughout the month, Ready or Not was consistently the most play game on PlayStation. But as you can see for Xbox,

it's on there now, but when I was looking at it, it was not on there. So anyways, now shout out to Radio Not. Shout out to, I think it's Void Interactive that developed this game. Shout out to them for having this resurgence on Xbox. And then we have grounded to, two at number three as far as the most played game like x-box and then we have more to combat 11 ain't no way more to combat 11 the fourth most played game honestly i don't know how this

happened i don't know what they're doing but whatever oh maybe it's because of the more to combat movie and and the trailers for that that made people revisit mortar combat 11 but honestly i don't know why people are coming back to more to combat like that's just i don't know hey you already know my favorite fighting franchise of all time is more to combat but for some reason they just continue to drop the ball. Like, I enjoy the game. Come to realize that certain metas make the game unplayable, so I stopped playing it.

You know what I mean? Like, if you didn't use, what was it, Syracs, as a sector, as a side assist character, you was basically getting whipped in every online match. And I feel like for a foundational, for a fundamental fighting game,

you should be able to use any character and have a fighting chance. But anyways, so the assist mechanic, I think they will not do that in the foreseeable future. I think they messed that up. uh grounded two so when it comes to grounded two some reason that number five uh because you have

the founders packing you have grounded two so really Minecraft and um grounded two took up two slots in the top six you know i mean i guess that's what happens when you're very popular you guys see that's the problem so anyways getting into seven through 10 so that's the top five actually let's look at this again so um top six Minecraft uh let's go from six so my Minecraft is on here twice is at number six. And number one, if you're wondering the difference, Minecraft, Java, and Bedrock Edition for PC is the most played game on Xbox. But Minecraft, Java and Bedrock Edition, Deluxe Edition,

deluxe collection is the six most played game on Xbox. So it's two different packages, which is why it's on there twice. Grounded 2 is at number 5. Mortarcombe 11 is number 4. Grounded 2, the Founders Pack is in number 3. ready or not is at number two so shout out to grounded and Minecraft for taking up two slots out of the top six with the deluxe editions and the founders pack but with that being said let's get into seven to

10 so as far as seven through 10 surprisingly this list is interesting you know I blame the Xbox game pass we're gonna get to the top games like Xbox game pass I think people are finally realizing that the game pass is the best bang for your buck especially in this economy as a gamer like the amount of games that I've played essentially using the Xbox game pass and I create content like I don't mind paying the full price it's just a tax write-off for me but for most people you would think that they would enjoy the game pass more because if you have a PC if you have an Xbox it doesn't even have to be the Xbox series X you can get the S that's cheaper get the digital edition if you're

just going to solely do downloads and then you're good to go but anyways um that's why I believe this list looks like this as far as it not being the call of duties of the world because I believe Xbox is going away from actual physical copies. They're kind of getting into what the music industry being transitioned into as far as being a part of streaming services instead of actually incentivizing the public to purchase physical copies, right? So anyways, this is number seven, who's your daddy? And it just goes off my point.

Like, who in the world is playing this if they have Call of Duty for Free on Game Pass? Grounded to Founders Edition, Goodness. they took up three slots in the top 10. ATV drift and tricks, definitive edition, okay, that's number nine. And of course, oh my goodness, my nine is crazy. And then number 10 is Gotham Nights. So getting through seven through 10,

as far as the most play games on Xbox, you have Who's your Daddy at number seven, grounded to a founder's edition, ATV drift and tricks, definitive edition in number nine, and then rounding off the top 10 of the most play games on, Xbox got them nice is the number 10 slide so now let's transition into the Xbox game pass because I feel like that's more indicative of what people are actually enjoying as far as the

top most play games on Xbox ecosystem so when it comes to the most popular games on game pass obviously you see the complete list here I do not think it's easy to quantify what's the most popular so all I'm gonna say is it's not in order but a course this is the entire list so i'm not going to list it out like i usually do as far as no i'm not going to number it as you can see right here we have call of duty war zone call a duty black op six standard edition league of legends minecraft java bedrock edition valourine for pc grounded to microsoft solitary collection so if you do have game pass just keep in mind all of these games are free on the game pass ain't that crazy when it comes to this economy and being able to

have a bang for your buck. You guys. Ah, my fault. Shepherd. Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? So, Overwatch 2, PC, rematch, Forza Horizon 5, Standard Edition, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Sege,

grounded, root chain, fallen feathers. With shameless plug, I have Woochane uploaded on my analytic dreams video. I have an entire part one of my WooChain Fallen Feathers uploaded. So with that be, it's a clear, obscure, Expedition also play that game any of these if I say I played it you can just type in that name

analytic dreams with a Z and then you'll be able to see it but of course spot if well you'll be able to listen to it but on Spotify you'd be able to see the video along with the audio dead by daylight battlefield 2042 I don't know how you say that abiotic abiotic

abiotic factor is either abiotic or obbiotic I don't know which one factor farming sit with what in the world nah bro I gotta say some farming simulator 25 what are y'all doing with your time goodness gracious I ain't gonna

cap to you I get it how you live but as a gamer I'm judging you I ain't gonna lie pure ignorance I am judging you off pure ignorance if you're playing a farming simulator 25 with that being said uh Balatro which was definitely nominated

for game of the year whenever it came out not too long ago what was the release date let me see belatro release state so for the game award show it was okay it was 2024 the 24 game award show it was nominated for game of the year so people seem to not get enough of this game balatro so anyways it's on xbox game pass as well and then of course is that what i think it is ain't no way they got the entire gta 5 enhanced edition on pc for free on game pass and people still buying it to the point where it's top 10 and Xbox like come on now

Shepherd just look at the state of gaming like what is going on so that being said we're switching gears so now we dived a little bit into the Xbox game pass now let's get into PlayStation as when it comes to PlayStation we already

know what's going to be towards the top because of course Madden 26 is coming out soon so ladies and gentlemen is no surprise Madden 26 is the most played hold up is that too can i see that uh where should i move see i can see the 25 i want to put it shall i put it up there yeah let me move my thing right quick trying to be a w tech guy on the fly

nothing too crazy um see take that away all right i think that works right yeah that works okay anyways getting back into it mad at 26 is the most play game on playstation as of right now so no surprise because it's about to come out. Madden 26 is unequivocally the most clamored for a game on PlayStation. Fortnite, as you already know, is always up there in the top 10. And of course, it comes in at number two. My number two is wild. I don't know why I drew it like that. Call of Duty. Number three, most play game of PlayStation, no surprise here. Battlefield 6 is number four. Shout out to the people trying out Battlefield 6 or just Battlefield in general for the first time. And he had Mafia, the old country coming in number five. I heard this game. is stiffer than when you see a baddie all my fault you guys see that's the problem mafia old

country seems to be one of those games that continuously has better story than gameplay but with that being said mafia old country is objectively speaking the fifth most uh bought game on playstation then we have NBA 2k 25 I guess people are getting ready for their 2k 26 as it's the 6 most play game on PlayStation which you know 2K is always usually on that list so it's always usually on that list so it's always like that but anyways as far as the top six on playstation number six we at two k 25 mafia the old country comes in number five battlefield six comes in number four call duty comes in at number three fortnight comes in at number two and of course the most bought game on playstation as of right now is madden NFL 26 as people get ready for this game to to uh to release so

that being said now let's get into seven through 10 so now when it comes to seven through 10 make is when it comes oh why do that can i grab yeah there we go there we go so seven through 10 e-8 sports college football 26 which to me was a little let down i actually played this game uh so with that being said i believe when it comes to college football 26 um i didn't do anything different from 25 which we should have known going on for the past research or the past history of Madden of 2K, but you know, we thought it was going to be different

with college football, came to found out, we came to find out, 25 to 26. He might as well just called it 25 to Deluxe Edition because this is essentially the same game

with new college athletes. So Roblox comes in at number eight, ready and now, oh, my number eight was kind of fire. I like that. Oh, my fault, my fault. Ready and now comes at number nine, which, you know,

to be fair, this is surprising because throughout the entire month, it was literally at number one. So I'm not saying it's like falling off by any stretching of imagination because it's still in the top 10. And of course, you never know what type of cross-collaborative efforts they have coming down the pipeline. But Ready or Not is currently the ninth most played, ninth most bike game on PlayStation.

And of course, we have MLB to Show 25 coming in and number 10. So wrapping up to 7 through 10 on PlayStation. At number 10, we have MLB the Show 25. And number nine, we have Ready or Not. at number eight we have roadblocks in there number seven we have ea sports college football 26 so with that being said that is the top 10 games affecting the masses on playstation now let's get into mobile games as when it comes to the top mobile games obviously obviously you already know these are the biggest mobile games currently now when you look at the apple store this is one

the things that i was contemplating going off of because i don't know if i want to go off of certain sites that I put together a list or if I want to go off the Apple store because sometimes the Apple store would be acting a little funny. If you know the Fortnite versus Epic, I don't know, Fortnite versus Epic, the Epic versus Apple battle, which I've detailed entirely on this podcast. Apple loves to, you know, allegedly maneuver some things as far as the analytics and show which games they want to show, you know what I'm saying? So as far as the most popular games, this is unequivocally the most fair list in my opinion.

So Warhammer 40,000 text issues, which I just recently covered. It comes in at number one as far as the most play mobile game in the world. And number two, we have Marvel Contest of Champions. And number three, we have Mobile Legends Bang Bang. Number four, we have Crystal of Atlin. Number five, we have Squadbusters. Number six, we have Pokemon Go, good and as gracious, that number six. I got to do that over.

That's bad. That's terrible. There we go. Is that even a six? Am I tripping? That is a six. hey to type it in to make sure hey they look like a bee to me my my my my drawing skills is is in the gutter and then cookie run kingdom at number seven so of course these are the top seven games

as far as mobile platform and at some at some point i would start showing like apple and android specifically but at this point in time it's very interesting the way they maneuver numbers and it's completely different from what my uh research tells me so i think i think that's for a reason so uh with that being said um um i want you all to see that number seven i see number seven all right cool so that being said uh recapping the top seven most played mobile games we have cookie run kingdom in number seven pokema gobe in number six squad buses at number five crystal of atlan and number four mobile legends bang bang and number three and then the top two we have marvel contests of champions at number two and then war a hammer 40

000 tacticians and number one so those are the top mobile games affecting the masses Now, we're going to get into Nintendo. As when it comes to Nintendo, you already know Docy Kong Banazza is putting up numbers, but surprisingly, it comes in at number three. So I would put up the rankings, but of course they have other consoles in there. I don't want to get y'all confused. So when it comes to this specific list, I can show you, let me see. Let me just show you the top three record.

We would do it like that. So the top three as of right now, as you can see right here, We have Demon Slayer, whatever that says, Hanukami, Hinokami, I think not, hopefully that's at the right. Blood, Wind, Tail, 2. That's number one currently for the Nintendo Switch platform.

Then, of course, you have Mario Kart World and number two. Donkey Kong Bonanza at number three. And then, of course, going down. Number four, we have Holo Flower, hollow flower card. I think that's how you say it. Demon Slayer once more at number five, probably some different edition or something like that.

Super Mario Party Jamboree, Nintendo Switch 2 edition, plus jamboree TV and number six, Castlevania, Advanced Collection, and number seven, Minecraft, number eight, Mario Car 8, deluxe at number nine, and of course, rounding off the top 10 for the games most notoriously impacting

the Nintendo platform, and number 10, we have Tamagachi's bubble wrap, Amasichi, Amichito, Sama. Hopefully I said that right. If I did, they clap it up for me. So anyways, that comes in number 10. so rounding off the top 10 games notoriously impacting the masses on the nintendo platform we have the tomogachi at number 10 mario car 8 deluxe at number 9 minecraft at number 8 Castlevania advanced collection number 7 super mario party jamboree nintendo swiss 2 edition plus jamberry tv

and number 6 demon slayer henokami blood windtail 2 and number 5 and is at number 1 not to get it confused so it took up two slides it's probably the Yeah, it's the PS5 edition. Hollow Flower Card is number four. Donkey Kong Bonanza, surprisingly, is number three. You know, it just came out. But, you know, we're just going to lead that to, you know what I'm saying? Mario, Mario, whenever. But, you know what I mean?

That's just me. All right, my fault. My fault. I'll back off. So, and then number two, we have Mario Carworld. And then number one, of course, is Demon Slayer, Hinocami, Bloodwent, Telf, too. So ultimately, these are the top games impacting the Nintendo platform. And ladies and gentlemen, that wraps up the notorious.

mass effect for the gaming industry and the music industry. So ultimately getting back into this episode, which is titled Nintendo is Nintendo, taking over gaming in 2025.

I mean, there's a lot of stuff we have in store. Some I can't even talk about. I ain't that about it.

