What's going on at internet, analytic here, aka Dreams, and I'd like to welcome you to mine, which I call the notorious mass effect podcast. I am your gaming and music news source diving deep into both industries with data-driven analysis to give you a clearer understanding of both cultures. And if I do say so myself, I may be giving y'all a bunch of gyms. and a plethora of sermons. Give them some praise. You know what I'm saying?

Might as well give me some praise. Give them some praise. All right. Appreciate you. Appreciate you, Drewski. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate you.

Anyways, getting back to what I'm saying. You know, at the end of day, The Notorious Mass Effect episode 156, you know we had it started off in a particular way because, of course, hold up now. You'll probably think it to yourself. Is this going to be an Expedition 33 Glazerthon? Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to let you know it will not be.

Shepard, just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? Because as far as the state of gaming, every critic known the man in the gaming industry has given Expedition 33 their flowers. And of course, I've been doing it this whole year. So even though you see Expedition 33 on the gaming side of this episode, safe to say it's not going to be too much glaze happening, but I will be giving them their very earned kudos and congratulations as far as covering the game award winners.

Now, of course, as you can see over there, we have the one and only Tito double Pee and Peso Pluma. Because if you don't know, these two gentlemen just collab for the first time ever as far as the entire project and it's titled Dynasty. So with that being said, you already know with my coverage of the gaming and music. music industry safe to say hence the name your boy was deep diving into the analytics and then funny enough this man ended up talking about me mind you you know as far as my name being analytic dreams safe to say that when it comes to the analytics especially for the year of 2025 y'all showed out so clap it up for yourself because without this support without y'all's support none of this is possible and the reason why i say that is because let's take that

take a little gander and yes i said gander you know i'm 25 going on 80 on this specific post right here now ladies and gentlemen you're probably thinking what is that well that is my year in analytics as far as my podcast i didn't do the uh social medias this year because the social media's been doing phenomenal but of course there's only so many things as far as a roundup i could put together myself as you can tell i went through the spotify wrap up and put all the little uh not little but put the different analytics together just the one snap shot so y'all can see you. But as far as the biggest platform by far, which is the audio only version, analytic dreams, notorious mass effect on whatever platform you listen to podcasts are,

you know, nothing to crazy. We do have a little statistic as far as six years of listening as far as in 2025. So shout out to y'all for that. But there was a very peculiar stat that I saw in the top country as far as the entire podcast throughout the year of 2025. And it didn't surprise me because I'm always looking at my analytics. But Mexico came in at number one. I got to clap myself for y'all because I'm not going to lie to you. I feel like a preacher when he said never would have made it without you. Because hip hop was in one of the most egregious downturns I've ever seen in the genre's history.

To the point where, you know, I say this stat every single time. I know the hip hop connoisseurs would definitely get tired of this particular stat. But you know, analytic dreams, we got to get into the dreamlike analytics. But this was very opposite. This was not exactly dreamlike. As I reported October 31st, 2025, there were no rap songs in the Billboard Top 40 for the first time in 35 years. 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 of course, your boy over here being a very loyal fan. I kept covering hip hop. But guess what? Not only was the music field indication what was going on in my coverage. was also an indication of what was going on because the supporters and droves came from the Latin community in a way that I just couldn't imagine. So as you can see right here in my top country as far as my biggest platform in general, like across all platforms is my biggest platform by far. My top country was Mexico.

So shout out to y'all and I very much appreciate it, which is why I want to bring it back full circle. Tito Double Pee and Paisal Pluma is on the music cover for episode 156 because at this point in time, I'm not so. saying hip hop artists got to earn the music cover for every single notorious mass effect episode but that's exactly what i'm saying you guys see that's the problem so anyways as that being said um as far as my my full cam i think i need to take away that ticket okay there we go you know being a w tech guy on the fly and then of course you know we have the video side of things as far as the video platform shot to spot and as far as that people over there are definitely increasing as far as engagement but it's doing phenomenal 133 3 3rd

countries reached overall i mean y'all see the stats right here i don't need to read out everything for you but at the end of the day this is the 2025 recap i'm giving you as far as the support that you're given throughout the year of 2025 so i just thought it was only right to start off the first episode of 2026 basically giving y'all your flowers your well-deserved flowers because guess what that leads me into my next tip bit as far as the intro ladies and gentlemen my new year's and Christmas was phenomenal. And I mean beyond phenomenal because being able to give back in a way that I've never been fortunate to be able to give back definitely brought a lot of warmth and joy to my heart.

And you're probably wondering to yourself, what do you mean you had a phenomenal New Year's and Christmas as far as for the year of 2025? Well, I'm glad you asked. You guys. As there's a specific pathway, I wanted to go down. to show y'all how y'all's support has given me the opportunity to do some unthinkable things for my parents my parents of course and of course i just want to go and share these moments with y'all because of course y'all's support made this possible in the first place so that be it said as far as the first picture i don't know if i had all the right pictures let me see you know i'm 25 going on 80 okay so here we go as far as the christmas picture as you can see right here your boy was able to bring all type of Christmas presents to my parents and my little sister yes sir so as far as a recap

for 2025 your boy was able to turn into Santa Claus himself I even know I zoomed in right there but I got the point was able to turn into Santa Claus himself and bring a lot of different presents and you're probably thinking to yourself but what type of presents did you bring guess what I got you covered No, I got them covered because of course the first thing I was going to bring up was the gift for my dad. So I know I have it right here. Actually, as far as having it, I do not. So when it comes to me being 25 going on 80, I ain't go live.

This is not it. So, okay, we have the video for my mom and we have the video for my dad. They just put in random places. Okay, so here we go. So as far as the first video, as you can see right here, I got a little. little funco pop for my dad i wish i had the HD picture because when you first make it they give you like an HD a visual when you're customizing it but after you purchase it there's no way to look at the HD visual and i just want to take a take a picture of it as you was unboxing

it so and basically the email they sent you basically they didn't give you any way to look at it in detail after you purchase the funco pop so anyways i got my dad a custom funcopop yes ladies and gentlemen because i got my parents you know i got my mom a funco pop and now as you can see right now I got my dad a customized Funko Pop. You know what I'm saying? That's crazy. Look, he don't know one in the world that is. As you can see, you got the glasses, got the football, got the hat because he used to coach you when I was in the little leagues.

You know what I mean? He looking like Prime Adrian Peterson, you know, especially with the ball head. You know, that's too crazy. So this is the customized Funko Pop. But of course, that's not the main reveal. Now, I got to show him this because, you know, at the end of the day, this is for motivational purposes.

only. You know, when it comes to Meek Mill and him just trying to talk down on people and boast and be braggadocious, when Drake said, you say you do it for motivational purposes only, you just had to show us. Is it okay? I got my dope on me. Safe to say that was kind of dope. So for me, when I say motivational purposes, I actually mean it for the up and coming creators out there as this, this is literally what you aspire to do. So, The first video is because it's two halves. So this is why I gave it to my mom. So I already gave, it was a bunch of different Christmas presents.

If I was going through the whole list, I basically got my dad, LeBron's shoes, like the new ones, like the little crown things on the bottom, like the crazy packaging. I got him those shoes. I got him something else. Oh yeah, I'm tripping. I got him to customize Funko Pop. I got my sister, a heart-shaped, like TikTok type of figurine with a nice message from, you know,

her brother and then of course um i got her oh yeah a Spotify subscription because of course she loves Spotify so and then for my mom i got her a foot massage which i still don't know the jury is still out if she likes that or not because i haven't seen it use it but it's okay you know what i'm saying shepherd no it's okay you know i'm just you know what i'm just going to cry in the car you guys nah but all jokes aside i think she likes it but i haven't seen it use it so i got her a foot massage and I got her a little teddy bear it was like red and it looked pretty nice because she's into decorative type things so anyways that was not the main reveal ladies and gentlemen I had to spend the block back because of course the type

of present I was about to give my mom we had to wait a couple business days and get everything in order as far as the amount of scrilla that was happening right here so as far as what I'm talking about obviously I'm a little vague so this is the first thing right here this is my you know what I'm saying It's your word, I'm just living in it, you know what I mean, it's her world, I'm just living in it. I don't know if you're heard, is she. I'm just living in it, you know what I'm saying? Is your word?

You know, she did tear up a little bit, but you know, that's all right. This is the edited video, so I cut a lot of things out. But, you know, for the main part, y'all's support is what helped me be able to do this. So when I say motivational purposes only, this is exactly what I mean. Do y'all like the nesting box style, you know, box in a box? Yeah. And it looks, she was gonna skip the card. She was gonna skip right past the car.

I was like, hold on now. But then you know what I'm saying? I put a lot of work into the car. You feel? So obviously, you know, I cut that part out because you know she read the whole card and it was more heartfelt and personal details. So of course, now going to the next video,

she continues the opening process. Oh, how sweet. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You know, I try to do my thing. A box in a box. You know, I try to be a W son, you know, nothing too crazy. And guess what?

What? One more box. What? and then another box inside of this one maybe look at that right there and in that moment i was like i did dolores work and of course the only reason i'm showing y'all this is for motivational purposes i keep repeating it because i want up-becoming creators to know that this is literally what you work for and the people who support you when you get to these points where you can give these type of offerings to your parents or the people who was in your life for the long haul

i think you should showcase it to the people who supported you now obviously you only got to you know docks yourself or give away their their home location or whatever but a nice little video like this i think it's pretty solid rj is this real money is this real money i do not so we're going to stop right there so basically you know as you can tell you know i mean we was out here doing the Lord's work, not just case. So, you know, if that wasn't a phenomenal recap of my Christmas events, I don't know what would be, you know what I'm saying? So as far as that, thank you all for supporting me and helping me get to a point where I could do that without even having to, you know, basically,

you know, thank you for getting me to that point. I just wanted to showcase y'all because y'all the ones who really got me to the point to be able to do that. So other announcements, Well, not announcements. It's not like church announcements, but even though I do have the Jusky drop. That dropped so funny. That's one of the funniest kids I've ever seen in life. So anyways, um, Enemy Plus. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you know it's time for the shameless plugs, you know what I'm saying?

But then, you know what I'm saying? As when you look at Enemy Plus, which you already know has the whole Mass Effect game play walkthrough happening on that right now. So that is specific. We already finished Mass Effect 1. You know, shout to me for that. That's crazy. but of course when it comes to

when it comes to enemy plus a lot of people have started to buy from the actual store as you can see we have tank tops hoodies long sleeve shirts short sleeve shirts headbands and of course desktop mats now of course it's a season one so you got to give your boys some grace you know what I'm saying your boy is definitely going to come with some more designs from a aesthetically pleasing type of aspect but right now

we just have my logo and of course the other logo as far as B-I-G and Shepherd. So the main thing with that, we just have some graphic tease and then my logo, but guess what? Season two, we're going to get more into our bag. You know, should I say, we may get into our cost and that bag? I know that ain't who I think it is.

All I'm saying is I'm really looking at different fashion designs. So it's safe to say this is season one, but season two is coming very soon. So make sure to get something from that. If you enjoy those type of designs, especially, you know, if you just wanted to basically it just helps support the platform, especially would that be in my first wave

of new apparel. And then of course, as far as Enemy Plus, the main thing, as you already know, we have the fitness routine. I'm calling the biggest loser analytic dreams edition. We have the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which we already completed the entire Mass Effect One video game. And then we're currently deep, I mean deep into Mass Effect 2. We're not too deep, but you get the point. Like, we're pretty much making great progress. And I'm just having a time on my life. I ain't going to care up to you. Shepard. Just look at the state of gaming.

Like, what is going on? I look at the state of gaming and nothing can come close to the feeling that Mass Effect gives me, as you can tell. So anyways, I'm having the time of my life playing that game and, you know, and making it enjoyable for y'all. And then also, you already know that we had the DreamCon vlog in Houston. You know, we had the sandbox VR vlog, which is like one of the best establishment, if not the best, for VR gaming.

And then, of course, we went to Houston, Texas. No, that was for DreamCon. we went to new york we went to new york not too crazy and went to new york comic con but also we got invited out to invincible versus so yes you know your boy was in a uh very prestigious type of event as far as getting you know invited out to a particular event where a lot of different people was congregating that you know i had pretty high social statuses let's just put it like that like i'm i ran into the host of dream con which leads me into my next point i mean him chat like we chopped it up he was He was a real cool dude and it was just a great conversation we had.

But I'm not going to, you know, obviously, you know, can't throw it to the public. You know what I'm saying? Some conversation are meant to be, meant to be private. So another thing I was going to say because that led me into my other point. So we're going to DreamCon again for the year of 2026. And safe to say, we're going to capture a lot of different moments as far as, you know, making an entire vlog out of it. I may not vlog the entire thing again because for the most part, I just want you all to see the show floor. some of the surroundings me interacting with certain people and then i also want to be able to experience

it you know it's definitely a balance and of course for me who's not live streaming i should just basically video um a lot of the major parts instead of me just uh i mean the dream con vlog last year came out phenomenal so basically i'm trying to make it more concise it's going to be a lot more editing um that comes with it and then also before that i'm not going to say which month but it's Coming up very soon. Your boy may be having a vlog out in Miami. But then, you know what you're saying? You're like, man, hold up now.

You fin of going to Miami? Like, Miami, Miami? No, it's like. So anyways, with that bit said, I can't tell y'all what we're doing out there, but let's you say, it's going to be a movie, yep. You guys. It's going to be a movie.

So I can't wait for you all to see that. And I mean, it's not recorded yet, but you know as far as uh us get into that point i can't wait for y'all yeah to basically see it when we get to that um and they're also following that we already have the dream con vlog in houston in the tuck well in uh production as far as getting ready to do that but um those are the two main thing i was one that i get into as far as the intro and now ladies and gentlemen you already know that we got to get into the happenings of notorious mass effect 156 because you know we had a long intro but i thought it was justifiable, especially with this being the first episode of 2026.

The main thing I wanted to do was basically showcase to y'all how much y'all support has cultivated and changed my life because I'm always forever grateful. No, I just had to let them know, you know what I'm saying? Shepard. All right. I'm going to cry on an episode. You know what I'm saying? I won't cry on a podcast.

So anyways, I would that mean, said, notorious mass effect episode one, 56, which of course is titled, It's Actually. Exposition 33. The greatest game of all time. Shepherd. Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? Now, obviously, we're exaggerating a little bit, but as far as a title, I think that's very splendid, if I do say so, myself.

And of course, earlier, when I talked about my top market, that is why on the music side, we're going to have more, well, basically the people who earn the spot for the music covers will be on the cover. And for peso, Pézo, Plum, Tito, Double P to do what they did in Mexico. having 17 tracks charting in the top 50 in Mexico, but also having two tracks charting worldwide, which the way they dominate Mexico, if you knew the type of dominance that that was, you would be very impressed how they're able to also have two tracks charting in the top 100 in U.S.

So that's why I'm undercover for this episode. And of course, going forward, whatever genre may be, the artist is going to have to earn the musical slide for the cover because, of course, I feel like this is more, more of a historian type of take on the music and gaming industry, and we just can't be handing out freebies. And I'm not going to call out any names, Ken Carson, but the main thing is sometimes we threw out some covers and hip-hop artist just because they put out an album.

And we're not doing that anymore. So anyways, as far as notorious mass effect episode 156 is titled, is Expedition 33, the greatest game of all time. And of course, for the music portion, we have Abraham, I mean 21 Savage, more formerly known as. And then of course, we have the one and only Tito double Pee. and Paiso pluma with their album Dynastio and then of course we're getting into Poo Shisty as if you don't know that man has one of the top tracks in the world currently

but we're about to get into that in the second and then we're also going to finish your music portion with a little E S D which is crazy because Timothy Shalame is out here supposed to be in a whole ping pong movie and marketing that and for some reason this man is out here in a whole rap track and guess what it went absolutely crazy on the charts so that's what we have for the music section for the industry section we have warner bros and netflix merion and i see you paramount i see you i just want to tell you right now stop stalking you know what i'm saying shepherd no somebody got to tell them to stop stalking warner bros sometimes in a relationship and this is not a red pill podcast this is a

a informative podcast, but I just got to get on my relationship advice tip. Definitely not red pill, but you get the point as, you know, but a lot of people commonly refer to it as. In a relationship, if somebody is telling you know, for the first time, you should believe him and you should walk away. But the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, sixth, six, seven, eighth time, I'm like, hold on now. somebody called the police.

Who do they do? I said, somebody called the police. Who do they do? And we beat these folk? What do they do? We beat them. We go forward.

Because Paramount is just out here completely not accepting the Warner Bros. And Netflix merger. So they're out here trying to basically stop that deal by any means necessary. Like honestly,

if I put it into, if I look up, what's the latest happenings of that? And this is very crazy. Like, I've never seen a company act like this. It's literally, like they can operate if they don't get Warner Bros. They're acting as if this may be their last chance to not go bankrupt.

Like literally Paramount has his one specific post where they're talking about trying to expedite the lawsuit. Because as you can see right here, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio. Basically Paramount has written the lawmakers to say that Netflix acquiring Warner Bros would be presumptively unlawful. They argue the deal would further cement Netflix's dominance in streaming video on demand.

So safe to say, Paramount's not taking no for an answer, and I just want to know, where's the police? I mean, obviously, they're stalking. Obviously, they won't take no for an answer. At some point in time, the police just got to step in and let Paramount know that it's completely over, my brother.

So anyways, Then we transition as far as staying on industry news. We're going to get into the Game Award winners, which is why you see Expedition 33 on the gaming side of the cover, because, of course, they completely swept the Game Awards, but I have a lot of interesting takes as far as the Game Awards and why certain games won the award they did. And we're going to answer the elephant in the room

as far as why does Jeff Keely hate Sonic fans? Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? So when it comes to that, we're going to break it down like a key Lord Miley Cyrus. And it's safe to say when it comes to Fallout Season 2, we're also going to get into that because that's one of the more talked about and one of the more critically acclaimed TV shows as far as adapting a video game that's out there currently. Now transitioning to the gaming portion of the episode.

