Speaker 2: Now Podcasts on YouTube. Like I said before in the

Speaker 2: last episode, we did it. We reached five hundred subscribers.
1:37
Speaker 2: I want to thank everybody that came through. But there's
1:41
Speaker 2: only one way to go from there, and that's up.
1:45
Speaker 2: So we are now on the road to one thousand,
1:47
Speaker 2: which shouldn't be difficult either. Again, you know, I've seen channels.
1:53
Speaker 2: I watch a lot of YouTube, you know, I really
1:55
Speaker 2: watch it like television more than television, which is crazy.
1:58
Speaker 2: But there are a lot of channels with less production values,
2:03
Speaker 2: less content and things like al You know, I like
2:08
Speaker 2: to eat a lot of chips, so I try the
2:10
Speaker 2: new chips or I try the new oreos on camera.
2:13
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, I'm addicted to watching it just
2:15
Speaker 2: like you. But if you like my content along with
2:20
Speaker 2: that content, and that content tends that way more subscribers
2:24
Speaker 2: than I do having news stories for you every week
2:28
Speaker 2: that don't all center around certain people coming home from
2:33
Speaker 2: jail or people going to jail. You know, I'm talking
2:39
Speaker 2: about damn freakofs. My content is just a resource that
2:46
Speaker 2: you can go to and say, what albums are coming out,
2:49
Speaker 2: what albums are out, what have you heard, what do
2:52
Speaker 2: you think about them? You know, to get some perspective,
2:55
Speaker 2: and obviously I want your perspective in the comment section.
2:59
Speaker 2: But it is the road to one thousand subscribers. It's
3:04
Speaker 2: helping the channel grow and more importantly, become visible in
3:10
Speaker 2: the algorithm. I'm here to say that stat wise, more
3:17
Speaker 2: people are finding this channel based off of YouTube's homepage
3:23
Speaker 2: and suggestions.
3:25
Speaker 1: That wasn't the case once upon a time.
3:27
Speaker 2: But now that we hit five hundred subscribers, now we
3:29
Speaker 2: in the eye the storm.
3:30
Speaker 1: You feel me? And what does that do well?
3:33
Speaker 2: That gets this kind of content to people who don't
3:36
Speaker 2: know about it, who would enjoy it. So I want
3:39
Speaker 2: to thank everybody who subscribed, everybody who's hit the light button,
3:42
Speaker 2: everybody who's commented.

3:49
Speaker 2: would also enjoy this kind of content. You got a page,
3:52

3:55
Speaker 2: it there.

Speaker 1: You know.
3:56
Speaker 2: I'm on every social media site, and the reason why
3:58
Speaker 2: I'm giving this pledge of on my pledge, but your
4:03
Speaker 2: pledge to subscribe is all this pitch I should say.
4:09
Speaker 2: It's because again, my stats show that more than fifty
4:13
Speaker 2: percent of people who press play on the video are
4:16
Speaker 2: not subscribers. Some people are popping in one time. I
4:20
Speaker 2: get it, but there are a lot of people who

Speaker 2: audio side of this podcast, because that's where it begins.
4:57
Speaker 2: So there you have it now, big shout out to
5:01
Speaker 2: Hip HOPDX dot com double XL. You know sometimes they
5:06
Speaker 2: don't be on the nonsense, so I'll be like, okay,
5:08
Speaker 2: good good looking out on the story and a couple
5:11
Speaker 2: of places where I get some of these stories from.
5:12
Speaker 2: Let's get ready to business though, so once again, and
5:21
Speaker 2: I don't even want to be this way, but I
5:23
Speaker 2: might just say it.
5:24
Speaker 1: So, what feels like the better part of ten years Redman.
5:30
Speaker 2: I don't know if it has been, but damn it, it
5:32
Speaker 2: feels like it. It feels like Redman has been announcing
5:38
Speaker 2: and promoting the fact that his next album will be
5:42
Speaker 2: Muddy Waters two for close to ten years, if not more.
