Another episode. Another episode. You guys are talking about some soccer. Yeah. Big weekend for sports. Fuck you. You had the football Sunday. You had some steady aggames. You had the Grand Slam. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking the tennis wasn't seen. Sheldon almost had it. Almost had it. Yeah, a good tournament though. Great tournament bro. Yeah. To beat fucking Alcarazza bro. It's a huge moment. Yeah. Football football Sunday. Any fantasy people in the chat let us know if you won your week. You lost your week to big dog mass. Big dog mass first time in a day. Yeah, it was NBA because if he would have lost that week to my Drake made points bro I would have heard it in the chat. Oh, that would have gone to I would have gotten some texts in the chat. But he had a crazy team this year bro. Yeah. I had an expect job with her to do what he was going to do bro. So I left him on my bench bro. But I'm happy though. Like there's a lot of positives out of like my week even though I lost. Expect Drake made it do better. I expect Pooca to do better bro. Guys got fucking 12 points. Drake made it look you a fraud bro. That's the narrative man. Drake the schedule made bro.

Yeah, but not he is bro against most of the record teams. I know he has a really yeah he has a really bad record. So I mean I know this this year's schedule is way tougher than what they had last year. So we'll see what he does. But aside from just the the schedule thing and playing a top team even the way he plays like if you watch the game like against Seattle bro he played like shit. Yeah, he played awful bro. He really played like shit. So I mean. I don't know it seemed like not that he was too overconfident bro but like just like the passes that he was making bro and like putting that ball in like high danger areas bro like. Yeah, it was just really bad bro. Yeah like no kidding you walked away with fucking three three. Yeah, listen, he's still a young fucking QB still very talented. I mean losing AJ Brown 2 is unfortunate for the the picture. So I was big on AJ Brown all year. But I'm like this guy's going to have a year. But it always fucking happens with this guy bro. Like either he's super inconsistent either he pops off and he's like a top three wide receiver in the league or he just fucking gets injured for half the season. Yeah, you got a hope that you could do something with him. But even at that bro, dobs played a horrible game against the sea hawks as well.

Yeah, I was talking to my cousin about like just I was watching the bro one catch that should have been like bro. There was one play of the game that completely threw it away from New England. Yeah, I think it was because of the catch on third down. I mean, yeah, it happens. Bro, what do you want to do? It happens, but you went off though. Your team went off Nick. Everyone should talking my team bro and they they pulled through you know what I mean. God, dude, you have a dangerous team when it's week one, right? We can't say. Yeah, week one we have to see. I mean, listen, I told you I drafted a lot of guys that probably aren't the popular picks, but guys that I fucking believe in, you know, Montgomery being one of them, Montefuckin, had trick of touchdowns I believe or two or you got two I think two or three. Parker Washington insane fucking week someone I believed in as well. JSN did what he did Caleb Williams ladies and gentlemen, if you have Caleb Williams on your fantasy team, I think we're in for a treat this year. I think he's a beast. I think he's top five. Chicago league. Chicago looks great. I mean, Chicago looks great and it's mainly because of that guy Caleb Williams. Well, that's just what it is.

Yeah, but guys do multi screen watching like how do you guys fucking so read it up at all again? Something called the red zone where it's like they they have one commentator that commentates for like eight games, bro, and you kind of it's like a multi screen, but it's more organized than the NFL put it together for it to be this. And you're watching how many games I want. All of that like eight. Yeah, like eight and if you have eight screens, no, it'll switch to like the big moments in the game. Like if there's like a pointless moment, they're not showing you that game. So it's a pretty cool way to watch. Yeah, and then prefer just like I have usually what we do at my dad's is like I have three channels like the three best games and we just. Like I'm the fucking multi guy like I just switched to this game switched to that game. So you're that's been watching the NFL for a long time. Is you have read the way you know it doesn't like red zone. I feel like I'll even like my uncle Tony Chris is that little fucking each red zone. You want to sit down and watch a real game. You want to watch real games. So let's see for someone like me like I'm just really into fantasy and surely that and I'll put on like a cowboys game. Like I was watching the giant scheme yesterday and I'll sit down like the cowboys, bro. Holy shit. That's crazy. That's the whole game.

No, I didn't. I just watched a couple of words and whack, whack, press cuts. My nickname for him, bro. He's fucking never fails to prove me wrong. Bro, you had CD lamb wide open for a touchdown at one point. And bro, I have to show you the replay of this throw. But it was going into the giants, bro. Like I know like they probably came in excited and everything and camp scatterbobro is a fucking. They're okay. They're like, you were the boy Jackson Dart is a fucking dog, bro. That guy's a beast. Yeah. Scatibos a fucking beast Malik neighbors back in had an amazing game. Isaiah likely as their tight end, their defense to crazy cornerbacks. They're actually a serious team. We go watch a giants game this year. Potential. Bro, New York's like a New York's like just a five and a half. We got to, can we try to do it like just like one one football game? It could be in Buffalo. I would love to watch it. It could be in New York. Let's see if the giants are playing the Steelers, bro. Would your dad come to that? For sure, bro. He would love to do it. We do it. Let's see what they play. Let's see. Hold up. That's a fun game to watch.

Giants versus Steelers, it can be fucking so they are not playing the giants. Unfortunately, we're the giants playing. Let me pull out their schedule two seconds because that's the closest to it. So for any context, guys, we have the CFL here in Canada to respect the league, but it's nowhere near on the level of the NFL. Respect to the team. I don't think it's the first one. I don't know if you guys saw the highlight of what the Alloettes did in like a game, how they like did a little punt and then recovered it right away to convert, to make it first down instead of fourth. Anyways, just go look it up. It's obviously not going to follow. It's like 10 times smaller or whatever, but it's still like respected to a certain extent. It's a Canadian sport. No one's watching out of Canada. A good game could be Washington's playing the Giants. That's a pretty good game week. Back then. Jacksonville, too. That's a good game. San Fran, a week 13. Jacksonville, a good bro and Philly, a week 18, but week 18. Where are Washington went off for you this week, bro? He's amazing, bro. He really think that and he should have got more points. He dropped a couple of balls. Yeah.