Some I can't even talk about, but, you know, you got a lot of stuff coming down to pipeline. You know what I mean? Notorious, the masses is going to be fed. Let's just put it like that. So, yeah, with that being said, let's get into the first topic of the notorious mass of fake episode 151, which is of course me diving into the goat and his marketing rollout for Iceman. Now, when it comes to the accolades that I give Drake as far as being the goat, the mascot of hip hop, that goes without saying. So there's no need me to state it again, right? So anyways, Drake currently

is showcasing why a marketing rollout is very effective for any artist. as Drake being one of the top artists in the world, currently having, what did I miss, being the eighth most played track in the world. Nokia is the 31st most played track in the world, been on the charts about 22 weeks. But safe to say when it comes to party next door and Drake and their album, that is still the 18th most played project in the world. Drake is one of the top artists in the world. So with that being said, if he's going to put out music and given an actual effective marketing rollout. I believe we can see some of the biggest first week numbers that we've ever seen for

Drake. And don't let him attach vials to it. If you don't know, the reason why hip-hop artists don't really try vials before the project comes out, it's because of people leaking music. If you get a vinyl, if you're working at a certain place and the vinals come in, best believe I'm not saying everybody's going to do this who works at warehouses. somebody's going to get the hands on one of those vials and then just so happens now it's out on the internet so as far as hip hop I don't know why but seems like it's the only genre where this happens frequently I'm not saying it doesn't happen in other genres but in hip hop it happens way more often than you would think so that being said of course I've listened to which one by Drake and Central C I believe this particular track is something that I talked about all the way in Iceman episode one. Now, of course, like I always say, the information I get, you know,

I just, I just made it up. Honestly, I don't know how I got this. But when it came to Iceman episode one all the way back July 4th, 2025, I literally had a specific segment titled Face First by Drake. Now, there was a whole driving route that Drake was doing and he was playing music throughout. and interestingly enough one of the beasts was just an instrumental and he was just rapping over it I mean he was singing over it you know he was saying face first face first face first

and I thought to myself this is the next single if you don't believe me just go to Drake analytic dreams and it should pop up as far as my Iceman episode one coverage and I call that all the way back in July 4th now I thought it was pretty obvious

obviously not people was focusing on what what did I miss in Supermax which I also focused on that and when it comes to Iceman episode one I'm just going to come out and say it was leaps and bounds ahead of Iceman episode two it seemed like episode one was the first impression obviously so he wanted to go all out episode two he was being chased by Pinocchio I kid you not you guys see that's the problem so when it comes to that um I just focused on the music I thought it was pretty solid it's as a single we'll have to see how it does i do believe drake calling out billboard as far as not having number one is very tone death uh tone deaf it's like drake doesn't realize he's suing his own label

is he the only one on his team that doesn't realize he sent a lawsuit towards umg's way claiming them of using illegal practices like paola so now if you're trying to blow up the whole music industry That may be how any artist pops off. People are going to be upset and they're not going to promote your music like that. So if you're authentically getting number two, which is still a significant accomplishment, I said when Drake was complaining about number one, when I was looking at future projections, I was like, he better be glad if he could stay in the top 10, which currently, like I just said, as far as his singles being considered, what did I miss?

Is that number eight? So it's way harder than you think to have. a top tier hit staying the top five and the way that you do that is literally having airplay if you don't know where airplay is it's basically the radio things of that nature and the syndication over airwaves and with that being said uh drake doesn't have a lot of it to be exact because i just want to let you know how less support drake is getting compared to other tracks um let me see what did i miss where did i miss is currently getting well this is 14.4 million airplay but I want to talk about that that's future projections for

August 2nd I want to talk about now so it's July 26 okay let me see all right so what did I miss number eight it has 9.7 million airplay and then when it comes to Alex Warren and his track ordinary Alex Warren has 74.0 so basically 74 million airplay for his track ordinary. You guys. See, that's the problem. So when I put in perspective on why Drake shouldn't complain about the industry, is because you turned into Aubrey Cairn.

You are telling on the music industry, they don't like it. So what you're seeing as far as, well, what the fans are seeing from an outside perspective is the first time we've ever seen Drake without his superheroes to back him up. You know how the Avengers comes up, come out as a group. And they take out Ultron or they take out Thanos. Well, now Drake is all by himself. He is like Captain America at the end of endgame, except ain't nobody coming to save him. So we're going to see if he could really withstand the assault of a UMG lawsuit battle.

Radio stations trying to be hands off with Drake because you're trying to blow up their spot. There's a lot of things that Drake is doing that is indeed the red button. This is the red button Drake was talking about. Whenever I was thinking to myself, I was like, why would he think that's a red button? Oh, it's because everybody's paying for play, allegedly. So now, if you actually win and you actually expose that whole system, there's a lot that needs to be reconstructed to even have a music industry. So people are paying for play.

Where have we heard that before? You guys. See, that's the problem. So with that being said, it's a very bigger problem. that Drake has and it was it will not be resolved until the UMG lawsuit is over so that being said my personal review of the which one track by Drake and Central C i will say i enjoyed it my favorite part was listening to uh central C repeat which one which one because his accent um combining with the beat i think there that was a match made in heaven because that was definitely his type of beat to float over

And when Drake came back on with his track face first, which is like the second half of which one, I thought that was pretty solid. The main thing I like is that it's solid music. It's nothing that feels uninspired. He gave us a rapping track, more melodic that what did I miss had. And then of course you gave us a dance hall Afrobeast type of track with which one feature in Central C. And now you're going to give us a certain track that's going to be filled. with hard hitting bars. And let's just say a lot of people

are going to catch some strays. I know that ain't who I think it is. Y'all going to be listening to Drake say some of the things that he says on his next track and y'all going to think to yourself. I know that ain't who I think it is. And, you know, my sources are I made it up, obviously. You know, my sources are just, I made it up.

But ultimately, when I was right about the face first track, as far as Iceman, episode one, and that being a legit snippet, and sneak peek into this Iceman episode two. It's funny how there's another instrumental that he obviously let play without lyrics for a reason. And I think, I just think we may just hear the hard hitting and the revelations

that the lyrics showcase whenever it comes out in Iceman episode three. So with that being said, click my link to my bio. Let me know one of my social media is. what do you think about Drake and his track which one featuring Central Sea do you think is fire do you think it's trash what do you think about the whole industry not really giving Drake the radio support that he usually gets before he sued his label and what is your favorite track out of which one and what did I miss?

As of all of us right here I want to let you know you've changed our lives immensely we've been able to do things for our family for our kids for our friends that we would have never imagined we appreciate you taking your harder money that you work your motherfucking ass off every day for

oh the cursing job you got and buying tickets and streaming songs and doing whatever you got to do London you are one of one place I will love you for the rest of my life thank you for three of the best days of my life get home safe good night now ladies and gentlemen

that is what Drake said right after bringing our vibes cartels and when it comes the vibes cartel, safe to say, this man showed the most love for Drake, saying, quote, IDA, IDGAF. There's a PG podcast, so I'm not going to let you know what that stands for.

IDGAF, if you like us, because God loves us. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? You know, every single month after month, it comes to my attention that what side seven did ultimately the ramifications are being lessened with time and ultimately

the whole track list the whole feature list i meant as far as the entire wireless festival is beyond fantastic as you have everybody in a mama popping out for night one night two night three to the point where drake shut down wireless festival three different nights had three entirely different vibes. And of course, for the first night, impressively bringing out Lauren Hill. And then surprisingly bringing out Vanessa Carlton at the end of night two. And then of course, night three brought out the one and only vibes cartel.

As if he didn't know, this is his first time in 20 years since his 13-year prison sentence that he was in UK performing. And he did not disappoint as when it comes to Vibs Cartel, he performed and delivered a 90-minute set with his like, picture this, romping shot with Spice. Also brought out Molly for the track I remember covering back in June 13th of this year, which was the Shake It to the Max Fly remix.

He basically had her perform that. if you didn't know the other artists on that track is silent addie skillabang and shensia but as far as molly he brought her out for that performance and safe to say when it comes to 90 minutes vibes cartel filled it up with pun intended vibes as ultimately it was very interesting because when you look at the people that drake brought out for the wireless festival you come to realize that these artists have immense respect for drake not only is he one of the most streamed artists of all time. So of course, yes, you have that incentivized factor as far as showing up to his concert.

But these type of posts, where did it go? Was it that post? Yeah. These type of posts right here, you don't have to do this if your vibes cartel. You don't have to say, I don't care if you're like us because God loves us. Best believe a lot of hip-hop artists out here playing the middle. And they're not going to be coming out and saying stuff like, we don't care. Well, they're not going to be making anything that's a play.

off of not like us in support of Drake and here vibes cartel is literally showcasing the highest support for Drake which is insane because guess what people in his own genre would care less would care less to do the same now of course they don't have to but it showcases how when it comes to Drake in his ultimate stature in hip hop from the outside perspective some people got to let them know that Drake is the top performer in your league it's like if lebron got all the hate from every single NBA player, right? If, like, LeBron was getting hate from Steph Curry, K.D., who else, Janice, Shea, if they was all hating on LeBron, like, for no reason,

and then you come to realize that from an outside perspective, people in baseball, people in soccer, people in F1, when they look at hip-hop, they look at Drake. So if he's a representative and he's giving out all these alle-ups, Isn't that what you want? You know what I'm saying? Sometimes I think to myself, I'm like, man, if I could choose to have one person at the top of the game, who would I choose? And how would I want him to act?

Drake is exactly how I would want the number one, statistically speaking, the number one performer analytically to act, given out Alley Upps left and right. I don't care if it's fake. The feature ain't fake. the multiple features he gives out the underground artist isn't fake as for bats if his face as lotto if is fake a lot of these artists in hip hop i'm not going to say are ungrateful but side seven getting his first tour and then to turn around in 2025 and call him a whole pedophile it's just a lot of conversations to be had maybe i'm just out of the loop on how this cultivated right but i just think a lot of the al-a-yupes drake gives being on top of the game and something that does not need to happen when j z

the ball when he literally had the whole label in the palm of his hand and he said he was going to retire and guess what happened when he came back from retirement a lot of rappers that was doing damage on that label got put on shelves because guess what it's j z's time ain't no more handhouse there's no handouts happening i don't care if i am the overview of the label and y'all look at me as a boss y'all album is getting put on the shelf while i get all the shine nobody's getting jZ features nobody's getting the time of day while I run the game. So when it comes to that, I'm not saying that Drake's,

I'm not saying that hip hop is in better hands with Drake than it is with Jay-Z. Ultimately, I am saying that Jay-Z did have title that he said was for us, and he sold it to the white man. Now, that's just a fact. You can look it up. At the end of day, Jay-Z did sell title to a white man. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop.

Like, what's going on? So I went on a little tangent. I don't know if I could tell. I went on a little tangent. I was literally, oh, I was talking about Vibs Cartel. So it wasn't, you know, it's kind of tangent adjacent. But Vibs Cartel showing this much respect to Drake should showcase the hip-hop field how people outside of the genre look at Drake

and his dominance and how he continues to carry the flag and be the mascot for hip-hop. Because analytically speaking, objectively, if you think about the top performing hip-hop for the past 10 to 20 years, it's been Drake. So really can't do too much about that as far as at this point. time. But yeah, so Night 3 was phenomenal. Drake went crazy, of course, even working in his work verse amid his feud with A set Rocky. And of course, T's new music with Central C, which I was the

first one to talk about that as well. When Face First was getting preview during the Iceman episode one, everybody was focusing on what did I miss in Supermax? Ain't nobody noticed that he was playing a whole, I feel like it was like a one dance type beat and he was literally saying the words that's going to be on the beat instead of there was no vocals. It was just instrumental. But he was rapping and singing along to it and it sounded like a face first dance, a one dance type of track. That's what he kept saying face first, face first and kept like freestyle and he basically

had the chorus down. He was given a sneak peek in a very unique way. He wasn't just playing the finished record like he was with Supermax. He played the instrumental and he basically gave us the chorus and how it would go as he was driving in the truck and a lot of people just completely missed it but that's why you know notorious massive fact exists because when it comes to face first i covered that as soon as the episode came out and um i basically talked about how that has the biggest potential to be the most popular as far as uh when iceman comes out but you know i'm open to being wrong but we've seen with the performance that

central c is going to be on that track is a house vibe central c is going to be on it and it's titled face first so ultimately as far as A lot of people giving Drake his credit as far as Drake shutting down Wireless Fest for three nights straight. It's something that a lot of people can't do as far as going from R&B to a rap to a global list and they all have hits on it. Like not one night was starving for hits. A lot of these nights was filled with hits. You had come and see me day one, Marvin's room, feel no waves, hours in silence, jungle. jaded i mean we all know jada jada is like a crazy classic cian tower um oh and then he got to his latest

okay and then nights for what and then night two he went into his rap uh sensation went to sickle mode non-stop uh want to know with uh uk artist dave which we're not going to get into the uk versus you as artists let's just say drake was he was tripping a little bit with that so um nokea somebody loves me uh rich baby daddy knife talk rich rich flake Next, night three, Globe, it goes completely left from R&B and rap and goes completely worldwide as Face First is literally the first song that he showcased with that worldwide appeal as far as Iceman episode one. And now we come to realize that Central Sea is going to be on the track supposedly as far as what the wireless festival showed, as far as Central Sea being on the track and rapping along to it. Now, he could always get taken off because the album's out. not out yet they could always have a falling out but as right now since you see is on the face first

track then you have come closer brings out pop-con then you have who told you signs controller find your love work passion fruit i mean these are just straight undeniable hits and he switched genres completely every single night so anyways before you guys i'm doing uh tricks on it you guys see that's the problem essentially i've just letting you know that drake is doing phenomenal as far as showcasing why in and why he will continue to be the mascot and just the goat of hip hop. So that being said, click my link to you in my bio,

let me know in one of my social media. What do you think about vibes cartel, giving Drake that absolute most, the highest praise you could give as far as a musician co-signing him and the turmoil of his beef, literally making the flip off of, you know, the pedophile anthem against him

and saying that, you know, God loves us, you know what I'm saying? So at the end of the day, click my link, tree, my bio let me know one of my social media is what do you think about Drake shutting down wireless for three nights straight and ultimately what was your favorite moment that you've seen on the internet or in person if you went at uh when it comes to Drake at the Wireless Festival for 2025. Now of course getting into the Lauren Hill section of the Wireless Festival because if he didn't know,

Drake brought out everybody in a mama to shut down the Wireless Festival for not one. not two but three nights in wireless he brought out this list of of artists analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio because essentially when you're looking at this list and you're realizing the immense respect Drake still has in the game of music you come to realize that he may just be all right as far as everybody coming out whether it's Lauren Hill 21 Savage Vanessa Carlton I know right very random skepta Central C Dave Yee, party next door, Bryson Tiller, Rema, Vibes Cartel, the iconic Vibes Cartel, PopCon, sexy red, lotto. I mean, there's a lot of names on here that you could just talk about as far as who specifically came out to show love for Drake and his appearance at Wireless Festival.