5:46
Speaker 2: I am not lying. It's pre pandemic and all of that. Now,
5:50
Speaker 2: of course, we can look at certain things, right. Maybe
5:52
Speaker 2: when he initially announced it, it wasn't ready, you know
5:55
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Maybe it wasn't ready, right, he was
5:59
Speaker 2: just still working on Maybe he wanted it while he
6:02
Speaker 2: released freestyles and mixtape type joints. He wanted to let
6:06
Speaker 2: you know, but don't forget, Muddy Waters Too is on
6:09
Speaker 2: the way. And then it got to the point where
6:12
Speaker 2: we just didn't believe him anymore, and he would keep
6:15
Speaker 2: saying it. And I think last year he said it
6:17
Speaker 2: and try to is on the way, and it was
6:19
Speaker 2: just like, dog, I don't know if we can anymore. Well,
6:24
Speaker 2: now I guess he heard that message and said, Yo,
6:29
Speaker 2: Muddy Waters Too, It's on the way. Here's the album cover,
6:34
Speaker 2: and I ain't gonna lie. I got a little excited.
6:37
Speaker 2: Got a little excited, So let's go to hip hop
6:40
Speaker 2: d x dot com Redman fuse Muddy Waters Too t
6:46
Speaker 2: excitement by unveeling nostalgic cove ard. Now, y'all see the
6:52
Speaker 2: cover right now, I'm trying to figure out what's nostalgic
6:56
Speaker 2: about it. If you remember the original Muddy Waters album cover,
7:02
Speaker 2: he's like covered in mud, sitting in like what's the cabin?
7:05
Speaker 2: So maybe he's outside the cabin. Maybe that was his house.
7:08
Speaker 2: I don't know, but maybe he's outside of the head.
7:11
Speaker 2: You know, I got some mud on his thins, but
7:14
Speaker 2: I don't know. Let's just read a little bit more
7:15
Speaker 2: before we start judging. Redman has continued to stoke the
7:19
Speaker 2: fire for his long awaited album, Muddy Waters two by
7:22
Speaker 2: unveling its official cover art. A sequel to his highly
7:25
Speaker 2: acclaimed nineteen ninety six LP Muddy Waters. The forthcoming project's
7:30
Speaker 2: artwork features a retro ninety five and depicts the rat
7:34
Speaker 2: legend crouching in front of a house illuminated with an
7:38
Speaker 2: ominous red glow. Muddy Waters two will also serve as
7:42
Speaker 2: Redman's first album in nine years. So I was, I
7:46
Speaker 2: was close, I sit ten and his latest update certainly
7:50
Speaker 2: has fans excited, including some of Reggie's rat pits. A
7:55
Speaker 2: longtime partner in Ron method Man commented on his Instagram
7:59
Speaker 2: post fire mooji plaus moji, while fellow New York, New
8:05
Speaker 2: York of Bustin ROMs added oh ish flush face emoji.
8:12
Speaker 2: Now Alchemists appeared to be Redman's chief cheerleader and wrote
8:18
Speaker 2: drop this immediately, please, I'm totally with it now. Other
8:23
Speaker 2: people commented like DJ Premier, Pete rock Quest Love ferroal
8:27
Speaker 2: Monts Status selected sharing the excitement.
8:32
Speaker 1: But I'm just going to keep it.
8:35
Speaker 2: One thousand, one, one hundred percent over one hundred percent
8:42
Speaker 2: with y'all. I am cautiously optimistic. That's me recognized in
8:51
Speaker 2: my fandom as a big Redman fan, that there was
8:54
Speaker 2: a point in time Redman's first three first four albums
8:59
Speaker 2: Redman was my favorite rapper, like hands down, like Biggie
9:03
Speaker 2: is my favorite of all time. But that came with
9:06
Speaker 2: time for me to say something like that. Right, I
9:09
Speaker 2: knew he was my favorite, but I wasn't committed and
9:12
Speaker 2: he died and it just it got crazy. But at
9:15
Speaker 2: the time when Redman dropped, and particularly mainly his two
9:20
Speaker 2: first albums, right, it's too what is it?
9:24
Speaker 1: What the album? And there's a dark side?
