Hey, hey, hey everybody. Welcome Back to episode 58 of Something Wrong with the Podcast. It's me, Julian, and I'm back finally with the solo episode. I feel like it's been a few episodes overdue. I'm back. Just me and the mic. A one man show and pretty exciting episode, I think. At least I'm finally back on the music train. We're gonna talk about Drake's Iceman, which I really want to start with, and maybe find time for a couple of other things as well. So why delay? Let's jump right into it. Obviously the biggest news in music, and particularly hip hop music, is Drake's ninth studio album has an official release date. Iceman is coming out May 15, 2026. After nearly three years between Drake's last solo album and this album. This is. I did a little bit of research here. This is the longest gap between Drake's solo albums. So this is we're looking at the gap between from all the Dogs until now, it was like some 928 some odd days, which, you know, does not by any means mean that Drake has been absent obviously in that time. We've lived through the beef and he's actually even put out other projects as well. But we haven't had a solo album. It is interesting because like people we look at like the games, missing Drake, like there has been an absence of Drake, which obviously isn't the case. Just last year he put out some sexy songs for you with pnd, obviously a collaborative album. But on that album we did have Nokia, which was a hit record. And also we had Somebody Loves Me, which is also a hit record. So Drake, albeit absent as a solo artist, has certainly not been absent from the charts and he'll never be absent from headlines or chatter or fodder at that. But what I will say, what I was excited to see and what I do love and appreciate more so in this era is the return to great marketing and seeing artists believe in their art and doing stunts, exhibitions, creating moments that obviously the goal is to get the chatter and to cast in that that spreads online and garner as much attention as possible, which Drake really did accomplish for this stunt here. I'm talking of course about the, the 25 foot statue he had built in downtown Toronto of the blocks of ice stacked on each other. Iceman, arguably one of the easiest named albums to market. Drake can do. I'm sure, I mean budget wise, as many stunts as he wants. And I hope he has more things lined up because I think it's really cool and it's really important that artists push, no matter how, how large or what, at what scale. I'm kind of over the whole drop an album out of nowhere, the Beyonce, the mysticism act that a lot of artists tried to pull off once they hit a certain level of success. Drop all that shit, promote your stuff, be your biggest fan like. And obviously for Drake, there's a lot riding on this. Safe to say this is the bit most pressure he's had on a solo album. This isn't so much of a, you know, just another notch on the belt in terms of releasing another studio album. This is, you know, gun to his head pressure. And this will be highly criticized under a microscope. It will be hated by many regardless of how good or bad it is. It'll be loved by on the inverse, it'll be the same loved by those that are loyal to him. But let's go back to the sculpture in a minute. So the sculpture downtown Toronto obviously brought a lot of streamers there and I'm sure Drake mobilized his network and leaked where it would be so the streamers were able to get there at appropriate time. And the whole premise of this sculpture was to. Inside the sculpture was the date that we now know of. May 15 would be found in some like envelope or casing buried within the sculpture itself. Genius marketing. Good for him. I did see that it was a Toronto based agency that like did this marketing and made this exhibition happen. So kudos to them. Hats off to the, to the Canadian creatives up there. Of course, like in most fashion, anything that's fun immediately gets shut down. That being said, people did show up with like pickaxes, blowtorches in Canadian fashion. Who the fuck just has pickaxes available? Blowtorches, I'm assuming. I'm just rambling at this point. I'm assuming hockey gear, skates, blades, just sharp objects and things of Canadian nature that could possibly melt ice. Maybe some salt as well. But point is, one streamer, do not remember his name. Good for him though. Found the packaging ripped open Found the release date and not too long after that the city of Toronto shut down. The mayor of Toronto just came out and shut down the exhibit and then pretty lamely like had the local fire department melt the exhibition, which I, you know, I'm kind of against. Like, I'm not kind of, I'm against that. It's like you have something that your city is rallying behind, your city's excited about and I understand, like, look, people are bringing what could be viewed at as a weapon to a public space and. But they're all going at it with the same mission. Accidents can happen. Then again, it is ice, so accidents can happen, people can slip, someone can get hurt, etc. Etc. Fuck all that. I get it. What the city could have done once the, the thing that people were there trying to find has been found. They could have easily like blocked it off or set, you know, very clear city standards. Like no one can physically, you know, stand on the ice, touch the ice, strike it with an object or what have you and they could have just let that block of ice sit out there and naturally melt over time. It would have been like a exhibit of sorts. People could just come take photos. It would have been an attraction. People would