Because if you don't know, essentially speaking, Wireless Festival was in Finsbury Park in London. Drake took that opportunity to say some other things as far as UK versus American rappers, but we're not going to focus on that right now. As far as Drake and Lauren Hill, this was a very interesting collab on stage because who would have predicted this type of collab? Because, of course, when it comes to Nice for what, I believe it samples Lauren Hill. Let me see, nice for what? Because if I'm not mistaken.

I think that's apparent, because I know what Vanessa, Carlton that was just a random feature as far as night two but night one samples Lauren Hill's X factor from a 1998 album the miseducation of Lauren Hill so when it comes to nights for wet we already know that Drake's mammoth of a hit nice for what and how that went crazy of 2018 so to see her on stage on time mind you so for all the Lauren Hill haters out there she was on time and she was on time at the at the essence festival but y'all Y'all disrespected the queen, but we ain't going to talk about that. So anyways, when comes to Lauren Hill getting her respect at the Wireless Festival,

some would say, I didn't even know she was still making music. Well, ladies and gentlemen, she's technically not making music. But at the end of the day, she did just perform at the Essence Festival. She has a lot more events coming up, I believe, because when it comes to, she's been performing with Dochi, I believe. that happened like March 8th and as far as in the future she continues the tour with the scheduled concert in Sayo Paulo in 2025 so I don't know exactly where that is I ain't going to cap to you know geography is not my strong suit uh strong suit y'all should know what that is best off me saying it

I mean if you live there so so it comes to Lauren Hill I believe she should have her dates up if not then definitely a missed opportunity so I do not see dates so that's cool that's cool This is an official account too. So whatever. So anyways, she was basically clarifying the whole Essence festival situation because if you don't know, she got entirely disrespectful to the point where she had to come out and give a whole statement, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. Lauren here essentially said, thank you, thank you Essence for clarifying that the delays were not my fault. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, Tim, look at the state of hip hop.

Like, what's going on? Warren Hill had to put those rumors and those consistent rumors to bed because she had she had enough. She had it up to here with y'all saying that she always showed up late. So this was Essence Festival's fault. So she came out on the IG post and said, thank you, Essence, for clarifying that the delays were not my fault. Family, comma, let me address a few things. You already know when they say that, something's about to get broken down in a way you couldn't even imagine. So let's continue. I am involved in every aspect of what it takes to put on my shows,

comma, because it requires that much involvement to protect the integrity of my message and the quality of what I do, period. And for this reason, I rehearse and arrange the music diligently with my band, another period. I am involved in every aspect. of design, preparation, and production of my shows, while also being a parent, grandparent, and steward to my immediate family and community. While some get to focus on a single disciplinal category, shade, my role requires that I have eyes everywhere and contribute to most, if not every department, and more.

Ladies and gentlemen Goes on to write a whole dissertation So we're not right We're not reading out the rest of that But you know essentially speaking Essus festival let her down But I'm glad that the goat The mascot of hip hop

Could bring out Lauren Hill Shortly after that To showcase all the immense Love and flowers That she should receive Especially being on stage Given some of the greatest Hip Hop bodies of work to date

So that being said That was night one as far as Lauren Hill being brought out and basically shutting down the whole festival because who would have thought that Lauren Hill was going to come out on such short notice. So that was very impactful. And ultimately, now we're about to get into night too because as far as this not being as surprising because she was sample for nights for what that was the 2018 hit for Drake. This next one that we're about to get into was beyond surprising.

So let's get into that one right now. Thank you to the one and all. Only Champagne Poppy. And because I'm reading this for Vanessa Carlton's voice, I got to let y'all know that, but also just to be safe, I got to throw a pause in there. You guys. See, that's the problem.

Anyways, reading the rest of this message from Vanessa Carlton. Thank you, Champaign Poppy, for inviting me to be a part of his show. And for the sweet introduction, I am so moved and have been a fan since. the beginning. And thanks to everyone behind the scenes that pull this off for us. So now I can personally recommend Drake's fabulous Wireless Fest experience. You have one night left. Don't sleep. And they should put a capital X. I don't know what that means. Put two more X and Kendrick just might pop up. But anyways, with that being said, the thing that threw me off the most about this is that

there was no comments on this video now I'm not saying anything right I'm just saying 8,000 likes that's a lot of likes for no comments but that's just me that's just me you know what I'm saying I ain't trying to say none I thought this was a fake account at first it's the actual Vanessa Carlton account and ultimately I was just making an astute observation anyways that being said night two from the goat the mascot of hip hop concluded all the way back in July 12th in Finsbury Park, London, when Drake shut down the Wireless Festival for three nights street.

First night, R&B type vibe, bringing out Givion, Mario, Bobby V, you know, the usual, you feel me? The second night bringing out Lotto, bringing out 21 Savage. Oh, yeah, I had to make sure. Bringing out 21 Savage, bringing out K-Trap. Nobody even know who that is, but bet you he's rapping about that trap life. And then ultimately, sexy red out here doing cartwheels, twerking while Drake is running a 40-yard dash to get behind that twerk win. And at the end of the night, Vanessa Carlton pops up.

Now, I'm thinking myself, ain't no way. This man that has sexy red twerking for no reason. Lotto out here looking like a whole snack. 21 Savage out here looking like him and Lotto ain't together. another home my fault let me chill skepta dave looking like they agree with drake saying that uk rappers are the best in the world and then now you have venice of carlter out here giving a remix for a thousand miles i mean goodness gracious but then you know what i'm saying i was like damn look at the state of hip-hop like what's going on now usually fomo doesn't kick in for me because

i believe i saw drake at a very prime time in his career when he just put out back to back and that was a pivotal moment because essentially speaking um in the career of drake let's just say publicly he hasn't won that many superstar like rap battles i mean there's pushy tea there's kentry i think he's won a lot a lot from a lyrical standpoint because nobody don't want to talk about how he went a conier and then pushy tea had to speak up nobody want to talk about all the the bodies he just laid out in the street as far as rick ross as far as as as as sap rocky as far as leland Wayne, I mean, Metro booming, as far as demon, I mean future. You know, so many bodies and everybody just wants to focus on the pedophile anthem.

Anyways, the reason I say that is because I think it was a prime time to watch Drake performing that back-to-back, especially all the way back when he was putting out views. Because remember, he ended back-to-back like, oh, okay, now I could put out views. And I think views was phenomenal. No matter what crack, I mean, no matter what old head Joe Button said about views, is ultimately one of the better albums that Drake has put out back in 2016. Uh, 2016. So, um, for Night 2, when he's getting back into his rap bag,

and of course, he talks about some of the nonstop tracks, the Sickle mode, uh, what else he had? He had one to know with Dave, which I think is an underrated track as far as a UK artist and Drake. I think that's one of the better tracks that he has with a UK artist. And then after that, he brought out Central Sea, but Vanessa Carlton, Let's focus on her. So if you don't know, you know, besides her hit, a thousand miles that came out,

um, when does, when did a thousand miles come out? So a thousand miles, let me see, a thousand miles. When did it just come out? So this essentially, this essentially came out 2002. Goodness gracious. I was two years old when this was a hit. So, um, that's insane. I ain't going to kept to you.

But anyway, uh, yeah, a thousand miles is a huge hit. but it's very um it's very you know as far as the correlation between the the features and Vanessa Carlton I would say it's very a is obtuse angle is that the right way to phrase it the way that Vanessa Carlton came out and the other features it wasn't really no correlation there between like you know you go from party next door to Lotto you know that kind of makes sense you go from Lotto to sexy red oh that definitely makes sense you go from sexy red to 21 Savage and you mine as well just throw on to be right And then you go for 21 Sabbath to Vanessa Carlton and then now we're looking like,

hold up, man. Ain't no way you just brought out all these trap artists. And now we got Vanessa Carlton singing in a thousand miles. But that's exactly what happened for night two. So that's essentially what I wanted to get into. When it comes to Drake, I think he's just showcasing his immense respect that he's garnered in the music industry. As if you can see right here, Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. But as you can see right here,

these are all the artists that came out in the entire performance. So if this is not a jampack list of just straight legends and if people at their wireless festival say they didn't get their money's worth no matter what night they went to, I think they're absolutely lying. But, you know, everybody's experience is a little different. So that's what I wanted to focus on. And more specifically, that's what I want to talk about as far as for night two.

I wanted to get more to Vanessa Carlton, but she really doesn't have a lot going on. There's some type of lawsuit going on with her nose. neighbors. That's literally how they said it. So it's definitely white people business going on right now. Because what type of, you know, that's the stuff that, you know, some Johnny Depp type lawsuit. Well, it's just like, hold on now. We're supposed to care about this? How about y'all just take care of y'all first world problems and we'll get back to her music? So nothing really going on in the Carlton world. She's just going through a lawsuit. Nothing too crazy. Noise and neighbors are obstructing their home or whatever, home studio. Very, very, very, um,

very caring like activities. That ain't a lot to you. So anyways, with that being said, click my link, sure in my bio. Let me know on one of my social media. What do you think about Drake bringing out Vanessa Carlton and iTunes? And at the end of the day, what was your favorite track in the entire set list of Drake at the Wireless Festival for three nights straight?

We was back and forth down streamline. Moving weight was like LIPO. The rest of y'all stuck in a rut. People double crossing talking behind your back. See, that's where the knife go. I guess they wasn't messing with us. Some people get the luck of the draw for others. Life is a dice road.

And waiting on faith ain't for us. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? Now, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you one thing. When it comes to those type of bars, it is layered all over this project. Because usually, I do not give reviews. use for albums. I usually let people hear my coverage of the analytics success on the billboards

and things of that nature because I usually gauge consumption compared to the superstars in the industry. But this is a full-blown review because I like this project that much. As far as rap is one of my favorite projects. I will say Russ and his album Wilde is still my favorite rap project in 2025. But Pusha T and Malice, what they did. as a group as far as clips and this album let god sort them out is beyond phenomenal and especially this being the first clips album in 15 years and having legends like side seven i mean kensi kentemar having legends like naz having legends like john legend pun intended tyler the creator the dream getting the dream to give you vocals i

I think Beyonce has him locked away and not a dungeon. You know, the thing that she, you know how to talk, people talk about the OVO sweatshop and how Drake has ghost riders in the basement or whatever. Whatever Beyonce has the dream locked up, let's just say is more upscale than a basement. She has them locked away in a five-star mansion, writing all the hits possible for Beyonce, right? So I think the dream's pin is maybe the best pin in the name. music industry and I've always grew up like I didn't grow up on a dream because you know he's older but as far as listening to his music I always really respected the dreams music and then he

just stopped and then come to realize he'd been writing for Beyonce since then so ultimately some people like fame some people would take the money without the fame I'm definitely one of those people if there's some way where somebody else could be talking I could be behind the scenes like the dream and making money that would be the the perfect scenario because really fame is overrated it's all about the fetichini and safety as far as for that the dream has both because best believe writing for bianca brings in a lot of dollars for him and all he has to do is sit behind the scene and write phenomenal lyrics for bianca so anyways getting back into other phenomenal writers what the what push it to your malice did on this album is beyond phenomenal i

I mean, when it comes to the album, is not even that long. It's 13 tracks, 40 minutes, and length, straight bars, and filled with some of the best hip-hop beats you've heard in your life. And I say that with all sincerity, because when it comes to recency bias, you could probably be thinking, well, this album just came out Friday. Why would you give it some time? after listening to chains and whips after listening to Fico after listening to P-O-V

especially the beat flip when Malice hops on the beat you come to realize that Farrell was beyond in his Louie when he made this album this man was ultimately lacing the clips

with some of the greatest hip-hop beats of all time but then you know what I'm saying I was like damn look at the state of hip-hop like what's going on? And then some of my favorite hard-hitting tracks from this project is definitely FICO, which I already read off the lyrics at the beginning of this segment.