9:26
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I think he my favorite rapper, right,
9:30
Speaker 2: And Redman released before Biggie, so we get it.
9:33
Speaker 1: But he was like my favorite rapper.
9:35
Speaker 2: Even going into his fourth album, which you know, Docs
9:39
Speaker 2: the name wasn't really what I wanted, but it wasn't
9:41
Speaker 2: that bad, and he was already three for three before that,
9:45
Speaker 2: with Muddy Waters being arguably his best album, So me
9:50
Speaker 2: being cautially cautiously optimistic is just like I'm a big
9:55
Speaker 2: fan and I long for the days when Redman was
10:00
Speaker 2: who he was on those three albums.
10:02
Speaker 1: Now lyrically he has not missed a beat. He's still dope,
10:07
Speaker 1: he's still interesting, he's still funny. But the problem I've
10:11
Speaker 1: had with Redman in recent years as far as his
10:14
Speaker 1: albums and why I'm not as big of a fan
10:18
Speaker 1: of albums post dots the name because malpractice, complete garbage,
10:23
Speaker 1: and then it was a mixed bag of stuff. It's
10:26
Speaker 1: because the music changed.
10:29
Speaker 2: I like Redman over Eric Sermon funk style beats, and
10:34
Speaker 2: from what I'm hearing, this is not entirely produced by
10:39
Speaker 2: Eric Sermon, and that's concerning. Now, maybe there's one song
10:44
Speaker 2: produced by him, I don't think so, and I don't
10:49
Speaker 2: remember offhand, which kind of sucks. Who was actually I
10:55
Speaker 2: don't even know if this was a rumor of who
10:58
Speaker 2: was going to produce the album. Yeah, I don't see
11:01
Speaker 2: it here in they report or I missed it, but
11:04
Speaker 2: it didn't say Eric Sermon, And that's concerning to me
11:08
Speaker 2: because it's like, I know it was bars twice.
11:11
Speaker 1: I know I didn't miss it.
11:14
Speaker 2: But mainly because what the album when it came out
11:17
Speaker 2: as debut, Red Man sound different. The production was like
11:21
Speaker 2: fibrin and dope songs like blow Your Mind and Tonight's
11:27
Speaker 2: to Night and Superman Lover. It was just so refreshing
11:32
Speaker 2: from what we were used to in hip hop. And
11:34
Speaker 2: then Dad the Dark Side was like really muddy but
11:37
Speaker 2: really down in the dumps with the funk sound, and
11:41
Speaker 2: I felt like Muddy Waters was like a combination of
11:44
Speaker 2: those two albums in one, which made it perfect to me.
11:49
Speaker 2: And similar to how Good Kid Man City if you
11:52
Speaker 2: look at Good Kid Mass City and to Pimp a
11:55
Speaker 2: Butterfly and Damn, feels like it borrows from both a
12:00
Speaker 2: lot of ways, you know what I'm saying, Like the
12:02
Speaker 2: perfected formula of the variety that Kendrick could come up with.
12:06
Speaker 1: That's what I felt with Redman.
12:08
Speaker 2: But I haven't been enthusiastic about his music lately and
12:13
Speaker 2: the freestyles and stuff like after watching almost ten years
12:18
Speaker 2: or those and not getting what he said he was
12:21
Speaker 2: going to do with Muddy Waters too, I'm not that optimistic.
12:26
Speaker 2: And I'll say this, there have been a couple of
12:29
Speaker 2: sequels that have been successful, right, Like you can call
12:34
Speaker 2: Stillmatic a sequel to Illmatic, right, you can tie it
12:37
Speaker 2: together similar titles or whatever. But Nas, you know, they said,
12:43
Speaker 2: I make another Ellmatic, but it's only forward. I'm moving,
12:46
Speaker 2: never back with stupid. Here's another classic, Senses Falling from
12:50
Speaker 2: the Sky. Like to me, that was like, oh, it's
12:54
Speaker 2: not an Illmatic part two as in the same thing.
12:59
Speaker 2: It's the evolution of NAS, you know what I'm saying.