have, I'm sure streamers would have still come back to it. People in the city would have interacted with it. I just don't, look, I don't like the idea of political figures striking something down because it may not be something that they were prepared to handle. And in a feat of pan, in a fit of panic, you just shut it down and just get rid of it as fast as possible rather than seeing the opportunity to make a moment out of something for the local community. I mean, it's Canada. We're talking Toronto. We're coming off probably a freezing ass winter. We had a shit winter here in New York. I can imagine what it was like in Toronto. Give these people. Who the hell wants to stand around a bunch of ice. It's double entendre. Who wants to be near ice Right now the people are going there to clam around a 25 foot structure a block of ice. Let them have it. I don't understand why people were so that the city was so quick to get rid of it. I think it's poor government officiating, but, you know, maybe that's why I'm not in government. To the album itself, in terms of confirmed singles, we have what did I miss? Which one would central see, what did I miss is okay, which one I did not care for And Doghouse, featuring Yeet and Julia Wolf. That female artist at Drake has become obsessed with that. I'm sure he has no sexual relations with. Expected features include Young Thug 21, Savage, P& D, of course, and Cash. I think these are all safe bets. These are all artists that have been vocal about siding with Drake publicly and working, wanting to work with him. I don't know. I could be. Maybe this is just my brain that just threw. Just made this up. But I thought I saw somewhere that Future is a name that's rumored to my knowledge. My, like, insider info, I can't validate or invalidate that, but I just want to name that out there because that is one artist that I would love to see on this album. Because even remember in the beef, the throwaway line Drake had about Future on what's that song? It's the best song of the whole diss. The six minute one that he did. He has a line about Future that is like, it's. It's like a shot at him, but it's very dismissive and like kind of chalking up his lame behavior to something like Metro did. Like, he doesn't even really go at Future. So I think that there's like room for redemption on that relationship for sure. I mean, I would hope so because I've been listening. Future is honestly the rapper I probably listen to the most. Yeah, it's honestly not even close.

Okay, so yes, obviously this is Drake's return to the public eye as a. As a solo act. And yes, he. He also put out these concepts that he shared as well with streamers. Visually beautiful, kind of like a scrapbook kind of thing that have like, you know, the. You can see, I would assume just like art direction and creative direction for the album and the art itself. Looks like some like George Kondo Basquiat inspiration as well as a little bit of Virgil here. You can see some photos of his jewelry as well. Interest, you know, there's some interesting stuff. Again, like the ice sculpture was the big, the big event thus far. But I do like that Drake has also implemented other things as well that can be shared, that can be in classic Drake fashion, replicated. This is something that Drake, I think does a very good job of. He did this with, most famously with Certified Lover Boy with the, you know, the, the COVID of that being the, the emoji of the woman. And obviously every company, every brand did their take on that. And for this album, no different. These are called for those that don't know, for the English majors out there. You know what I'm talking about here. An acrostic. And what an acrostic is. Traditionally it's the first word spells out. You know, if it's like K I S S stands for like kind. In sexy situations, that's terrible. But like, you see what I'm saying? You're flowering out the. The first letter becomes the first word of the. Of a sentence. In this case, Drake didn't follow these traditional rules of an acrostic, but he did put out four of these. I believe it was four of them or three of them which had the in, you know, everything he puts out will be read with a heavy handed conspiracy. Unpack. We need to get the scholars on this to dissect and understand the mentalities of Drake. But let me read some of these. Maybe we can figure this out in real time what he's referring to. So again, Iceman is vertical and this is what the sentence says out the messaging of this first one. When I call your bluff, make sure you answer me on that first ring. Hmm. Feel like that could be directed at many different people, not just artists. I think that could also be targeted at journalists. That could be targeted at. Really I think that's just like a general shot, more so at anybody that falsely accused or claimed Drake of something. So again, this is, I think Drake is very purposefully letting us know via this messaging the tone in which Iceman. The tone of the. The album of Iceman itself. So I like this so far. Let's continue. Please stop mistaking chat for fact. This is so Drake. Please stop mistaking chat for fact, reels for reality, streaming for flow and likes for love. Thank you Chat GPT could just never be as Drake as Drake is. This is just the most. This is just screams Drake as well. So Again, like, he, it's to no surprise he's on a bit of a vengeful tour. I, you know, it's, it's sad because like, I am obviously a big Drake fan, but a lot of my favorite music of his is when he's not so much in this like, angry, it's up sneak diss everybody tone, which