50 Cent Is Undefeated (New Drake & PND Drop)

What’s poppin y’all,

Looks like Drake and PartyNextDoor actually dropped, and I’m hyped to check it out. Just scrolling through the tracklist, I already saw some interesting features—Brian Steele named on the tracklist, Yebba—and I’ll be diving in on stream to hold myself accountable. Otherwise, I might just avoid social media altogether to keep my first listen unbiased. That’s tough for me, considering what I do, but I don’t really browse much anyway.

What’s frustrating, though, is seeing people focus more on sales than the music itself. I even posted about this on Instagram—so many people are just waiting to see the numbers instead of actually listening. And it hurts even more with PND, because out of all artists, he deserves the attention on the music first. Of course, I’ll talk about sales too—I have to—but it’s wild to see how much that dominates the conversation.

On another note, the Big Meech Welcome Back concert just got canceled, and the irony is hard to ignore. This was supposed to have heavy hitters like Lil Baby, Rick Ross, 21 Savage—basically, all the big names in street rap. And then 50 Cent comes in and shuts it down. Say what you want about 50, but he’s undefeated in beefs. He stands on his principles, and that’s why he always comes out on top. Meanwhile, this makes Rick Ross look bad since he was involved in organizing the event. The accusations, the drama—it’s all just messy.

I didn’t cover this much on my channel because I try to avoid street drama unless it directly ties into music. It’s just not the type of content I enjoy, and I don’t think it attracts the audience I want. I’m here for music, discussion, and entertainment—but not in a way that revolves around that world.

That said, I’m glad Drake is giving us music this soon, but I hate that PND might suffer from it. The conversation should be about the music, but we’ll see how this plays out.

Let me know—are you checking out the new drop? Hit reply and tell me your thoughts.

Until next time,