Of course, we're going to get into Diablo 4. We're going to get to CSGO. We're going to get to Whiteout Survival. The mobile game. we're going to get into kirby we're going to get into um you know it's funny i'm a whole whiteboard did i put the right okay yeah that's it okay so with that being said then we're going to transition into drama and with the drama side of things you already know we had a full slate that's why we didn't have as many on the gaming side because we had a lot on the industry side a lot on the drama side

and of course speaking on drama we have to start out with diddy versus 50 cent you guys See, that's the problem. And of course, we got to get into Call of Duty versus Battlefield 6. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? And then last but definitely not least, in the drama field, we have to get into Ebro losing his job. And Drake immediately going at him to tell him die slower.

But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on? When I tell you all, we have a jam-packed section, as far as the drama portion of this episode. I'm just going to leave it at that. So with that being said, that is episode 156 as far as everything we're going to dive into.

You already know we have to start off with the top 10 albums currently as far as in the world. And you already see, I know you see this right here. You know, who's that? Tito, double Pee and Paiso Puma. And the album that put them on the cover for this specific episode,

comes at number 10. Obviously, when it comes, the actual album it slid a little bit but definitely debuted it debuted higher and of course as far as the singles it's currently currently has 14 tracks well they currently have 14 tracks in the top 50 in Mexico and of course they have two popular tracks currently as far as overall and i think one of them is if i was to look it up right now let me see one of them is dopamine that's currently the 78th most play track in the world and then you have dano that's currently the 88th most play track in the world so this album by peso pluma and tito double p is doing absolutely phenomenal but they're

they are currently at the number 10 slides as far as the 10th best the 10th most engaged with album in the world currently now at number nine we have the one and only Alex warren with his album you'll be all right kid then of course we have well before we get to Morgan waller safe to say when it comes to the actual top 10 the main thing are all always want to do and showcase the market share because I think that's a big deal especially to showcase what the big dogs are fighting for as far as market share so as you can see right here ladies and gentlemen analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio but as you can see right here the

market share currently UMG has a whopping 57% you guys and then of course Sony has 21% Warner music group they have 20% and then of course other which is individual well independent acts and smaller labels they have a whopping 2% now i'm not trying to downplay them or demean them for having 2% because of course being the independent act is it's very tough i'm just you know putting it playing as day so you can see these analytics as i showcase it so anyways getting back into the list so morgan waller how in the world does he have two albums in the top to him well let me tell you right now if you're just willing to say the hard er shepherd all right my fault but you know all jokes aside morgan wallace said the hard er and he's still having the most

success in his career make that make sense so anyways morgan walling his album one thing at a time is currently the eighth most play album in the world and of course the second album is the most play album in the world as far as his album i'm the problem so getting into number seven sabrina carpenter where her album a man's best friend is the seventh most play album in the world and then who is that but then you know what i'm I was like, damn. Shout out to Siza for representing R&B in the only way that is possible for us, we're from a superstar R&B act because Siza is carrying R&B on her back when it comes

to exposure and engagement. Because of course, from a quality standpoint, I think Chris Brown's track, I think it depends. I forget what the track is called. Let me see. Chris, oh, it's actually now on the charge right now. no, my, I'm looking at albums. I think it depends.

Yeah, okay, so Chris Brown's track, It Depends, is currently the 18th most played track in the world. And that Kalani, her folded track is out of here. It's currently out of here. I mean, it's been on the charts for about, what does that say, 30 weeks? It's been on the tracks for 30 weeks, and it's currently the seventh most played track in the world. That's actually insane.

But of course, this is about discography. So when it comes to discography, Siza is putting R&B on her back. as you can tell she's the only real rnb artists on this list now no disrespect to anybody else that claims to doing rnb but i believe cizz is like the only rmb artists on this list so anyways her album sOS which you know now i got to do it because i think people be disrespecting cizzo left and right like she ain't carry side seven but you know they they just say i'm a kendry uh hater you know i mean a drake stand so you know when it comes to the actual fact you know you got pull it up so czah one of the

most popular albums, one of the most popular artists in the world, right? And don't forget, she just dropped a track with Doshi titled The Girl Get Up, if y'all was wanting to listen to that. But as well as being the sixth most play album in the world and coming out December 9th, 2022, I mean, come on now. You guys. I mean, that's just the same. That's just the same.

Talk about longevity. This album is doing literal. dreamlike analytics. So anyways, Tate McCray and her album so close to what is currently the fifth most play album in the world. And then you have the one and only K-pop demon hunters, which this specific

soundtrack was already the most popular and most successful soundtrack ever. And it's still going strong as it's coming in at the number four, at the number fourth most listened to project in the world. Not even soundtracks, not putting it into a little category. We're talking about

every project in the world. And it comes in number four. And it's a soundtrack by a K-pop group. Actually insane. I don't think BTS, New Jeans, Black Pink, I don't think they've ever had this amount of success on the charts for one particular project. So shout out to K-pop Demon Hunters as far as the soundtrack being the fourth most played project in the world.

And then we have Olivia Dean with her album, The Art of Loving. And that album is currently the third most played album in the world. And then you have Taylor Swift. The biggest gangster in the industry. Is it okay? I got my dope on me? That basically is bringing her dope any time a hip-hop artist wants to drop.

No, you know, because I got to bring it up because Jermaine and Drake out here trying to drop the album and every time it looks like an inclination of a rollout. Taylor Swift puts out a deluxe track. She puts out a deluxe vinyl. She does not care about any of these rappers. And you know what?

I'm not mad at it. You guys. See, that's the problem. If Taylor Swift wants to bully these rap rappers after Kanye drug her through like hell and back, then, you know, hey. You know, if Taylor Swift wants to keep dragging these rappers, then I guess rappers got to come together to go at Taylor Swift because she's the real Thanos. Everybody going there, Drake. You don't see Drake name anywhere on here. Well, you probably will.

Not probably. You will see it when Iceman come out. But I don't think is going to have this type of longevity as far as. Taylor Swift, the life of a showgirl. Because ever since it came out, it stayed in the top three as far as most play projects. And here it is again at number two. And then, of course, the one and only Morgan Wallin with his album, I'm the Problem, is the most play album in the world.

So to recap, number 10, Paco Pluma, Tito Double Pee with their album, Dynastia. And I just realized, I forgot to put on my beat. I think it's because I play my Christmas track. Let me see. You know, you know, your boy can talk without music, but you know, might as well have that for the audience let me see all right there we go i like to i like to play that for the intro you feel me just a little uh technical uh adjustment on the fly am i tom brady all right right all right all right anyways getting back into the top ten list so yeah puma and tito double p in the

album dynastia coming in at number 10 you have alex warren you'll be all right kid coming in at number nine yeah morgan wallin one thing at a time coming in at number eight you have subrina carpenter and her album man's best friend coming in at number seven and her album SOS coming in number six Tate McCray in her album so close to what coming in number five K-pop Demon Hunter soundtrack coming in number four Olivia Dean the art of loving coming in number three and of course the top two and is the say

they're gonna stay the top two for quite some time it's Taylor Swift in her album The Life of a Showgirl and Morgan Wall and I'm the problem which you know I don't like to give kudos to this man because you know he did say the hardy or but this is still a phenomenal accomplishment because this specific album that's the most played album in the world came out May 16th 2025 and I don't know if y'all know but it's January 26 and it's still the most play album in the world so shout out to everybody who made this list so that being said you know you already know we have to get into the top 10 tracks that's

currently notoriously affected the masses and as far as that specifically safe to say Swift is not playing any games and she has multiple tracks in the top 10 currently and as far as number one it should be no surprise to anybody but of course once i'm able to bring it up and see if i can find this right quick there we go i was trying to get the bill i didn't want to cut off billboard there we go so as the top 10 tracks in the world currently we have the one and only leon thomas and his album or no his track mutt excuse me let me see his song mutt which you know an rnb act having type of longevity on the charts you don't need me to tell you that this has set him up for life not victorious not backyard against all his active careers rolled up into one i believe mutt may be

his biggest revenue driver from a single creation he's ever had in his career so shout out to leon thomas then we have opalite by taylor swift coming in at number nine as far as the ninth most played track in the world we have somber with his track back to friends which is the eighth most play track in the world you have folded by kalani now of course i wasn't going to do it i was going to retire to drop you know i'm saying it's not good to you know we're not technically we're not objectifying kalani we're just appreciating art you know what i'm saying as far as as far as actually appreciating art safe to say aubri graham said it best himself as when he was on the road promote ice man a particular k-docke daft

fan or I don't know if he was a Kendrick fan approached him but it's so fitting for this track folded by Kalani because he said this right here. Stop it. Stop it. Don't look away now. Don't look away. Hold on. Don't look away now. Hey Kalani. You put out a track call folded. Don't look away now. Don't look away now. Don't look away now. Nah. Don't get shot now. You know what I'm saying? Oh, come on Dre. That's a little aggressive. You know what I'm saying? I mean, but I'm basically saying the unspeakable thoughts of a lot of gentlemen out there. Let's just put like that.

I may be doing the Lord's work putting it out there. Give them some praise. Uh-huh. Give them some praise. You know what I'm saying? So all jokes aside, Kalani put out the track title Folded. And of course, in the track, she was talking about Folded Clothes, which a lot of people would like to fold something else.

Let's just put it like that. So anyways, with that being said, the sixth most played track in the world, we have D-J-O I think it's Dejo I don't know how to pronounce his name the end of beginning I remember covering this track But currently it's the sixth most played track in the world and then of course we have Choosing Texas by Ella Langley which we've already covered well we cover all these tracks But anyway shoes in Texas by Ella Langley came in at number five as far as the most played track in the world I make it big a see I can see I'm 25 going on 80 I'm pretty sure y'all can see that And then we have man I need

by Olivia Dean and that's the fourth most play track in the world and then we have Golden by K-pop Demon Hunters that's the third most play track in the world and pay attention to this number right here. Basically shows you how dominant this song is. If you see a high number as far as weeks

as the amount of weeks has been on the charts now if you're new then you wouldn't know that but for the long time listeners or watchers you're probably thinking why are you saying that well you know just in case somebody's new if you see weeks and see a high number that's basically the amount of weeks that has been on the hot 100 so anyways um then we have ordinary by Alex Warren coming at number two

and then of course the biggest gangster in the industry the Taylor Swift and her particular track title the fate of affiliate is the most played track in the world so getting back into the top 10 we have Leon Thomas and his track mutt which you know going back to what I was talking about as far as weeks 48 weeks on the charts goodness gracious I know that ain't who I think it is this man's has such a phenomenal acting career and then to do the same thing in music is just like one of the more talented human beings on earth i know y'all may say i'm glazing but guess what won't they do i know y'all may say i'm glazing but guess what won't they do don't nobody say they glazing when they glazed jamey fox and i think leon thomas is up there as well anyways i know that's going to be a hot take

um taylor swift her track opalite comes in number nine somber back to france comes in number eight Folded by Kalani comes in at number seven. You know what I'm saying? Now, pussy. Don't look away now. Don't look away now. Don't get shy now. We'll fold that up right now.

My fault. I don't even know how Drake keep hijacking my podcast to say that. But anyways, folded by Kalani is the most place track in the world. End of beginning by DGO, however you say his name. Comes in number six. Choose in Texas by Ella Langley comes in number five. Man I Need by Olivia Dean comes in number four.

Golden by K-pop Demon Hunters comes in in number three. Ordinary by Alex Warren comes in at number two. And in The Fate of Affilia by Taylor Swift is the most played track in the world. So those are the top 10 tracks notoriously affecting the masses. And of course, we just previously went over the top 10 albums, notoriously affecting the masses. So switching gears and getting into the top games that's currently affecting the masses, as far as platform, you already know that we have to start with Steam as the top two is never changing.

But guess what? At least we can talk about the rest of the 13. As it's really 12 because of course you see Source SDK-based 2007. I think that's just some type of thing they use to run certain hardware or tools or whatever. and then of course the wallpaper engine so really when you take that away it's 13 and then if you take away counter strike 2 and Dota 2

then you have 11 so really we're getting into the other 11 games as out here in the Torsi affecting the masses on Steam aside from Counterstrike 2 and Dota and Dota 2 that's just always dominating the steam charts so anyways

at I guess we start at 15 might as well start at 15 at 15 y'all like that back back to me uh the horrible drawings hopefully y'all enjoying it i need me like a pin in the pad i'm gonna connect that at some point to my pc anyways lembis company comes in number 15 concurrent player count of 54,000 24 hour peak of 121,000 so shout to lindex company i remember covering that last year and then for some reason people wonder why gt86 will never come out shepherd just look at the state of gaming like

What is going on? You look at Grand The Photo 5 coming in as a 14th most play game on Steam, and then you think to yourself, I wonder, I just wonder, why Rockstar doesn't give a GT6. You guys, see, that's the problem. I'm not saying you can't enjoy the game, but man, can we make Rockstar bleed a little bit? It's almost like when Iron Man was fighting Thanos,

he only got a drop of blood. Rockstar is basically out here like, GTA is basically Thanos. Why should we put out of GTA6? or yeah so with that being said um gtay 5 comes in as the 14th most play game on steam concurrent concurrent count of 55,000 a 24 hour peat of 106,000 then surprisingly we have warframe warframe comes in number 13 62,000 concurrent players 84,000 24 hour player count now of course SD so it's s d we're going to cross that out so we're

going to go right to marvel rivals so marvel rivals but that would be 12 so i know i messed that up last time so marvel rivals would come in at number 11 so shout to marvel rivals everybody counted you out everybody said that you was a dead game you put out one of the best marvel characters in my opinion out as uh the start of 2026 and now they see themselves as the 11th most play game on steam marvel rivals has a concurrent player count of 65,000 uh 24 hour peak of 125,000 and of course we come over here to start due valley and number 10 that's a crazy circle there we go and number 10 start new valley uh 69 000 as far as the concurrent player account 109000 as far as a 24 hour player count and then of course

you have Delta force so as far as Delta force um I've covered that before I don't think there's anything too special about Delta force I'm not trying to make Delta force fans upset But all I'm saying is, you know, as far as this particular game, it's very interesting how I just never been intrigued to play Delta Force. Every other game on this list, I've always wanted to dabbing a little bit. But as far as Delta Force, you know, maybe it's just me being ignorant. I've never been interested in it. But regardless, because, you know, there's a bigger world outside of yourself. Delta Force is, why not I put 11th?

I need help. Come on now. You guys. See, that's the problem. So Delta Force comes in in number nine. And as far as the concurrent player account is 69,000, 24 hour peak, surprisingly, of 122,000. So shout out to them. And then the one and only, the OG, that basically is the only one putting up competition against Fortnite.

Apex Legends comes in at number eight on the Steam platform, 74,000 concurrent player count, 170,000, 24-hour peak. And then we have rest. No, not the map rest on modern warfare. We're talking about the actual game rest. Comes at number 7. 78,000 concurrent player count 150,000, as far as a 24-hour peak, which is a huge number, by the way,

which is probably why I ended up in number seven. Number six, we have wallpaper engine, but we're not going to count that, because, of course, that's a tool. Arc Raiders, surprisingly, is keeping its player base and definitely eating Battlefield and Call of Duty's lunch as them having a concurrent player count

of 140,000 basically the first game to crack over six figures as far as the concurrent player count in this list and a 24-hour peak of 3003,000 and when I say first game I mean like as far as the order we're going and number five they're the first game that cracked six figures as far as concurrent player account so now getting into the other games the rest of the games that also cracked six figures surprisingly and I believe I covered Bongo Cap because I remember making the big deal of about it i was like hey hopefully i never think that i'm not passionate about this game and stuff because i took it upon myself may 26 2025 to dive into bongo cat uh bongo cat shall clap it up for me you know i'm new to this not true to this so i was like you know what if i'm going to cover the

entire gaming industry and bongo cat has demanded my respect time and time again i might as well dive into it so that's exactly what we did but anyways uh bongo cat comes in number four on Steam 147,000 people concurrently playing the game in a 24 hour peak of 152,000

and of course we have the one and only PubG Battlegrounds the OG well really the OG's H1Z1 but you get the point the rendition of the OG PubG Battlegrounds

comes in as number three as far as the third most play game on Steam I wonder why it's so high I'm not mad at it being high I think it's a phenomenal game and set the groundwork for Fortnite APEC

legends um you name it right i just wonder what type of updates they're doing to keep their player base engaged i may have to make a revisit to pub g battlegrounds because that's how much i respect them like i really feel like it definitely laid the groundwork for a lot of games to come and laid the groundwork specifically for one of the most popular games in the world so anyways pub g battlegrounds uh concurrent player count is currently 279 000 with a 24 hour peak of 6404 43,000. You have Dota 2 coming in at number 2 with a 442,000 goodness gracious concurrent player count and a whopping 708,000 for the concurrent peak with a 24 hour peak. So unsurprisingly, Dota 2 is number 2 and then you know hints the drop I just played.

What comes in at number 1? Of course counter strike 2. This is the most dominant I've ever seen a game on platform ever mario i don't think is the dominant on nintendo as far as playstation i don't know what would be dominant on there maybe call a duty Xbox i don't know what's dominant on there in minecraft like counter strike two i think it's the most dominant on this respective platform that i've ever seen any other game not mario not call a duty not minecraft counterstrike two is currently putting up a mammoth amount of revenue off of micro transactions because you just recently deep dive in the Counter Strike 2 because just like PubG Battlegrounds I always have respect for them But of course as far as a deep dive that didn't come until December 18 2025 as far as my counterstrike 2

Sales and Review Roundup but really it was just diving into the multiple reasons the multiple facts on why players keep coming back time and time again So shout out to Counterstrike 2 once again for being number one on the steam platform Going back over the top games currently notoriously affected our masses on Steam We have Limbus Company that comes in number 15, Grand The Final 5 that comes in number 14, Warframe that comes in at 13, Marvel Rivals that comes in in number 11, Star Dew Valley that comes in number 10, Delta Force that comes in at number 9, Apex Legends that comes in number 8, Rust that comes in number 7, Ark Raiders that comes in number 5, Bongo Cat that comes in number 4, PubG Battlegrounds comes in number 3, and of course the top 2, the top 2, that's never changing. Dota 2 comes in number 2. And of course, the one and only Counter Strike 2 continues as dominance on the Steam platform.