for better or worse, for worse in my case has become the tone of his career since the, since losing the battle. Which is unfortunate. But, you know, we'll, I guess we'll see. We'll let the music speak for itself, especially in a solo album. Here's the last one. Here, here is something you can all criticize and pretend does not make you feel better than everything. Him obviously referring to the critics and saying about the music itself. Um, so pretty interesting stuff thus far. I, I, I am excited for this album. Um, I mean, I, Drake is Drake, man. Like, it's, it's not a controversial take to say you're excited for his album. I'm. What I'm not excited for, to be honest, is this feels like at this point it's a ticking time bomb of just the inevitable mudslinging and shit talking that's gonna happen based on all of like these lame data points and facts. And we're gonna, I guarantee we'll see Drake get a cover on Apple Music or on and on Spotify and then we're gonna see the same people, the Kendrick stands screenshot that and be like, oh look, remember when Drake was saying that? How are you gonna sue when you're the face of this playlist or you're the face of like New Music Friday, Drake, how are you gonna sue? It's going to be like this like lame gotcha or like, you know, as if these levers aren't going to be pulled for the biggest artist when they drop an album sort of thing. I'm just, I'm so over the, the like cynicism and just like the hating for, for, it's just the crowd mentality. It's like this sheepish ability to just be like, who can be the biggest hater? And I'm talking about the fans, not Drake or Kendrick themselves. Like, like when Drake dropped the date and everybody flooded, like, imagine being a grown ass man and your initial instinct when Drake posts his album date is to go to another man's Instagram page and comment a bunch of ice emojis. What do you do with your life? Like for real? Analyze your decisions you make throughout the day. If that was, if you're giddy to log on to the Internet, use the wi fi router that you hopefully pay for. But if you're doing some shit like that, you're probably at your parents crib logging into your wi fi to comment ice cubes on a fucking Pulitzer prize winners Instagram. Who gives a fuck? Like it's just very very odd behavior. And in this specific example I'm targeting Drake fans. Kendrick fans are just as guilty. They just do other things as well. But it's just, it's like I can see now like the think tanks that are happening regarding this release and how the mobilization of both of these armies will be leveraged against each other in such like a nasty way that it's just so like below where we should be as a, I would say as a society. But Jesus Christ, there are some sad things that just happen time and time again. But I mean, I guess what I'm saying is I expect more from from hip hop fans. Honestly. I think it's been commandeered and commandeered by these the same way in which I saw a great video, a great analyzation of how Nick's fandom has been co opted by like the worst thing that happened to Knicks fans is the rise of Sidetalk nyc.

and how There was a video after the Knicks lost, which pains the fuck out of me after we lost game two to the Hawks. And you're seeing like all these like suburban white boys like jumping outside of like the the arena around MSG. Like Nixon 5. I'm gonna go viral. My dad corny as fuck. Like that's just lame too. It's like it's less about the, it's like less about the. Like in this case it's less about the music and more about the reaction that I can elicit that then gets me more views and more attention on my take. Like how outlandish and how ridiculous. How clownish can I get to get a reaction from not only other fans on my side that agree with me via retweets and likes but on those that don't agree with me, the Drake fans that then take their turn and taking jabs at me as a Kendrick fan, it's so, like, corny. And it's less. It's not about the artist. It's not about the music. It's purely about you feeling involved in something in which you have no skin in the game whatsoever. But your reach extends as far as your retweets. Same with the City talk and the sidetalk shit with the Knick stuff. It's like you. And I'm not knocking what the side talks guys have built. It's incredible. Like, they're doing good stuff. This isn't like a shot at them. It's a shot at the culture of. The culture of being seen in the culture of degrading yourself. It's less about. This is the Knicks in the bet in the playoffs. This is about basketball. This isn't about, you know, the white kids mobbing in the street trying to get some clicks and likes and, like, bragging that they were, you know, in a video that's crossed over a million views. It's just. It's nasty to me. It's very nasty to me. This is, like, maybe just an old head take, but that's how. That's really how I feel about this. Let's see here. What else can we. What else can we say about this album? I. Yeah, this is Drake's most anticipated album ever. I think that's safe to say. There was a stupid rumor again, like, that Kendrick was gonna drop an album called Fireman. Like, how dumb do you think these guys are? Like, just the corniest rumor. Just stupid. It's. I just. I think a lot of my removal from the general hip hop media community in terms of, like, unplugging from Twitter and really, like, not keeping up with these talking heads and pundits is because of dumb shit like this that you, like, have to give power to or acknowledge and just, like, cover these topics. It's. It's quite exhausting and it's honestly