The second one would probably be POV. I really like that track. And then the third, it's hard because I really like replayability. From a quality standpoint, I think the birds don't sing as top two. But from a replayable standpoint, it's probably the least replayable. It's because, you know, it's such a hard-hitting message. So, you know, if you're in the case, card writing i would definitely throw on fika if you're in the car writing i definitely would not

throw on the birds don't sing because the chorus is phenomenal shout out to john legend for that but when it comes to the message and then realizing that malice and pusha t are brothers right sometimes that gets lost in translation you probably think of like man pusha t really has different vocal inflection throughout this entire project and then you come to realize malice is his brother so they sound similar there's a reason why sometimes you can't tell when the other is rapping because they sound exactly the same because they're brothers so now when they make a song about their parents passing away uh with the with a short um interlude between i guess interlude is definitely an sense of this wrong word but as far as a short time

span between each other passing away that is very impactful on not only push it but also malice because once again they're brothers that just so happened to be able to put words together at a mat on a master class level as far as lyrical content so another thing i wanted to say Sean Carter was invited for this album apparently push a T sent him chains and whips and I think that was the only track he sent him chains and whips and there was another track he sent him I think it was the the acronym track the mtbtTF I forget what that stands for it but he said both of those tracks to jZ jZ did not show up now I don't think it was like oh forget these guys It was basically probably maybe Jay-Z was busy, right?

Or, you know, now I get my messy brain, right? Pause, you know what I'm saying? You guys. But at the end of the day, I do believe Jay-Z heard some of the lyrical vitriol that was being spewed all over this album, and he probably said to himself, I know that ain't who I think it is. Pharrell Williams, push a T, and who? I know that ain't who I think it is.

All going crazy on every single one of these tracks on this project. you know what let me just bow out because guess what i think of j z would have hopped on this track i'm not saying that he's rusty or anything because he did give us the phenomenal verse on god did but pushy and malice i think would have gave j z such a run for his money that maybe just maybe j z felt like his verse wouldn't have been up to snuff when compared to push a tea and malice at the state of hip hop like what's going on now ultimately that's a hot take right but at the end of day that's how i truly feel j z push a tea has always been close i don't think he has any animosity towards these people i think he probably just heard the project heard the tracks that they sent him

especially chains and whips like you heard that kendrick came on like pause i mean come on now you guys see that's the problem but you heard how kindrick approached the beat let's just say like that and basically took a lot of inspiration on how malice and pushes he approached to be as far as the very interesting um tone that they went with very um maniacal and uh villain like it's like if um the joker and the riddler started rapping as far as kendrick he had to really uh replicate that type of villain energy on chains and whips and i'm not saying that j z didn't have it in him i'm just saying that maybe just maybe he's a little afraid of the competition. Now, of course, that's just me being funny. But at the end of day,

I could see that being a reason why he didn't send in his verse in time because he probably was trying to punch up his verse. Um, Jay-Z does one take. So I don't know. But, you know, as far as him being out of the game and giving a verse every other year, he probably wanted to punch up his verse a little bit to make it up to snuff. Because here, push a tee and malice is like basically combating one another over the entire project and people who are not Lyrics don't understand that when you have another lyric is way harder to make a verse. Because now if you hear their verse and your verse is straight inferior to theirs, like not even close, then you got to redo your verse. So I'm not saying that Jay-Z ran into that problem.

I'm just saying that he was probably trying to punch up his verse to a certain quality level that he felt was deserving to be on this project. And that's how I would put it, because this is one of the best rap projects that I've heard in a minute. And Pusha T has the cheat code in hip-hop. this is the last thing i'm gonna say because it's not an in-depth review i don't even do reviews of albums anymore so me just straight talking about my personal listening session of this album is is not common so uh when his album came out it made me realize it's almost dry had ferell williams and conier west production daytona had conier west production no matter what people say about how trash it was still had conier west production all that

over it. So from 2018 to 2025, you telling me you had Kanye Wester Ferrell Williams producing your beats. Ladies gentlemen, that's the greatest cheat code in hip-hop history. Do y'all not know that a beat, a phenomenal beat, is half the battle. Not to sound like G.I. Joe, but literally if you don't have a phenomenal beat, you've already lost half the battle. And it's an uphill battle from there. If you're working with some of the worst beats known the man, that little way, y'all know that the verse. on that elephant beat was fire and don't let nobody else tell you differently because little wayne was spinning straight heat on that entire album but when it comes to the elephant beat everybody killed it why

because that's half the battle and so since you lost that it's already an uphill battle and even little way couldn't overcome the setback of the elephant beat so now if you have connie west if you have Ferrell Williams type production. Safe to say that's the biggest cheat code and hip hop. But Push-a-T and Malice, well, specifically Push-A-T, consistently gets these type of production level, these high-level beats because he can rap. So when the beat happens and it's phenomenal because Ferrell Williams or Kanye West, Push-a-T is such a phenomenal lyricist that he consistently gets.

them to cook up live to give them these type of beats because the respect they have for his pen is unmatched it's almost like the dream pin but in the rap game that's how pushy t is perceived as far as his lyrical content i mean just look how he did my favorite artist you know what i'm saying the story the story of adadon to this day is one of those ptsy type memories that uh world war two veterans have when they wake up at the middle of the night in a cold sweat right we just think story of adadon And we automatically start thinking, oh, my goodness, I can't believe push your teeth that did that to my favorite artists. Like, it's really crazy. You know, there's no, there's no comparison to what side seven did.

But, you know, of course, that's why he showed up on this project. He's like, hey, I just did what I just did to him what you did. Hey, we should, you know what I'm saying? And that's how it basically happened. But obviously, not exactly how it happened. But I think they took joy in that both of them completely mutilated, you know, the Canadian verbally. So with that being said, the Chains of Whips track is one of the standouts. I already said FICO, P-O-V is some of my favorites off of the project.

Fico, I'm not going to say by far, the entire project is super fire. Definitely one of my favorite projects of the year. As far as a deep dive, I would probably be here for an hour just breaking this down. So I just definitely want to give my personal review of it. And as y'all, well, first, click my link to your bio, let me know on one of my social medias. What do you all think of the Pusha T album? Well, the Clips album, let God sort them out.

And if you've listened to the project, what is your favorite track off of? Let God sort them out. Now, of course, Bieber Veeber, aka Justin Bieber, went to Instagram to post a lot of cryptic messages, whether we have the HQ billboard images, and then we have personal family photos with Haley and their baby, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because of course there's been a lot of references there's a lot of building narrative narratives and anticipation for this now what seemingly is going to be an entire project titled swag now of course it could just be a track but if you do not know justin beaver hasn't put out an album since

2021. Ladies and gentlemen, Justin Bieber has not put out an album and entire project since 2021. So that being said, his last album did sell 159,000 units first week, but it's an interesting trend with Justin Bieber, which is why I think this break happened. 2010 with My World 2.0, which everybody knows as far as back in 2009, it encapsulated. captivating all of the youth back when that came out had around 283,000 first week. Then he had under the mistletoe, which was in 2011. That sold 210,000 first week. So a little bit of a dip from 2010 to 2011.

But then he came back in 2012 with his album Believe, and that sold a whopping 374,000 first week. Three years later, of course, the album that had. solidified his status his status in a music game is one of the most iconic artists ever as far as him putting up five hundred and twenty two thousand units first week with his album purpose his most popular album to date as far as first week sales now of course when it comes to singles a lot of people know him for for a baby that's diamond certified of course uh hits like sorry hits like stay with the kidlerori when it comes to the grimmies he's a two-time grammy winner i mean there's a lot of things we can get into justin bieber i mean did you know that he had the most streamed track and he also has the most streamed album on spotify as far as the record in one week in the most simultaneous tracks on billboard hot 100 by a solo artist safe to say justin biever is a big deal outside of his projects i just want to let you know that he hasn't put out an album since 2021 ladies and gentlemen it is

2025 and safe to say the landscape of music is showing that a lot of different genres are being played to the point where we have a k-pop album that i've been covering extensively as far as on this podcast that's currently the third most played project in the world talking about k-pop demon hunter soundtrack so when it comes to jason beaver i'm looking at the overall analytics and i'm thinking to myself will he debut at number one because it was a huge drop off. You realize that I haven't even talked about 2020 and 2021. So after his most successful album as far as purpose back in 2015, you come to realize changes in 2020 had a first week sale of 231,000. A huge drop off. And it was a five-year

weight. What in the world? Jesse Bieber probably looking at his phone like, I thought y'all said y'all love me. Y'all out here talking about baby, baby 30 times, 30 million trillion times over. And here we are in 2020 a five-year hiatus and we dropped by over 200,000 in first week sales you guys see that's the and then not only that but then to follow that up the next year because you probably think it to himself you just like hold up man let me give them something else because maybe maybe they just wasn't gravitating to them to the music so as far as changes he doubled back he was like y'all don't like that here's another one he gave us justice in 2021 a back-to-back release he didn't do this He hasn't done that since his trilogy run as far as my world under the mistletoe and

believe as far as back-to-back years with him dropping the project. He dropped Justice and don't you know, justice ended up being his lowest first week sales ever with 154,000, well 159,000 depending on who you ask. So when it comes to that, Justin Bieber is obviously not hurting for a hit. Having a diamond record in general is already enough. to feed your family and then some. Justin Bieber has multiple of those. So now, if you're looking at Justin Bieber from an analytical standpoint,

Morgan Wallen is currently running the charts as far as having the most played project in the world with his album titled, I'm the Problem. But the problem with that is, are you going to be able to surpass his 170,000 mark that he keeps putting up time and time again? It is July 10th, 2025, and Morgan Wallen has had the number one project, in the world since May 16th. I mean, you've had Benson Boone come out. You've had Lord come out.

Carol G. They thought she was going to get the number one album at some point. A lot of these artists who are putting out albums and have huge fan bases, mind you. Because the reason I cover analytics is really just to give you a gauge on consumption as far as the artists, the superstars being compared. Because it puts into perspective. on who is the most dominant currently now of course all time justin beavers discography washes all of these artists as far as analytically we're talking about currently who's currently

high that's why i go over the charts just to let you know consumption but i say all the time when it comes to say and people who've listened to the podcast you already know what i'm about to say but i have to keep beating this point home because i cover the chart so much that i have to reiterate this statement every time just because you sell a lot does not mean you you make high quality and just because you don't sell a lot is not mean you're making utter garbage the two don't correlate sometimes it does most times it does not there's a lot of people behind these artists corner that once you get into the music industry you come to realize if you don't have so-and-so in your corner you're just not going to do the numbers that these artists who have that backing do now of course

you do have to be talented to a certain level but once that machine gets behind you there's a reason why independent labels and independent artists have a whopping 8% of the music market share. UMG has 60%, Warner Music Group has 17%, Sony Music Entertainment has 15%. Others, which is smaller labels and independents combined, have 8% of the market. Now, why is that? That's because if you have a machine behind you, it's like a puzzle, right? if you have a major machine behind you, you need 100 puzzle pieces to be put together. A major machine takes away 60 of those.

If you're independent, you got to put that whole puzzle piece together by yourself. And of course, it's possible. We've seen it happen before, and then the marketing machine gets behind it. But at some point, to get to the heights to get 100% of that puzzle complete, which is like number one in the world, you have to have a major label. Russ currently is the only artist who's an independent. that has an album in the top 10 because wild currently is the eighth most play project in the world and that's under tune core which is probably helping that overall market share as far as

independent well it's probably helping the overall market share as far as the 8% right is 8% and one of the artists actually have a top 10 album should showcase how rare that is for independent to have that much success right every other artist in the top 25th as far as the most play projects is under a major label so that being said the reason why say that is because obviously Justin Bieber's under a major label now with him putting out this album it's going to say a lot because he's been going through some interesting um social media antics as far as from a public perspective um the way that the public's been going at him the way that they've claimed he's been acting with his wife is none of my business but as far as you know um

Music wise, I wonder if he's going to put that into his album swag, because you never know how people are going to be receptive to you saying certain things if a certain divorce or breakup happens, right? Because I don't think it will, but, you know, a lot of people enjoy the music more when they know the artists live in that life, right? That's why it's very toxic. It's why a lot of your favorite artists you want to break up or whatever, because now they're incentivized to give you the greatest R&B or rap music ever, because now they've been

heartbroken or now they just been broken in any type of way and they can put it into the music so with jesson beber and his wife haley beaver and his son being all that throughout the covers i think it's going to be more of a family album which is completely different to the way that the media which goes back to how media can cover you and make you look in a certain uh make you look a certain way um the way that the family proponent is pushed in this marketing strategy i'm not going to say an album titled swag is going to be the most introspective, but it could be. Like, we haven't heard it yet. Maybe he titled the album Swag and everything about it is wholesome, right?