So those are the games currently notoriously affected the masses on Steam. So now let's switch our gears and get into a load of Xbox as when you look at them specifically, I used to bring up the Game Pass sales as far as the top play games on Game Pass. Well, of course, since they increase the prices on Game Pass and to absorb it in the MAPS,

out i don't think there's no longer a fair metric especially when this metric exists and what i'm talking about is the top paid games on x-box so with that being said coming in number one you already know minecraft is going to continue to dominate the xbox landscape so coming at number one we have my craft coming at number two interestingly enough is arc raters shout out to arc raiders basically eating call of duty and battlefield six is lunch because you don't see them anywhere on this top six list. Now, of course, when it comes to the top 10, you know, skipping around a little bit, Call of Duty is at 9 and 10, but the 9 of top 6.

Surprisingly, Arc Raiders is really becoming a mammoth in the shooting genre as far as what players are playing time and time again. So, but that being said. Minecraft, the Java and Bad Rock Edition comes at number three. I know that's the worst three you've ever heard or ever seen in your life, but hey, guess what? Y'all got to deal with it. Won't they do?

I said y'all got to deal with it. You know what I'm saying? So anyways, I'm not going to lie to you. Guys, now, usually I don't judge. I don't try to be that uptight gamer that basically is out here saying which games you should or should not be playing. I'm going to try to look at this cover right quick. How in the world? I say how in the world is Choo Choo Chou Chal's the fourth.

most played game on Xbox. Shepherd. Just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? I mean, y'all see this cover? What in the actual? What in the Freddy Cougar? What in the Jason?

What in the Chucky? Shepherd. All right, you get the point, right? This game cover is beyond insane. And somehow, it's the fourth most play game on Xbox. So if it stays up there, we're definitely going to deep dive into it as far as the following month. because, you know, as far as this episode recap happening later in the month of January,

you're definitely going to get more recap back to back as far as... I mean, we're doing the episode every month because it's so jam-packed with content. But as far as the episode dropped, this is going to come out, you know, sometime this week. And of course, at the top of February, which is my birthday, by the way, of course, we'll begin the next episode. So that's what I'm talking about as far as it being shorter in release dates. So anyways, ready or not keeps being one of the more underrated games, I think, in history, as it is number five. So you're probably saying, how in the world is underrated? I believe there's maybe a hot tape.

Even though technically it already was out on PC, it coming out on console. Wait, hold on, because let me fact check this. Okay. Let me see, do some Mickey Research right quick. That was the year. Ready or not? Okay, after doing some Mickey research, which I'm completely unashamed about, ready or not came out on consoles July 15th, 2025.

So a hot take, hot take, I believe ready or not should have been on the nominee list a game of the year. You guys. Now hear me out. I know what you're saying, but what place would have taken? Like all of these games in one of the most jammed. impact quality years for gaming what place would have taken well that's for actually no because if i'm going to say that i got to talk about game they sure took out

so to make a little detour right quick let me see the game awards it's going to be very quick because all we're going to do is just go to the um the category for best for uh for the winners yeah okay so game of the year it was uh as you can see right here it was clear obscure it was deaf stranded to donca conan banza hades to uh halle night's hook on kingdom come delivers too now i'm not gonna lie to you it's maybe a hot take death strand of two and donkey congong they got to go oh my fault y'all can't see it um death strand of two and don't get that up out of here because split fiction and i believe ready or not should have been on this list now call me a ball and gun gamer but guess what split fiction ain't a ball and gun game i mean

technically technically it is shepherd yeah my fault technically it is but you know at the end of day split fiction is not in the casual gamers roller decks as far as games i think split fiction and ready or not should have been the contender one of the contenders for a game of the year but that's just me a little hot take and you know exposure engagement does not equal to quality but i think if you play ready or not it's very well deserved as far as all the engagement and people uh coming in droves to play that game i may be a little biased because i enjoyed this game thoroughly with my cousin was still going to be playing it this year but um i think it's one of the better games of last year honestly it was in my top three as far as last year it was uh my top three was uh split fiction in number one

um i think yeah ready and i was at number two and then dispatch i think was at number three so yeah i mean there you go that there's my list so anyways uh forza forza horizon five comes in number six ironically and then of course that's the worst six you ever seen but it's okay because we're about to get into 7 through 10 so as far as 7 through 10 safe to say arc Raiders had to show his head again it was like hold up now we're not done dominating the shooter genre the shooter market if people boot up a shooter I ain't gonna lie to you eight times out of 10 it's probably gonna have arc Raiders on his uh roller decks because as far as because Arc Raiders,

the Deluxe Edition coming in at number 7, and the original edition being at number 2, safe to say everybody in their mom has been flocking towards Ark Raiders. And Battlefield and Call of Duty has a very interesting problem that they're going to have to figure out very soon. So anyways, as far as that, Call of Duty seems to not have that big of a problem because at number 8, we have Call of Duty Blackop 7,

vault edition upgrade. Now, I don't know what the difference is between the Vault Edition and the Regular Edition, because as you can see right here I don't know why I cuts it off one way why's it cut off the cross gym bundle okay yeah so this is the cross gym bundle um I know I'm skipping around but basically it was cutting off it was but it was bothering me so this is the cross gym bundle that came in at number 10 on Xbox and then of course in number nine we have who's your daddy pulse goodness you guys see that's the problem so anyways going back over the

top ten list as far as the games the Torridor the adversely affecting the masses on Xbox. We have Call of Duty Blackop 7, the Cross Gym bundle. At number 10. We have Who's Your Daddy? At number nine, we have Call of Duty blackup seven, vault edition upgrade at number eight.

We have Arc Grators, the Deluxe Edition, at number seven. And then, of course, and then of course, we have Forza 5, Forza Horizon 5, ironically, at number 6.

Man, what's up with me in these numbers? at number six there we go we have ready or not and number five we have choo choo charles which is the most outlandish positioning on this entire list because who in the world like i'm not going to judge y'all maybe i just need to see the game for myself that is a crazy cover one of the craziest video game covers i've ever seen in life so shout out to the true true charles players out there because obviously y'all are supporting in droves so chuch choo charles and number four Minecraft, Java and Bedrock Edition at number three, Arc Raiders at number two, and then of course, Minecraft and Java and Bedrock Edition for PC comes in at number one. So those are the top 10 games currently notoriously affected the masses on Xbox.

So you already know, we got to switch gears and get into the top 10 games on the Sony Pony machine. I mean the PlayStation I have a whole PlayStation they're gonna be like Why are you talking mess about PlayStation players I technically I have every console I ain't trying to flex You know what I'm saying

No I ain't trying to flex I was just letting them know You know what I'm saying I'm true to this Not new to this anyways What that being said Kling the suspense right off the bat NBA 2K 26 is number one on PlayStation

Shout out to PlayStation If you don't know PlayStation I think is a better rendition of what the field looks like in gaming because for every 5 PS5 sold, there's like one Xbox series X and S sold. So PlayStation by far on the way is the biggest player base for consoles.

So this is a broader scope on what console players are actually playing. So at number two, we have Fortnite. And number three, we have Call of Duty. Okay, okay, I see Call of Duty. Yeah, fight back. I see that. Hey, Battlefield who?

You know what I'm saying? Arc Raiders, who? you know what I mean so anyways arc graders comes in number four look at me just trying to start beef arc writers comes at number four

EA sports mad at NFL 26 comes in number five and then we have Roblox it comes in number six oh my goodness that's the craziest six I've ever seen I definitely I need to get one of those things where you can connect it to your PC

and just be drawing it you know what I'm saying that's all enough is enough about time I invest and something like that. Anyway, getting into 7 through 10, I believe we're on 7, right? Yeah, getting on 7 through 10.

Interestingly enough, well, not interesting, because you already know, GTA 5 fans are going to keep playing this game until GTA 6 never comes out. And guess what? It's never going to come out. So, number 7, we have GTA 5. E8 Sports FC26 comes in at number 8.

Gets you an impact. That's an interesting placement. They come in in in number 9. And of course Marvel rivals and I think Deadpool had a lot to do with this, but you know, of course it comes in number 10 So getting into the top 10 games notoriously affecting the masses on the PlayStation platform We have Marvel rivals at number 10. We have Genshin impact in number nine We have EA sports FC 26 and number eight we have Grandf Auto five and number seven and then of course if I can get my handy dandy There we go. I said handy dandy. I messed that all the way up come on man

You guys. See, that's the problem. Getting into 6 through 1, we have Roblox. You know, you got to see that. So, you know, I got to zoom in so you, I can see that. Oh, actually, I zoomed it too much. And they play that Kanye drop again. Roblox at number 6.

We have Madden Sports, Madden NFL 26, and number 5. Arc Raiders are number 4. Interestingly enough, Call of Duty did beat out Arc Raiders and Battlefield on PlayStation, so it comes in number 3. Fortnite, the notorious game that's never going away comes in number two and then of course NBA 2k 26 comes in number one Now when it comes to fortnight I think the South Park collab is phenomenal, but I will say if you're gonna keep the essence of South Park They have to be cussing or at least you got to bleep it out is this super Interesting how they're able to disney file all of these characters and nobody says anything

When Call of Duty does it Yeah, I'm snitching when Call of Duty does it Woo de doo. And we beat Eiffo. Woo de du, we beat them. We go forward. All you know what breaks loops when the call of duty tries to get these crossovers to happen. So anyways, that's the top 10 games notoriously affecting the PlayStation platform.

So now you already know that we have to go to Nintendo World. And starting off with the top three, because you can't do all 10, because they have, like, weird ads and stuff. So I don't know what it's saying. Like, it's in Chinese. So anyways, starting off with top three, as you can tell Mario is at the top because you know the savior of gaming

we put a misrespect on Mario's name over here. We rep Mario over here. You know what I'm saying? You come to Mario's block. All right my fault, I ain't going to let you know what's going to happen but y'all get the point. Mario, the savior of gaming deserves to be on number one as far as this specific list as it is

Nintendo. So Mario KartWirl is number one currently with 2.7 total million copies. Crazy. insanity. Pokemon Legends Zah Nintendo Switch 2 edition is currently at number two interestingly enough and it has a total of one point no basically has one million total copies and then of course we have Pokemon Legends Zod that comes in number three that currently has 1.5 million copies so you see even people over

in Nintendo land are hesitant to get to the next best console as far as upgrading the hardware so the reason I said that was just to be petty, no other reason. So, getting into 4 through 10, getting into 4 through 10, we have Montero

Electric Railway 2. Your town is sure to be there. EA or East Japan plus West Japan. Hey, don't get mad to me. How are you pronounced that EA? It's cut off. The EA and the ST is separate, on separate lines, all right? Just in case you listen to the audio

version. That's all right. So anyways, Um, Momotaro, Electric Railway 2, your town is sure to be there, East Japan plus West Japan. Comes in number four, 294,000 total copies currently. Um, Mo Motero Electric Railway 2 again, but this is the Nintendo Switch 2 edition. Comes in at number 5, and it has a total of 241,000 copies. Kirby's Air Rider is at number 6. And, you know, at first I was thinking people wasn't putting respect on Kirby's name. But I guess I got to take that back.

Y'all finally's out here putting respect on one of y'all flagship characters for the Nintendo platform. So Kirby Airwriters comes in number six, but it has, it currently has 472,000 total copies. And then the iconic, the legendary Animal Crossing, which if you was wanting to get a fired date with a gamer girl out there, just let her know that you play Animal Crossing. Shepherd, just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? I'm just letting y'all know the state of gaming. You know what I'm saying? Nothing too crazy.

So anyways, Animal Crossing comes in at number 7 with a whopping 8.3 million total copies. Now, it did come out of 2020, but that's still a monumental accomplishment. Minecraft comes in at number 8 with 4.1 million total copies. Donkey Kong Bonanza comes in at number 9 with 160,000 total copies. copies Mario car 8 deluxe comes in at 6.5,000 goodness gracious and of course it rounds off the top

10 so it comes in number 10. So recap in the top 10 games notoriously affecting the masses on Nintendo Switch we have Mario Car 8 deluxe at number 10 Donkey Kong Bonanza at number 9 Minecraft at number 8 Animal Crossing at number 7 Kirby's Air Rider at number 6 Momotaro Electric Railway 2, the Nintendo Switch 2 edition. And number 5. Momo Tarro Electric Railway 2, the regular edition. So Nintendo Switch, you know, the base edition. And number four.

And then, of course, the top three is never changing as these are some iconic franchises just in gaming history, let alone Nintendo. So top three is no surprise. As number three, we have Pokemon Legends Zah or Z-hyphen-A, however you want to be ignorant. Pokemon Legend Z-a Nintendo Switch 2 edition coming in in the number 2 and then the one and only Mario who is the savior of gaming coming in the number one again with Mario Kart World so that being said those are the top 10 games notoriously affecting the masses on Nintendo and then hold up now you already know that we have to put immense respect on the mobile gaming community so over here there's not a lot

of things to go to as far as finding the top 10 list of mobile games but guess what your boy shepherd shepherd yeah your boy shepherd went out and basically had a cross-collaborative effort and this is the list I came up with so as far as the top 10 mobile games currently affecting the masses we have Pokemon go at number 10 and basically I'm not going to read off the stats you can see right there I'm not going to insult your reading ability you know what I'm saying but these are some of the the key notes to know about these games so I'm personal all type of of buttons right now all right and then number nine we have honkai star rail coming in well i already said that coming in number nine uh top 10 in revenue i may say it if it's like uh something i feel like

needs to be said at number eight we have block blast which we've covered before and interestingly enough is number one and downloads and it had 38 million plus in december shout to the block blast fans out there just completely supporting a game that you know it just constantly i say it's just just constantly blowing up stuff shout out the blockblast coming in at number eight candy curse saga comes at number 10 top six to 10 revenue as far as uh 83 million estimated for december like i said there's a reason why we put in respect on these mobile gamers out here they still make up a lot of the revenue pool for the gaming industry anyways monopoly gold comes in number six made a estimate of 108 million just past

December Roblox comes at number five estimated to make around to have made around 118 million in December and interestingly enough is number two in downloads whiteout survival which we've also covered comes in top three as far as revenue 106 million as far as in December and of course we have Royal Match coming in number three top three revenue globally a hundred million estimated for December honor of kings is at number two but it is number one revenue overall as far as the entire year being considered and then you look at number one and of course the ad that had everybody and their mama in a chokehold because they thought a game was coming along with it but then they realized

there was already a game out there that had a mini game similar to what the ads were portraying but those ads didn't have a game that existed beyond that specific advertisement. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming like what is going on. And that may sound confusing at first, but of course you can type in Last War analytic dreams with a Z because I completely dove deep into how that misconception happened and what was the real reason for this game being called a fake game. Because Last War and Survival did benefit from those advertisements, but those fake

advertisements was for a game that didn't exist. But Last War Survival actually had that gameplay loop and it's any game. So anyways, currently is number one. 140 million in revenue, the fastest growth title. So anyways, getting back into the top 10, hopefully I can see that. Hopefully it's not too low. I'll probably just zoom in and scroll up. So Pokemon Go comes in at number 10. Honkai Star Rail comes in number nine. Blockblast comes in at number eight. Candy Crush Saga comes in number seven. Monopoly Goh comes in.

in number six, Roblox comes in at number five, whiteout survival comes in at number four, Royal Match comes in at number three, and of course the top two for the mobile games notoriously affecting the masses is Arnoff Kings that comes in at number two and last war survival that comes in number one. Those are the top 10 mobile games currently affecting the masses and with that being said, we are now ready to dive right into episode 158. that is titled once again is Expedition 33, the greatest game of all time.

Huh? Hold on now. What? No. You can't be saying all that. What he just say? What's the word? Atlanta really a pedophile. Because Atlanta... 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, I just want you to know that in the sport of using your words

to gain monetary value, right? This man in a whole interview, no beat, no BPM, no nothing. had all the time in the world to construct his sentence and he basically said let me write it back one more time what's the word Atlanta really a pedophile you guys see that's the problem now of course whenever getting into abraham paul's aka 21 savage i think it is apparent that i let you know that his album what happened to the streets is out now as it's 14 tracks 47 minutes in length. And of course, when it comes to the goat, the mascot, the epitome of what success looks like in hip-hop.

Shepard. All right, my fault. Glaze set to the side. Drake is on this album. You know what I'm saying? Is it okay? I got my dope on me? And it's safe to say he had this dope on him,

as I think that was definitely one of the standout tracks off of the album. Now, I know what you're saying? You're a huge Drake fan. Of course you're going to say that. And of course I will. 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, when it comes to Abraham, he also gave more tidbits as far as this three-hour interview that I would highly suggest y'all go watch as far as the Big Facts interview with 21 Savage. And it's safe to say, I have some interesting tidbits. So we're going to consolidate it here, but definitely go watch the full thing.

If you wanted to hear him talk about other things and basically expound upon his point of Atlanta being a pedophile. But we're going to switch gears right quick and have him talk about the game. goat, right? Drake told me and Metro. Okay. That he understood where he was wrong.

