Now ladies and gentlemen, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because when it comes to NFR podcast, let's just say lay all the ones to blame if this deluxe edition does not happen. Because currently, I'm looking at the DSP for Travis Scott and the additional tracks that they say is on a deluxe edition. As far as The Wizard by Travis Scott, Tripout by Sheck West and Yeat, 110 South, by Wally the Sensei, let's just say, I'm literally refreshing as we speak. And it feels like the Playb Ricardy release all over again, because I keep looking at my DSP. I'm like, is my DSP broken? And I don't think so.

I'm going to it. I click Jack Boys 2 and there's nowhere to be found. So now I'm thinking to myself, are they lying to us? Like, hold on now. Don't let me find out. Everybody out here spreading fake news about this Jack Boys 2 deluxe. I'm thinking to myself, it's been 11 hours ago and I still ain't seen nothing when it comes to the actual DSP and the professional outlets that's like Spotify, Amazon.

It's like everybody's announcing this a deluxe edition. I'm like, is he trying to drum up some more anticipation for its project? Because I already said on my latest, like when I talked about his dist horse push a T, that was, you know, phenomenal by the way. You know, I obviously had glowing things to say about it, of course. When it comes to Travis Scott in his marketing strategy, as far as stepping on push the T's album, I think it's pretty solid. I think he's going to end up outselling his album,

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

I don't see him. Why does it say that? I don't know why I says that. Okay, so the actual feature list is Don't Oliver, Sheck West, Playwood Cardi, Future. Oh, it's because he doesn't list them out. Hmm. Well, so yeah, that's actual this, the first time I said it, those are the features. Ultimately, the three tracks that you're seeing right now as far as the Wizard trip out 110 South,

I think it should help out the sales because there's additional tracks from a superstar in the game, such as, you know, Travis Scott. I don't think he needs it to outsell push his album, but maybe these are supposed to be on the original body of work. Because for the life of me, I can not figure out why this project just wouldn't come out on a Friday. I mean, if you think about it, Pusha T is not going to outsell you because he's not a superstar like you. He doesn't have, he's literally talking to Joe Budden, Charlemagne. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he hit up academics while he's on vacation to try to get an interview.

I mean, he's really doing the marketing strategy of all marketing strategies as far as being on every major platform, right? So now you look at Travis Scott, not only not doing any of that as far as a marketing role, I mean, I guess he let us know that was coming. But he puts out the album on a Sunday instead of a Thursday at midnight that a lot of people do to end up on a new music playlist, right? That's a whole reason people drop music Thursday and midnight. People probably be thinking you could release music whenever. Why is everybody releasing music Thursday at midnight? Because if you release music any other day, the higher-ups are literally telling you, you're not going to be on a new music playlist unless you drop Thursday and midnight.

because when it comes to us getting everything in order, we have to know that this track is coming out. So now you give us a date, you turn in the track, and now we can put you on all the playlists we need to put you on to get you the engagement that major label artists usually get because of certain playlist pandering to them. I'm not going to say because of a dollar amount because that's payola and that's illegal. And you know, I'm going to let Aubrey Graham handle that. Ultimately, there's a reason why everybody drops. at Thursday at midnight. It's basically what the higher reps told him to do. So with Travis Scott dropping this project on a Sunday, it's very interesting. And not only that, Justin Bieber dropped his album at Thursday at midnight.

That's under Def Jam. If you don't know, the whole story between Pushy Tea and Def Jam. Def Jam didn't like that Pusha Tea had a Kendrick Lamar verse. Literally, you can look this up if you think I'm like this is so, it sounds so silly. You're going to think I'm making it up. Pusha T had a Kendrick Lamar verse. verse, Def Jam didn't like that. I think it was like earlier this year or maybe two years ago.

I forget. So Def Jam tells him to take Kendrick Lamar's verse off of the song and Pusha T and his brother, Malice, they say no. Def Jam is like, okay, well, album's not coming out. So now they go through that for like two years and then Pusha T subsequently buys himself out of his Def Jam deal. And he talks, so he goes into more detail about this on, what? What platform did he talk about this?

Preciatee buys himself. I think it was GQ out of Def Jam. Deal. I think it was GQ he talked about this. I don't know the actual source. I know he did talk about this, but let me see. So last week, Pusha T, but where did he say it, I don't know what he... Okay, I think it was GQ.