13:02
Speaker 2: And it was. It was so dope. And I think
13:04
Speaker 2: Sotmatic is a classic. I really think Brave Heart Party
13:07
Speaker 2: you take that off. The rest of the songs are flawless,
13:11
Speaker 2: not perfect, No, no album's perfect, but you know what
13:13
Speaker 2: I mean. The rest of the album is good to great,
13:18
Speaker 2: And I feel like obviously only Built for Cuba Links
13:22
Speaker 2: two was excellent. But then you go to Do or
13:27
Speaker 2: Die too with a Z and I can't say I'm
13:30
Speaker 2: the biggest fan of the first Door Die. I feel
13:32
Speaker 2: like it needed a little bit some more songs and
13:34
Speaker 2: some more songs.
13:37
Speaker 1: I love it, don't get me wrong.
13:38
Speaker 2: I love the Aznins songs on Dough or Die one,
13:42
Speaker 2: but I felt like NAS was on that album so
13:44
Speaker 2: much that it was almost giving me a ghost face vibe,
13:48
Speaker 2: and I just wanted more solo as songs. Well, when
13:52
Speaker 2: he made Door Die two, I thought it would be
13:55
Speaker 2: dope so much better. I thought it would be an
13:57
Speaker 2: evolution and the covers crazy, But it was hit or
14:01
Speaker 2: miss on that album for me, so you know, and
14:05
Speaker 2: that's just one example. But it doesn't always work right.
14:09
Speaker 2: It just doesn't always work when you do sequels. And
14:13
Speaker 2: I'm afraid because this particular song or not song, but
14:18
Speaker 2: this particular album, Muddy Waters is literally the best in
14:22
Speaker 2: his catalog. Tough to beat, and how you evolve from that,
14:27
Speaker 2: and maybe evolving from that is not getting with Eeric
14:30
Speaker 2: Sermon and retreaded old ground, But I feel like that
14:33
Speaker 2: needs to happen because everything he's been releasing without Eric
14:37
Speaker 2: Sermon mostly falls on death is amongst most hip hop fans,
14:42
Speaker 2: Like I know there are some people who YO, but
14:44
Speaker 2: I like, you know, Rad going Wild and Reggie and
14:47
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, but you are in the minority. There's
14:50
Speaker 2: some people who didn't even know he had other albums.
14:53
Speaker 2: They just see the free styts. So I said all
14:56
Speaker 2: of that mainly because I'm a huge Redman fan and
15:00
Speaker 2: I want it to be dope. Unfortunately, Red Men laid
15:05
Speaker 2: out a plan for this that included single drops, and
15:11
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, cool, right around the corner, because
15:14
Speaker 2: when you show your album cover you start talking about
15:17
Speaker 2: the music, that means that joint dropping at least November. Nope,
15:23
Speaker 2: you will not see this album to sometime in August
15:28
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five. Now we say that now because
15:33
Speaker 2: we're in fall. Like man, it's a long time ago,
15:36
Speaker 2: a time away, but maybe waiting will be good. But
15:41
Speaker 2: showing us, oh, this single gonna drop in April four twenty,
15:45
Speaker 2: and this one's gonna drop in five twenty and six twenty,
15:48
Speaker 2: we're gonna do this.
15:49
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, why don't you just drop the
15:53
Speaker 1: album on for.
15:54
Speaker 2: Twenty What I'm saying, I would love that. Everybody would
15:59
Speaker 2: love that. So I don't know, like I said, cautiously optimistic.