And he apologized multiple times. Hold on now. Now my go out here apologizing. What? You guys. I know, I know Aubrey Graham did not just apologize to Lee LaWain for saying that he made drums. Like, come on, 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? Anyways, I'm going to let Abraham finish his point. But I feel like. Okay. Metro just felt how he felt but I feel like now Metro is kind of more open-minded. I feel like he like I don't know I feel like Metro been through a lot so you know like I feel like

sometimes the shit just don't be the right time but I'm trying it don't be at the right time guys like you know if you ever heard one of the greatest unreleased features of all time then you heard Drake's verse off a trance you know what I'm saying can I get an amen you guys And with that being said, that was really one of the building blocks to Metro Booman and Drake's Beef. Whole time, Aubrey Graham is being the goat in the studio, right? He's like, we put on the feathers for this type of weather. I thought it was love and then when it was, like he was going crazy, right? And Leland Wayne said, come on, man.

I know that ain't who I think it is. And he got him up out of that studio expeditiously, just as a true hater, right? but I'm going to be eight more than I'm going to keep it eight more than 92 because when it comes to Metro Boomin and the passing of his mom which is very serious so you know rest and peace to his mom one of the things that was very apparent is that there was some friction between the way Drake handled Metro Boomer's grieving via his mom passing right so when Abraham is talking about Drake apologizing. Safe to say it's not just because, oh man, I'll forgive you for letting Kendrick say, forget the big three, it's just big me. It's not because of that. It's basically

Drake's apologizing for, you know, basically pushing somebody to send something while he was going through grieving stages. That's what I'm believing at. Because of course, these are estimated, you know, these are just reports, right? It's not like we just had 21 Sabbaths co-s on it. At the end of the day, I always say my sources are made it up. You feel me? You guys. So, be it said Drake was very insensitive when it came to Leland Wayne in the passing of his mother. So that was one of the main frictions between those two gentlemen. But now, it seems as if Drake did apologize, so maybe Metro's trying to come around and be like, you know what, maybe it's not forget you.

You know, I did construct Voltron of anti-Drake artists. But now that I did that, put that to the side in the mascot of that Voltron unit, has went on a sabbatical, we can be friends again. And ladies and gentlemen, I think that's some of the faked stuff in the world. But, you know, the whole music industry is fake. So, with that being said, speaking of fakeness, let's talk about Abraham and his conversations with Gunner, because Laura knows he would not be talking to Gunner if he wasn't as hot.

So let's talk about him right now. Like, some niggas look at saying a dad-nigger did some shit is telling. I don't look at that like telling. If I go on the move with my mind... All right, that's not gonna. Hold on. I have the whole conversation with him with Gunner. I'm trying to see if I can find it.

Oh, here we go. Video now. So I'm telling him like, bro, that shit, the shit looked bad, twin. He's like, man, the lawyer tricked me, man. I ain't even know like. Not the lawyer tricked him. He pulled a young thug.

That boy poured a young thug. That boy poor to Jeffrey. All right, my fault. Y'all got the point, right? As far as truly humble under God, safe to say, I believe that now when you look at the gunner situation and him saying that he was tricked, it seemingly is eerily similar to how Jeffrey was out here saying you know what I didn't snitch I just did a little

you know what I'm saying I just tried to throw the cops for a loop right while saying anyways let's get back into his uh Abraham's conversation with Gunnetello so I'm like goddamn I'm like shit you can't get a plea back because because before he before Gunny even got locked up he was calling me and I would like when they put the shit out like they was looking for him Hey, what they tell you? What will he tell you, savage? I told him like, bro, don't keep running because that's going to fuck up your chances of getting

a bond even more, the longer you got down. Like, go ahead and turn yourself in and shit. No, that's real, that's real solid advice right there. I ain't going to lie to you. So, goddamn. I told him like shit, see if you can get a plea back, like, I'm telling you it's going to make you look a certain type of way, like, to the public. Like, it's going to stain you.

I believe you that you didn't know what you was doing. I ain't going to lie, bro. Clap it up for Abraham, bro. Clap it up for Abraham. I ain't know if that was Abraham talking to Brian Steele himself. You know what I'm saying? Like at the end of day, that boy Abraham know what he's talking about as far as getting around the law, allegedly. So that being said, the main thing I was wanting to do was just definitely point out some snippets as far as Abraham talking about his conversation with Gunna, him saying how Drake's the goat, you know?

Like, simple stuff like that, right? As far as his album being out, as far as getting into my personal review, I think the album's pretty solid. there's not a lot you can expect from abraham because the main thing about him is that he's more of a condiment than the whole meal right he does better as a feature because i think it's because of him and his monotone status there's only so many different lanes you can go in with a voice like that pulse as far as him not being able to branch out into like an rmb lane or branch out give us a dance hall like some people are really good at the lane they're in i will compare twinna savage to like a gunna his tonality is very distinct so that whenever he gets to well really what gunna is his flow but

basically with 21 savage his tonality is a very centric on his identity and it seems like he he basically leaned into that on this specific album because he's rapping way slower and he's keeping his 21 savage type of tonality throughout the entire album really no type of tonality changes in the entire album so if you like 21stalli so if you like 21 savage he's keeping his 21 savage type of tonality throughout the entire album so if you like 21 Savage as far as his older music, I think you'll like this album. It's not a bad album by any stretch of imagination. It's just not going to blow you out of the water, right? So, with that being said, I did want to transition and get to some of my favorite tracks on the particular album right now. Oh, don't mind me, just watching some promotional, some marketing

material from the one and only Abraham more commonly referred to as 21 Savage. you know i can't stop thinking to myself this is a very interesting trailer i'm not saying but this is a i because that would be messed up right that would be crazy you know this type of animation right here that's definitely not a i you know what i'm saying looking at this promotional marketing material is very interesting and of course we're going to get into feature talk in the second but at the end of the day somebody has to call it out because i think this is a very very interesting use of AI because at the end of day artist's objective to to somebody that what we just witnessed analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with

audio that was a masterpiece it's to say there was a second trailer that dropped for what happened to the streets that's also dropping this Friday so let's watch this as well now once again I'm not saying this is AI I'm just saying that artist subjective and at the end of day you do that information which you will Because who kid is that? No, not for real, bro. Come on. But then, you know what I'm saying?

I was like Tim. Come on, man. I know that ain't who I think. Hey, bro, who kid is this? Now, they show me somebody kid. That was actually walking the streets like this while being filmed? Because, you know, obviously, they're probably doing it for marketing promotion only. But what in the world is going on right here?

Somebody get a little Timmy. You guys. See, that's the problem. This is crazy. You know what I'm saying? Little Jaquanj is out here Having the time of his life No parent in sight

Crazy Now if this is not AI Then I would be You know I'll take back what I said But it's very interesting Let's just put it like that And then that definitely sounds like something

Up the album I ain't gonna lie as far as the beat So we're gonna lower that a little bit Okay, a little San Andreas tight I think somebody got laid out Or something like that Alright so this once again This is what happened to the streets

Now, of course, artist's subjective. I think he's trying to talk about how maybe the little kid is out here selling drugs. And, you know, maybe that goes back to the ultimate question, what happened to the streets. Anyways, as you see, by the date, that's the main thing we care about. 12, 12, 25, which basically means this Friday album, I mean, 21 Savage is dropping what happened to the streets. So now, so now, it's time to gain the feature talk, as you already know who I want on the album. Is it okay? Come on now.

Are my dope on me? If we don't have a Drake feature on this 21 Savage album, safe to say, I would be highly upset. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? Not only because Abraham and Auburn was out here making some of the greatest hip-hop collab music I've ever heard in life. But also, because I believe when it comes to 21 Savage, not switching on Drake, which is one of the main reasons we haven't got a lot of U.S. features from Drake. I mean, I think, well, no, yeats from the U.S.

Anyways, as far as Drake actually trying to stay to himself, you realize that he's only collab with Central C. He's collabed with Yeat, and he's staying clear away from anybody who's under UMG. Because, of course, the beef is way deeper than a lot of people think as far as, you know, Drake's suing them. So when it comes to 21 Savage album, and you come to look at the credits,

ladies and gentlemen, I know that ain't who I think it is. It says Slaughter Gang LLC under exclusive license to Epic Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. Now, of course, I'm just going to do some, you know, a little due diligence as far as my journalistic integrity. I'm going to go to some sexy songs for you. And you come to realize that when you look at OVO sound

under exclusive license to Santa and the label group, and OVO under exclusive license to Republic, a division of UMG, safe to say that's what the album some sexy songs for you came out under usually for drake is just under umg but because it was a uh collab album with a party next door they had to split the pot with another major label so when you look at party next door and who he's usually under as far let's just go to his last album uh party next door four right let's just go to the credits and you come to realize that he's under ovio sound under exclusive license and the label label group he's

now the main reason i'm pointing this out is because not only is drake separating himself from a lot of different artists but i believe 21 savage is one of the few artists he also is one of the few artists centruc he is one of the few artists who drake is willing to do a collab with because of them not switching sides to the point where when 21 savage was asked about the metro versus drake beat he really didn't take a side and you already know how far back he goes with metro so when drake said 21 Savage, you're the only one ever checked on me on, what was it? Give me a hug. He said something like that.

Like 21 Savage was the only guy who checked on him or something like that. Safe to say, I say all that to say. We should see Aubrey Graham on this album. Is it okay? I got my dope on me? And I think it's going to be dope. As one of the greatest hip-hop duos in history of all time, I think should make an appearance on 21 Savage's latest album.

Because if you look at his past album, he hasn't put out an album but like what it's been like a it's like over a year at this point because american dream which ended up selling 133 000 first week it came out january 12th 24 and you look at it there's no drake in sight so it's not like he's just boggings down with drake features i mean he just had a whole collab album with drake but at the end of day um you did put out american dream after that collab album and it didn't have drake safe to say it's time to spend the block twice like there's nowhere to park for that Canadian. Is it okay? I got my dope on me.

So that's all I really care about. I ain't going to lie to you. I said we just having feature talk. Really, we were just having Drake talk. You know what I'm saying? I only want Drake on this album. I wouldn't be mad if Drake's on here, two, three, four, five. All right? My fault. Y'all get the point, right? So at the end of day, 21 Savage is putting out his album, what happened to the streets. And it's safe to say, I cannot wait. 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 to you in my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias. Will you be streaming 21 Savage album? What happened to the streets when it comes out December 12th? And also, as far as the feature talk, who would you want to see on this album as a feature? Atlanta is really got down. What is it, Savage?

What's the word? Atlanta really a pedophile. Oh, I ain't never think of it like that. You guys. That's crazy. You know, I will let him expound on this point, but safe to say, when it comes to his entire interview, the things that he was saying at the beginning of the interview, I kid you not, he was pulling a whole 180 at the end of the interview. You know, a lot of people like to say, Abraham is a very intelligent human being as far as in the rap game, right? So I think as far as in the rap game, he definitely is very intelligent. When it comes to the interview, not only is he saying a lot of things that counteracts his original point at the beginning.

beginning of the interview, but it comes to a point where he even has to call himself out on the stuff that he said not matching up what he's saying now. And basically, giving an excuse to it being because Big Facts framed it in a certain way, so now he understands. If you don't understand what I'm saying, basically, the snitching argument is as blasphemous as it gets. And let me let you listen to that right now. Okay, so, okay, so let me say something. Me and you, me and you on. And I love the crowd. I'm not going to lie to you. That's not. I'm not going to lie to you. That's one of the best things as far as having a crowd that's into it because it's not, I mean, it's not a crowd. It's the people that they're working for it. I think they did a great job on adding to the conversation because you can see that theatrical play from 21 Savage and Big Bang as the crowd, not the crowd, but the people who's working starting to get into it and really, it started to resemble like there was in front of a live audience. I like that touch. I think the people who's working did a phenomenal job or adding to it, you know, unintentionally. You're on the move. Me and you on the move, nigga.

Yeah. All right. Look, Big Bang looking, y'all can, I'm not going to play the interview, like, as far as the video. But make sure to go watch you. As far as Big Bank, 21 Savage is three hours in length. But when it comes to Big Bank, he over here looking at the people who work and like, hold up now, y'all are you laughing at hell. Is that funny?

Niggas. A nigga telling got down, man, Bank, Bank and Savage rob me. Those folks snatch me up. They bring me in the room. Yeah, we want to know that bank rob him. Nah, hell no. Man, bank was in the bed asleep. I talked to bank.

I feed. I told on you. And then watch, right here, ladies and gentlemen, Big Bank pulled the Yu-Gi-O trap card. You can't tell on you, man. No, no. You can't get what? What if I ain't said that? What you mean?

What if I said I would got there at my mama house? You told that I was in another house. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, not logic. Not logic entering the chat. Hold up now. Hey, bank, boy, I told them folks you was at home. I already have told them to them you'll fuck the whole case up. No, you ain't.

Don't say shit. he's talking very aggressive to Savage right now. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? All jokes aside, these people have known each other for a while. So as far as them going back and forth from what snitching is and things of that nature,

I think it was more of a display for Atlanta more than them actually beefing with each other. They were just trying to play both, you know, devil. I mean, I think Savage actually, I'm not going to say he believes it because he definitely counteracted his point halfway into this interview. but you know as far as big bank I think what he did as far as

being a devil's advocate it was very effective so I think the interview was great similar to the interview with young thug I mean there's a reason I mean come on now that that interview was iconic so anyways getting back into Abraham pause the main thing is that

his album what happened to the streets is 14 tracks 47 minutes in length and is out now on all DSPs and safe to say I did say I was going to get to my personal favorite tracks off of the album so without further ado the main thing i was wanted to talk about especially when it comes to abraham is that his tonality makes it to where i believe that is why he's one of the best featured artists in the game but when it comes to his own

album i remember listening because you know i watch a lot of film you know all myself you know it's just my basketball history coming back up right so as far as listening back to what i used to talk about with 21 savage the main thing was me calling him savagely mid and i don't think it to myself why in the world what i 21 Savage savagely mid when him and Drake have one of the greatest hip-hop collab albums of all time of all time right and now when I look at it I think it's because when he's by himself his tonality starts to be more of a hindrance than a added than an addition to this specific track when you listen to a 21 savage album his tonality does not change in the slightest the things he's talked about is fire right he definitely has fought into his lyrics, especially on the I Wish track, which is the last track, right?

But the main thing with Twinwood Savage is he works so well as a feature because his tonality is always the same. It's like you're not going to get anything different. And as I compared it to Gunna and the way that Gunna flows and how Gunna as a feature, which, you know, he's blackballed but, well, not blackball, but you know, he's out of the, what the academics say, the cool club, right now, you know, they're not really messing with Gunna. But it's okay because Gunna has a whole army by himself as of right now so basically what i'm saying is with gunna his flow is so distinct that when he's a feature he's a he's a huge addition to the track but by himself people start pointing out how it's so similar time and time and time and time again right and with 21 savage and gunna

being multi-millionaires because of releasing music in their flows or their voice why would they change so i'm not mad at 21 savage's album i just wanted to point that out that as far as the top cream of the crop quality hip hop artist i can't put him in that box and neither do i i don't put gun in that box you know uh either because if you don't have enough versatility and you don't have to do what drake does as far as popcorn rn b electronic uh house uh hip hop you know you know you don't have to do it all like him right because he's the goat you know i'm saying all right enough glazing but when it comes to tonality I think it's very distinct

with 21 Savage and if you want to be one of the top hip hop artists in the game I think you do have to have some fluctuation is that the word? You have to fluctuate your voice pulse goodness gracious that sounded flagrant but anyways you have to do that a lot over different beats and I think the ghosts are great at doing it which is why people like Kanye people like Drake are held in such high regard because not only

are they great at giving you different types of flavors as far as music but with the voice they're always changing it in trying to mix certain vocals to hit this pitch to hit that pitch for specific tracks and with 21 Savage is like I don't need any effects I'm just going to rap and then that's what's going to be the album there's nothing wrong with that but just no I think for the for the ghosts of hip hop that is where you start to nitpick and be like okay he's not on this tier but it's still a solid album right so hopefully that makes sense. So my favorite tracks off of this album is Mr. Recoup, of course. I mean, you know, hey, surprise, you know what I'm saying? My favorite track, one of my favorite tracks is, you know,

has Drake on it. I like the vibe of it. I do believe Drake and 21 Savage has some of the best chemistry in hip hop because, you know, everybody beefing. It's not too many duos and hip hop that I look forward to. It's probably Drake and 21 Savage, Kanye and somebody. I don't even know who it did. It just, it could be anybody, right? who else I really like Kendrick and baby keen why in the world

is baby king just gone from the universe like does he not put out music no more he was actually Kendrick and baby keen was actually one of my favorite duos in hip hop

I don't know what happened in him like Kendrick was on top of the world and gave no type of alley to baby king I don't know maybe we have to wait to 2026 because that was crazy

anyways um yeah so that's probably my top three duos in hip hop so that was my favorite track one of my favorite tracks off of the album. The other tracks I like is when 21 Savage is getting into his bag as far as rapping. Safe to say, this album is 14 tracks, right?

And specifically, there's a specific track. I think it comes at number 11. And, you know, the total, as far as the album tracks, it's 14. At number 11, the track is titled Half Time Interlude. Now, I was thinking to myself, what type of, hold on, that wasn't even loud enough. I was thinking to myself, what type of sport is 21 Savage playing? Y'all tell me what type of sport is Abraham playing where halftime happens right before the game's over? You guys.