He's a beast, bro. He's a guy that again, I bet on. I'm like, I think he's going to be a, well, they revamped their offense this year, bro. They got options, bro. Even Jacobi Myers, how to pretty good team. They played, they played, they played a Cleveland. Yeah, they played a shit team. So like, whatever, I just really say anything. But we'll see, man, yeah, let us know in the comments. Any fantasy players fucking a week this week. And if you lost, why did you lose? Did the other guy have Caleb Williams and you just got cooked by a 40 pointer or maybe you're one and all? Let us know in the comments. I'm interested to see the way that it contrasts to next week. If guys like, for example, if Caleb Williams is going to have another monster game, if McBride's going to have another massive game, bro. Yeah, I'm going to see GSM for another one. Yeah. I mean, the big dogs, you could kind of bet on the big dogs like a, a GSM, a Tremac bride. Like those guys are just the volume they're getting is, yeah, for sure. Is, is for it to, to mean that they're going to have a good week. But yeah, guys like Parker Washington, guys like, Bucky Irving, guys like, like those are guys where you're like, okay, they have a great week. Are they going to fuck? Yeah, Chuba, bro, like, are they going to still have a good week?

I was pronouncing Chuba. No, Chuba. Yeah, I don't know. I hear the comment saying Chuba. I prefer saying Chuba. Yeah. I don't know what it is, but shout out the Canadian boy. Shout out to the Canadian. It's a Chuba's Canadian. Yeah, it's from Toronto and British. Wow, that's fucking crazy. He played a mental game. Bro, insane. Yeah, he played an insane. Caroline is pretty good, bro. The pilot is solid, but that was a team that people were kind of doubting at the beginning of the year, bro. No, Caroline. That's it. You never know how it happens, bro. You know what I noticed too? A lot of guys that have down years year prior, bro, obviously have to make up for it on their contract the next year and they have no choice. So that's why I jotted guys like Bucky Irving and Chuba, like I had no choice, bro. Those damn cowboys, bro. Yeah, I know. It's really unfortunate, man. It's, and I'm actually rooting for them, bro. Like I told you, I love their offense, accept their quarterback, bro. I think that press got is just overrated for what people claim him to be. He's not that he's a great quarterback, but to be the highest paid quarterback, highest player in the league and then positioning him to be this bad guy, like he's not that guy. You could throw away games for sure, but I think like, again, you got to see how the season goes.

Like who else are you going to go fucking get for your starting QB position? You've already invested the money. Him and CD him and CD and like what pickings did last year, like obviously like it's monumental. I think you have no choice but to keep him. Did you watch the Aaron Rodgers podcast where you're talking about that? I mean, I saw a bit of the podcast, but I didn't get to that. You just seem like how much he likes to wait back plays and like, you know, how comic could be in certain situations and obviously like his arms phenomenal, bro. And like the way he's able to find his targets, but yesterday was definitely disappointing. We should have taken it against the giants, but we'll see, bro. They got to wake up. It's a good little slap on the wrist, bro. You guys want to make play offs this year, bro. You're going to have to come harder, bro. Absolutely. I'll leave that type of real estate open for them to expose you. But enough football. It's getting to you guys are not football fans. This is the best part for you. This is the best part. We need to mention formal. Yeah. We need to touch on it at least a little bit. It's where at the time of this recording, like 30 hours until that whole shit goes live. Seeing what it's all about is the question on everyone's mind and the latest update we

got is Drake putting out a trailer, which a lot of people speculated by the way, Jennifer Lawrence was narrating it. I don't know if it's true or not. I want to replay it now and see if I hear her voice. I've seen so many of her movies that I'd probably recognize. It's like, let's see this. Yeah, even what's the dirt has been kind of speaking on the whole release as well. And he's been saying that he does sound like her. But now maybe it's in our heads and like, I don't fully hear it. I'll be honest. I don't know. Just the quote exactly what before and to get onto what's the dirt, shout out to what's the dirt. Drake had this to say about that trailer that he put on an Instagram. He said, FOMO, a not so short film directed and scored by the family September 15th. Yeah, he had to lower the expectations. Everyone thought this was going to be like a new studio album. I think that he wanted to clarify like chill. Like this is not going to be another album. It's going to be a live stream with whatever visuals and music's attached.

But I think the expectations were for something bigger than what it actually is. And as a Drake fan, I'm fine with that. You know what I mean? He gave three albums. And you also got a full blown like sort of movie bro for Iceman. Remember that night, right? You had all the music videos compiled into one that was narrative building within the the album. And I think that he realized the fans love that and that didn't happen for made up on her BFT because those were extra projects on the side. People weren't expecting it. They really focused on all the production for Iceman. People move to a good way to get the numbers back up for made of honor and a BFT. Even though I don't like those albums. I think it's cool fan service, bro. And I feel like in comparison to the life streams you were getting prior to the Iceman release versus that one production quality has been up. At least the last that I remember in the month of May, I haven't watched those videos in a minute. But I felt like I was impressed in that moment. And maybe instead of doing like those periodic episodes, right? Like one every week. Drop a fucking movie, bro. Literally just drop a movie. That's what we were all those music videos.