16:09
Speaker 2: So Cameron claims Drake is one of hip hop's best
16:12
Speaker 2: slick talkers and thinks he's getting overlooked. Let's see if
16:19
Speaker 2: we could find a quote from Cameron actually saying this
16:21
Speaker 2: quote outside of the recent thing with Kendrick Lamar. Drake
16:25
Speaker 2: is one of the slickeest talkers ever in wrap. People
16:30
Speaker 2: always overlook that because he's light skinned and he can sing,
16:34
Speaker 2: or he's from Toronto or whatever. But this n word
16:38
Speaker 2: slick talk is ridiculous. Man, He talked ish, how do
16:44
Speaker 2: I feel about it? Tell me how you feel about
16:47
Speaker 2: it in the comment section of this podcast. But I
16:53
Speaker 2: would tend to agree now for those who don't really
16:58
Speaker 2: know Drake's work like that, because there's a lot of
17:00
Speaker 2: people who comment on Drake negatively who don't really know
17:05
Speaker 2: his work right to even judge it to you know,
17:09
Speaker 2: maybe they're looking at one thing, but they don't realize
17:11
Speaker 2: what Cameron is saying is, you know, the totality of
17:15
Speaker 2: Drake's work. He doesn't release hip hop albums like that
17:20
Speaker 2: to me, right, at least not on a regular but
17:23
Speaker 2: he has plenty of songs on a number of those
17:26
Speaker 2: albums that where he's spitting and he's slick talking, and
17:32
Speaker 2: he's done it on features. He got a lot of
17:34
Speaker 2: famous verses. When I talk about the Soldier boy joint.
17:36
Speaker 2: We know he took that, but he has enough bars
17:42
Speaker 2: as far as his catalog and features and Lucy songs
17:48
Speaker 2: here and there, no matter what it was for, he
17:50
Speaker 2: has some So I agree with Cameron, and I think
17:55
Speaker 2: it has somewhat to do with some of the things
17:57
Speaker 2: he mentioned, right. I don't know if it has to
17:59
Speaker 2: do with it being like and like that's a joke
18:01
Speaker 2: that you know, black people like to say, you know
18:04
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, how we joke with each other lights
18:05
Speaker 2: in the dark skin. But I think it does have
18:08
Speaker 2: something to do more so with the image of being
18:12
Speaker 2: a singer, you know, and the type of music he makes.
18:16
Speaker 2: People forget that the drake you see with twenty one
18:20
Speaker 2: Savage isn't the drake that was rocking for like ten
18:23
Speaker 2: years he was. He rhymes very differently. He did some
18:26
Speaker 2: of that in the battle, but not as much as
18:28
Speaker 2: I would have liked, to be honest, But he's had
18:32
Speaker 2: some lines.
18:34
Speaker 1: Now. I will say this, I feel like, like I've talked,
18:39
Speaker 1: you know about.
18:40
Speaker 2: Drake and tooting his lips out and pitches and all
18:43
Speaker 2: that dumb stuff, and I get it, but that's not
18:46
Speaker 2: the music. That's not the reason why I like him, like, Oh,
18:48
Speaker 2: I like the way he dress, I like the baretz
18:50
Speaker 2: in his head. I don't care about that. It affects
18:54
Speaker 2: some people and I get it. But at the end
18:56
Speaker 2: of the day, if the music's dope, I don't care
18:58
Speaker 2: what you dress like. You know, it's whatever. But what
19:03
Speaker 2: I do feel like is happening, and I don't know
19:06
Speaker 2: if it's necessary.
19:08
Speaker 1: There are a number of.
19:11
Speaker 2: Media outlets, hip hop media outlets and now even though
19:15
Speaker 2: this is a sports outlet, or Cameron in general, who
19:20
Speaker 2: are trying to remind people of why they like Drake
19:24
Speaker 2: because they feel like there's a campaign of hate towards Drake.
19:30
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think he lost the battle.
19:33
Speaker 2: I think the Internet had fun with it like they do.
19:37
Speaker 1: Right.
19:37
Speaker 2: You can't ask the Internet to not be the Internet.
19:40
Speaker 2: That's what they're gonna do. They're gonna do and make
19:44
Speaker 2: memes and do whatever they want to exhaustion, you know,
19:49
Speaker 2: until they're done having fun with it. But I think
19:52
Speaker 2: people were curious about new music and dope music, and
19:57
Speaker 2: the expectations are lost his battle. But you've been a
20:01
Speaker 2: monster hit maker, a monster music star, where just we
20:05
Speaker 2: know you're gonna have some heat but the problem with
20:08
Speaker 2: that is Drake is so stuck on the al that
20:15
Speaker 2: every time he tries to take a shot, everybody just
20:19
Speaker 2: brings back up all the stuff that he lost to
20:22
Speaker 2: and why and Pedophile you got a daughter and you're
20:25
Speaker 2: whacky from Toronto and stopped looking tough. He just brings
20:28
Speaker 2: it back up by referencing you know, the Battle like that.