See, that's the problem. Anyways, with that being said, that was actually one of my favorite tracks off of the album, you know, all jokes aside. But that did, that, that did throw me off. It's like, bro, I just, it's either you obviously took a lot of tracks off to make a DOC album. Or, I said DLC like it's a video game. to make a deluxe album or you just have played

like maybe in you that's what it is the UK you know maybe they have different rules in the UK you know what I'm saying? No I'm just saying you know in the UK they may have different rules or whatever as far as halftime happening right before the game ends anyways

with that being said so halftime interlude the track where Drake um it's probably the second half of this album I like more is between probably Big Stepper or I Wish Both of those is pretty solid But there's a lot of tracks off of here that's really solid I'm just talking about the ones that stand out to me

Half Time and the Lue the one with Drake I Wish definitely stands out because he pulled the game Literally the rapper like the game And started like just name drop I was like goodness gracious Pick those up you guys So anyways yeah he was name dropping all over I wish So I probably say Big Stepper So Big Stepper half time interlude

And then Mr. Recoup which you know has to go on it so with that being said um that's the main thing i wanted to cover i just wanted to talk about this a little longer because of course i do highly respect abraham in the hip-hop game but the main thing is noticing his tonality will hold him back as far as if he keeps giving musical offerings where he's only rapping at a certain pitch that's just me and you know maybe other people don't care similar to gunna fans they can hear him used the same flow over and over and over and over and nobody cares because he does it so effectively. I think that's the same thing with 21 Savage as far as his tonality.

So with that being said, click my link tree in my bio. Let me know on one of my social media is. What is your favorite track off of a 21 Savage's album? What Happened to the Streets? And at the end of the day, do you think that 21 Savage is despite what I just said? Do you believe 21 Savage is one of the best or one of the better rappers in hip hop currently? Isn't it ironic that Shia, Abraham, Joseph can't compete in the holiday season? But then, you know what I'm saying?

I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on? As, you know, the more I cover the entire music industry, I come to realize, as a musician, why in the world would you try to compete with iconic Christmas anthems in the month of December? You guys, see, that's the problem. But safe to say, that is exactly what Abraham decided to do so with that being said he has future projections for his album what

happened to the streets imagine telling somebody to play that while you're in the Christmas spirit anyways the midweek projections for what happened to the streets is set to debut at number seven with 53 units first week but then you know what I'm saying look at the state of hip-hop like what's going to put in perspective ladies and gentlemen safe to say his last album his previous album american dream let me go to the release date of that so what happened to the streets obviously just released uh this month in the year of 2025 american dream just released last year as far as specifically january 12th 2024 so it wasn't that much time between american dream

and what happened to the streets and in that short amount of time he went from having 133 000 units just last year to 53,000. 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 this is very surprising, not only to 21 Savage fans, but also to me in general. But then I come to realize, American Dream was released in January. Safe to say, I do believe when you come to the Christmas season and try to compete,

that's one of the worst things you could do as a musician. Now that I've done more research, I have no one. idea why in the world you would want to compete with Christmas tracks in December. So I'm not mad at it coming in at number seven, but 53,000 is the number I'm looking at and I'm saying it to myself. You guys. See, that's the problem. And obviously, Shia Abraham Joseph also thought it was a problem as he probably saw all the PR coming as of yesterday about him seemingly flopping compared to his last album and he got to tweeting ladies and gentlemen i know that ain't who i think i know abraham the biggest gangster in the industry started getting the tweeting man i know that ain't who was like

time for the clout olympics because guess what we got to get these numbers up so abraham ladies and gentlemen took it upon himself to go to twitter and try to um pair the relationship of a particular um duo well two duos actually as the first duo ladies and gentlemen gun and young thudes as you can see right here analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio um 21 savers said gunna and young thug y'all fix that stuff y'all love each other pause you knew gunna wasn't no gangster when he told the first time and we swept it under the rug for you you know he wasn't trying to leave you to hang man forget the streets we ain't get stuff but trauma from that stuff uh-uh-uh that's how you know it's a pg pocket ladies and gentlemen but then you know what i'm saying i was like damn look at the state of hip hop like

but no abraham wasn't finished because that was a blasphemous statement in itself because what you mean y'all swept under rug when he's when he told the first time i thought wait hold street codes is the lawns going off like you know i don't have a siren on my soundboard but the the sirens are going off like what you mean you're from the streets and you let somebody snitch you let you let a slide because you cool with young thug i thought you know the illogical street culture will tell you that you Postal stand on it even if it means you lose millions of dollars just because it's street code and ethics right the streets have forever made zero sense to me as a civilian and safe to say the hypocrisy is at an all-time high because you're coming at it from a standpoint of oh this is the street code so forget gunner forget making millions of dollars from somebody who came out what f you mean right after he was released forget making millions of dollars with that particular gentleman that currently has one of the most successful hip-hop projects of 2025 while y'all are flopping you know what I'm saying so anyways um yeah of course 21 Savage is going to come out and pull the clout Olympics to try to get those

two brothers in general uh together but this one this one definitely threw me off I was like what in the world he definitely trying to get the number one for how much clout can you garner through tweets as trying to get young thug and gunner wasn't enough for abraham right he came back and he must have been feeling jolly. Ultimately, 21 Savage, the only way to explain this is to say you was in the Christmas spirit, so you felt like giving some motivation. As

21 Savage said, Cuevo, offset, y'all tell the world that I put you in the group text, huh? One of the natural. You guys. See, that's the problem. Why 21 Savage be talking like these ain't grown, man? Maybe I'm tripping. Anyways,

I put y'all in the group text and told you all to squash it. before he even got far. If y'all were still together, y'all would be unstoppable. And to that, I will say, when it comes to 21 Savage, he does seem like to play devil's advocate and to keep it eight more than 92. I do believe Abraham as one of the more peacemaker figures we have in hip-hop. So he's one of the few individuals I could see saying something like this.

Metro could probably, I don't know, I think Metro definitely chose a side. because if you if you remember when gunna came out i believe turbo and i forget who else but turbo is one of the only producers that will work with gunna because they thought gunna was just going to come out and just flop similar to how twin new savage is doing right now shepherd all right my fault um basically gunna came out and just was swinging for the moon right f you me did wonders for his career um no producers besides turbo as far as a recognizable ones really stood on gunna's side so it was really split so the offset and then and quaver one really just threw me off but anyways back to what i'm saying so 21 savage basically is claiming that he's the realest person in this game

and he was even responding to these uh replies of trying to get quavo offset and young thonging gunner together as he said last year i was the realest person for trying to stop thug from exposing gunna now on fake y'all tripping. I know that ain't who I think it is. And this last reply, I ain't gonna lie, this kind of confused me. I don't know who in the world he's talking about. He said QCP. I know he's not talking about P from QC. I just know, I just know he ain't talking about it. I know that ain't who I think it is. I know he ain't talking about QC. But if he is, Abraham said to the, to one of the greatest executives of all time in hip hop history. Abraham said to his face, Oh, well, basically, let me quote Abraham.

So he said, I told you to your face, talking about P from QC. You did wrong at the party, but I never bashed you on the internet because it would have made the city look bad because you was putting all the young people and that would have messed the money up. Now, who in the world is he talking about? Is he talking about P from QC? I would, hold up. I don't like scrolling because you never know what you're going to see on this timeline. Somebody said he's talking about Queens Child Project. See, y'all need Jesus.

let me see who's he actually talking about somebody think he's talking about the city of london this just jokes under here i ain't go cap to you bro somebody just why'd he act uh okay somebody said well said bro he definitely trolling somebody said what is going on off topic okay okay so nobody knows who he's talking about i think he's talking about p from qc because if you remember um if you really look at it he's one the only people who could put quave on offset together and little baby and gunner together because little baby signed it to p from qc reminder p from qc has little baby he has yadi he had the city girls which don't forget how big the city girls movement was in their prime via little yadi riding act up which to the point where even gtcha six has a rendition

of city girls in the upcoming game just to let you know how impactful city girls were at one point in time and then of course you have um of course amigos but when you really look at how the amount of money that little baby has made and they also look and they also see how p from qc has yaddy uh megos city girls this is actually kind of crazy i'm probably leaving out some people but you get the point p from qc he's not in the birdman stature because birdman has wayne drake niki j z has Kanye riana and then um i think that's it but you know that's still a strong too but you know in general um he p from qc is up there he's not in the stature of birdman and jay but he's up to so anyways um abraham coming at him like this is kind of crazy if he is talking about

him but with that being said uh this tweet right here is definitely going to ring off the most i mean even if you look at the impressions right now i mean the closest to that is 340 350 000 which him's you know we're basically replying saying y'all say i was the realist person now y'all sound fake he's basically replying to this one right here that almost has 500,000 impressions so you can already tell this one's going to be the tweet that goes up um and 21 savi said No, no, 21 Savage saying that we forgave him when he snitched the first time? What do they do? My brother.

What are you doing? Who do they do? Ladies and gentlemen. Exhibit A. Is this man not snitching? Who do dee do? And we beat these folk? Who did he?

We beat them. We go forward. Gunner thinking to himself. I know that. I know that's not my brother. Shea being Abraham Joseph talking about when he told the first time. Like, hold him now. You guys.

See, that's the problem. So y'all already covered up gonna be in the snitch. And then now y'all lost millions of dollars because he snitched publicly. I think that's what it is. Street codes are a myth. The ultimate morals or the morale you're supposed to hold as a gangster completely makes no sense. Right? When civilians call it out, they say, don't listen to the civilian because he's not from the streets.

But usually, when, you look at it from a bird's eye view, which is what us civilians are doing for people in the streets. You see things a lot clearer than the people who are actively in the streets. We're letting them know. What y'all are doing is asinine and illogical. What they are saying is we're just a product of our environment, which both two things could be true. So please acknowledge the illogical part, because ladies and gentlemen, this makes no sense. Because of street code, you lost millions, of dollars and let one of the hottest rappers in the game out of your grasp because of course he quote-unquote toad now that's all really wanted to talk about and also i wanted to highlight how you know

shah ben abraham joseph is about to flop uh with his album i don't really hate 21 savage obviously he made one of the greatest albums in my favorite artist discography which is drake i think her loss is one of his greatest albums um i also think some sexy songs for you is one of his greatest albums people don't really what it is maybe it's because it's coming from a drake you know fan right but some sexy songs for you heard loss didn't come out too long ago some sexy songs for you was literally his last project and those are towards the top of his discography as far as quality in my opinion but anyways um why don't say that oh yeah because um yeah because

abraham was a part of the album so it's not like i just completely despised abraham it's just when he came out with his big banks album or no his interview and literally contradicted everything he was seen at the beginning of the interview i came to realize I was like, hold up. I don't think this brother's too bright. You guys. See, that's the problem. And when you make a lot of money, people look at you to have a certain IQ in the game, right? And then you come to realize people like Birdman, people like P from QC, people like Jay-Z, people like Dr. Dre. The executives in the background are really the geniuses that, and the reason they are geniuses is because they have people like this have multi-million dollar careers.

and I'm not saying that 21 Savage is like illiterate right but the negative PR coming from him is one of the worst examples I've ever seen on an artist who was looked at to be high intelligent maker or creator of the piece and hip hop completely have a 180 to the point where he's pulling these clout chasy type moves telling random hip hop duo to get back together when you already know that he does not have the power to get them back together so what ultimately is he doing it for for clout because guess what his album his album what happened to the streets is about to sell 53 000 when his last one just last year did 133,000 in his first week so anyways with that being said click my link tree in my bio let me know in one of my

social media's what do you think about abraham uh what do you think about shah ben abraham joseph putting out his album what happened to the streets and do you think that this is the story the start of the end for 21 Savage as far as his career going on a downward spiral or do you believe that at some point he can raise the engagement back up now as far as the congregation that i'm currently addressing which is the internet i want you to turn with me to the book of genesis chapter 25 to 33 ladies and gentlemen we're going to start off with these particular twins because of course chapter 25 to 33 is a lot that's why pastor dreams is here to help you understand the word shepherd now i'm going to help them understand the word as

jacob and esau were twin sons of isaac and rebecca esau the elder hunter sold birthright to jacob for stew yes ladies and gentlemen for stew you guys and then of course with Rebecca's help Jacob deceived blind Isaac to steal Esau's blessing I know that ain't who I think it is Esau threatened murder

but then Jacob fled after 20 plus years after 20 plus years they reconciled peacefully you guys Jacob became Israel father of 12 tribes

and Esau's line Edomites I don't know what that means but guess what that has been your lesson today from Pastor Dreams you know what I'm saying Go on clap it up

Give them some praise You know what I'm saying Go on give me some praise Yes sir Yes sir thank you Thank you Juski I appreciate it So anyways All jokes

side even though that wasn't a joke that was actually the whole message of genesis 25 through 33 they're probably wondering to you so why in the world did you give us that random sermon well i'm glad you asked as these two particular latin musicians that we've covered to the moon and back if i was to look at my peso plume my coverage it started june 2nd 2023 If I was to look at Tito Double P, my coverage of him started off August 30th, 20th, 2024. It's safe to say there was a particular project

that took over a year to make. More specifically, the project formally began December 10th, 2024, and ladies and gentlemen, it came out December 25th, 2025, which is titled Dynastia, which is Paiso Pluma and Tito Dopp's first collab album. but then that's not it ladies and gentlemen

when it comes to this album safe to say is having a notorious mass effect to the upteenth degree to where I have to point out multiple tracks off of this album as charting in Mexico you're probably wondering how many one two five seven

I'm glad you ask ladies and gentlemen dynastia by Paisal Pluma and Dio Tito P currently has 14 tracks Yes, 14 tracks charting in the top 50

in Mexico And then of course that's not it As usually when it comes to these Latin musicians And my breakdowns and deep dives Into these specific trajectories of these artist's career, which I appreciate y'all For supporting and things that nature You know, he boys on the charts, none too crazy

Only thanks to y'all support, so shout to y'all. Basically A lot of these Latin musicians I cover, even though they have a lot of tracks percolating in the top 50 of Mexico, rarely do you see them in the global standings as far as the top 100, unless it's like a bad bunny, Carol G, etc., right? Tito Double Pee and Paiso Pluma, I am pleased to announce that they have not one, but two tracks in the top 90. As the most popular track, objectively speaking, from their album that they just put out is titled

Dopamina. Dopamina? I think I'm saying it right. Yeah, so dopamine is the most successful track from their collab album and it's currently the 78th most played track in the world. And then of course, there's another track titled Dano that's currently the 88th most played track in the world

and that is globally of course. So shout out to Tito, double Pee and Paco Pluma for making a notorious mass effect. And of course, to do a callback to why I even started off the segment with Jacob and Esau is because what you're seeing on the cover right now, as far as the reflection of the relationship from Tito, O'Do P.P. and Paiso Pluma, safe to say there was some liberties taken as far as, you know,

them using this image. But they was basically trying to say there was family ties. That's literally the only correlation. Paisal Pluma didn't try to kill Tito Doppel or vice versa. It's just for a cultural reference. So Paisal Plum, just to let you know and Tito double P are second cousins and they first met in person in Kulia Khan Sonola yeah Sonola well no Senalo yeah that's I know I was pronouncing it wrong Senaloa when Paiso Pluma was 18 and Tito double Pee was 20 and essentially their relationship grew to the point where Paisal Pluma's music career started to take off but Tito Dopp was always there and he initially wrote

music as a hobby, but they ultimately started to become Peso Pluma's exclusive composer writing many of Paiso's breakout records. So it's only right that they have a whole collab album almost five years into Pesopuma's successful musical career. As if you look at them individually. It's not like one is helping out the other while they're failing as a musician. Both of these artists, respectively speaking, is doing phenomenal on the charts.

As far as the Billboard Year-in top Latin artists in 2025, Tito Double Pee was number four, and I guess he was number five, Peso Pluma. Both of these artists are widely considered the leaders of the new Mexican music movement. And the reason I say that is because not only are these highly acclaimed artists bonded by blood,

but they also are out here impacting and affecting the masses in a way that cousins usually can only dream of, right? So they're living a dream, and now for the first time ever, they have a whole collab album together. And with this album, there's a lot of subject matters. And that's another thing I wanted to dive into before we dive into. two other tracks as far as Dano and Dopamino. The last thing I was wanting to get into as far as the overview of this album is the subject matter. So if you don't know, going back to 2023 through 2025, Mexico had a very interesting stance.

And what was that stance you may ask? Well, I'm glad that you posed that question. As Mexico, tightened narco corridors bands in states like Chihuahua and And no not the dog. I think it's Baja or Baja. California, Neeret, McCokin, I think that's how you say it. And what in the world?

Okay, I think I can pronounce this. Agua Scalentius. Agua Scalentius. Scylintes. Agua Scalentius. Hopefully I said it right. If I didn't, I promise I try my best. So anyways, Mexico Titan and Narcos.

co-coridos in these specific places due to glorifying due to the glorifying of drug violence slash crime rising because of the cartel influence and youth exposure

some cities banned public performances and places like Shia bomb sheenbom opposes outright bans favors

education slash peace promotion over censorship. Now, I'm not going to say which side of the argument I fall on, but all I'm saying is, maybe Atlanta was on to something. What do they do? I said, maybe Atlanta was on to something. What do they do? And we beat these folk? What do they do?

We beat them. We go forward. Now I'm not saying snitching is applicable in this situation. All I'm saying is, I think Mexico did the Lord's work because, you know, sometimes these little Timmy's out here are influenced. and they end up crashing out. That's why I'm believing it at. So when it comes, you know, that was basically the callback, especially when you come

into the continuation of the album, because to bring it back, basically the subject matter had to be restructured, right? And that's because of Mexico's Titan prohibitions on narco corridors. So a lot of the lyrics was restructured. And now artists outside of Paisal Plum, or T O.O.P. are deliberately pivoting away from explicit crime, glorification, drug-centric

narratives, basically something that all hell would break loose if it happened in the U.S. I kid you not. Boy, if there was a bunch of young thugs. Acting like Mexico, man, drill rappers will lose their mind.