And shout out to his videographer Theo, what's his name? Skadoora. Yeah, bro. That guy's fucking, he's a monster. I don't know exactly what he's involved in or not. But I mean, I'm sure it's everything. But all these visuals that Drake's been leaning into has to come from that guy and that guy. He's strong. He's of him on top of the CN Tower. Bro, shooting IMAX fucking music videos. All these live streams. Like he's a fucking for the biggest artist of today. That's even the whisper my name video. I think it wasn't the whisper my name video where you had the woman in the cat suit that was climbing up the CN Tower from something like that. Yeah, from like the elevator or like a like it was just nuts, bro. Like I feel like he's done a great job, especially at least this year at upgrading his visuals. You go back to 100 gigs and you go listen to a song with no face and you see the music video for that. It's just them like writing through a mall, right? I think it was Yorkdale, mall from the mistake. And then after that, I loved what they did with the Fox. It's a song called how many remember that's all some 60 songs for you? Like just at the IMAX. Yeah, then what can you do?

You can do. Excuse me. That was a six fucking. That was super serious. I think you could argue that guys I came, guys I can't do it guys like whole bro like they're visuals and like you know the teams behind them. You have to have that bro. If you want to be a top tier player and I think you see some new rappers try to do it. I feel like you eat really tried to go hard on his visuals this year with like the album trailers and like the whole sopranos thing like visually speaking. It was really cool to put together, but the music doesn't match. But definitely. You know, I'm saying is that that's something cool that you could pick up from these guys even Kanye with the Chicago show but like production means everything. Yeah, you make it feel like a movie and it transcends just the music itself. But like people remember you for those moments. So I think the whole narrative of like music made it as no matter whatever it is. It's context needed, you know? For sure. And I mean to speak on this formal thing, not to ruin everyone's expectations. I still think we're going to get some new music. Maybe a song or two or three played in the live stream. And hopefully being vital bro, we may get vital. That's a track that was obviously seen on the track list that Noel wrote out when they

were kind of finalizing. I believe it was what Habipti. It didn't end up coming, which I don't know why the fuck they didn't put that on the track list. But we may now get it here after the reception of the fans being like why didn't you put this out? It would be a smart move. Yeah, it'd be definitely smart move. It's just like I do understand why you maybe wouldn't want to put it out. And it's like this with a lot of leaks where it's like, yo, I made this song five years ago. The world's heard it already. Who cares bro? This is not where I'm at. Like fuck this. But at the same time, yeah, it would be like one of his best songs of like this entire era. So why not give it to the fan? And it's like to just to play devil's advocate. If that point that you said was the truth, then why did it almost make the track list? So like if they didn't care and it was a leak thing, then it wouldn't even have been in consideration. You know what I mean? But it was. I feel like they planted that song though on those track list picks. Could be. I think they ever really had the intention maybe of dropping it originally and now they wanted to see if like, okay, let's let's take a picture of the original score. And let's put it out there and let's see what happens. And I feel like a fucking blew up or a g post and even a well common.

We should actually put a post on it saying like, we'll Drake release vital and like within the formal livestream tomorrow. I think it's a fair fucking. So that's your take. That's like a hot tape prediction that you have. Well, I think you might drop it. I think he's going to preview, play or release new music. And I don't think it's going to be an album. I think we could kind of throw that out the window. But I think I don't think he's going to do this whole last because that's my only problem with this livestream is as much as, you know, like you said, he's just wants to put out a film, a short film, blah, blah, blah. The format of the livestream and marketing it the way he has the 9 p.m. Eastern time tuning on YouTube has always been attributed to new music. He's never done it for it to just be fucking music videos. We never saw that. We saw what ice man, but that was our first time hearing the music. It was involved with new music. So for him to just do the whole same thing over again and not give us anything new aside from visuals, I think is impossible, bro. So to that point, I'm predicting that he has at least one, two or three songs that he plays, releases or previews.

And why not have one of them be vital, bro? I think it's a fair ask. But I don't think like if you're going to do a whole motion film, that's what you're dropping and like why drop it for nothing, you know, that's also he called it a not so short film like short films are usually like 10 minutes, 20 minutes. Like you're not going to have an hour worth of just music videos. And like you said, he's never done this before where you have a livestream and there is no new music previewed. So yeah, I think a minimum of like a couple of songs are going to be previewed for sure. And then I'm on Friday. Ah, yeah, I think it comes to streaming on Friday. Or he does play in the in the livestream would be released on DSPs Friday. Yeah. And that aligns perfectly with the sagey chai problem and that feature which is something else we get into. But yeah, don T collab. That's my prediction. It's a lot of people's prediction. True. I think that's going to happen. Do you think they just cooked it after that whole Toronto thing? So we're getting like a rushed collab. I think you're getting a little bit of rush. Honestly, I don't hear a Drake in Don T collab. Oh, I hear it. Oh, I hear it. I think this could be one of the better. I'm down for it.

Yeah, I can't imagine what it would be. You know what I mean? Like is what leaner they going in is dark and dark and atmospheric type of production. Sort of like what he's done with Travis, right? Cause Don T and Travis are not so far apart as artists. I feel like it's a bit different though. I feel like for like someone like Don T for example, you want to get him in the right place. I think the hook but then like Drake should do the hook though. You know, like it's a tough. I get to share the whole show. Do what you got. I don't know what you got. I don't want to do it. Of them like layering their vocals on the top of each other. I'm just saying I don't get excited. I don't get excited to hear like Don Tolliver is going to have a verse on this song. You know, like that doesn't like. But I'm down side to it because it's new. I've never heard Drake and Don eat together to the biggest. But I get what you're saying. It's not like when you get a like compared track or no, but even Travis, right? Like when you see when you know Travis has a verse on this song, you're like, I'm down to hear this. Travis. That's worn off. But not if it was with Drake, bro. Like you want to hear it. I'm hating, but I'm down to hear if that collab happens. That'd be a huge song for this year, bro.