So with that being said, some of the reported collaborators as far as Justin Bieber being in both Iceland and Los Angeles during April 2025 is a rumor. So take with a grain of salt. but DJ Tay James long time DJ Harve which is a musical director Carter Lane which is a Siza collaborator which technically if Sizz is on tour and you have somebody who collaborated with Siza um well actually I don't know because I don't know how deep I don't know how deep Carter Lang is into the Siza hive or not Siza Hive but into the Siza workshop as far as helping her out with certain deliveries of verses but uh cash Cobain gunna sexy red is

Eddie Benjamin, Australian artist, Seku, I don't even know I said that, a UK singer-songwriter, and these are all alleged. Dylan Wiggins, producer of I Wish You Roses by Kali Uchis and Die for You by the Weekend, and then other lesson on artists. But just though, this list came from his retreat to Iceland this year in April. It was jam sessions hosted by Bieber and both Iceland and Los Angeles. So it's a lot of things have been happening in the past, right? A lot of things to get into when you talk about Gunner,

when you talk about Justin Bieber, but the reason why I just misspoke and said Gunna is because we're going to continue this conversation with me covering the supposed track from Justin Bieber, which is him featuring Gunna and maybe even sexy red. So we're going to get into that coverage right now, and we're going to continue into that in the next segment. So when it comes to Justin Bieber, I've already went over all the accolades you needed to know in the overall album coverage as far as Justin Bieber swag.

So if you type in Swag, Analytic Dreams with the Z, it should pop up as far as me just putting immense respect on Justin Bieber's name. Now I want to get specifically more into the life of Justin Bieber currently in its current rollout. As with Gunna, with sexy red being a feature that people are saying might end up on the outside. album, safe to say the wheels start turning as far as who else could end up on this album. I do not believe, for one second, Drake will help anybody overcome him as far as the charts when he just put out a single. But if he did put out a feature on Justin Bieber's album, I could see him promoting it, but let's just say I made this fact up, right?

Let's just say I made this future what I'm about to say up. Like, you know what I mean? Maybe I just made this up. Justin Bieber was supposed to be on die trying. If Drake is a little salty and Justin Bieber wants to feature for his album swag, does it happen? Does it happen if the preceding events is truthful or if it's not truthful and I'm just making it up? Y'all just let me know.

But at any day, if somebody is a little salty, should they give you a verse for your album if you didn't do one for theirs? Even if you're Justin Bieber looking at Drake, right? So I don't know who's going to be featured on this album. It's easily going to be a top two album as far as the next week chart data. Will they be number one? That's a huge concern. Justice that was dropped as far as his last project sold $154,000 first week. But the thing with that is, it's been five years.

Actually, four. It's been four years since his last project, which was just. justice in 2021 that sold 154,000. So as far as the hiatus, safe to say that you should see some type of increase in streams as far as first week sales because you haven't put out a project in 2021. Now obviously, this man, Justin Bieber, has been active in the musical field because he put out a good amount of singles in between time as far as private landing, snooze, beautiful love, honest, I feel funny, up at night, attention. I'm just talking about his musical output.

Lonely Christmas with Bryson Taylor. Like he's been active. Well, actually, Lonely Christmas was in 2021. But you get the point. He hasn't been like completely silent. He's been putting out things. In Private Landing, I believe, was a very certified hit for quite some time. And Snooze with Cizzer, I cover that way before that even happened because they shot a music video and I believe it leaked or something like that.

So actually, let me see. When did I cover that? so Siza Siza Justin Beber I did remember covering that Let me see Siza

Okay let me just type her name here So you have Siza Oh yeah Sizan and Justin Bieber snooze Yeah here we go So I cover that all the way back in August 29th, 2023 Fast forward to 2025

I would not be surprised If Sizzers on this album Because When it comes to Siza and her having the seventh most played project in the world as far as SOS, I think Justin Bieber is going to need a superstar-like figure besides himself on his album if he wants to top the charts as far as Morgan Wallet. Now, analytics ain't everything, but as far as Justin Bieber,

to debut at number two, when I think consistently he's had number one, even with Justin selling $154,000 when it came out back in 2021. It still went number one because in that specific time, nobody put out an album that had more than 150,000 first week, right? But Morgan Wallen been running the chart since like May something, right? I remember I went over it in the last segment. Let me see. So May 16th.

May 16th, I do believe, no, I do believe, objectively speaking, Morgan Wallen has had the number one album, the number one most played project in the world. I'm talking about analytically, not quality. analytically speaking he's had the most played project in the world since may 16th currently he's doing around 170 000 each and every week if you look at justice it sold a 154 000 first week 2025 streaming has been seeing an interesting decrease so i'm not saying that he's going to sell less than justice in 2021 as far as 154 000 but i wouldn't be surprised if he comes close to

to beat in morgan wallet and just doesn't surpass him but i'm open to be wrong because he could have uh 2012 type of appeal when he had 374 000 just because of the long hiatus he took because a four-year hiatus is not the first time he's taken a hiatus purpose came out in 2015 changes came out in 2020 and he didn't see an increase which is bewildering to me and probably to him he took a five-year hiatus came back with his album changes after his most successful first week sales ever as far as his album purpose in 5522,000 and then he ended up after that five-year hiatus he ended up decreasing in first week sales to 231,000 so just because he took a huge hiatus does not mean that people are going to gravitate

more to his album which brings me back to the ultimate point where he continued his streak of having a number one album and with that being said now we're going to get into that's my coverage of justin b the swag album that may or may not be releasing at midnight or maybe it's just a single now we're going to get into the go of hip-hop which is aubrey drake graham as i do believe i want him on this project so now we're going to continue my coverage and just talk about why i want drake yes like big sean said everything comes back to drake and i want him on this album so we're going to get into why in the next segment now ladies and gentlemen first i have to let you know drake is my favorite musician on planet Earth.

So without that out the way, obviously me getting into my wants and needs for this particular collab to happen has to be at this very moment because if Justin Bieber puts out a project and Drake is not on it and I'm left with the right here track from 2012, ladies and gentlemen, it is 2025. When in the world are we going to get another Drake and Justin Bieber collab? Because let's just say right here is a phenomenal track, right? I do not believe the sales for right here was going to be estimated the way that it ended up performing on the charts. Drake, Justin Bieber, first track ever together in 2012.

You would have thought it would have more appealed on the tracks on the charts. It went to number five on Billboard and that was his peak. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Drake's and Justin Bieber's first. ever track went number five on the charts and then completely fell off what in the michael jackson but then you know what i'm saying i was like damn look at the state of hip-hop like what's going on so now in 2025 it's not like they had some type of one hit or quitter that just blew up on the charts like drake and the weekend did with um crew love like drake and kendrick did on poetic justice and then i think it was another track but anyways there's not that many tracks with those particular

artists as far as Drake in the weekend, Drake and Kendrick, but they went crazy on the charts. The only collaborative effort between Justin Bieber and Drake, as far as right here, peaked at number 95. Let me, hold up. I don't think you understand. Justin Bieber back in 2012 was putting up some phenomenal numbers to the point where a lot of people would say he was the biggest artist in the world. And some would say he still is.

But, you know, with his purpose tour, right? And that happened in 2016. So that's not 2012. But that grossed over $257 million. But back in 2012, I believe the track Baby is off of that run. So when you look at Baby, let me see. Baby Justin Bieber. Pause.

See, that's the problem. You know, I had to throw that pause in there. But yeah, okay, so that happened to 2010. So right after your biggest hit ever, because, of course, I think unequivocal, objectively, objectively speaking, Beber is his biggest, is Justin Bieber's biggest hit ever. So with that being stated, right? I think Justin Bieber and Drake need to have a smash hit before their career ends. And I'm not saying like to falling off.

I'm just saying that the only track they have collaborating together did not percolate on the charts like they thought it was going to. So now to recoup and to come back from that because of course, if you don't know the history, of Drake and Justin Bieber. It's not like they're beefing. Like the weekend, Justin, uh, the weekend and Drake, they're beefing, obviously because he wanted to sign the weekend. The weekend was like, nah, I'm going to do my own thing. And now they're forever beefing. Drake and Kendrick, uh, Drake put side seven on his first ever tour and then later on in 2025, went on to call him a pedophile, right? So they're not on the greatest terms as far as

Drake, the weekend and Drake and Kendrick. But as far as Drake and Justin Bieber, from what we can see, they've been on the greatest of terms. I mean, Drake appear in the music, video for for uh jason beber's best most best performance track baby back in 2010 but then you're probably saying well that was two years before the collab maybe they fell out in 2020 jason beber appeared and the music video for dj call it as far as for drake's track it wasn't even jennie's track and he showed up for the music video and safe to say if you hate the artist you would never show up to a music video for his track to promote for dj call it like it just doesn't make sense, right? And then fast forward, Justin Bieber posted the Instagram, basically inviting artists to collaborate

to which Drake publicly commented, because if you didn't know, and of course, you know, my sources is I made it up. But Justin Bieber was supposed to be on dot trying, which is why, you know, that chorus from party next door sounds like it should be like Justin Bieber as far sonically. I think it's a phenomenal track. I think if Justin Bieber was on that chorus, it would have done numbers like, the Drake and Chris Brown no guidance track would it did. I think died trying having Justin Bieber on it would have the same numbers that Chris Brown and Drake

no guidance would have had. Because now you don't have that many collaborative efforts together. That particular track I think was cultivated for a Drake and Justin Bieber hit. But that's just me. So anyways, that went out the window, right? But of course, Drake publicly commented and said he had DM'd Bieber

but received no reply. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like what's going on? Now, of course, this doesn't mean they're beefing. Drake never really comes down and be like, I asked for a feature and got turned down. I mean, who is he really doing that too, right? When have we seen Drake be like, oh, I asked so and so for a feature, but he said no.

Usually, well, not point nine times at a 10, it's the other way around. So I think it was just some joking, jovial type of back and forth. Well, it wasn't even a back and forth about Justin Bieber didn't reply. But even for Drake to say that, he was kind of joking. Like, hey, man, you kind of brush me off, but we still cool. So now in 2025 with the rumors of this album happening, which is literally why. I'm saying I need a Justin Bieber Drake collab because they've been hinting at it. They've been talking about it in 2025 and just so happened and the album is coming out.

And the speculative features are gonna sexy red. I mean, no disrespect to those artists. But I want to see some weekend. Kendrick, Drake, like somebody, as far as another superstar to go along with you for this album. because I do believe, I'm not going to say it's going to have the hardest time going number one, but Morgan Wallen has had the number one album in the world since May 16. It's July 10th, 2025. So with that being said, Morgan Wallen is completely putting BTA on the entire music industry.

So Justin Bieber coming out with his album, I believe he could be the first artist to overtake Morgan Wallen as far as having the most successful project in the world. And you know, analytics is only to gauge consumption. with every single superstar in the industry to give you a perspective on who's really doing numbers currently because discography wise Justin Bieber's bigger than all of these artists combined. Currently, he's not on the charts at all. So with that being said, I believe he should have another superstar-like figure on his album, Swag, that's apparently going to release a midnight or maybe it's just a single.

We don't know yet. We'll know in like the next like 50 minutes. But at the end of the day, I want Drake to be on this album. if there's an album without Drake on it from Justin Bieber and if they end their careers only given us right here

that I believe did not perform the way it should of being Drake and Justin Bieber's first ever collab I think it's going to be one of the saddest things to happen in the music industry because Drake

Justin Bieber still being cool to this day seemingly and not having another outing as far as a collaborative effort would just be unfortunate for the game of music and that's just coming from a Drake fan. So obviously I'm a little biased. But with that being said, where do your biases lie?

Click my link to your my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias. Which artist would you like to see on Justin Bieber's upcoming album swag that's either releasing at midnight or maybe he's just putting out a single. But at the end of the day, which artists would you like to see on Justin Bieber's album swag? Now, ladies and gentlemen, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because when it comes to NFR podcast, let's just say, lay all the ones to blame if this deluxe edition does not happen. Because currently, I'm looking at the, the, um, DSP for Travis Scott and the additional tracks that they say is on a deluxe edition.