I'm not mad at it. 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 that's a debut from Mexico because, but, you know, at the end of day i do i do think you need freedom of speech and that definitely goes against it the main thing is if they're actually doing these criminal activities catching them in a very you know escalated or expedited way right make it quick to catch them if they're doing the crime right but i do think

there's freedom or there should be freedom of expression but also there should be consequences for people who you know break the law so hopefully that makes sense you know i don't know never want to advocate for taking away freedom of speech so anyways um back to pso plume t o double p so that that's basically why the album got reworked and when it eventually came out over a year later they basically surprised the masses as i don't think any bubbling or any type of tidbit surface from this especially in my radar and you know i've been covering latin music like a kilo of myli cyrus you know i'm saying so as far as this latin music coverage i did not know pay so plume and tito double p was going to come out with a whole collab album but one thing i did say

throughout my entire coverage of caritos tumbados is basically how these lat musicians are sticking together in ways that i just wish my preferred genre would stick together as far as hip-hop collabing with one another instead of turning each other down because now as you can tell with the success the massive success of dynastia it is currently one of the most played out albums in the world, objectively speaking, as that album is currently the 10th most play album in the world and they already have two tracks in the top 90 and we're talking about globally and Mexico is going insane 14 tracks and the top 50 for Mexico. So shout out to Tito double Pesopuma. Obviously you already know this is put out under double Pree

records which if you don't know if it is an independent record label ran by Paiso Pluma. pluma founded by peso pluma back on april 2023 and essentially it focused on a lot latin musicians like jaciel nunes who you've covered estavon plazola tito double p of course and with the release of this collab album under double p records along with your cousin it just has to be a tremendous feeling to be on top with the person that you can call family so that being said where we are going to stay on t o w p and peso p and paco pluma and we're going to dive deep into the next track that was wanted to talk about which is the most popular track off of the album titled dopamina now when getting back into the album dynastia you know we have to start off with the most

popular track off of the album objectively speaking because as of right now via billboard Dopamina is the 78th most played track in the world but then of course when you look at mexico it is the number one most played track in the world so safe to say is a phenomenal accomplishment i believe putting out this type of successful album with your cousin has to feel phenomenal especially being able to bring family along with you for the ride as far as success because it's not like either these artists were struggling before they had a collab album as far as the Billboard year in top Latin artists in 20 in just last year in 2025 Tito Doppel was number four Paisal Pluma was number five so even though the family even though

their own respective careers they are putting up some monumental numbers so as far as this collab album their first ever basically dopamine is the outright most successful track from the album now close second is Daino which is the 88th most played track overall, but it's the second most played track in Mexico. So now when you look at it specifically, you wonder what Dopamina is about. And of course, based off of the title, which I believe it's just dopamine, I think a lot of Spanish words are just playing off in English words and vice versa. I'm not saying like, you know what I'm saying?

I don't want to get in trouble. I mean, I'm just trying to let y'all know that if you look at dopamine, it's usually closer to like a dopamine type word in English. So anyways, I believe it's dopamine. So with that being said, the lyrics is, of course, talking. talking about luxury lifestyle women and the main thing with the delivery I noticed was the contrast between Paiso Pluma and Tito Dopp. I love how these two artists even though they grew up with each other right these are cousins second cousins that grew up together since

Paiso was 18 and Tito Dopp was 20 so they grew up together and still stylistically they're vastly different and it's phenomenal over the same beat as dopamine is definitely one of my personal standouts and of course we're listening to the album you can definitely tell how these two artists individually blew up but together i love the dynamic they're having especially over this entire body of work as when you look at the overall themes it's basically about unity over division family before ego corridors as a cultural heritage not criminal propaganda because you know when it comes to mexico like i talked about earlier as far as my overall coverage of the album.

Basically, Mexico Titan Narco Corridos bands in 20203 and 2025 and states like Chihuahua, Baja, California, Neurit, McCokin, and Aguosceliantis. Basically, all of that is to say that Mexico is not going for any of the glorification of drug and violence because of the rise of cartel influence and youth exposure. Let them tell it, right? Now, I made a joke talking about how US needs to pick up those type of same sentiments, but I, you know, I kind of want to, well, not kind of, I definitely want to walk that back as you never want to advocate for freedom of expression being taken away. I just believe if you actually do criminal actions, then you should face the consequences, but you should have the freedom of expression, especially musically. So anyways, another thing I pointed out was basically the overall cover of the album.

If you don't know, it's basically showcasing Jacob in East. saw from the book of Genesis chapters 25 to 33 and these are twin sons of Isaac and Rebecca I've already went over that whole story but the main thing you need to know it's just that it's twin sons and of course even though Paisal Plumo wasn't trying to kill Tito double Pue or vice versa they're playing off of how they're bonded by blood as far as them being family so overall I do like how the album is taking an interesting subject matter because of them having to rework it due to Mexico tightening down on what artists could have in their music and when it comes to me not knowing the lyrics for me sonically I could tell plato pluma has such a complimentary style

to Tito double P just because of the vastly different ways that they deliver verses so with that being said that's the main thing I wanted to get into and of course we already got to dopamine which we just did as far as the most successful track off of the album now I would like to get into the second most popular track off of the album, which is Dano. Finishing off our coverage of Dynastia, which is the first collab album between Peso Pluma and Tito-Double P, which is currently 15 tracks and 44 minutes in length. But essentially speaking, after getting into the overview, after getting into the most popular track from the album, which was Dopamina, now I want to get into the second most popular

track from the album that's titled, Dano, that when you look at it as far as the subject matter, because of course, if I don't know what they're saying, I'm going to look it up. So it focuses on toxic love and emotional pain with a lot of the overall reflections being about a woman and the emotional pain from toxic love. Basically, that's what it's about. And the main thing I was wanting to get at is when you look at dopamine, When you look at Dano being the most successful from a global standpoint. But then you look at them having 14 tracks charting in the top 50 of Mexico.

When you know it's funny, they have 15 tracks. I wonder what track was left off. Because it seems like every single track was on here except for one. And they probably look at that one track that wasn't on the charts. Like, dang, they must have hated that track. I actually don't know which one it is. I see every single one on here. Maybe it's too con.

No, I see Too Khan right there. I don't know. I have to look at it later. But literally it says 14 and there's 15 tracks on this album. So I wonder which one from the album was left off. Anyways, I guess I didn't go over the actual charting of the album. So in Mexico specifically. So overall, Danone and Dopamine as the most successful tracks from the album.

Currently, as a global accomplishment, Dynastia is currently the 10th most play album in the world. When you look at Mexico specifically, you have Dopamina. That's the first most played track in the world. Dano, that's the second. Backpack Boys, which is the fourth most played track in Mexico. Neipido, which is the fifth. 7-3, which is the sixth most played track in Mexico. Puti Legante.

Hopefully, if these cuss words and Spanish, guess what? I was ignorant. I didn't know what they were saying. So, anyways, that, Puti Legante. That's his 12th most played track of Mexico. The intro is interestingly enough, the 14th most played track in Mexico.

Belete or Belit is the 22nd. Malibu is the 27th. Two Khan L is the 32nd. Truca, a Truja, I think it's Truca, is the 33rd. Mescal is the 44th. And 20s is the 48th. and Maris 2 or Maras 2 or Mara 2

as a 49th. So shout out to Tito and Double P not only being family and bonded by the blood, but they also are bonded in the success in the music industry with the whopping 14 tracks charting in Mexico. So as far as my coverage of Tito Double Pia and Paiso Pluma, not only am I wanted to highlight the family ties because of course I've been covering Tito T2P since August 30th, 2024. I've covered Paisal Pluma since June 2nd, 2023.

So I've been very incaptivated by these artists, especially diving deep into their marketing strategies and how they're out here notoriously affecting the masses with their music. But as a family member, having an individual successful career and then coming together for this album is one of the greatest things you can see, especially when you could have easily switched up on the other person or vice versa. and I love to see how the longevity, not only with the relationship, as if you don't know, Paiso Plumont was 18 and Tito-Double P was 20 when they first met. Once again, they were second cousins.

And so now, in the year of 2026, they're still going strong and notoriously affected the masses. And this is probably one of the more powerful examples of how Corrito-Sumbados can affect the masses. And then, of course, them countering the overall limitations of the Mexico government, basically coming out and tightening on narco corridors, which basically means that they don't want certain public performances glorifying drug violence because of rising cartel influence and youth exposure, which is a big deal.

That's why I keep repeating it throughout Matito, double P and Paso Pluma coverage. imagine you as an artist wherever you're from and your government say you can't do a specific subject matter and now you've got to change the whole album as they basically reworked all type of subject matters in the album even the production at some point was restructured multiple songs were rewritten and of course artists outside of tito double p and peso paco paco in the latin community they basically pivoted away from explicit crime glorification and drug-centric narratives so mostly people talk about street life without criminal praise they talk about loss boasting heartbreak romance and emotional vulnerability because of because of course the government said no more that gang and and drug talk so um i didn't want to end off with the awards that both of these gentlemen have uh racked up before they made the album together as pace with pluma won best music music album for genesis back in 2024 he has six wins at the twenty twenty three billboard latin music awards for a new artist hot latin songs artists and then of course

the b m i champion award in 2025 and multiple latin grammy nominations and he won best mt v ms best latin in 2024 and then when he comes to tito double p he was the b m impact award for 2025 and of course he was nominated and a lot of different award shows more specifically 2025 billboard latin music awards he had 10 categories um and he was also the am a m a m a slash i heart nominee for favorite male slash best new artists back or just last year in 2025 so this collab album couldn't have came at such more of a perfect time and i'm glad to see tito and double p showcasing what a notorious mass effect is when it comes to to rito uh caridos tumbados so with that being said click my link to my bio let me know one of my social medias have you listened to

paco and tato double p's album titled dynastia and at the end of day do you believe that Tito double P and Paisal Pluma started off 2026 even though this I mean did this technically come out Yeah technically came out 2025 at the very end December 25th but do you believe continuing into 26 pito uh no peso pluma and tito double pt started off 2026 in the best way possible or caritos tombados now safe to say the meaning of cloutout has changed 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?

And you're probably thinking to yourself. Why in the world would you say that? Well, ladies and gentlemen, the main reason I say that is because not only did Abraham, aka 21 Savage, just put out a phenomenal flop as far as expecting to sell 53,000 first week when compared to his last album, just last year, 2024, selling 133. thousand first week units you guys see that's the problem and then of course safe to say that in this specific segment who shiasty yes pooh shiasty ladies and gentlemen the guy that was involved in the miami shooting and robbery robbery mind you right and he was sentenced to five years and three months

but time served he did three years total in specific 1500 days behind bars. But then, you know what I'm saying? It's safe to say, we've seen a lot of rappers come out after prison and put out first day out freestyle or just put out music after they got out of prison, whether it was Jeffrey, aka Young Thug, whether it was Bobby Shmurda, whether it was T. Grizzly. There was a lot of different artists in the past that put out music after they came out

of prison, but I don't know if anybody's came out scorching hot like Poo Shisey has. because looking at it in totality and looking at future chart predictions, of course, because that's what we do over here at notorious mass effect. Safe to say that Pus Chisie's first day out is having a phenomenal effect on the masses. As when you look at it,

chart dated for December 27th. So he's dealing with all type of Christmas anthems in the month of December, and still, and still, Pushiasty is set to have the 32nd most play track in the world. with first day out and you probably think it to yourself how is they even possible well i'm here to tell you ladies and gentlemen i also have no clue as you look at it he has everybody

and a mama wearing shyshees in the month of december when we're supposed to be celebrating the christmas uh spirit and everybody walking out here with the shiasty i even saw a grandma on my timeline y'all may have seen it too there's a whole grandma rapping along to pooh shysie's first day out if you don't know pooh shyssey has been bringing us the all ultimate ignorance as back in blood back in 2020 was one of the biggest songs in the world in the hip-hop space and safe to say in the year of 2025 like i already reported on time and time again when you look at rap and totality of things compared to other genres it's on a downward spiral a spiral right which is why we're going to get to a billboard in a second as far as them talking

about how they're going to make it so less streams equivalent to one of unit sold because I'm not saying they want people to sell better but it definitely looks like a watered down product if you're looking at it from last year and wondering why everybody is not listening to music as much as they were in the past but you know not to tune my own horn or other people like Kaisant or just bigger content creators but I think we do have a in effect on the amount of music and TV consumption because of course when you look at the long form content which is podcasting or which is streaming safe to say that's going to take away from something and i believe we're seeing it in the in the effect of

music not being as consumed in a year of 2025 but that didn't stop rap from having more of a downward spiral as i reported october 31st 2025 how there was there were no rap songs in the billboard top 40 for the first time in 35 years 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 in the year of 2025 everybody in the Mama was skeptical of who shite is he having a successful first day out type of track because guess what? Jeffrey came out in, I don't know if I'm just playing devil's advocate. I don't know if I'm biased for Young Thug, you know what I'm saying?

I don't know if I'm biased for Young Thug. That's supposed to be my snitching drop. I don't know why I keeps playing Young Thug. Anyways, Young Thug had a track called Money on Money with Future Hendricks, right? I thought it was phenomenal. Did it do any type of damage on the charts? Of course not. So that was very surprising for me

And that just told me that rap is just not in the state Where it's going to be consumed by the masses But then lo and behold Pushaisei came out with one of the hottest tracks ever Straight out of prison So when you hear a text like this With shout out to ICE from the Joe Budden podcast Butt-button podcast

But I do have to I have to quote you my brother Because this is how a lot of people is feeling And then we're going to get back into my take What's his name? Push-ishi-ishy. No, that's not what you call him The 762 God

That's his song Oh my God I know. Fuck it freeze. I don't know. I'd be catching all type of strays up there. See, you need a, I ain't going to lie to you. You need a fellow nerd like myself who can also speak on hip hop to be alongside you.

Because they'd be going at ice crazy. And I'm probably not helping with this sound bite, but let's keep going. I understand what y'all, like, fam. You think he's going to deliver, like? Musically. They're talking about Poo Shise's first day out track. Yeah. I think he's going to get right back to it.

Yeah. Yeah. But I think music has changed to where it's not going to hit no more. him him being down dirt being locked up and little baby being scared to rap about street shit which I completely understand

not scared but now fighting Willis got them very perplexed let's just feel like that choosing to not rap the way he was rapping before though and then it's like

the music industry has kind of passed them on now so if you look at the trend of hip hop going downward as far as in the year of 2025 safe to say if you was going to bet on push ice these first day out

not being a successful hit and you may have been in the realm of logic, right? And then you look at the charts and see that not only as first day out, a phenomenal hit out the gate after doing five years, well,

three years in prison. But safe to say, it's also competing with the likes of all type of Christmas tracks like, it's literally titled, Like is Christmas by the Jonas Brothers, Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley,

wonderful Christmas by Paul McCartney. Like, it's up there with some of the top Christmas anthems. And of course, to put in, in perspective is right behind mutt from Leon Thomas which is always one of the most successful R&B tracks in the past two years so mutt throughout this entire year was in the top 20 i believe easily so just to put in perspective how successful the first day out track is for pooh shiasty

once again as far as future chart predictions by chart data mind you it's not just i made it up chart dated for december 27 so it could change it could be higher or lower but these are pretty on the nose every single year which is why people use these chart predictions first day out is set to be the 30 second most played track in the world so the reason why i'm putting that putting that in the perspective of ice's clip from the joe button podcast is because of you look at it as hip-hop is not doing as well and now you see push isi which is very much an anomaly in the year of 2025 having a successful track which is first day out which is why i do give ice some grace but also So when it comes to clout, safe to say, no telling what Poochise can do as far as a, as far as capitalizing off of this monumental hip hop track.

Because I would go on the, I would go out on the limb and say that as of right now, it's probably the most popular hip hop track. I'm looking at the charts right now. Yeah, it's the most popular hip hop track. I'm trying to see if there's any other track I can compare it to it for future chart predictions. Oh yeah, to put it in perspective, Mr. Recoup, by 21 Savage. and Drake, which that's the most successful track off of a 21 Savage album, and you all right know why, come on now. Is it okay?

I got my dope on me? You know what I mean? The goat brought his dope to the 21 Savage album. So obviously, Mr. Recoup is the most successful off of that project, and that is only the 51st was slated to be the 51st most played track in the world. So I'm putting it in perspective. You have 21 Savage and Drake having the 51st most played track in the world out the gate, right? Because Abraham's album didn't come out that long.

ago and now you have first day out by push she see being the 32nd most played track in the world so i'm just showcasing how push is currently the hottest rapper in the game and that is very much a surprise to the whole field not just me because i look at numbers i look at the trends and safe to say i would have been in the same realm of ice saying that they're not trying to promote push isi's type of music but now here we are so i think it's an NBA young boy maybe i'm going out maybe it's formal maybe i'm going out on recency bias but i think pooh shi's he is having an mba young boy type of moment with this particular song because don't forget a month or two ago i think it was last month NBA young boy had the highest charting hip-hop track currently with uh shot calling i believe so

that type of music is not going anywhere i think pooh shiasty is the next up as far as having a track like that notoriously affect the masses and i'll be very interested to see where he goes from here All I know is the label that he's under, which if you don't know, is 1017, which is owned by the legendary Gucci Main, which I say time and time again, the people behind the scenes are the people you need to be watching in this music industry. The Gucci Man's of the world, the P from QCs of the world, the, who else, the Bird Man's of the world, these type of people are really the masterminds behind these artists popping up. Now, of course, Gucci Main, I'm not saying he wrote the track or anything like that. but to sign him to have the foresight to sign him back in um i forgot when he signed up who shysi but anyways if you look at the label as far as 1017 originally launched as 1017 brick squad records um this was all the way back in 20 was it back in 2000 yeah back in 2007 i believe so

a label made in 2007 is having one of one of its biggest acts now currently in 2020 with pooch-sheisty because of his track first day out and the only thing that i want to say you know to end this off is the the the line your daddy a killer but you ain't just like briny james why'd you have to go there come on man you guys see that's the problem you have a phenomenal track going up on the charts and just because of that line you already know that lebron is going to have his uh vans pull up you know as far as the what's it i forget his label what they call it uninterrupted whatever LeBron's going to have the uninterrupted vans pull up and let's just say they're going to try to interrupt you. So that line was definitely out of left field.

