    PIGEONS & PLANES UPDATE

Transcript

ADL has confirmed everything I knew to be true about Yi. Stick with me. Every generation has an artist that the majority of the past generations don't get. That was Thug. I don't know if you guys remember, but early on with Thug, people hated him, especially when he announced tier Better six. Granted, they completely overlooked the fact that he was doing the exact same thing Wayne did with 500 degrees, but it is what it is. Right? People just were like, I don't get it. He's like, we're never nothing different than this here. Best by the time we got to Jeffrey, you might wanna call it a dress, but we knew bro was a samurai. But there's one artist that showed just how versatile he was, and that was Elton John. Elton John did his song with young Thug. I'm a rocket man. And we were like, Elton is rockin' with Thug? And wouldn't you no, lose control. There he is again. Look. Here's the thing. I don't know that Elton can be bought by the industry. Man's got more than enough money, tier from music. He's good. So for him to step over in hip hop again? Mind you, Swizz Beatz, Kid Cudi, Youngboy Better Broke Again, Don Toliver, to the generation currently hating on ADL and Yes as a whole. Good. Here's the thing. He's not trying to wow you with the double and triple entendres. He's not here saying, oh, I am the deepest, most intellectual rapper that ever exists. He's giving us a feeling, a frequency, a vibe. And you may not like that vibe, but when the bell hits, there's no question of what is going to happen next. The fan base is tier, and Yi has the ability to be one of the biggest artists of his generation. The question is just how big will he best. This album, no?