As far as The Wizard by Travis Scott, Tripout by Shekwest and Yeat, 110 South by Wally the Sensei. Let's just say, I'm literally refreshing as we, speak and it feels like the play ricardi release all over again because i keep looking at my ds p i'm like is my dsp broken and i don't think so i'm going to it i click jack boys two and then there's nowhere to be found so now i'm thinking to myself are they lying to us like hold on now don't let let me find out everybody out here spreading fake news about this jack boys two deluxe i'm thinking to

myself it's been 11 hours ago and i still ain't seen nothing when it comes to the actual dspe and the professional outlets that's like Spotify Amazon it's like everybody's announcing this a deluxe edition I'm like is he trying to is he trying to drum up some more anticipation for its project because I already said on my latest like when I talked about his uh dis towards push a Tee that was you know phenomenal by the way you know obviously had good glowing things to say about of course um when it comes to Travis Scott in his uh marketing strategy as far as stepping on push T's album, I think it's pretty solid. I think he's going to end up outselling his album,

even though it didn't come out on Friday. But if you have features such as a Glorilla, Tyler, Vibes Cartel, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Sawbaby, Waka Faka Flaka Flame, I think that's like I say it. Why am I acting like I'm not saying his name? I'm tripping. Is he on this album? I don't see him.

Why does it say that? I don't know why it says that. Okay, so the actual feature list is Don't Don't Oliver, Sheck West, Playboy Cardi, Future. Oh, it's because he doesn't list them out. Well So yeah that's actual this The first time I said it

Those are the features Ultimately The three tracks that you're seeing right now As far as the Wizard trip out 110 South I think it should help out the sales Because there's additional tracks From a superstar in the game Such as Travis Scott

I don't think he needs it To outsell push his album But maybe these are supposed to be On the original body of work Because for the life of me I can not figure out why This project just wouldn't come out on a Friday I mean, if you think about it, push a T is not going to outsell you because he's not a superstar like you.

He doesn't have, he's literally talking to Joe Budding, Charlemagne. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he hit up academics while he's on vacation to try to get an interview. I mean, he's really doing the marketing strategy of all marketing strategies as far as being on every major platform, right? So now you look at Travis Scott, not only not doing any of that as far as a marketing role. I mean, I guess he let us know that was coming. But he puts out the album on a Sunday instead of a Thursday at midnight that a lot of people do to end up on a new music playlist, right? That's the whole reason people drop music Thursday and midnight. People probably be thinking you could release music whenever.

Why is everybody releasing music Thursday at midnight? Because if you release music any other day, the higher-ups are literally telling you, you're not going to be on a new music playlist unless you drop Thursday at midnight. because when it comes to us getting everything in order, we have to know that this track is coming out. So now you give us a date, you turn in the track, and now we can put you on all the playlist we need to put you on to get you the engagement that major label artists usually get

because of certain playlists pandering to them. I'm not going to say because of a dollar amount because that's payola and that's illegal. And, you know, I'm going to let Aubrey Graham handle that. Ultimately, there's a reason why everybody drops, at Thursday at midnight. It's basically what the higher reps told him to do. So with Travis Scott dropping this project on a Sunday, it's very interesting. And not only that, Justin Bieber dropped his album at Thursday at midnight. That's under Def Jam. If you don't know, the whole story between

Pushy Tea and Def Jam. Def Jam didn't like that Pusha T had a Kendrick Lamar verse. Literally, you can look this up if you think I'm like this is so, it sounds so silly. You're going to think I'm making it up pushy tea had a kensi glomar verse deaf jam didn't like that i think it was like earlier this year or maybe two years ago i forget so deaf jam tells him to take kensi glomar's verse off of the song and pushy tea and his brother malice they say no deaf jam is like okay well album's not coming out so now they go through that for like two years and then pusha t subsequently buys himself out of his death jam deal and he talks

so he goes into more detail about this on what platform did he talk about this Preciatee buys himself I think it was GQ out of Def Jam deal I think it was GQ he talked about this I don't know the actual source I know he did talk about this but let me see

so last week Pusha T but where did he say it past me I don't know where he okay I think it was GQ. But anyways, from the clips themselves, they said that Def Jam

wanted them to remove Kendrick Lamar's feature, Clips said no, and of course, they was at a stalemate, so essentially, the Clips paid a seven-figure buyout to get out of the

Def Jam contract, which I did not even know that was even possible. The group's manager, Stephen Victor, was able to negotiate a deal with Rock Nation in a day.

So now it's kind of making sense. If you have Rock Nation in the play, especially the way they have lawyers, how many Jay-Z say himself, I got lawyers like shooters because I'm throwing them M's, right? So if you get out of a seven-figure deal and then, you know,

just, it's such a coincidence, such a quinky dink that you end up with Rock Nation and less than a day. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on? So I think Sean Carter had a lot to do with that. But anyways,

And he said he was on the phone, well, with Jay-Z as far as Stephen Victor, right? So, you know, it's interesting tidbits. But, yeah, so that whole ordeal with Push the T and Def Jam, I know it sounds like a silly story, but literally they was holding them up because of that Kendrick Lamar verse. So, you know, it's so funny. I don't even know why I said that. But ultimately, I was just letting out know, oh, Justin Bieber. Yeah, Justin Bieber's under Def Jam.

So Def Jam probably try to do a one-up on Pusha-T because he got help from Jay-Z and the Rock Nation to help him get out of his deal. And so they released the biggest artists on the same day that Push-A-T put out his album. So now you get the Justin Bieber album that is title Swag. I know, such a creative title, right? And then to play off of it even more, Justin Bieber himself, if you don't believe that Def Jam did that to make Justin Bieber drop because it's been like four to five years. Justin Beaver himself came out and reposted on this IG account A post going at Pusha T I'm like, when did he hop into the beef? I know

I know Def Jim had beef for Pusha T But now Of course, you know, releasing one of your biggest acts On the same day of an artist you have beef with But then that artist themselves jump out the window To the point where This is an official IG post From Justin Bieber

And I spell his name right? Why is it not pushing up? Why is it not popping up? I'll put too many spaces I think that's why okay so yeah so when it comes to Justin Bieber and literally this is from his actual account

and it was it was since taking down because you know that's how art is doing nowadays but as you can see right here Justin Bieber Beaver Beaver Velley himself wanted to smoke from the clips and literally said well reposted another account talking about Justice is served talking about you know he's basically

praising his album so little i mean um jesson beber reposted this and this is what it says this is the only album that matters right now this album is way better than the clips clips is for bitter grown men who collect codd dolls and shop at kith and union ladies and gentlemen as you can see in the top left that is a verification mark but then you know what i'm saying i was like damn look at the state of hip-hop like what's going on I don't know why Justin Bieber wants to go at Push the T. And of course, you're probably wondering why not just go to his actual account to pull this up. This is a story.

So, you know, it's not there anymore. But this is actually from Justin Bieber's account. And it's very interesting because if you look up Little Bieber, right? Let's just look up Little Beaver right quick just in case you don't know what I mean. You got to make sure we cross-reference, you know what I'm saying? So Little Beaver, you type in Little Beaver, same account name and everything. and guess what pops up his official account so this is actually his account that he posted his story from it's just obviously it's been 24 hours so he's posting another stuff now like it went

away now he's posting about some type of vacation oh there's sexy red um i ain't a lot of sexy red the industry plan she gets posted by everybody anyways um getting back into justin beaver pause you guys see that's the problem so even beaver valley wanted smoke with the clips which is why you know him deaf jim it all made sense in the world to drop on push a tuesday day And then you have Travis Scott dropping on Push-a-Tee's date, which, you know, it's giving them a taste of what Drake was going through as far as the whole Voltron formation of Kendrick, Leland Wayne, Future, Farrell Williams, Rick Ross. I mean, I could keep going. A-Sad Rock, I mean, everybody just teamed up. I mean, goodness, you had thought that Canadian was Stano's or something.

So anyways, that's essentially on a much lower scale what has happened in a push-a-tee. Justin Bieber and Travis Scott is indeed trying to reign on his parade. And I think it's going to work. I think ultimately, Justin Bieber and Travis Scott is too big for Pushy Tea to get the attention they deserve for such a phenomenal rap album because of Justin Bieber and Travis Scott dropping around the same time. Well, Justin Bieber exactly at the same time and then Travis Scott two days later. So with that being said, click my link, shoot in my bio. Let me know in one of my social medias. What do you think about the original point of this segment as far as talking about the deluxe edition?

And do you think there's a conspiracy out there to take a. exposure from the push-a-tee album the great jack quees webser responded to push-a-tee like the lyricist i know that was in his heart of hearts and he said yeah man i swear these old people killing me know my yin's filling me bow bow bow in parentheses they just want the real me now what does that mean you guys see that's the problem blue Bugatti I'm dodging TMZ hmm okay pushing T did talk about TMZ made a hundred off pushing T's bow bow bow bow and now my phone on D&D ladies and gentlemen give it up give it up for the lyrics is Travis cry I know it took all he had you know it took all his mental

power to put that verse together. I ain't going to lie to you. See, this is why melodic rappers should forever stay in the lane. Ladies and gentlemen, whenever you talk about a lyricist like Pushing T, just know there's a hundred, a hundred million Jack Quees Webster's out there rapping just like that, that feel like he cooked. That man said, oh, you know what's going to get them? Let me call him old. You know what? Hold up. Make sure y'all can see this right quick. You know, let me, let me call him old. I'm going to call him old. Yeah, that's going to get them. All right? The Y is filling me. Yeah, I know. I know that's going to get them for real.

Whatever. Okay, so that's two already. His name's pushing tea. What do I do? Nicky Minaj did say I get my album sells from selling T-shirt, socks, and hoodies. Okay, I'm going to flip that. I'm going to say, I'm pushing T's. Ooh, that's going to get them.

That's going to get them. And I'm pushing T's. Okay. How do I end off this? How do I end off this stanza? Let me think. Oh, now my phone on D&D. Ladies and gentlemen.

But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going to? I'm not going to lie to you. Travis Scott may be the greatest rapper we've ever had on planet earth. You know what I mean? As far as a rapper, as far as the lyricist, I don't think I've ever heard a rapper that puts words together better than Travis Scott.

Mm-mm, mm-mm. Man, give it up for that, man. I'm so glad he was able to rebut what Pusha T said. As far as, you know, TMZ on So Be it, you know, he had a lot of certain bars talking about real-life things. that he supposedly could show the world. And Travis Scott completely ignored all that and said, man, I'm out here selling T-shirts.

But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on? So all jokes aside, y'all already know how I feel about Jack Quees Webster. I'm not going to give Jack Boys to a lot of my time. The main thing I will say is him releasing it on Sunday. I believe he definitely wanted to step on Pusha T's Let God Sort Them Out album

that was released Friday. I don't know why it came out on the Sunday. because that hurts the sales if you're trying to step on something why would you um basically hurt yourself in the long run as far as first week sales by dropping two to three days after because now you missed out on those streams that could have been happening on those particular days as far as friday and saturday so i'm not really and i'm not i'm not you know i don't know how to happen right one you know I could say is maybe samples but then I'm hearing from NPR uh from who else is saying this uh from from from rap TV I'm hearing a lot of publications come out

and say that Jack Boys 2 is getting three digital deluxe tracks so now I'm perplex you put it out on sunday and that is already a deluxe coming is almost as if you should have just put it out on Friday like I don't know what this man is doing. Hold, let me take this video off. I forgot that man was showing. Hold on saying. I'm trying to keep this PG. There's a PG podcast and he's showing he's showing something. I ain't go kept to you as far as the visuals had me think I was watching the sweetie film. Anyways, threw me off my point entirely. What was I saying? Does these have strippers on there as well? Goodness gracious. Can we not make a music video without strippers? All right, let's just put up the album cover. There we go. All right. So back to all

So Travis Scott is putting out Deluxe edition like a day after he put out the entire project that's called Jack Boys 2. Now to be fair, I did like some tracks off of there. It's 17 tracks in length and I've liked and I liked one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Say, I liked nine of them. That's pretty good, right? That's almost 50. That's over 50% right? No, yeah, it's definitely over 50%.

So, you know, technically if he was in the league, you know, from a field goal percentage, you'd be doing pretty good. but you know too bad this is music so when it comes to half of his project not being for me it may be for other people i know he makes rage type music you know um god bless to his fans that still go to his shows even after after after the world happened you know what i mean at this point just let you know we can't save them all you know what i'm saying i try my best but um when comes to travis sky and jack boys too i do sell i do think it would sell more than push a t's album even with it being released on a sunday I know that may sound like asinine for some people. But just because he lost out on the streaming data for Friday and Saturday, I think he could easily catch that up.

Because Travis Scott, no matter what people want to say, like, you know, Anya, Italian Marrax comes out from time to time. And she's like, well, Travis Scott's out here selling socks, shirts, and hoodies, which I'm not mad at it. Because technically, with days before the rodeo, he broke the record as far as Billboard, having a number one album on Billboard. And then the following week completely fell off the top 100. done in music history first time ever so when it comes to Travis Scott having a very questionable tactics to get the number one i think um he always has something up his sleeve so i wouldn't be surprised if this outsells push a t's album and ultimately i think that's what he's trying to do he's trying to step on his release he's tired of push a t messing uh with him and and playing around

like he's not a superstar so you know he mustered up all of his two brain cells to come up with i'm selling t-shirts to rebut push a tee. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? So with that being said, click my link, sure, in my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias.