I'm pretty sure LeBron's not very ecstatic about that bar. But seeing that it's the hottest hip-hop track in the world currently, I think he may still make a video not knowing any of the words to it. So it's tough to say we have to see what happens with that. But shout out to push shiasty. This came out of left field, very surprising. I want to see if it could gain, if it could keep the same type of traction. Because with who Shicy is currently doing is such a outlier that I would like to see if it holds any weight a month from now.

I'm not hating. I just want to see, because as far as the trend, I want to see if he can keep this stature in the game. Who knows? He could be replacing a certain energy that was left alone or basically taken out of it. of the game because of little dirt being locked up maybe pooh shi is filling that gap for uh the hip hop's space but we'll see so with that be it said click my link tree in my bio let me know on one of my social

medias what do you think about pooh shi's first day out and more importantly what do you think about the surprising effect of the masses that pooh shi se is having with first day out slated to be the 30 second most play track in the world and currently the hottest hip hop track in the world now ladies and gentlemen i just want to bring this to your attention you know i cover the entire and gaming industry. So lo and behold, of course I was looking at future chart predictions for specific songs in the month of December and I saw a particular name and I said to myself I thought he was shooting the movie whole time this man as far as the specific track for Rawls and the remix the original

version so not to get confused with the remix the original version so shout out to ease the how you say his name ease the kid i don't know how to say his name i ain't gonna kept to you i feel like i'm 25 going on 80 at this point because how in the world is that a rap name but ease the kid his track for ross is slated to be as far as future charred predictions for december 27th is slated to be the 87th most play track in the world and you know in the sport of hip-hop safe to say we've definitely been struggling in the year of 2025 especially when i first covered um let me see if i can find it when i first covered it october 31st 2025 how there were no rap songs in the billboard top 40 for the first time of 35 years safe to say a lot of people was

thinking that hip hop was on a downward spiral only to realize that music in totality is on a downward spiral i mean there's a reason why billboard came out and it was basically making it easier as far as the streams being considered because if you look at the streams for Billboard they took down the previously 3,750 as supported streams and now it's just 2,500 ad supported streams for a thousand pay slash subscription on-demand official audio and video stream generated by songs from an album now I know that's a lot so essentially speaking they took it from 37 well 3,750 to 2005 for it to equivalent to one unit, right?

So that makes it easier for a lot of people to have a little bit of leeway to not flop as much. And that's across the music board entirely. So now when you look at Easy, ease the kid having a successful track and looking at who in the world he chose for the feature on his remix for four raws,

it's very peculiar because now you look at it and you say to yourself, what in the world? But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state hip-hop like what's going on so you're telling me there's two white kids out here saving hip-hop now obviously that's not the case but you know for all jokes uh you know all jokes are set to the side i do believe when you look at timothy shallame and his involvement in hip-hop especially his uh super bowl ad with size seven i mean uh kendrick lamar and how that was in the midst of one of the biggest

if not the biggest rap battles we've ever witnessed on my measly 25 years on earth right when you look at that in particular and come to realize that timothy shallamee is really more ingrained in hip-hop culture than people would like to believe thinking that he's i mean obviously he is an outsider but of course as far as the collaboration with kensi Lamar in the super bowl i believe i just saw he did something with druski where they was like seeing in some type of gospel song or something like that and then of course now ladies and gentlemen he has teamed though with ease the kid for this particular remix for four dogs and safe to say this This wasn't out of the blue.

Ladies and gentlemen, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because apparently he was as not too long ago if he was actually Eased the kid himself. So a lot of people was thinking he was Ease the kid because of course when you look at Ease the kid, a lot of people don't know his identity, which is kind of crazy. You know, I've covered a lot of different artists and some artists have the mysterious factor going in and their music is booming, right? It's very hard to do because, you know, your boy gets you know a couple of checks from Spotify. None too crazy.

You know what I'm saying? And usually, you have to put you a full government, you have to send your ID, you know, to make sure you're a real person that they're sending the money towards as far as the bank account.

So I don't know if he's using some type of random bank account. I don't know if somebody over at Spotify doesn't want to snitch. But how in the world does nobody know ease the kid's identity? Now that out of the way,

you're not trying to snitch. What do they do? I said, I'm not trying to snitch. Oh, need it. That's my snitching drop. I don't know why I keep playing young thug. That's crazy. So anyways, when you look at Timothy Shalame

And people thinking he was easy to kid This is what he had to say I've got two Your fans have lost their minds And they are saying that you are Is that true? I got no comment on that Oh, come on

He has no comment Hold on now No, I mean Got no comment You've got the same eyes I've got two words on that Hey, she's choosing it All right, my fault

Anyways, let's get back to it Go on Hold on he said he got two words Ladies and gentlemen Count closely In your own time. Two words. Two words.

What's wrong with him? We've lost him. Someone, we need to rebut. All will be revealed in due time. Oh, hold up now. What? What in the actual? But then, you know what I'm saying?

I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? Look at Timothy Shalamee out here perpetuating the stereotype that hip hop artists can't re-write or, you know. Shepherd. My father, I ain't going to go deeper into that. But, you know, as far as Timothy Shalame, obviously, he basically said, all will be revealed in due time. Now, he said two words, but we're not going to hang on to that. right so as far as due time this is essentially what he was talking about there's a particular track out

now on youtube which you know impressively has already passed one million views as far as in the span of 24 hours and of course he is the feature on ease the kids track for ross remix which you know i'm a huge superhero fan so you already know i'm going with this when clark kent when peter parker got exposed as far as being their counterpart superhero safe to say they sometimes there was a to get somebody else to be in a suit while they showed up as a civilian and that's all i'm saying i'm not saying as a clone i'm not saying he had somebody feeling to be eased the kid but i'm just you know added to this uh conspiracy you know i know that ain't who i think it is so when you look at this it's a lot to get into because timothy shallame is currently in the midst of having a successful

um selling a movie as far as it well it's not out yet but i'm talking about the pre-sells Because if you look at it, Marty Supreme has had the fastest selling pre-sales ever for an A-24 movie. That is why when I looked at the charts and I saw Ease the kid with the track for Rawls and I saw who it was attached to, I said to myself, isn't he shooting the movie? How much time does this man have on his hands? You know what I'm saying? 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, coincidentally, he has a whole Four Rawls remix. It's, you know, around the same time that Marty Supreme is supposed to come. come out I think it's supposed to come out on the 25th I believe yeah it's set to come out worldwide December 25th and of course the pre-sales of the fastest ever for 824 so we can already assume it's going to be a great phenomenal movie just from objective revenue standpoint so now because if you don't know you know I'm no movie or TV show connoisseur but of course when you look at pre-sales usually that's a great indication of how the movie's going to do so getting back into timothy shallomay and him just having all the acting accrued

ladies, whether him having two Oscar noms for Call Me By Your Name, a complete unknown, or him having the SAG after Best Actor win in 2025, global, well, Golden Globe nominations in 2025. And of course, Marty Supreme, you already know the way that it's selling out now. There's only time for the subjective critics to come in and give it highly in high praise. Because, you know, as far as Timothy Shalame, seems like he is the golden child of the acting ecosystem. Now, that's set to the side.

Ease the kid. I did want to get into him for a second. Pause. You guys. As when you look at Ease the Kid, he's from UK. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Abraham is not the only UK rapper making a notorious Mass Effect. As we have the UK rapper, Ease the kid,

and his particular standout has just came recently in 2024 and 2025 with his debut album, Rebel. So if you look at his discography, It's very interesting. As he hasn't been putting out music for a while. Well, he hasn't been putting out music for a long time.

But if you look at DSPs and go all the way down, 7th of January, 1938, there's a particular track with Ease the kid on it. Now, how in the actual, is that possible? I know that ain't who I think it is. I don't know if it's some type of, because, you know, when you first upload, you can put whatever release date, I guess.

So when you look at 1938, you just know somebody is trolling because who in the world is fake mink to put this track out set in 1938 featuring Ease the Kid. I know that ain't who I think it is. And that's just a little journalistic research for me, right? So some other things I was looking at was, of course, his output as far as Ease the Kid,

because you look at Century, which is his latest single on DSPs that came out October 31st, and then of course you look at this album Rebel that at the start of it has four rawls on it, which is, objectively speaking, his most successful track. But then you come to realize, this man, Ease the Kid, has all type of tracks going up. I mean, it's 13.4 million monthly listeners, and that's just on Spotify.

And, of course, his track, Phantom is at the top of that list. And, of course, Fort Rawls is quickly rising up on those charts. So I don't know if the remix is going to hit DSPs. But as of right now, YouTube's going crazy. And you know YouTube and Billboard kind of beefing right now. So I know Billboard hates that the remix was pretty mirrored on YouTube. So when you look at the ramifications of this track having such a monumental impact, safe to say I had the pocket watch because of course I wonder who was back in this because he claims to be independent and I'm not going to say he's not but he is under xV records which is an independent French slash UK label that's also called 15 records that was founded in 2024 that co-distributes releases like ease the kids debut album rebel and of course associated with his hits like phantom and of course you have lizzie records that's a prominent UK independent label and with that specific with that label and specific they

have rap talents like e's the kid lancy fox fameggero i think that's how you say it uh lind and center it has a six for for the e i'm not going to lie to you black did it with the b or no no with the six being in front of the b y'all got to stop taking that out the english language for granted because who in the world is going to pronounce it correctly if they're not connoisse who is the music y'all just let me know so yeah center has a six for the e it's crazy um they also have meeks and I think that's it. So they're basically a key independent label for a UK underground scene.

And I believe that Drake came out. And I know what y'all saying, you're a huge Drake fan. So obviously, you know what Drake said. And, you know, you completely right. Is it okay? I got my dope on me? You know what I'm saying?

I said, what the fuck? As you look at Drake giving the ice emoji, I believe it was right here. Yeah, here it goes. So the actual music video, you have Drake, ladies and gentlemen, giving his monumental input because, of course, he is the goat.

You look at the mascot, you know, the figurehead, the epitome of what success looks like in hip hop. Shepard. All right. So basically, Drake commented, and he put three ice emojis, right? Ice cube emoji basically saying he co-signs this. I guess he likes it. And, you know, Drake's been, you know, he's been messing with a lot of different UK rappers, such as Central C. So who knows?

I mean, Ease the kid definitely has a lot of organic recent traction. You could see Ease the kid in a Drake feature in the foreseeable future. but that's just me speculating. So, again, back into Timothy Shalame, basically taking this very random opportunity in the most, most pristine time as far as his rollout for Marty McFly, already selling out pre-sales,

already having a successful career in his own right as far as acting. And now he's jumping over into the rap lane because you look at him in the music field, yes, ladies and gentlemen, we got receipts on all these people, you know what I'm saying? You guys.

So anyways, Timothy Shalamee, he also already has a music profile that has 2.1 million monthly listeners and you probably think it to yourself is he a musician no ladies and gentlemen it's just basically from movies and there's no slight i'm just letting you know so the movie wonka which had the original motion picture soundtrack uh that came out december 8th 2023 that had timothy shallomay on on certain tracks like hateful like a hateful dreams and then you had the complete unknown which i talked about earlier in this segment that came out December 6th, 2024, and then of course you had a complete unknown again, the original motion picture soundtrack that came out December 20th of 2024. So Timothy Chalameh has definitely been in a

music field. He's popped up in certain hip-hop ecosystems, whether it's Drewski, whether it's side seven, I mean, a white tank top. So now you come to realize that his love for, I'm not going to say black culture, but he's definitely showed up at certain interesting times to to showcase that he definitely has some type of enjoyment out of doing this is i don't think it's forced his verse sounds solid i just know jack quees webster aka Travis scott which is sitting back hearing him shout out kiley saying that timothy basically was rapping and saying that he was trying to stack up a hundred mill and saying that his girl already got a bill and i was just thinking to myself there's no way that jack quix wester was out here shouting out Kylie jenner which is his

baby mom, by the way, on stargazing, sickle-moe, skeletons, just for Timothy Shalameh to arguably have the best bar about Kylie Jenner. I just know Jack Quees was sitting back saying to himself, y'all didn't hear Drake on with his first song tell. Oh, my fault. I just know, I got to run that back. I just know Jack Quees-Webster was sitting back saying to himself.

Drake on with his first song, tell me what's really going on. Drizzy Drake back in his thing already. That's soldier! That's my bar! He copy my whole fucking flow. Oh, man. He copy my whole fucking flow. Oh.

Word for word, bar for bar. Not word for word, bar for bar. That's crazy. Took his flow. Took his. Shepherd. All right, my fault. So anyways, basically, y'all get the point.

Timothy Shalema is out here doing whatever he pleases, and he's highly successful at it, which y'all may call glazing, but I'm literally looking at the objective analytics for, of course, Marty Supreme having the fastest selling pre-sales ever for an A-24 movie. And, of course, already talking about his previous accolays, as far as um his plethora of awards i've already dove into so you know i don't want to beat a dead horse the main thing is i definitely want to give this enough time to expound upon why ease the kid is having

a very interesting rise and he could be one of the rising stars in the rap game because of course it's one thing to have viral clip on social media as far as this particular clip with timothy chalemate talking about if he was actually eased the kid it's another thing for ease the kid to have his own successful career aside from Timothy Shalome. And as far as future chart predictions, slated for December 7th, 27th. He's slated to have the 87th most played track in the world with the original Four Raw's track. So I think Timothy Shalame definitely has something to do with it.

But at the end of the day, ease the kid. It's definitely a name to look out for. And keep in mind as far as maybe one of the hottest rappers in 2026, as far as the rise that we're currently seeing right now. So that being said, click my link, my bio let me know in one of my social medias what do you think about ease the kid and timothy shalome doing the spider-man meme and coming together for the four ross remix and do you think that ease the kid is one of the rappers to look out for as far as their rise in the year of 2026

you know at the beginning of notorious mass effect the main premise was basically covering things in the gaming and music ecosystem that notoriously affect the masses but then you come to realize It's so many deals behind the scenes that affects the gaming and music industry that at some point, if it's so monumental as far as the grounds that it just broke, we have to cover it because it bleeds over into either music or gaming. Now, particularly what I'm talking about is Netflix dropping not one, not 10, not even 40 or 50, but 82.7 billion dollars. Yes, with the B, ladies and gentlemen. And you may be thinking to yourself, how in the world does Netflix have that type of money? Well, I'm glad you asked.

After going down a deep, and I mean a deep pulse. You guys. Rabbit hole as far as how much money Netflix has. Safe to say they're one of the most profitable companies in the world, to the point where estimates have it in the top tens, competing with the likes of Johnson and Johnson, MasterCard, Oracle, visa okay you get the point right they're very profitable as far as planet earth and the most

profitable companies of all time i'm just trying to put it in perspective so when you look at netflix specifically a lot of people saying they're competing with disney as of right now but after doing more journalistic due diligence as far as looking at the specific landscape of disney and netflix when it comes to market capitalization Netflix is actually leading disney but then you look at Disney they're actually leading an annual revenue and cash in equivalent so the reason why I say that is because Netflix acquiring Warner Bros is definitely a competitive advantage to Disney I do remember covering I think I think uh I covered it let me see when Disney acquired Fox that so basically um Disney entertainment oh no that's went back when Disney uh back on july 24th 2024

Disney Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery announced Disney Plus Hulu and Max Bundle. That basically just laid it out. Like Disney was like, hey, bro, we ain't got the money you asking to buy you out. Let's just combine to try to take out Netflix. Netflix saw it and say, Woot, they do. Netflix saw Disney, Hulu, Warner coming together to try to bundle and put some type of cable-like package together. And they said, at the end of the day, Netflix is the Thanos of this movie and TV show industry. they're basically saying all that work and where did they lead you right back to me so ultimately netflix just bought out warner bros completely hey like i said earlier um people are saying 72 billion

as far as my report it says 82.7 billion dollars and it has a lot entailed as far as why is 82.7 billion because you would think it's all the money that netflix is putting up but that's just a deal in totality because of course Warner has certain debt that Netflix is taken in so when you look at I'm trying to see what is that yeah when you look at the actual deal it's about 72 million but the total enterprise value nearest 82.7 billion once Warner Bros. Discovery's net debt is included so when it comes to that specifically when you look at Netflix and it's 300 million plus subscribers just leaping just leaps and bounds ahead of any other subscription model whether it's Disney whether it's HBO and obviously HBO because they just bought it right

300 million plus subscribers I think the closest was HBO Max's with 130 million subscribers but when no it wasn't the closest but I think no HBO Max's subscription count is 130 million with Netflix's subscription count at 300 million plus these are estimate numbers right so an estimate of around 430 million if they when they combine seemingly is a monopoly to a lot of people which is why a lot of insiders are coming out and saying nobody wants this deal to go through because of course this will put netflix in control in the control seat of not only all the major franchises of warner bros but i think y'all forget when it comes to batman anything associated to batman makes all type of revenue so not that Netflix has control of Batman, I would go out on a limb, and my nerve bag is going to come out with this one, but I would go out on the limb and say all of the absolute storylines, even though it's not completed, I would already, I could promise you that Netflix is working on some type of animation studio to specifically make films for the absolute Batman storylines,

right? And they haven't even completed yet in the comic books. Now, I know what you're saying. Hold on now. That sounds like a horrible idea. Well, Netflix is not looking at keeping the integrity. They're trying to make the most money possible. And Batman, absolute Batman, literally, was one of the best-selling books of all time. Not comic books, but books of all time. So now when you look at the other famous IPs, and we just talked about Batman, right?