20:32
Speaker 2: And then two he's trying to do the same formula
20:37
Speaker 2: on some records that he's done recently. When people before
20:42
Speaker 2: The Battle didn't really like Scary Dogs, they were saying
20:46
Speaker 2: that album was whacked. They saying Drake is phoning Phoning
20:49
Speaker 2: it in the Scary Hours was better. But that's the
20:54
Speaker 2: Drake I like when he rapping that Scary Hours. Drake
20:57
Speaker 2: is the one I like. But it was only it
21:01
Speaker 2: felt like it was only done because of what people's
21:04
Speaker 2: reaction to that album for All the Dogs, and I
21:09
Speaker 2: kind of feel like now every time I turn to
21:12
Speaker 2: a post, you know it's a media outlet reminding you
21:17
Speaker 2: about how many streams Drake has done over his career,
21:20
Speaker 2: when they're not even talking about the lack.
21:24
Speaker 1: Of charting.
21:26
Speaker 2: Now he's charted, but he's at one point he remained
21:30
Speaker 2: on the chart, didn't matter what it was old or new,
21:33
Speaker 2: and in recent times he hadn't. And I think he
21:37
Speaker 2: continues to turn people off with some of the things
21:39
Speaker 2: he's doing right with songs and little jabs here, but
21:44
Speaker 2: also because he's not getting back to the essence of
21:50
Speaker 2: why they liked you in the first place, rhyming like
21:53
Speaker 2: Migos and twenty one Savage and teaming up with dudes
21:57
Speaker 2: just to do that same it borrowed flow when you
22:02
Speaker 2: should get back and you take care bag, just make
22:08
Speaker 2: great music. That's it. It was the same thing I
22:11
Speaker 2: was saying about Ja Cole. You know, he had the
22:13
Speaker 2: feature with Daylight. I was like, Yo, do this, and
22:19
Speaker 2: then he goes and does an apology song basically to Drake,
22:24
Speaker 2: and now the Internet is killing him because he's bringing.
22:27
Speaker 1: It up again.
22:28
Speaker 2: We were just waiting for the fallout or what it was,
22:31
Speaker 2: the fall off, the fallout too that you know, drop that, but.
22:35
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
22:35
Speaker 2: So it's interesting that Cameron will say this because on
22:42
Speaker 2: the heels of the battle, he kept giving Drake props
22:48
Speaker 2: for things like trying to remind his fan base, Yo,
22:51
Speaker 2: we like him, right, and then you go to the
22:53
Speaker 2: comment section. They just flaming Cameron for that, and we
22:57
Speaker 2: know why that, Like Drake is as a as a
23:00
Speaker 2: fan and I ain't talking about a freaky I mean
23:03
Speaker 2: as a fan, a fanatic of dipset and all that
23:08
Speaker 2: and different people. You know, I'm sure he's looked out
23:11
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways, and you know, he's probably
23:14
Speaker 2: been really cool with him, you know what I'm saying.
23:16
Speaker 2: So I get why they would remind people. But it's
23:19
Speaker 2: the same reason why most people will being critical of
23:23
Speaker 2: a Drake and a j Cole always remind people how
23:28
Speaker 2: much of a fan they were.
23:30
Speaker 1: Most people, you know what I'm saying. Not everybody. Some
23:32
Speaker 1: people ain't like him anyway.
23:34
Speaker 2: But I know I could only speak for myself, you know,
23:37
Speaker 2: I look at it like I'm a fan and I
23:40
Speaker 2: just as a fan.
23:41
Speaker 1: I just want him to stop. Just stop.
23:47
Speaker 2: It's okay. You can lose anybody. Everybody could lose, you know,
23:54
Speaker 2: Kendrick could lose. Kendrick can start to feel like he
23:56
Speaker 2: a world beat it and get cooked by somebody else.