It could go viral fucking huge. Two of the hottest rappers in the game right now. Yeah, it could go crazy. I'm Drake then comes in and he does this thing once again, bro. So that's your prediction. You think the Don Tolliver Drake song on this formal livestream is more likely than vital? Yeah. That's my, that's my part. I think it comes out on nitrous. I feel like it's going to be a nitrous release, bro. It could be. It could be on. That's my cake on it. Speaking about the AZ Chike situation. So this is really interesting. AZ Chike is dropping his new album this week and Kendrick Lamar is apparently a confirmed feature. Now, apparently Kendrick has been working on the album with AZ Chike for the past three months. Apparently they were in the studio locked in together. We put out the post on Twitter. You guys know the context. What's interesting, apparently, is that it was leaked through a podcast that was a T-REL. Yes. And by the way, before you keep on going, it's interesting because there's been conflicting reports in the sense of we can go into what T-REL said. But on thin ice, who's been right, shout out to Connor about a lot of shit that's gone

on in the industry is saying that Janay Eikos song is the only Kendrick feature that you're really getting this month. Teasing that like, we might just be in for ad-libs on the AZ Chike album. No, don't give me ad-libs, bro. I don't think so based on what T-REL said and how close he is to the camp so you can go into a new. Okay. So T-REL came out and said that he was going to be calling out the entire industry ad. Maybe not directly. This, everyone that this Tim, that's what he said. Exactly. So you would have probably gotten words. That's what he heard from the camp. Now academics comes out and said that he's hearing that there's not even a Kendrick fucking verse, bro. And apparently he removed it after T-REL ended up leaking that. So I don't know like the timelines are a bit confusing. T-REL saying one thing, academics is saying another thing after that, like you got apparently the confirmed feature and like AZ Chike said that there was a collaboration on this album. So are you going to do all this just to tease some ad-libs? Like what are you really getting out of this? And there was also a word that a song on this trike album was actually a song that was made for the GNX album that he ended up taking over.

So what does that mean? Like the Kendrick not have a verse in that song that they erase that verse and turn it into a trike song. I don't know, but at this point you did this huge tease with the Kendrick photo in the studio. People are not going to be happy, bro. If you just on ad-libs, people are not going to be pleased whatsoever. And respectfully to AZ Chike, like you know, I'm down to going to the new studio album. Let's see, bro. He's someone that's been getting obviously the co-signs from Kendrick, the co-signs from Tyler. Like they're really propping him up to be obviously the next guy that should carry the sound of the West Coast alongside those guys. And it's like, I'm still going into that album primarily for the Kendrick. Yeah. And then obviously like I'm going to pay attention to the album. If there's bangers, I'm down. I want to see what he's able to do. But the biggest sell of this whole fucking rollout has been the Kendrick collaboration. So that's where I'm at. I'm not sure. But this is classic Kendrick, bro. All right. Conflicting reports. Yeah. What's going to happen? Love it. This guy's missing him. He's not missing anyone. No, he's just going to have a bit of vocals. No, he just worked on the album.

It's all up in the air. And I think that's the past. Much this course of our just a Kendrick feature that hasn't come out yet. That's insane. It is. It's been insane. It's really insane. I would love the Kendrick feature though. And like you said, after the Janaiiko feature, it's fucking time, bro. To get a rap verse. It's time. And that was that was something that we got a lot of heat from the Kendrick fans for was you specifically saying like, well, this guy's good. Like he's a fucking master at rapping and putting together these incredible verses. It's enough with the vocal layering with another female vocalist. It's much better than him. It's enough. I liked how to pray, but I think there are people that listen to this song and it was like, bro, like it wasn't good. The song was not good, bro. You can't defend that. Like I can't get on stream for you guys with Lewin. Just fucking dance for you guys because while it's Kendrick and I got to keep my face, bro, like it's not a good fucking verse, bro. There's nothing redeemable. Wiggle with wiggle with wiggle it. And I agree with you, Lewin, in the sense that obviously a guy could try to diversify and go into something.

I mean, it worked for him with a song like Luther, right? So like, why wouldn't he attempt and try it again? But bro, you're such, you're literally one of the greatest rappers ever. Like why are the last three, four, five features that you dropped like you singing, bro? Like, it doesn't really work. So I totally agree. I mean, I get the sight of it that you were saying, Antwo, it's like, oh, it's not fair to say that. I get it. But bro, when it's becoming a volume thing of you're doing that more than you are rapping and you're one of the greatest to rap, it's a bit of a big deal. And it's just a quality control thing too. Like he's had some pretty decent melodic performances, right? All the way back to the beginning of his career, him singing some of his own hooks. It's been there. Like he's shown that he's able to do it. It's just like, no when a verse or a hook or a refrain, whatever it is, actually sounds fucking good. Like have just that quality control in your features, in your own music. And I feel like as of late, he's just been more, more loose with it. And when I mean loose with it, I mean in his features overall, bro. Like even his features on music from last year, weren't that impressive?

Like it's been this whole like last 365 of underwhelming Kendrick features. And I think it's a curation thing. Like you said, right? It's like you don't want to like your Kendrick adlibs on a cardi album. Like why is Kendrick doing adlibs on a song? Like that's not, you know what I mean? Or him being on these melodic features. Like I do think as fucking great as Kendrick is the curation, whether it's his decision or the people around him has been very poor, very, very poor. And we're seeing it, like you said, just from the output. So, and I think it's just about him like wanting to, you know, keep up his appearances and like, be still at the center of attention while he's not dropping it out. I think that's what it comes down to. So like he's a type of artist that's always going to get feature requests. And he's probably just saying yes to way more than he typically would. But why you're the same guy that disappears for five years and comes out and drops a fucking plastic album. But to be fair though, a lot of the albums that he did collaborate on were on huge moments, right? Like Junae Ike was returned this weekend.