When you look at the other IPs as far as Harry Potter, as far as Game of Thrones, the Sopranos, classic films like Kittison Kane, Casa Blanco. There's a reason why this deal ballooned into $72 billion as far as the acquisition. So now you look at the library power. When you look at if they were merged, that's the main focal point for a lot of insiders because nobody wants this deal to go through. Everybody is saying that this is a monopoly. If this happens, then they will have way too much power.

and ultimately this has to be stopped because of this being an anti-monopoly nightmare, which is what Senator Elizabeth Warren said. And then, of course, the Trump administration came out and gave heavy skepticism, even though this is not a political podcast. But of course, when you get to deals like this, everybody's hand is in the pipe. Because when you look at this amount of money being thrown around, you have to start looking at it more specifically to make sure it goes through all the checks and balances. He's like, hold on now. You want to, you want to spend how much? Like,

are you okay? Like, this is the version of, uh, Nico selling off Luca. Warner Bros. about to give Netflix way more than, you know, Luca as far as the, uh, pop culture side of things. And then of course, the government, the, the people who are anti, uh, monopoly, they're looking at this and they're saying to yourself, hold on now, Warner Bros. Are you okay? You sure you want to go through with this? Because everybody is saying that this is terrible and will extend Netflix's global dominance and violate a lot of competition laws. So when it comes to that, specifically the Hollywood unions, the SAG-A-A-A-After, which we've talked about them before, I remember covering them extensively.

It seemed like nobody cut was covering it but me. But anyways, December 11, 2024, SAG-A-After went on a video game strike. Why? Because, you know, everybody in their mama is trying to use AI to cut costs as far as production, right? So SAG-A-A-A-Fra, the video game strike, that continued. And basically, I really don't know if it's been resolved yet, but I've been covering that, how long I've been covering SAG aftra since August 30th, 2023? It's been going on for quite some time. The actors went on strike.

The writers guild went on strike, which is not the same thing, by the way. And then the video game voice actors went on strike. So they've been going on strike, on strike. You get the point. So now when you look at SAG AFR coming out again, they're like, hold on now. they basically said that the merger raises serious concerns about the creative workforce in the industry's future so Netflix was hearing all this and basically said what they do you know what I mean everybody and their mama complaining that they got all the bread in the world and used some of it to

acquire the entire studio of Warner Bros and they basically said what they do but more specifically you know actually the CEO Ted Sarandos came out and insisted the deal is pro-consum consumer, pro innovator, oh no, pro innovation, pro worker, pro creator, and pro growth. Shepard, just look at the state of gaming. Like, what is going on? So when Netflix comes out and rebutted these claims saying, like, we're not out here having anti-competitive practices, wink, right? So people don't want this merger to go through. and when you look at this even deeper you look at Netflix having the Fort Monmouth acquisition as far as Netflix closing the deal to buy the 292 acre former Fort Monmouth U.S. Army Base in New Jersey.

They plan to invest $1 billion to create 12 sound stages, 500 square feet of production space, additional community amenities and the construction timeline is to start 2026 and complete by 28. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Monopoly at its highest level. You guys.

See, that's the problem. So now, when you look at the other things, as far as other people coming in the pot because Netflix is becoming such of a powerhouse that people have to pay attention to it in the entertainment space. If this deal fails,

Netflix still has to pay Warnerboro's $5.8 billion. And that's just if the plan fails to go through. Multiple sources are saying that Ted Serendos, hopefully I'm saying that right, the CEO of Netflix met privately with President Trump for two hours recently. And prior to the dinner,

prior dinner also happened in late 2024 at Mara Lago. And these are just insider reports. So, you know, take it with a grain of salt. Because the White House neither confirmed or denied, right? Trump has been silent on the deal and a lot of people have said it's been very unusual and it's not political podcast but you know when it comes to uh 80 billion dollar deal going through i mean you know the government has to get involved i mean it's just too much money being thrown around they can be hold them now like how much money you're about to you got to we got check some

things you need some checks and balances so let me see if he actually said something i think he said something about um it may just be um it may just be his administration oh four hours ago hey breaking news make sure this site is credible you know we don't do fake news over here let me see um oh okay it's discussing films yeah it's it's credible all right Donald Trump says he will be involved in the decision on whether Netflix should buy Warner Bros quote because they have to go through something as far as a checks and balances like I said you know this amount of money has to go through a lot of checks and balances to be

approved so the same thing when um when uh Xbox bought the Collard Duty Company. I forget the name. Why I'm my tripping on that? Well, I'm a blanket on the name. When Xbox, what was it? No, I'm not talking about the Saudi Arabia deal. When Xbox originally bought Calla Duty and they lost all type of money for it, right?

And they basically came out and they said they lost a good amount of money for for putting call of duty on a game pass and they thought it was going to be the opposite so i can't find it but microsoft all right let's see uh microsoft activision oh here we go finally goodness all right uh microsoft activision deal reportedly being approved by china you got to get approved from a lot of different places because if you're going to buy a corporation that's hugely impactful in the pop culture landscape there's like a lot of laws that you have to get by you can't just buy some outright, especially like Warner Bros. So, um, politics has to come into play. So that being said, um, getting back to my original point. Donald Trump said, quote,

Netflix have a very big market, uh, have a very, very big market share. And when they have WB, that share goes up by a lot. Well, goodness gracious. Captain obvious. I don't know. That's going to be. I don't know. That's going to be for some economists. remind you this is a quote so this is what he's saying to tell comma i'll be involved in that decision too okay so he's ultimately saying he'll be involved in the decision oh we have actual footage i don't know if i want i don't want to hear trump's voice angle cats yeah let's uh yeah so there's a quote this actual footage i guess i guess i'll play you know it you know we got to keep it uh we are just talking about a company being acquired so yeah let me just i guess i guess i

I guess I'll play it because it's just broke like four hours ago so not the long ago anyways allowed to buy Warner Brothers should no that's the question they have a very big market should they be allowed to buy Warner Brothers should now that's the question they have a very big market share and when they have Warner Brothers you know that chair goes up a lot so I don't know that's going to be for some economists to tell and also and I'll be involved in that decision too did they have a very big market share did he make any guarantees to you about the merger if they do merge now no no he came up he was in the oval office last week i have a lot of respect for him he's a great he's a great person but he's done one of the

greatest jobs in the history of movies and i can only i can only handle so much man only so much so anyways um when it comes to paramount they also are trying to buy her wb but wb basically said won't they do oh that was super loud my fault i was down 80 That was super loud of my phone. Anyways, I'm not editing that out either. So y'all got stuff like me. I heard that too. So anyways, when it comes to Paramount, right?

Basically, Netflix being acquired by Warner Bros. Didn't sit right with Paramount because they basically came out. It was like, y'all winning Netflix the whole time. Y'all didn't even want it. It's like on some ex-girlfriend type beat, right? So Paramount is doing, they're basically doing a hostile takeover. I don't know what's going to happen because of that. I think Warner Bros.

is essentially still going to go with Netflix, but Paramount is like, I think the hostile takeover, or the hostile bid is just basically saying forget your deal with Netflix, we're still going to offer you this amount, right? And Warner Bros is just going to essentially still say no. So Paramount is just basically looking like the ex-girl that just can't get over, you know, being broken up with or being told no. So Netflix, when it comes to them beating out people like Paramount, they reportedly made an offer above the 28 WBB.

the Warner Bros. Share price beating out all the rivals. So now if you look at the overall totality of what's going to happen, Netflix is going to be the largest entertainment streaming company in history, right? Netflix is going to have a lot of influence on how things go in the Warner Bros. franchise, which brings me back to the original reason. I'm even covering this. talking about the gaming and music IPs that notoriously affect the masses now that Warner Bros is acquired by Netflix we can't put to decide how Warner Bros has Arkham Rocksteady Batman Arkham they have Hogwarts Legacy which is the only game to beat out Call of Duty by the way as far as the best seller in a specific year now 2025 is going to be different it's going to be similar to when Hogwarts legacy came out 2020 23. 2025 is going to be different because Hogwarts Legacy

outsold Call of Duty. In 2025, I believe another game is going to outsell Call of Duty. I don't know what that would be, but Call of Duty is not selling as well as it usually does. So, anyways, Warner Bros. Has Nether Realm Studios, which is Motor Kombat, Rocksteady, which is Batman Arkham, Avalanche, which is Hogwarts Legacy,

TT Games, which is, wait, they have Lego? Nah, bro, I ain't know Warner Bros had Lego. like but Netflix says everything this is gonna be crazy so anyways I didn't know they had Lego that that stood out to me I don't know maybe my inner child coming out and then WB Montreal right

which you know they're all right Netflix hasn't from all the reports I've heard nobody is given any type of advanced insight onto what Netflix is going to do with the video game division so even me deep diving into it and seeing how Netflix planned

to maintain Warner Bros. current operations I'm thinking to myself, why in the world? You guys. Are you going to give me a straight answer or not? Like, my brother, you're being around the bush. What are you going to do with Batman Arkham? Are we going to get Batman Beyond Arkham?

Are we going to get a continuation of that storyline? Or are you just going to say, who do need to? Like, I just got a note. Like, please, you know, similar. And now we're going on a rant. Similar to when EA was bought out by Saudi Arabia, right? Y'all probably wondering to yourself.

you know you're probably looking at my outfit you're probably thinking to yourself analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio you probably look at my outfit you're probably saying to yourself hold on now there's a particular franchise that sadi just bought what is that what is that specific franchise i'm glad you asked EA was sold for for 55 billion dollars ladies and gentlemen to jari kushner and the saudi investors now if you don't know EA has one of my favorite franchises of all time. I don't know if you're able to tell. I don't think anything really gives it away.

I don't think the podcast title would I wear on a daily, like none that gives it away, right? Mass Effect is basically owned by Jared Kushner and the Saudi investors. What they choose to do with that as far as them owning biware, which is the developers and the publishers, no, not the publishers, publishers, EA, bioware, which is the developers. What they choose to do with that is going to be very interesting to see. is similar to my question on what is Netflix going to do with Batman they could can it no not they're never going to can Batman I mean they could do things that is in the interest of making more revenue which could lower the quality which is what a lot of people are hesitant

and are or um they're scared about because if you look at it from a revenue perspective you can say video game needs to be live service to bring in fortnight levels of revenue right and then you make games like gotham nights instead of just making a great single player game that everybody comes back to hence badman arkham night so that's where we don't know how in the world we're going to get Netflix's contribution to the warner bro the wb games that's essentially what i'm saying Netflix only cares about the dollar seemingly they just paid $83 billion. Hopefully they uplift the quality instead of trying to do everything for a dollar and inevitably lower the quality because you're already seen what Disney did the Star Wars.

Disney did the Marvel. The same thing could happen to Netflix to WB. Now that's worst case scenario. I'm not hoping that happens. But that's essentially what I wanted to get across because that is why a lot of people are so hesitant about this deal because you look at Netflix, you look at Warner Bros. and like I said as far as the subscription as the estimates right Netflix has 300 plus million subscribers HBO max has 130 million plus

subscribers together that's estimate to be a 430 million global subscribers now nobody's going to be able to compete with that Disney it's not going to be able to compete with that I really don't know like cable is it's going to be hard for cable I mean it's going to be hard for the movie theaters the movie theaters may actually go and like and like I think the movie theaters may actually go extinct like you look at your blockbuster that may actually happen to the movie theaters because of course Netflix could just take the movies like sinners what was the other movie WB had a crazy slate of movies this year I think F1 um there was another one was Wicked

under no WIC is for Disney I think WB has some other movies uh and then Netflix at k-pop well no k-pop demon hunters went to streaming. But anyways, movies like sinners, I doubt that those type of movies would go to the actual theaters and they'll probably just stay on Netflix and streaming account. So as you can tell, as you know, we went very long on this topic. I'm very passionate about the overall landscape of WB games because of course, Batman Arkham, I do believe is one of the greatest superhero video game franchises of all time. So what they're going to do with that, similar to how concerned I was with Saudi Arabia and EA as far as what they're going to do with body.

that has mass effect um on a greater scale on a grandiose scale a lot of people don't want this deal to go through so with that being said click my click my link through my bio let me know one of my social media is what do you think about warner bros being acquired by netflix for 72 billion dollars which is uh really like we said earlier if i can find the actual number again which is really 83 billion dollars because of course um warner bros uh uh uh uh net debt is included in the 82.7 billion dollars which net debt is crazy like the boys going in debt to rig bread isn't them I respected whatever um so anyways click my link sure in my bio let me know on one on one of my social medias what do you think is the base the best and worst case scenario of Netflix acquiring Warner Bros for 83 82.7 billion dollars yet another discussion about Billboard Shepherd

Nah because you know At the end of the day I'm not saying that we all go through certain things But as a corporation To first have YouTube leave And then of course When you look at it in totality A lot of musicians are flopping

Left and right 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 safe to say Billboard has the remedy for it as they came out with the interesting rule change ladies and gentlemen set to go in effect uh january 2026 more specifically january 17th 2026 but essentially speaking billboard

has a new rule change streaming will now have more weight on billboard 200 and hot 100 one album unit will now equal to 2,500 ads supported or 1,000 page slash subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. And the reason why I'm clapping that up is because previously there was 3,750 ad-supported streams and was equal to 1,250 paid streams. And of course this begins January 17. the main reason why this is a big deal is because I think Billboard is recognizing a lot of musicians are basically on a downward spiral as far as consumption. Now, I'm a little biased so y'all could

take this with a grain of salt, but I do believe when it comes to the content space, the long form content that you can consume for hours upon hours is eating into certain pies as far as TV as far as the theaters as far as music and I think music is maybe feeling that effect the most. Now of course, I might say, wait, hold on now, aren't you a podcaster? I know you bias and I ain't going to care to that. To that I may say, who do de-do? Because I could care less. At the end of day, you look at the numbers as far as the top streamers and content creators of the world and the amount of content of putting out hours. I don't think if you've never just sat back and think about what one particular person and how popular they are right and just think of the hours of content

they've put out and then think about music three minutes here two minutes there some people just put out a minute clip they say that's a whole track you know what I'm saying and they're competing with hours of hours of content being consumed entirely it's similar to how a popular musician will put 28 plus tracks on the album because execs will say one fan streaming 20 times versus you only having 10 tracks on your album

and that fan streaming only 10 tracks could take your sales down by 50%. Because you have 20 tracks. If one fan listened to 20 songs versus that same fan listening to 10 tracks, obviously you could tell while a lot of musicians put more tracks on the album

especially if they have a major. your machine backing them so the reason I'm saying that is because content creators on the other hand have hours and hours of content and I believe this new rule will not only help out musicians that are flopping horrendously I might add but also it definitely will start to even the playing field because of course you look at consumption and billboard does not want to be looked looked at as a watered down product you guys see that's the problem And Billboard has came out to talk about this specifically when talking about the chart change.

And when you look at it, they said the new system would mean that, of course, page streams still weighted higher, but less extremely. So this change would definitely help out for a lot of different musicians. YouTube just left Billboard. I already covered that in totality, but in layman's terms. YouTube left Billboard is the cut off, the breakup is set to happen January 16th. I know what you're thinking.

This new rule change is going into effect January 17th. And now a light bulb goes off. You're like, oh, they're only doing this because YouTube's leaving. And ladies and gentlemen, you are correct. I know that ain't who I think it is. So now we're YouTube leaving, then I'm breaking up because I looked up to pocket, you know,

I had a pocket watch a segment about YouTube and Billboard. It's safe to say, YouTube's worth like 3.7, 3.8 trillion dollars. Yes, with a T, no. It was a trillion. It was a trillion. I'm tripping. I think it was billion.

I said trillion. It was a billion. My fault. My fault. Yeah, why in the world? I just say trillion. I almost said the whole planet Earth network. Let me see.

I think I had it right here. So when you look at Billboard, YouTube, yeah, here we go. Okay, so Billboard has a, around 3.7 to, oh, okay, my fault. Put more respect to their name. It was a true. I thought it.

I thought I slipped up right quick. I was like, hold on. I don't know if it was a trillion. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, alphabet, which is YouTube's parent company, goodness gracious, they have $3.7, $3.8 trillion. So, yeah, you do have that information, which you will. With that being said, Billboard is probably very highly trying to get YouTube back in cahoots with them as a relationship.

So this type of change in streams as far as making it so that it's less streams for one unit, I think will help out a lot, especially after the breakup of YouTube that's set to go in effect January 16th, which is why I think these revised chart rules would take effect January 17th of this year. I don't think it's a coincidence by any stretch of the imagination. So when you look at a lot of musicians in the year of 2025, thinking it on a downward spiral, I mean, hopefully, y'all already heard me report about it as far as people who, you know, following notorious mass effect when I covered it October 31st of this year. I basically said no rap songs in the Billboard top 40 for the first time in 35 years.

Now, of course, quality does not equal quantity. But when it comes to the industry, investors are going to look at that and say, why invest more money for less return? Let's invest less for the same return that we're already getting. because if I give you $100 and you say, okay, I'm about to give you two cheeseburgers, right? Just random, you know, analogy. And then I start to be like, wow, these cheeseburgers are so good. I give you $200 and then you give me four cheeseburgers, right?

Like, wow, these cheese burgers are fantastic. It's phenomenal. And then I'm like, hold on now. I just gave you $300 and I only got two and a half cheeseburgers back. You start thinking to yourself, no, no, this ain't what I signed up for. You guys. See, that's the problem. So in lamest terms, this basically was happening with Billboard.

When you look at it, this is going to make the overall product look much better in 2026. They're going to come out with that stat that every corporation loves to do as far as an uptick and year over year profits. So year on year, I forget, it's like Y-O-Y, I believe, profits. So anyways, they always want to have a positive. They never want to have a negative because why invest in something if you're going to get less back? And I think that's essentially why Billboard is making this move. Now, I've already talked about YouTube and Billboard splitting up in this entirety. If you want to look that up for people watching after the fact,

just type in YouTube analytic dreams with the Z and it should pop up. But basically, yeah, YouTube is probably not going to lose any sleep over the breakup with Billboard. But Billboard definitely has to do a lot to counteract. YouTube leaving them and I think these rule changes set to go into effect January 17th. I think it's one of them. So with that been said, click my links from my bio. Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about this billboard rule change in them lowering the amount of streams

you need for one unit and ultimately what artists do you think this will help out the most?