23:59
Speaker 1: It happens.
24:03
Speaker 2: But the more you do things that feed in to
24:07
Speaker 2: the lyrics that Kendrick put out, the more people gonna
24:11
Speaker 2: go right in the comment section and say, you know,
24:14
Speaker 2: quote Kendrick one of Kendrick's songs, and so it's a battle,
24:19
Speaker 2: right at the same time, you kind of want Drake
24:23
Speaker 2: to be able to get back to the music and
24:26
Speaker 2: be successful, and Kendrick to do his thing without having to,
24:29
Speaker 2: you know, take shots of dis Records and j Cole
24:32
Speaker 2: to do his thing and just kind of get back
24:33
Speaker 2: to three guys that made dope music that all kind
24:37
Speaker 2: of compliment each other or offer a variety to hip
24:42
Speaker 2: hop fans. And I just kind of feel like he's
24:45
Speaker 2: doing it to himself and they're just people who want to.
24:49
Speaker 1: Help him.
24:50
Speaker 2: But it seems extremely disingenuous in some ways because it's
24:57
Speaker 2: coming out of left field, not because it's not true.
25:00
Speaker 2: I think he is one of the best slick talkers
25:03
Speaker 2: in hip hop.
25:04
Speaker 1: Where does he rank.
25:06
Speaker 2: I don't think he ranks super high on my list,
25:09
Speaker 2: But there's things that he said that I thought it
25:12
Speaker 2: was dope that I was like, oh yeah, I like
25:14
Speaker 2: that joint. So I don't know what do you think?
25:18
Speaker 2: Leave your comments in a comment sex below. And lastly,
25:23
Speaker 2: so Tyler the Creator and Earth Gang both recently announced
25:29
Speaker 2: new albums dropping in October. If you're from the future,
25:34
Speaker 2: you already heard them. Why are you even here? I
25:36
Speaker 2: appreciate you hit the subscribe button. We'll get your ass
25:40
Speaker 2: out of here. But what was unique about that? Because
25:45
Speaker 2: I'm an Earth Gang fan and I'm a Tyler the
25:47
Speaker 2: Creator fan, I'm looking forward to what Earth Gang does.
25:51
Speaker 2: I like their evolution. Their first album was more underground
25:56
Speaker 2: hip hop. Now they kind of do more than that.
25:59
Speaker 2: But they really good at blending different styles and genres
26:03
Speaker 2: without sounding like they copying anybody. And when they need
26:06
Speaker 2: to get busy on some hip hops up, they get
26:08
Speaker 2: busy for real. They're not passable like they get busy
26:12
Speaker 2: for real. Tyler to the Creator, I love what he's
26:15
Speaker 2: been doing because early on with what was the crew
26:21
Speaker 2: again Wolfgang, because I keep getting, really say, the backwards
26:26
Speaker 2: version of it, like golf Wang, the Wolf game, just
26:31
Speaker 2: our future Wolf game.
26:32
Speaker 1: There you go. When he was with them, man, he
26:35
Speaker 1: had his early solos.
26:37
Speaker 2: I didn't necessarily like everything he did because I felt
26:40
Speaker 2: like a lot of what he was saying was pure
26:43
Speaker 2: shock value.
26:45
Speaker 1: But in recent years.
26:48
Speaker 2: You get to learn more about him and he's a
26:50
Speaker 2: little bit more introspective and he's just been on a
26:54
Speaker 2: dope run, like literally a dope run of probably what
26:59
Speaker 2: three to four or albums that I feel like, if
27:03
Speaker 2: not in my top five of the year, they would
27:06
Speaker 2: definitely in my best of the year.
27:09
Speaker 1: And now he has another one coming out.