It's been a huge topic of conversation. She hasn't dropped the studio album in six years. Obviously someone that's very closely tied into the West Coast. So I think it makes sense for him to appear on the albums. I think it's the approach that's kind of like, okay, we got to do something different here. You know, because it's not to say that everything's been bad. You guys got chains in the lips last year. So it's like if that's the type of level and quality you could perform on and you know that chains and whips in comparison to this is going to have a lot more steam. It's obviously going to be a lot more remembered and it's going to put you in a lot of different conversations. I don't know. Maybe he's just having fun with it. But I'm as a listener purely as an unbiased listener, it doesn't sound good. It doesn't sound good. I don't think it's completely lost. But like the whole thing of like, you know, you got to write off for Kato because you guys said he's the greatest knob, bro. Like you're allowed to criticize your favorite artist when you want to, bro. It is what it is. Like that's the sport, bro. That's the fun of the game. That's it. And then it comes down to like, oh, well, you just don't understand it. You don't understand him as an artist, brother. Let's give it a guy for fucking 16 years now. You know, like what's there not to understand?

And it's like, bro, just because we don't like it doesn't mean you guys can like if you fucking like the feature say less, man, like spin it, you know, like that. I think that's the, the other thing that causes a lot of debate is everyone's trying to be like, you're wrong and I'm right. But bro, it's all subjective. Like if you like the verse, enjoy it. I don't happen to like the verse. So I will not be playing it. You know, I think it's as simple as that. And it's true because there are some people that love the Kendrick feature. I just think it's a bit hypocritical, right? Because at the same time, like often like the Kendrick stands will really try to attack Drake for those types of like loose performances that they're kind of like Luster, bro, or like for example, I remember the Shabagging thing when he was using the nursery rhyme flow. Like if you really break it down, what's the difference between that and this Kendrick feature? I'm sorry. Like some of those performances as lackluster as Drake has been with them. Like that's a lackluster feature, bro. That's not a good feature. And they're very different in sound. But I get what you're saying. Yeah. But the thing is that I feel like Kendrick gets hold gets held on such a high pedestal for a great reason, right?

Like one of the greatest rappers of all time. But at the same time when he drops a feature like that and then you have another goat like Drake that drops a feature like that or that drops a song that's lackluster, you've got to hold them both accountable. Like for what you want as a listener, right? And again, they could do as they want. They're the creatives behind it. I've never been behind the boards. I'm speaking as a consumer, right? Like what I hear and what I'm getting. You know, moving the goalposts for Kendrick and being like, yeah, you know what? Like he's super inspired by this R&B sound and you guys just don't understand the rhythm of it. Like bro, no, like don't worry. I've listened to Luther Bro. I've listened to Shade Bro. Like I listened to DeAngelo. Like I know what good R&B is. And I don't even think it's R&B bro to be honest with you. Like that's another thing. I don't even feel like that's traditional R&B that they're speaking about. But I just think like you got to hold them up to that standard because he holds himself to that standard. If you want to just like an artist that drops a lackluster, shit all the time, well, go listen to eat, bro. You know, and then write everything he does. I don't know. I feel like it's an easy, easy, the easy, chick album is going to be interesting if Kendrick

is on there. It's got to have a verse, bro. You know, he's not singing on that album, you know what I mean? So we could expect some, some fucking heat and I'm excited. I'm excited to see. Even with that project sounds like as a whole, I'm not the biggest, easy, chick fan, but just to know that Kendrick has been working on it for three months, like in the studio with him, like that's fucking insane. Yeah, it's huge. So it should be something pretty good. And it's obviously going to be West Coast sounding and focused. And we'll see. We'll see what it is. Yeah, guys, we're going to be reacting to it as we always do every week on Patreon. So tap into that. Tap into that. Absolutely. By the way, ultimate reaction stream tomorrow for the full. No, well, at the time you're going to be seeing this going to be tonight. Tonight, ultimate, yeah, for ultimate reaction members. Let us know by the way in the comment section, how do you like the ultimate reaction tier? We have a consistent amount of people coming in every week. It's super fun. We do the recommendation streams, whatever. And like, I'm happy that you guys are happy with the product that we launched. And of course, like we don't want to charge you guys 50 bucks a month for this, which is did a slight upgrade on it. And you guys get double the reaction.

So if you guys want to check it out, it's available for you, link in the description. And then regular reaction for all members on Friday, yep, as per usual, other big news in the past week. New Migos. I don't think we spoke about this. We haven't spoken about it. So Cuevo did an interview and said that they're going to do it one last time, one last run, a tour, a new album, just to celebrate the legacy of the Migos. I think that it's easy to be kind of the vital and how you feel about this, right? Like on one side of the coin, you're happy. You're getting more Migos music. They've had an amazing run. They didn't have the longest studio album, the Scargography, even though they had a bunch of mixed tapes. So it's cool to see them kind of close up this chapter in an intentional way where they can have some level of control. And again, like it's just it's cool to have another moment to give their flowers to take off. We've obviously sadly passed away. On the other side of the coin, though, is it really going to feel the same knowing that like you're using versus that were released maybe over other productions that

were maybe freestyle that weren't really intended to be made on certain records. And I feel like what they're going to have to do is maybe like play around the takeoff versus I feel like that's the smartest thing to do is like he's not going to be able to find you guys where you're at, you know, creatively. So hopefully there's some old songs where you guys actually created it together or you're going to kind of build your versus and your hooks around what take off left behind and kind of use that as a springboard. I feel like that would be the best thing to do. But it always becomes tricky when you have like a posh miss release. I think that's always the hardest part because it's like what semi posh miss, right? Yeah, like what's real? Yes. And I think like that's where like I give them the benefit of the doubt of doing this justice is because obviously like that was a huge fucking hit for them. You know, like that's family and they want to celebrate. So I feel like it's going to be a beautiful moment. Like you said, it's like I don't want to go to the solemn experience like bad vibes forever.