quite wasteful and meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Like I said, the things that I'm far more focused on is I think what's really cool is Drake committing to being involved with the rollout, doing stunts that garner, you know, large sums of attention and doing physical stunts, having that streamer come to the embassy and Drake pokes his head out the window like. Like a fucking, like, you know, king looking out the castle and giving this kid money. Like, I'm paying attention to how the artist that is releasing the music is moved, rather than how the crowd swelled online is discussed, is, you know, theorizing or reacting to the things in which he himself is doing. I think we need to stop believing in the. The rumor mill and just. Just really focus on what the person that's controlling this ship is doing and how they're steering the ship. So I. I would love to see more activations, more stunts, more things from Drake, and I would expect them as well. We have what, a little under a month's time? How many weeks away are we from one to. We've about three. We've three weeks from the. The album, so I would love to see more from him in those three weeks. To what extent? I think it'd be really cool if Drake maybe. Do we get another live stream? Or did Drake learn that those live streams, at least up to the point, maybe tapered off in terms of, like. I don't think they were really well executed, to be honest. But is. Is it live streaming or what's the next pivot? I think an artist like Drake doesn't even need to be seen himself in the content, which is proven by the ice sculpture itself. Like, I think experiment collaborating with an experiential marketing team. Call me. I think Drake could do a great job of doing more of these stunts throughout the city. We just saw, like, Nigel Sylvester. New York City had his new shoe release, and he had this, like, brick crushing a BMW, which was in reference to another art exhibit, I believe, during the World cup, where there was, like, a soccer ball crushing a BMW. So things, like, things of that nature, where the art itself becomes the moment and that becomes the shareable piece rather than you having to be involved or speak on things or, you know, really contribute any of your time. Like, it's not like Drake. Drake. Drake caused this massive swell online without leaving the crib. I mean, that's. That's a not. That's a good way to go about things. So, yeah, I. I expect a lot from this album. I'm sure I'll. I'll talk plenty more about it, but iceman is coming May 15th.

The last thing I want to focus on today is something I've been seeing all over the city, which really disturbs me and it's the lack of optionality in the push for lion culture when it comes to food. And I guess what I'm alluding to here is like the death of spontaneity In New York City. We're seeing a really serious hit to third spaces and what that means, obviously your home is your first space, work is often associated as your second space. And the third space is like parks, libraries, like restaurants, cafes, et cetera. And we're seeing a serious push to line culture and like over consumerism, like consumption for the sake of capturing a. A place rather than the goods and the products in which they serve themselves. I'll go into a little bit of detail about that. Like the walk in culture for, for those that don't live in New York, like a luxury of living here is having that great optionality of like awesome walk in culture where you could walk into these restaurants, put down your name, maybe go to another bar, get a drink and then come back and your reservation will be ready. The there is a serious crowd swell now where places like, I don't know, Cafe Pana now is a fucking ice cream shop where people are waiting two hours in line to go get a scoop of fucking ice cream. Apollo Bagels, which has again, a bagel in New York City, not the hardest thing to come across, has lines wrapped around the corner every day. And then there's like the class. It's obviously like cats deli. I'll even excuse in this comparison. But the easiest thing to point fingers at would be, would be the influencers themselves, those that do get paid, or the people that, you know, make a spot successful and it pops off. You have to go dying to try the new walk run, don't walk to the latest slice from the industry. It's like those kind of people are like the easy way to. The easy people to target and the easiest people to blame for this. But I do want to place a lot of blame on not blame. I also think there's blame to be put on the restaurants themselves. I think we're, we're pushing so much towards. It's causing like fake crowd swell and fake demand where we're pinching out businesses that aren't struggling or would be, you know, failing if it weren't for these specific places that are Popping up and creating this like, fake over demand for a bagel, which, like, creates this, like false. A false version of success. Because these are again, these are just like trends in TikTok. These are fleeting things that pass and go as the next restaurant opens, as the next bagel gets, you know, pressed out the, out the, the oven. Like, these things come and go. These tides change and move very fast. I see it. I live in a neighborhood where it seems like every other day there's a new business popping up with a line wrapped around the block. And then like three months time, a couple months time, those places are now dead and then they've been replaced by the new hot girl on the block. It's literally the music industry, but for restaurants. The thing I also want