But anyways, from the clips themselves, They said that Def Jam wanted them to remove Kendrick Lamar's feature, Clips said no. And of course, they was at a stalemate. So essentially, the clips paid a seven-figure buyout to get out of the Def Jam contract, which I did not even know that was even possible. The group's manager, Stephen Victor, was able to negotiate a deal with Rock Nation in a day. So now it's kind of making sense. If you have Rock Nation in the play, especially the way they have lawyers,

I mean, Jay Z said himself, I got lawyers like shooters because I'm throwing them M's, right? So if you get out of a seven-figure deal and then, you know, just, it's such a coincidence, such a quinky dink that you end up with Rock Nation and less than a day. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop. Like, what's going on? So I think Sean Carter had a lot to do with that. But anyways, and he said he was on the phone, well, with Jay-Z as far as Stephen Victor, right?

So, you know, it's interesting tidbits. But, yeah, so that whole ordeal with Pushyotee and Def Jam, I know it sounds like a silly story, but literally they was holding them up because of that Kendrick Lamar verse. So, you know what's so funny? I don't even know why I said that. But ultimately, I was just letting you know, oh, Justin Bieber. Yeah, Justin Bieber's under Def Jam. So Def Jam probably tried to do a one-up on Pusher Tea because he got help from Jay-Z and the Rock Nation

to help him get out of his deal. and so they released the biggest artists on the same day that pushy tea put out his album so now you get the jason beber album that is title swag i know such a creative title right and then to play off of it even more jason beber himself if you don't believe the deaf jim did that to make jesus bison borg because it's been like four to five years jason beaver himself came out and reposted on his i g account uh a post going at push a t i'm like when did he hop into the beef i know i know death jim had beef or push a t but now Now, of course, you know, releasing one of your biggest acts on the same day of an artist you have beef with, but then that artist themselves jump out the window to the point where this is an official IG post from Justin Bieber. And I spell this name right?

Why is it not pushing up? Why is this not popping up? Oh, I'll put too many spaces. I think that's why. Okay. So, yeah. So when it comes to Justin Bieber, and literally this is from his. actual account and it was it was since taken down because you know that's how art is doing nowadays

but as you can see right here jesson beaver beaver valley himself wanted to smoke from the clips and literally said well reposted another account talking about justice is served talking about you know he's basically praising his album so little i mean uh jesson beber reposted this and this is what it says this is the only album that matters right now this album is way better than the clips Clips is for bitter, grown men who collect cod dolls and shop at Kith and Union. Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see in the top left, that is a verification mark. But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip-hop.

Like, what's going on? I don't know why Justin Bieber wants to go at Push the Tea. And of course, you're probably wondering why not just go to his actual account to pull this up. This is a story, so, you know, it's not there anymore. But this is what, this is actually from Justin Bieber's account. And it's very interesting because if you look up a little beber, right? Let's just look up a little Bieber right quick just in case you know what I mean. He got to make sure we cross-reference, you know what I'm saying?

So Little Beaver, you type in Little Beaver, same account name and everything. And guess what pops up? His official account. So this is actually his account that he posted his story from. It's just obviously spent 24 hours. So he's posting another stuff now. Like it went away. Now he's posting about some type of vacation.

Oh, there's sexy red. um i ain't a lot of sex you had the industry plan she gets posted by everybody anyways um getting back into justin beaver pause you guys see that's the problem so even beaver valley wanted smoke with the clips which is why you know him deaf jim it all made sense in the world to drop on push a t's day and then you have travis scott dropping on push a t's day which you know it's giving them a taste of what drake was going through as far as the whole vultron formation of kendrick lieland wayne future Williams, Rick Ross. I mean, I can keep going. A-Sad Rock, I mean, everybody just teamed up. I mean, goodness, you had thought that Canadian was Stano's or something. So anyways,

that's essentially on a much lower scale what has happened in a pushy tea. Justin Bieber and Travis Scott is indeed trying to reign on his parade. And I think it's going to work. I think ultimately Justin Bieber and Travis Scott is too big for Pushy T to get the attention they deserve for such a phenomenal rap album because of Justin Bieber and Travis Scott dropping around the same time. Well, Justin Bieber exactly. at the same time and then Travis Scott two days later. So with that being said, click my link to my bio, let me know in one of my social media's, what do you think about the original point of this segment as far as talking

about the deluxe edition? And do you think there's a conspiracy out there to take away exposure from the push-a-tee album?