For example, we're like you're listening to the shinier like well, this sounds like I G snippets and I don't think that's going to be the case. But like you said, there has to be pre recorded stuff that you guys intended on releasing at a certain point. And that's where I think the intention comes in is where these versus or these songs just made for another take off album or was it made, let's say, for features that were supposed to go to other artists like what's the curation? We'll never know. We'll only know on the night that we react to the album. But I don't think it's going to be another installment of culture. I feel like maybe it's going to be something different. They haven't said, I don't know. It's now you got three installments of the cultures. And it's just obviously the energy of those three guys cooking together. I'm sure is what led to us getting albums like culture and also obviously take off not being there. I feel like even just for I can't really speak for them, but just going into the studio and recording those verses, it doesn't feel the same, it doesn't hit the same at all. And it could even be pre recorded songs that were cut off of like culture three.

You know what I mean? That now becomes a part of this new album. So it's like we're not really getting the highest quality but we'll take off. What a beast bro. Yeah. You guys was insane man. So just to get any verse from him is going to be like a bittersweet moment and hopefully it's fire man. Hopefully it's super excited for this. We have to talk about Corday and Anderson Park because that was announced that they have a single dropping this week. Speaking of visuals like we did for you know Drake and the big three, they're tapping into some fucking sick as visuals, skits as well, the album cover resembling step brothers. It seems like a really fun rollout already and we're getting a single this Wednesday. So what do you guys think? You think it's going to be fire? I think it's going to be something that gets us hyped for the release. Do you think there's going to be multiple singles because the album's coming out in like what two months? I guess so which honestly kind of bums me out if I'm being really honest because it's already a short album as it is. I think it's only nine songs. I don't want three singles out before the album.

Once the album dropping is dropping October 23rd bro. So it's like a month. You're dropping a single like a whole month before then you're going to probably going to continue it up with a couple more after. I don't want a third of the album already out bro. I want to experience it as a whole so it's all just sick though bro. I love yeah, I love the amount of tracks. I don't know how I feel about like close to half of the album being out before it comes out. If it's three, I think maybe it'll be two with like a music video for each or something. Oh yeah, no, I'm excited bro. I mean, it's it's rare to see two talented rappers these days like actually team up and make a collab album and have fun with the way that it looks like they're having fun with it. Do you think it has perfect album potential? Nine songs, two guys that when they get on a track, they've they've dropped perfect songs bro. They literally have I think R&P is a fucking perfect song. It's one though. That's one. Yeah, I'm not I'm not I don't think the other two they put together summer drop and I think two tens two tens was an amazing song. It was cool. I think it was yeah, it was great.

But anyways, does it have that? I don't think so. No, it has that fucking. I don't think it's going to be a perfect album. I don't think so. No, I don't think so. You know why it's like it's just going to be loose like it's going to like have the freestyle vibe. It's going to be a lot of back and forth like I don't think they're going to treat it like wanting to make and I'm a fucking masterpiece of an album, you know what I mean? And I think they're doing a lot of fan service of like the stuff that you want to hear from them right, whether it's R&P or the other collaborations that they've released in the past. I'm just happy for them that they're getting this out bro. It seems like the community super excited. So guys, single this weekend, then I believe I'll be dropping in November correct if I'm the or October 23rd October 23rd. So let's see what happens with that. I'm really excited, but any other news before I move on? Um, not really. I mean, both, uh, well, well, a little dirt got found not guilty. So that was a huge piece of news. I don't really follow the case all that much. Neither did I. I just know Brian still. Brian's just a man. I'm really. Guys under feet. And then people are saying Tori Lines has to hire Brian still to get him out of this

one. Loki. That's a little. Let's get it. Bro, look, that's crazy bro. Brian steals the crazy turn of events. There's a lot of people are like, yo, like he's going away for life. Right. People thought that he had no hope. Again, people that were actually into the case. So crazy turn of events, fucking Brian steel does it again, bro. Insane Brian fucking steel. Yeah. Bro, honestly, these IG posts, shout out to these IG pages. I'm not going to call them out, but this is the post. What would you prefer? Would you rather eat M&Ms with M&M? Spend 50 cents with 50 cents or drink juice with juice. What are you doing? Bro, post. I can't call them. You're going to see it after the podcast. I can't call this a great way. There's more spend the weekend with the weekend. Have a future with future. Get a chance with chance, the rapper get lucky with lucky. What are you doing? I'm lucky with lucky. Oh, my God. That's really fun. Wait, wait, wait. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Have a little dirt with a little dirt or get some ice with ice cube. We have a little what, little dirt? A little dirt with a little dirt. I don't know. See the erratic material there. Yeah. And then the last one is get on a rocky trip, but he said, rocky, bro, this is crazy. It's a rocky trip. Yeah, I don't know, man. At least fall off at the end. Get a ride on a yacht with low yaddy. Get a play with Plyboy Cardi. Have a Metro ride with Metro Woman. That's up in this row. Listen. Come on, guys. Come on, guys. That's crazy. That's not it, but that's crazy. One. Yeah. And the other news. No, I guess we could go speak into some stuff that's happening with the brands and videos that we're looking to release and stuff. So could we speak about what we shot last Sunday? Is that something we could speak about? We did. I think we did speak about it. In a live stream, at least, I think you guys mentioned it or could have been on last episode. No, we're talking about. Yes. We didn't go in specifics, right? We didn't see it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that we did. Yeah. Yeah, lose fucking, he looted battle 10 Uzi fans.

