Post Malone - F-1 Trillion / 2024 / pop, country, pop country -
Can't lie to y'all when we saw Drake and 100 gigs in the same sentence we thought it was over for The Boy. Instead it's a BTS data dump with songs attached. Also Rachel Gun drops one of the worst breakdancing performances in Hip-Hop history. Strap in for a weird one!
Timecodes:
1:15 Drake is someone we donât always get the BTS
2:04 in-between what Drake should do and what we think he should do
2:38 Tin foil hat theory
4:10 Drake is the artist that would drop a documentary and everyone goes to see it
5:08 Didnât realize he is the type of artist that records this much of his process
7:34 If he could start again, he would be a dancehall/Afrobeats artist
10:36 This guy has a knife, and I bumped his pocket
11:29 Suffering from putting out too much music
12:53 Talk up
18: 11 To see him viewing himself as MJ from the early days
20:08 The video of him in the studio talking about Too Good
22:30 Olympics
23:13 Looks bad for PHDâs
24:08 Had the audacity to dance as poorly as she did/made a joke of the culture
25:21 So bad people thought it was a bit
26:56 The internet / real or fake outrage
29:25 For you as a white person on the opposite end of the planet and make a mockery of hip-hop
33:15 Underestimation of the importance
35:27 How important/impactful Canada is to hip-hop