27:11
Speaker 2: But what's unique about this story is that and I
27:14
Speaker 2: don't know who said it first or whatever, it's just
27:17
Speaker 2: who I saw it from first. Earth Gag announced, Yo,
27:22
Speaker 2: we're just putting our album out on Tuesdays like it
27:26
Speaker 2: used to be, because honestly, when you you know, when
27:30
Speaker 2: you get that new album on the weekday, you get
27:33
Speaker 2: to ride the working here for the first time, or
27:35
Speaker 2: go to school with your headphones on, listen to the
27:38
Speaker 2: for the first time in the gym. And the new
27:41
Speaker 2: release day for those who don't know, is Fridays. Officially,
27:45
Speaker 2: it used to be Tuesdays, but Fridays officially is the
27:48
Speaker 2: release day for new music. They felt like sometimes you
27:53
Speaker 2: could release a new album, especially if there's a number
27:55
Speaker 2: of albums releasing on Friday, and it gets lost in
27:58
Speaker 2: the weekend because of how some people listen to music.
28:02
Speaker 2: Some people only will reveal our album traveling commuting to work,
28:07
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Some people will only listen
28:12
Speaker 2: in the gym. I do a lot of that, Like
28:14
Speaker 2: my first listen most of the time is in the
28:17
Speaker 2: gym for a new album. So I get it from
28:22
Speaker 2: a certain standpoint, but it hasn't for me personally. It
28:26
Speaker 2: hasn't been a case where there's an album I check
28:30
Speaker 2: out and then I'm not listening to it during the weekend.
28:33
Speaker 2: Most of the time listen, if I really like it,
28:35
Speaker 2: I'm listening to it throughout the weekend. So that was
28:40
Speaker 2: said from Earth Game. But then when Tyler the creator
28:43
Speaker 2: I believe, the next day announced his album with cover
28:46
Speaker 2: and all of that and release date, he said his
28:50
Speaker 2: album was going to release on Monday, and he said
28:55
Speaker 2: the same exact thing for the same reasons that Earth
28:58
Speaker 2: Game said it. So I just wanted to look at
29:04
Speaker 2: that as well. I guess whether that's a good thing
29:09
Speaker 2: or not. Right, is that going to make more people
29:14
Speaker 2: invest in listening to your album.
29:19
Speaker 1: I don't think so. And I only say that because sure,
29:25
Speaker 1: going on social media and getting outlets to.
29:29
Speaker 2: Know when your album's going to be released and it's
29:33
Speaker 2: not going to be a Friday, there's some people who
29:35
Speaker 2: are fans like myself who are going to check for it.
29:38
Speaker 1: Purposely on those dates.
29:41
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to make any difference as
29:44
Speaker 2: far as my listening habits.
29:45
Speaker 1: It'll be nice, you know.
29:46
Speaker 2: It is nice to not have twenty seven albums releasing
29:51
Speaker 2: on a Friday and nothing all week, because sometimes I'm
29:54
Speaker 2: just loading up albums to listen to that I have
30:00
Speaker 2: to listen to the next week anyway, because they all
30:02
Speaker 2: came out on Friday, you know what I'm saying. So
30:05
Speaker 2: maybe it's good in that sense, but I feel like
30:08
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people who aren't as locked in,
30:11
Speaker 2: don't watch podcasts or listen to podcasts like this, and
30:15
Speaker 2: won't know until Friday when they go to look.
30:19
Speaker 1: You know, it just become the thing. So do I
30:25
Speaker 1: wanted to go back to Tuesdays? I don't care.
30:28
Speaker 2: I think at first I did care because I was like, well,
30:31
Speaker 2: why would you do that? Why Friday? Blah blah blah.
30:34
Speaker 2: But then I just looked at it like, well, people adapt,
30:36
Speaker 2: and then Friday's today. So I appreciate it coming out
30:41
Speaker 2: early because I have no idea what's releasing on the
30:43
Speaker 2: Friday of those weeks. I hope both albums are good,
30:48
Speaker 2: but only time will tell, so we'll see what do
30:52
Speaker 2: you think about these two albums releasing or just the
30:56
Speaker 2: release date of Tuesday in general? Right, Remember that wasn't
31:00
Speaker 2: that long ago. Do you prefer an album being released
31:05
Speaker 2: in the week instead of at the end of the
31:07
Speaker 2: week on Fridays. Leave your comments in a comments section below.