Yeah. And the baited head to head, similar to how we did the GNX versus Iceman one, the Kanye one that we've done in the past. You guys were enraged. A lot of people were enraged about lose take about fucking Uzi not being a top 100 rapper. We spoken about it a hundred times. But now we put some fucking production behind it and said, hey, let's get some 10 Uzi fans to beef, flu face to face. I wasn't there for the shoot. I was there for the shoot. So I have no idea how it went. I don't even want to know how it went. I want to watch it for the first time. It went really well. I feel like I'm not going to go too much into the conversation. Yeah, I want to keep you guys in the surprise area. But I think you did a great job. I think they did a great job. And I think for anything else, right? Like whether you hate us or you love us, if you guys do something like, for example, in the rooms of the Uzi thing where it fucking exploded, we will give you the opportunity to come and debate it live. Like we're not those guys. Like we're not going to stand behind the keyboard and just kind of like, no, no, you want to do it. We'll talk about it in person and we'll get it done, bro.

Same thing that you did with GNX and Iceman versus J and like that production that we put together. Like that's the whole beauty of this is like, when you get in person and you find a lot of angry people that you usually they're not so angry, you know, and it's just an initial reaction because of the keyboards. Maybe you maybe you should do a fall off album of the year one towards the end of the year. That would be sick. That would eat a bunch of people with the album of the years. Yeah. And why the fall off stuff? And listen, like that's why we do what we do. You know what I mean to create those moments of being able to have like an organized debate that, you know, stays fucking structured, respectful and constructive is literally why we do what we do and to be able to do it with fans with high production value is fucking fire. Yeah. I think it's just sort of refreshing because like the majority of music discourse that we see online is just so toxic. It's not really built upon with strong arguments. Like it's just people fucking like maybe it starts off with. An opinion based comment for the first couple replies and then it goes to fuck your mother.

Like automatically after it goes to fuck your mother of doxing you like it does not stay as just a fucking civil debate. Yes. And that's what we get to bring to the community is like a real in person debate where people have mutual respect and are speaking about the fucking music and that's it. And that's real life, bro. Like that's why I think we're all fucking hypnotized by how we see Twitter and how we see Instagram comments, YouTube comments, it's very like just fucking toxic, combative like and this is like if we were to get all these people in the same room, this is probably how it would look like and go and it's actually good for the genre, but it's good for hip pop. It's good for the fans and we look to do way more of those. Yeah. Coming very, very soon by the way. And what is it? Okay. We'll talk about it after but hopefully the goal. I think we said this in the last livestream, but the goal is for this to come out next week. Next Monday. Yeah. That's the goal. We have some serious videos dropping. I know I've spoken about it with you guys and I kind of want to start getting ready for

this stuff. Spotify rap season is going to be upon us, bro. We're two months away. We kind of are planning some weight room videos for this because we feel like we're going to put out our traditional video of the Spotify rap reaction reacting to our stuff. But last year we dropped a massive video that a load of views for us when we were reacting to your guys as Spotify raps. But imagine doing it within the context of a white room and kind of making a game out of actually the project. People pulling out their raps on their phones and fucking. It's cool. Yeah. I mean, listen, the only challenge from like our point of view just so that people understand is obviously to shoot those videos. It takes a lot of fucking preparation, even a lot of editing and shit post production. And obviously rap being something that is very relevant in the moment. It's like you don't want to drop something like that two, three weeks later. So I think that's the biggest challenge in hurdle. But if we could fucking find the curve and solution around that, I think that weekend what we'd probably have to do is get ready to be in a location where it's accessible for people or people come in and we put out, we put out like sort of like our vetting

process before obviously. And then bro, we record it and like it gets edited like on the spot when it comes out. I think that's the like because to your point like you don't want to drop in two to three weeks after after it's irrelevant or another cool fucking approach to because again, I still don't see it as being that realistic, but something else that could be cool is bro, going in the streets of Montreal, going up to people and telling them to pull out their Spotify wrapped on the day Spotify wrapped. Exactly. You know what? And having the right area, having like some vlog like similar to how we did the Drake and the that could be cool bringing down the best things. The best thing to do with it is we're like a college campus or something where you're going to find like some kids that are listening to music. Yeah, that's speaking English. And then you just fucking challenge them on their wrapped, you know, because a lot of people want out of two fucking college kids is going to have Spotify, you know what I mean? So it's like just ask them to pull out the wrapped on the day the wrapped comes out. They're probably going to be reacting to their own wrapped for the first. It could just be cool content and that's easy to produce, easy to edit. So we'll see. Yeah, we're going to speak about that and see what happens.

But by the way, guys, as of right now, our tierless and the worst albums of all time has been released. That's some of the most fun I've had recording a tierless and like, well, wasn't you trying to pull? That was a really fun recording. So yeah, I was a funny one. That was a really good. A lot of albums that you guys mentioned that I never listened to that I never will. You know what? I thought it was going to be dreadful, but I had genuine fun like just going. So what I did was is that I was listening to the albums, right? And like I wasn't treating it like album reviews because there was a good 15 to 20 albums we had to listen to. And if you got to go and and spec like each one of those albums, you're kind of fucking cooked, you know? But what I did was is that I had fun because I wanted to see your guys' reactions in the Reddit comments and the YouTube comments and people having general discourse around these things. And it was cool to see the way people were like pushing back on certain albums. Like, for sure. I was one of the albums. You'll find the defense for some of the worst albums of all time. Like any bad album you can think of, there's someone out there in the world that will fuck with it.

