Starting point is 00:00:00 Now, if Metro Boomer wasn't beefing with the goat of the music industry, then I would give him kudos on his performance during Coachella. Technically, he did bring out the weekend. He did bring out future. He brought out somebody else. Was it 21 Savage? I think it was 21 Savage. Not to disrespect him about you.
Starting point is 00:00:20 You know, I just forgot. But I do want to get into the weekend. This is strictly a weekend segment. And I basically just talked about Metro to throw shots at him because I'm still irate that he took Drake off a trance. That I'm never letting that go ever in life. It just makes no sense. And when he addressed it in the interview, he said he made it even worse. He made it even worse by saying there was no room.
Starting point is 00:00:52 That's like a basketball game. You have four players. You can have three. Six, nine people, two 60, but guess what? You still, you're still taking LeBron because there's always room for the goat. Anyways, all right, I had to get that out there because, you know, Metro booming. That's still, that still upsets me to that, like, to this day. If you would have said, like, oh, we couldn't get it cleared, oh, we couldn't, you know,
Starting point is 00:01:16 you couldn't, you couldn't say anything else. Like, oh, this was a special track between those two. Like, he could have said anything. but because of that I just know that him and Drake must have underlining beef because there's no reason to leave Drake off a trance all right that's all I got
Starting point is 00:01:35 so let's get into the weekend because I just that was a whole tangent but I had this but Metro I ain't gonna lie a producer has never made me that mad ever in life like he literally came out obviously a leak okay I'm sorry let me go on topic so the weekend
Starting point is 00:01:50 double fantasy featuring future. Now, I know what you're already saying. It's a hit straight off the bat. I haven't got to listen to it. It's just one of the best tracks I ever heard, and I haven't even played it once. Well, let me tell you that I personally played the track,
Starting point is 00:02:10 and let me save you some time. It is fire. You know what I mean? Hey, you thought I was about to say something else, didn't you? Now, it was straight heat, the weekend future. They never missed, like ever. And I think at this point, the reason why we're getting AI covers of Drake and The Weekend is because
Starting point is 00:02:27 artistically and creatively, which is maybe the same thing. I don't know. I don't think a lot of people want the weekend making music with Drake because they feel like Drake will hold him back. And that's just what they say, the God's honest truth. And this is coming from a Drake stand because if you look at the weekend's journey between albums, there's an actual artistic image that he's going for. I mean, you look at after hours.
Starting point is 00:02:52 you look at Don FM You look at his next album Which they're rumoring to be afterlife It's not confirmed, so I don't know But his next album is rumored to be afterlife So we never know But um Basically the different
Starting point is 00:03:10 Sonically and engineering wise It's um Heavily influenced by Mike Dean And Metro Boomer Of course Also Drake has a certain sound that he always goes with and 40 if y'all don't know 40 he's like his right hand man when it comes to making music basically his engineer and I don't think people like the way that Drake kind of plays it safe on all his albums while the weekend has come listen to the weekend's first album listen to the weekend's last album is a complete change of just and just mixing mastering listen to Drake's first album and listen to Drake's first album and listen to Drake's current album mix and mastering definitely change but it's pretty much the same like as far as the weekend
Starting point is 00:03:59 vocally then and now then versus now is a complete different upgrade than Drake then and now if that makes sense so yeah a lot of people don't want the weekend to collaborate with Drake on anything because they feel like the boy is going to hold them back which i understand but um i think people are wrong but I can see what they're coming from because the weekend is one of my favorite artists especially in R&B but um yeah so the weekend and future um on the same track you know that's that's a lot so I can see it going top five on billboard
Starting point is 00:04:34 obviously it isn't just all about sales but when you're promoting a new TV show or whatever he's promoting called the idol which is like an HBO series and um you're putting this out as the promotion for it I think that we're going to get like a euphoria type of feel. And a lot of people don't like euphoria because it's technically said in high school, which I never looked at it like that. But like once you like, because me, I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Like I'm young. So it's like I don't really look at stuff like that. But I guess if you're older, you're like, bro, I'm not watching these people in high school do all these activities. But I guess the idol may be like an older version of that to give you like what you're looking for. Now I'm not saying it's like going to be on euphoria level of acting. I'm just saying like as far as the drugs, the party and, um, yeah, it's kind of, it's kind of similar. That's all I got.
Starting point is 00:05:27 That's all I got. That's the only similarities I can draw because we only seen that the trailers are the teaser. So I don't really know too much of what's going on. But I knew ever since I saw the weekend on uncut gems, which I ain't going to lie, man. Shout out. I ain't even going to do it. The weekend, um, acting on uncut jims, let's just say he did a great job. and yeah let's leave it at that and what else um there's something else i want to get into that was
Starting point is 00:05:57 basically it the weekend future uh double fantasy mike dean produced it metro i guess meltra helped out man i ain't never going to let they go ever unless metro puts out another drake track i'm never letting that go i'm not going to lie to you because metro and drake beefing just makes no sense it makes no sense it's like it's like it's like Drake and Kanye beefing like y'all know like y'all like a perfect math for each other but anyways maybe I'm tripping so anyways uh click my link to your my bio let me know in one of my social media's what do you think about the weekend and futures latest collab title double fantasy and will you be watching the HBO series the idol