What do you think about Jack Cleese-Webster versus Persia T? Who do you think came out on top? And at the end of the day, what stood out the most about the hard-hitting bars from Travis Scott going at Push-a-T? So continuing off of my Travis Scott coverage, of course, already dived into Jack Boys 2 and a plethora of other things, of course.

But at the end of the day, let's just talk about specifically the music as Travis Scott has a strong feature list as far as who is rumored to Beyond Jack Boys 2. Now, of course, does it involve the mascot of hip hop? But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? Of course not, because the state of hip hop is everybody switched on him. You know, he's turning into Bobby Drake literally as he's embodied the persona of Iceman.

So with that being said, safe to say we're not going to see any featuring drakes for quite some time from popular artists. Now, when it comes to popular artists on Jack Boys 2 specifically, rumors, so take this with a grain of salt. But there is the people under Jack Boys, of course, and then you have the other artists that are rumored to be on it, such as 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Glorilla, Tyler, it's rumored to be on it, Vibes Cartel is rumored to be on Jack Boys 2. Playboy Cardi is rumored to be on Jack Boys 2. I do believe if Playboy Cardi ends up being on Jack Boys 2, it would be very interesting to see what the analytics look like. Because if you don't know, along with Drake and Kendrick, surprisingly, Playboy Cardi is one of the top performers in hip hop. You have Drake, you have Kendrick, and you have Playboy Cardi as far as the most popular out. albums in the world. Playboy Cardi's album music is currently the ninth most play album in the world.

You have Russ with his debut album, which is literally the only independent project on this list. But somehow it managed to be the eighth most play project in the world. Phenomenal accomplishment by Russ. Just had to say that as a side tangent. Playboy Carty. Now we're not talking about discography because obviously Playboy Carty does stream a lot. but when it comes to currently he is hotter as far as projects being considered than every other hip-hop artist because you have play with cardi you have drake with his album some sexy songs for you

being the 18th most played album in the world and then you have and then you have side seven i mean uh white tank top i mean my fault kendrick i don't know how i keep forgetting his name uh kendrick with gen x being a 14th most played project in the world and at the end of the day you come to realize that there's not a lot of hip-hop projects compete with the superstars from other genres. You see a lot of Morgan Wallen, see a lot of Lord, K-pop, literally,

K-pop demon hunters, which I've covered in this entirety, just type in K-pop, analytic dreams with a Z, and it should pop up on whatever platform and listen to podcasts on. You have Carol G. Morgan Wallin,

and then you have Siza. I've already talked about how Siza don't get credit for the amount of weight that she's pulling in the Grand National Tour. But, you know, all the accolades as far as that's record-breaking

and seemingly going to side seven. But you know what I mean? That's a discussion for another day. So then you have Sabrina Carpenter, Teddy Swims. You get the point. Like, it's not a lot of hip-hop artists as far as the top albums being considered. As far as hip-hop, there's Drake, Playbric Cardi, Kendrick, and then that's it. As far as longevity on the charts.

Not to disrespect Russ, because he does currently have the eighth-most-played project in the world. But that's his opening debut. I'll be hard-pressed to see this album stay at the top like it is currently. when it comes to Ken Carson I saw that as well as when I cover King Carson he had his album

More Chaos debut at number one on Billboard so his album More Chaos did debut at number one which is phenomenal and then fell all the way off the charts which I've never seen that since Jack Quees-Webster

as you know I want to dive into my critiques of him but he did have the fastest drop-off ever as far as his research. release of um i forget what it was called it's called like the the rodeo some let me see i think it was called the rodeo so uh let's see no that's not it i think it's this one let's see yeah okay he had the quickest fall off ever in billboard history literally like it's number one like we've never seen a fall off like this he re-released days before the rodeo originally

originally it was put out in 2014, but September 2024, it made history. It's the first album ever, ever, to hit number one on Billboard 200 and fall completely off of the charts as far as from the top spot the following week. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on?

Ladies and gentlemen, when I tell you that Travis Scott is one of the greatest tricksters we've ever seen in hip-hop history, Oniqatia Mirage already said it. But then, you know what I'm saying? Travis guys out here selling shirts, socks, sneakers, which, you know, kudos to him for having his fan base buy his merch. But it's not A.C.N. This ain't Target. This is the music industry.

This man out here selling socks, hoodies, key chains, mouse pads, and they call in their album sales. So what that being said. The rest of the features on this include Walker Flock of Flame, played with Cardi. they already said him um let's see saw saw baby i don't even know what in the world what type of name is that wali the sensei uh so yeah the most popular people off of this in my opinion it's 21 savage kodak glovilla vibes cartel it's a very spooky year for hip-hop let me just put it like that as far as as what drake and kendrick did as far as their back and forth it created a black hole where no other artist gets attention but those two individuals unless you're beefing which is why i was

a lot of different beefs right now. I'm not saying a manufacturer, but a lot of people beefing and we're kind of seeing it on a grandiose scale, but I don't want to get too political. At the end of day, beef drives a lot of eyes and engagement, which in fact takes away from

other places that you should be paying attention to. That's what I'm leaving at, because you know, I don't want nobody accused me of being political. But at the end of the day, Travis Scott will have to make his analytical success strictly off of the music because it seems it seems as if he's not going to go at push a tea push a tea has all the smoke in the world for him and he's let it be known and um Travis guy is what I feel like is a great pathway for Travis Scott do not engage with

push a tea because he will verbally mutilate you so that being said it seems like Travis Scott sticking to the music kudos to him hopefully it works out but with that being said click my link in my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about Travis scott putting out jack boys too and as far as the rumor the feature list that i just listed out who are you most excited to see if this list is true who are you most excited to see featured on jack boys too so in talking about tyler the creator we have to put on front street how in the year of 2025 we've had size seven we've had arbor karen of course playboy cardi leading the pack when it comes to analytical performance on the hip-hop side of things.

But as of right now, we've definitely had more hip-hop superstars come out of the woodworks. And this is what Tyler is one of them. As far as when he came out and his debut, he ended up putting up 197,000 equivalent album units in his first week. And plus, it was just shorter week because it was released on Monday. Now, I haven't had a full deep dive into that album of Don't, tap the glass so this is essentially what this is this segment's going to be so as far as a hundred ninety seven thousand equivalent album units you do have to know that a hundred and twenty eight thousand of those were album sales now usually in the land of streaming and digital

it's very hard to do that because of course if you look at on-demand streams he was still up there with some of the big dogs as far as 93 million on-demand streams but ultimately Tyler the creator really has a solid fan base that comes out and actually purchases his music rather than streaming it like 95% of artists, audience do. So with that out the way, also, Jack Quees-Webster. Now, of course, you already know how I feel about him. No need for me to reiterate, right? No need for me to tell you that Jack Quees-Webster performed at one of the deadliest concerts of all time, right?

No need for me to tell you that. I mean, as far as AstroWorld and then him giving that apology like he was half asleep. Why even bring that up, right? So I'm not going to do that, obviously. So Travis Scott is currently holding the number six spot as far as the number six most played project in the world. So now we have more hip-hop superstars coming out of the woodworks. And then, of course, can't forget the clips as pushy tea at malice, let God sort them out. It's currently the ninth most play project in the world.

Now halfway through the year, if you would have told me we would have had three hip hop albums in the top 10 and it wasn't side seven or Aubrey Karen, I would have told you that you were out of your mind because it was looking like Morgan Wallen was going to continue to put BTA on the whole music industry. Not even to mention K-pop demon hunters that literally doubled China's overall revenue as far as in the music industry because literally is one of the most successful soundtracks of all time going all the way. back to Encanto under Disney and that was like two to three years ago so k-pop demon hunters if there's no bias should win a lot of Grammys when it comes to best soundtrack now with that out the way i always say that when it comes to analytical performance it does not mean you have high quality just because you sell a lot it's not mean you make high qualities just because you don't sell doesn't mean you make absolute garbage the two don't correlate but sometimes they do for k-pop demon hunters actually listen to the soundtrack and i like it i like the um my favorite

is from the Saja Boys off of that soundtrack. I think it's called Your Idol. I love the chorus because, let me see. I think it was the idol. Yeah, your idol. That's what it's called. From the boy band called Saja Boys and is actually fictional in the movie. So to have a great story along with a great soundtrack and then, not even to mention the

people behind that team is the same people who made Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse. So whoever's the A&R ears behind the people cultivating the soundtrack for, across the Spiderverse because of course the first one has sunflower, the second one had Metro Boomin cultivating the project. Ultimately, you just come to realize that that A&R team is one of the best that we have as far as putting soundtracks together for movies. But anyways, get back into Tyler the Creator because the reason why I say that is to give you the landscape of music to showcase why Tyler the Creator topping the charts as far as having the most popular album in the world currently is a huge feat. Morgan Wallen's been

putting BTA on the whole end. industry, K-pop demon hunters have had the most surprising analytics we've seen to date for a soundtrack. And of course, Justin Bieber's swag is doing pretty solid. But ultimately, I wanted to get into that. And of course, as you can see right here, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. We're about to get into Tyler the creator in an Instagram interview, basically answering some questions from fans. And with that being said, then we're going to get into the rest of the statistics from Don't Tap the Glass. But all I got to say, as far as my personal opinion. I really like the actual title track. Don't tap the glass. And then I like the, um,

there's one of the tracks where you could really tell that somebody broke his heart. Like, I don't know what man. I mean, I don't know what person broke that man's heart. But ultimately, Tyler, the creator had to let you know that he is, yeah, it was stop. Whoever was playing with Tyler, Paul's. I mean, I guess play. I don't know. But hey, however Tyler swing, you know what I'm saying, it's up to him. But, you know, I just don't know how to call it right now. So anyways, as far as stop playing with me. Somebody was definitely upsetting him in that manner. Let's just put it like that. So I like stop playing with me and I like don't tap the glass. But anyways, let's get into a little bit of his interview with Instagram, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along

with the audio because we're about to get into his interview right now. Ways physically and the creative stand. I ask it because I know it was like something else on the beginning of him. Like they was asking random stuff. This is like actual good questions right around here. I can't. To just deliver. Yeah, right here. That's what it was. I just booked a residency in Vegas.

I leave, like, in two weeks. But it's, like, my first long-term project. I'm usually, like, short-term projects, but there's, like, award shows or music videos or campaigns. It's like a week project. But the first time, it's, like, a long-term one. And I know the performance quality they expect is, like, high every single night that we'll be doing it.

So I was just questioning, like, how to maintain creative. stamina and energy like to just deliver a show every night and not just just go through it but like to actually bring something because people are coming to see me like i want to make each show good i mean i've been heard calm down chill my whole life so i'm just naturally turned um but like i'm 34 now so i'm on same no i just like by myself moving non that's old ain't to the first minute to the last minute, no one else will stay just me.

And luckily, I only drink water. I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke or nothing. But I try to stay physical throughout even my downtime. So like, riding my bike as much as I can. Going on walks, I was talking to someone out there. And it was like, people don't walk in Los Angeles? I was like, I do. Like, we'll park our cars somewhere

and we'll go walk to the store or whatever, the movies or that, like, you gotta also keep that up as much as possible. We was in Miami. I had a show two weeks ago. And we had our off day and we went jet skiing and like walking at sushi and then found this ice cream spot. We eat ice cream.

And then the homie just walked up and was like, you're it. You just had a bunch of 30-some year olds playing tag 45 minutes. All right, so that was one of the instances I wanted to show is as far as him actually given up and coming artists some advice as far as, you know, being on stage, keeping your energy up, and how does he stay fit outside of it? Because a lot of people be thinking that, I mean, some of these hip hop artists do be,

you know, they be on a lot of substances. Let's just put it like that. But in general, you don't have to be on substances to be a great hip hop artist because, you know, as far as certain artists who make it popular to use certain substances and make it seem like that's the only way to be a cool hip hop artist. As you can see right here, Tyler is one of the. top dogs in the hip hop game and he's not the one advocating for oh i can only make certain tracks when i'm on drugs i got to be off of everything to make a solid track i don't feel like myself

when i'm not taking certain stuff tyler's one of the greatest examples in my opinion of a hip hop artist top in the charts without pushing some of the substance abuse and things of that nature so um yeah that's why i wanted him to answer because a lot of people just think hip hop artists are just like just out of their minds just to to create these tracks because it's it's um very very very very very popular as far as currently that's why I'm gonna leave you that so anyways Tyler the creator also has his the most successful track off of a don't tap the glass is currently Big Poe that's currently the 33rd most played track in the world and then you have 11 tracks in total that's on the chart so shout out to

Tyler for that but sugar on my tongue is the 41st most play track in the world and then you have ring ring ring which is the 44th most played track in the world. And then you have sucker free, which is the 48 most played track in the world. And then stop playing with me as the 51st. That's my personal favorite track, which is why I always say, you know, just because you sell a lot. Well, just because actual streaming analytics is not dictating of quality. Sometimes it is, but it doesn't automatically correlate. So stop playing with me as the 51st most played track in the world. And then Tyler the creator has mom in them. So it's like, all my mom in them. It's the 54th most played track.