Yeah. And there's people buying tickets to that tour for sure. I think that's what the beauty of music is. But yeah, going back on to what we could produce at the end of the year, by the way, I will say this end of the year is my favorite time to produce content. Yeah, me too. For sure. Fucking love. End of the year. Con almost there. Yeah. Like guys, I want like bro, we got to go hard, bro. We actually got to go hard. We got to get our shit done. Like you said, the fall off conversation, put me in. Oh, I'd be fired. Put me in, bro. I'll call it an album of the decade and like, bro, anyone, Drake fans, Kendrick fans, Cardi fans, whoever don't all over fans and a lot of people have a lot of oxygen. What's fucking do it, bro? Yeah. We'll have a whole conversation around it. And then so if we start organizing like maybe some cool shit around Spotify, wrapped that conversation to come out our list for top 10 albums and songs of the year, maybe we could put a cool twist on that to make it different, right? Do you think so? Potentially. We'll see what happens about it. Yeah. Who knows? A lot of fucking interesting shit and all these ideas that we're sharing with you guys means that you guys could share a bunch of those ideas with us. So if you guys have any fucking ideas for an in public shoot, a white room shoot that

we do or even just an in studio shoot that we could do, let us know because we're constantly in the search of what you guys want and maybe some ideas that could spark other ones that we have. And a word show night as well. That's going to be massive. I always felt like what happens if we did a live event around that, you know, like just like a community meetup and like did something like that. And then we live streamed it and found a way to get it going. That'd be super sick. But yeah, loads of content I get ideas guys. We're going to continue cooking. But one last thing before we get off today, you guys are somewhat Montreal Canadians fans. I know you've been getting in a lot more Nick and you've been following the team closely for the past year or so. Lule, like you were watching a bunch of games, but we were all fans at a certain point and you were at the game where Chris Criter was at that game. Chris Criter took out carry prices. Neon Chris Criter has been signed by the Montreal can. I saw that. How fucking crazy is that, bro? Hey, listen, bro, I'll fucking take it, man. You know, like we're not going to fucking hate on a guy. He's older, but he's still a great forward. He's still putting numbers in the board. But if the points in 25 goals last, he's awesome. Yeah, he's awesome.

Why the fuck? Yeah, he's exactly how do you feel? Someone that like, I love it, bro. I love it. To be honest with you, bro, there's like hockey's a quick game, bro. Throughout the rest of his career, like he was never a dirty player. Well, he's done what he's done to price the other goalies. But there is the reason why God was never like that. She's that him like as we continue going on, it's because there was an angle that was released and he actually signed the photo of the ankle of Emeland, literally tripping him before he went to because Emeland dove and then after that, he pulled this skate as he went directly into price. The biggest problem last year, though, was like lack of better in ship and like another power for him. Have him playing with Demi dog from yeah, they're going to play. They're going to play with Demi dog, bro. We just signed in Buzik another four years, 4.25. Very moves. Yeah, it's a bro, like I'm excited for this season, bro. Hey, listen, I was just expected to kind of came out and I know where this fucking is. So basically the ducks were they knew Chris Rider was probably going to leave because the ducks like really fucked up their cap structure. Philadelphia fucked them and they decided to put an offer sheet for Leo Carlson, who's their number one center and they offered him 18.5 million.

The problem is is that if the ducks did decide to match it, which they did, they would be up against the cap space because they only had $13 million left. But they have to sign cutter Goatsy this year, who's asking for 14 to 15. And they would have to sign guys like Beckett Seneca's, well, that are up for contract negotiations next year. So Chris Rider was the guy that was out the way that they did it was is the exterminated as contract. Once you hit contact, once you exterminate someone's contract, you go through the waiver process. No one picked it up because they felt like they'd be able to negotiate him with a better deal. And apparently he's the one. It came out today because the golf tournament just happened. He approached the Canadians. He wanted to come play here and the Canadians sit for sure, bro. I have I don't have to trade for him. I give him a $2.15 million contract. It's performance based. So if he goes above, he hits his cap of 5.5. It's super easy, bro. And now you could still have room to go out and go get other people as well. Big fucking W. So Chris Criter at the Belsen. He knows crazy too. There's a memorial night for Kerry Price on November 10th. He's going to be there.

Chris Criter is going to be there. But yeah, management spoke about that whole situation as well. And they said, kind of get over it. Yeah. So hold on. I'm sure there's some apps fans are like, there was apps. So just fuck right? They were like, this is the last guy I get. But you have to look for the greater good, bro. Like you have to care about like the future of the fucking team and like what it's going to do for the runner going to go on. Well, listen, they have no choice now, bro, because he's on the squad and we're a hot team. And you guys have been asking for a power forward with a sick shot to play with Demodov. All fucking summer. And now we get to know that Kerry Price, Chris Criter picture that they post on the Canadians. MTLIG is going to be the most viral thing in here. And it's all going to be good. And people are going to love him. And it's just a beautiful Cinderella story. So that being said, go haps, go ladies and gentlemen. Let's see how they play anything else. Or we know I just want little thing for you guys. If you guys never watch talk, you go watch Kerry Price's highlights, bro. It's genuinely the most disgusting thing you'll ever witness in your life, bro. They wasted one of the greatest careers that could have been, bro.

This guy was playing on the Washington Capitol's bro. Like this guy would have had like six down the cops, bro. This guy would have been an absolute unit. He still was though for us. But yeah, guys, thank you so much for coming in today. It was great to speak to you guys about new music reminder for the formal stream. You guys are watching this on Tuesday. So I'll speak in this tense tonight. We're going to be reacting to fear missing out. Ultimate reaction to your super sick. So if ever you've thought about converting over to the ultimate reaction to your now's a great time to do so. And then on Friday, or should I say late Thursday night, easy strike, easy strike business as per usual there loads of new content coming out. We're looking to post this. Oozzy debate maybe on Monday. It's looking like it though. So we'll see what happens as the week progresses. We'll keep you guys updated. And then after that, you guys are, you guys have the watch. You guys have the tier list for the worst times of all time. Everything's good. So lots of new content, drop us ideas for content suggestions for end of the year. We'll look through everything. We appreciate you guys and we'll catch you next Tuesday.

Peace.