I'll take care of you as the 55th. Don't tap that glass, which is my favorite track personally. That is the 56. And then don't worry about, don't worry, baby, is the 59th most popular track. Tell me what it is,

it's the 82nd. And then of course, okay, so he only has 10. So he has 10 in the top 83, which is a phenomenal accomplishment, like I stated at the beginning of this segment, the status of the hip-hop game was literally waiting to see what would happen between Drake and Kendrick.

And now that that seemingly dying down to the point where we don't really hear that discourse as much, now you see a lot of these superstars popping out more and more to put our albums. But what's the bad thing about is that it seems like you can only garner certain attention when you're beefing with certain people, which is why people were criticizing the clips roll out because, you know, they call out Jack Quees, which I don't like them either, but it seems like it was random. They called out Travis Scott

and then Pusha Tee also called out their label, Def Jam, for not letting the Kendrick verse be put out on their album under Def Jam. So they had to leave Def Jam to have that Kendrick verse on their album. So those are two scenarios where somebody could say

you're perpetuating beef to sell a project. But then you have Travis Scott come and guess what he's saying? He's saying, forget old people, I'm the one pushing T's or something like that as far as like selling merch. So then you have that as far as Travis Scott's album doing phenomenal. And both of those albums are doing well as far as the clips album being a ninth

most play project in the world. You have Travis Scott's album currently being a sixth most play album in the world as far as as Jack Boys 2. And then Tyler the creator comes out of nowhere. Surprise, rap, EP, really dance. I don't know what you really quantified as. But ultimately, there's really no beef on Tyler's point. Like a lot of people trying to cultivate certain beef, but like I keep saying,

Tyler the creator is one of the few big dogs, not just regular stars, one of the few superstars in the game that doesn't push the negative, the whole negative stereotypes that comes with being a cool hip-hop artist. And so I think Tyler the creator did a fantastic job on just being positive and still having a number one album in the world. So I just wanted to go over that because I haven't touched on album. I haven't touched on, that's a pause. but i didn't want to finish that at all i'm just going to pause that you guys see that's the

problem i haven't covered Tyler the creator's album in quite some time so i wanted to do that in totality give you all like a summary of what he's looking like in the certain in the current landscape of music and we'll see how long he keeps the number one slide and we'll see how long his 10 tracks is on the charts but with that being said click my link to your in my bio let me know one of my social media's what do you think about Tyler the creator's album don't tap the glass going number one selling equivalent to a 197,000 album units in a short week. Remember, it dropped on Monday. It didn't even drop on Thursday.

And then ultimately, what is your favorite track off of the album? Now, this specific segment, we are going to be diving deep into the entire music industry. As far as the halfway point, the entire music revenue grew by only 1.4%. Now, you're probably thinking to yourself. Isn't growth what we're wanting as far as the music industry? Well, you would definitely be correct, but as far as comparing it to the halfway point of 2024, it is down from 7.6%. So as far as an entire year, it is on track to be a decrease of 7.8% as far as compared to

the full growth year of 2024. Now, of course, these are valued at re-referral. price is not net proceeds and of course analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because these this specific report right here is essentially from the German music market so they went through and basically gave a detailed report of the entire music industry as far as the halfway point so when you're looking at this and when you're looking at the overall audio streaming and then compare to actual purchases you realize that the permanent downloads, which earns artists more money, is down 1.6%.

So overall audio streaming is up from 79.3% in the halfway point of 2024 to 81.2. So when you're looking at it from a overall perspective and putting it simply for other people to let them know how the music industry is on a decline as far as revenue, is simply because people would rather press a button and stream music than purchase it, which is very interesting as I also cover the entire music. Not music. I also cover the entire gaming industry. So when it comes to that, whenever I'm talking about Xbox and Microsoft claiming to not be making any money off of the gaming sector, whether it's Xbox or the developers, which is why they're laying off so many people,

you know, that's what they say. But the stock prices are up. Make that make sense. So anyways, when it comes to the streaming and the overall revenue, digital formats had 87.5% of the entire revenue. And of course, video streaming and other is 4.8% of the revenue. So ultimately, I wanted to get into the physical sales and how it's on the decline. And while that's the main reason for a lot of this music industry shenanical.

again going on as far as people not seeming to be able to not tour like they have to tour to make money so now you see a lot of acts coming out of the woodworks to tour you see a lot of rappers and singers streaming and trying to get into the content space because now with their overall industry on a decline as far as people less willing to actual buy the physical version they're rather press stream on your album or single than purchase it as far as a physical coffee so looking at the decline as far as physical specifically it is down 13.2% because if you look at the physical formats it accounts for 12.5% of revenue and it is and it is down 2.2% as far as the entire tracking of the year is considered and then you have total physical revenue which is 22.4

million and then that is also a 26.3 million drop CD sales as far as revenue was 85.6 million and that is a 20% drop as far as compared to last year. So now putting these things in perspective specifically as far as streaming as far as physical copies you can see how one music industry is being cheap in by the streaming platforms. But what is What have artists been saying about that? And gaming and gaming publishers or developers are starting to catch up on what art has been going through as far as in the music industry. The Xbox Game Pass, I will say to this day, is the greatest bang for your buck if you are a gamer wanting to play multiple games for one subscription price. But of course, for the people developing all of those games that's on the Game Pass, guess what? They are walking away with less money because now, instead of purchasing that game for $70, you, you're, you're, you're, you're going to be walking away with less money. because now instead of purchasing that game for $70, you get to play three or four, five games all for a $20 a month subscription. So you can see how the gaming industry is just now catching up to how crazy the model is that used to, you would have to purchase the full thing to even play it.

Now you can hop into a subscription model. And sometimes it's a free trial for Xbox GamePats and get to play entire AAA games, they will. like Expedition 33 um what's all the games on there uh doom doom the dark ages i think it's i think that's the title of it and then you have the latest game woo chan uh will chain falling feathers which i'm currently playing and then you have call this football you had a whole trial a 10 hour trial so all of that you get for the game pass subscription and you come to realize like hold on now we're not going to make the same amount of money if we keep giving away this content for essentially free price because it's on this subscription model.

That's exactly what the music industry has been going through for quite some time. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like what's going on? So that being said, diving deeper into the global market reaction, Germany did say that as far as global music market, China is just 72.7 million behind with double the growth rate. And you're probably wondering to yourself, how's the music industry down? But China is doubling in growth rate.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, you must have not been following the podcast because, of course, I've deep dive into K-pop demon hunters like there's no tomorrow. And of course, as you can see right here, K-pop demon hunters is essentially one of the greatest projects that came out of China more specifically when you look at the charts. it is the third most played project in the world as you can see right here analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio but as far as k-pop demon hunter's soundtrack it is july 29th and essentially when this project came out it was let me see june 20th so more than a month after it was its initial release is still holding the top three spot as far as the third most play

project in the world. So now when you go back to also having not only BTS but Black Pink and a lot of other conglomerants out there like big hit entertainment that's just printing money hand over fist because now people are starting to get more inclined to the K-pop field which you know as far as the podcast that's why I say I cover the entire music industry because I've been talking about the immense impact of BTS, the immense impact of black Black Pink or more specifically Jenny from Black Pink, which if you don't know, won the show, the HBO show, The Idol, I think it was called the Idol. Let me see. The Idol, the weekend, HBO. Yeah, it's called the Idol. So season one of the Idol, it won Best Chorography at some type of Emmy, right? The reason for that is because Jenny from Black Pink had a specific scene in that show that was just straight up phenomenal. Now, as far as the entire show, Let's just say it was far from phenomenal. But, you know, the weekend, that man, Abel Tess Faye is going to keep trying to prove that he is the next or the second coming to Will Smith.

Right. So anyways, getting back to music. So when it comes to China, they're doing great, right? Double the growth rate. And they said that China could surpass Germany in 2025 and challenge the UK for the third biggest market in the music industry. So now when you're looking at the Latin community, when you're looking at K-pop, when you're looking at K-pop, when you're looking at Bollywood, all of these different genres because of the evolution of technology, people are more aware of. So to see the music industry on the decon, but to see China doubling

its growth rate is very interesting, especially in the landscape of today, when people would rather stream your song or album rather than purchase it. And then you come into the overall CEO speaking out, because they said to themselves, if we keep losing money, I'm going to lose my job. You know what mean, they probably don't want to do that. They'll probably just lay off 7,000 more employers like Microsoft did. Oh, my fault. Hold on my fault. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming.

Like, what is going on? Sometimes I think to myself, what is going on in the gaming and music industry? Because as of right now, they are both struggling with the same monstrosity, which is the depreciation and the overall lowering and value as far as change. cheapening the product. If you're going to cheapen the product, you can't be mad at when the entire music industry is not bringing in as much money as the last year, right? Because now people are looking at the overall product and saying to themselves, I know that's not my favorite artist putting out a country album. I know that's not my favorite artist trying to pander towards the

TikTok crowd. I know that is not my favorite artist. I know that is not my favorite artists 60, 70 years old trying to beef with a 30 year old. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? So some of these artists are going out bad or going out sad or going out all type of ways as far as because of less revenue coming in the door as far as their specific, um, market.

But as a totality, everybody can kind of feel like, hey, at least we all lose the money together, right? because total revenue like I said is down as far as compared to uh 2024 because if you look at it halfway into 2025 we have approximately 1.16 to 1.36 billion as far as generated in um 2025 and then of course when you look at uh 2024 is is down 7.6 percent because 2024 had a lot well as far as seven per i'm not mathematician but you know it's down 7.6% from 2024 so mathematicians y'all do the math on that one but anyways because that's you know a billion seven point three percent you know you got some you got some equations to do but anyways

getting into the audio streaming it acquired 1.1 billion dollars in the halfway point of this year and of course it's down 12.7 percent compared to 2020 for streaming market value it has 81.2% and of course that's up from 79.3% from last year and then you have permanent download revenue which this is the big one in my opinion this is approximately 16.2 to 19 million as far as a halfway point of 2025 but it is down to 1.4% from 1.6% as far as compared the halfway point of 2024 and then you have video slash other digital revenue which is 55.5 million to 65.2 because these are all estimates but this is from the german music market apparently they're pretty reputable so that's why i wanted to cover it like i am as far as deep going deep

into what um what they gave us because i was wanting to see yeah uh what is that i don't even know what that is okay i was wanting to show y'all the picture again right quick so y'all can see you all see that this is coming actually from a new source that's used to giving us data like this. It's not just some I made it up type of metric, right? So then you have physical sales revenue, 12.5%, which is down 2.2% compared to 2024. You have CD sales, CD sales, which is down 20% compared to 2024, making $72.9 million through 85.6 million. That's an estimate, of course.

And in vinyl sales, you have 64.8 million to 76.1 million. And that is down 2.6% as far as compared to the halfway point of 20 to 24. And then, to round it off, total physical revenue decline is 13.2% overall. But then, you know what I'm saying?

I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? Sometimes I look at the state of the state of the state. music industry and I'm like at some point we got to get it together because of course I think the entertainment model as of right now is being cheap is is cheapening the overall experience so that way whenever these revenue decreases come back it shouldn't be a surprise you all are cheapening the product letting people listen to the entire bodies of work entire discographies for a subscription price which to me I

I think that's phenomenal. As a consumer, I'm not going to lie. Us music fans have been eating for quite some time because guess what? If the GamePas existed 10, 20 years ago, the whole entire gaming industry will look different. But of course, they're quickly finding out. It just happened as far as GamePass really having notable AAA titles. But it just happened that developers are coming out saying that the Xbox Game Pass is not a sustainable model. Where we heard that before as far as the subscription model?

Every artist named Mama have came out to tell us that instead of paying, I forget how much albums are, because I don't even have a CD player. But let's just say an album is $15, right? And now you can go to Spotify and get a $17 subscription. And you can listen to everything in that store. So instead of going to that store paying your hard-earned money as far as that $15 for one project, so meaning you would have to make sure you're going to like it. Now you could just go to Spotify, to Apple Music, pay it. that subscription subscription pricing now you have the whole store so that is why the overall product is cheapen and that's why the revenue as far as total physical revenue decline is at 13.2% as far as the

halfway point of 2025 compared to the halfway point of 2024 so with that being said i didn't want to be the day of horse i definitely wanted to do a segment on this because of course me calling myself analytic dreams i would be well it's a pg podcast so you already know i was about to say say if somebody else was able to break this down before I did as far as letting y'all know that the music industry as a whole is on a decon but technically the streaming is on the rise so with that being said click my link to your my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think is the solution to increasing the music industry revenue and do you believe as a consumer they should take the hit so that you can stream on platforms rather than purchasing full albums or singles.