to discuss with this is this is really like commandeering how people are spending their free time with the lack of third spaces and the lack of places people go to just hang and kick it. Because again, the priority is always to be seen online and be doing the thing that's currently hot. People are giving up their free time to go stand in lines. And the moment of standing in line becomes that new community space, becomes that third space. And it's less again, about the bagel that you're going to get or the ice cream cone that you're going to get. It's about you physically occupying the same space as the other hundreds of people and the influencers that before you that paved the way that made this place what it is. And taking that same video, taking that, getting that same order, getting the, you know, in, in the most direct term, like the Hailey Bieber smoothie. Like we're literally naming the fucking thing after the celebrity where you feel like you are contributing to. It's. It's where you, where you're now involved in the society in which is deemed cool for that specific moment. It's so vapid. It's so. It's also just like incredibly misleading. And it's just this hive mentality. It's the same thing I was just discussing with the Drake and Kendrick fandom, with the Ice Cube thing in the comments. It's like stripping consumers of original thought and of free will and pushing them physically like cattle. I mean, you look at some of these places and there are ropes and securities, like herding these lines together. And you're seeing, you know, the same hundred people take the same photo of the, of the sign and, and these aren't people that are like, I'm visiting New York for the first time. I have to Try this. These are people that live here that call New York home. That you're foregoing like your favorite local coffee shop because this, this spot that some asshole on TikTok posted about, you know, got a million views. Now you have to throw away a Saturday afternoon in the summer to go get a fucking $12 latte. You're standing line for three hours to spend $12 on a fucking latte when you can go to your, to your spot around the corner or your fucking bodega and get the same shit for like 4 bucks. The other side of this too is just like the extreme like beige plain washing of cafes and new and new restaurants. There's no character, there's no wood, hardwood chairs, uneven, you know, tables and things that look like they just lived before. I, you know, Blank Street Coffee is a spot that I fucking vehemently hate. But they're, you know, the proprietor that have really like catapulted in terms of like popping up and successful. Successfully built something off of this. But I'm, I'm so sick of just like the smooth modernity of just like just nothing, no character. It's like a. Places look like permanent pop ups and they just have no soul. They're purely just profit driven. It's as if a bank literally like the Capital One Cafe. It's as if a bank just started opening up coffees just for the shit of it. Because the one, their one, you know, son enjoyed a latte in, in some family vacation and his lifelong mission was to open up a coffee shop. Like these places should not exist. We are killing originality. And they, and we're seeing it in, in architecture as well with these fucking disgusting slabs of concrete that are being passed as luxury buildings. Just these lame white boxes. You look like you live in an insane asylum. But because your view is of the east river of New York, it's considered luxury. Or you get like a decent city view. We excuse this for like a life of luxury when it's just, you know, four walls in a 6,000 month apartment, you know, whatever. I can go on and on about that, but yes, find. The point of this is to find local places. I accidentally cut the camera there. The point of this rant though is to just dig into local places, find places with soul. Do not let your algorithm dictate your taste. And that extends into music and food and coffee and culture, everything. I went to the Noguchi Museum, who's one of my favorite architecture and designers. He's Japanese. Incredible. The Guji Museum is in Queens. If you haven't gone go if you're local in New York and if you're visiting, you should also go. He's incredible. He was. I was reading about him designing in like the 30s and the 40s, and he collaborated on the Riverside park here. He designed a bunch of stuff all over New York City. But what's really impressive about him is he was doing all this when post Pearl harbor and while we were having Japanese, like, imprisonment camps in like, Arizona, he went to a camp with the hopes of changing, like, the vibe. Like, as any selfless artist would. He's like, maybe if I go, things will get better, bro. They locked his ass up and dogged him and treated him like every other Japanese person in that camp because they don't give a fuck. He was in there for six months. They fucking ruined him. I don't know how he got out. I've been meaning the research docs. I'm really curious as to how he got out. But. But this is someone that is so talented that he was designing New York City. He had his finger on the shared spaces, the third spaces of New York City. Speaking of third spaces, at the same time, anybody that looked like him or was his ethnicity, race was locked up, you know, in these, in these camps in the United States. Again, the. Another notch on the belt of talent outweighs morals. Well, I guess this isn't even morals, but talent, talent outweighs hate for a group. People will excuse you know what you look like if you're talented on that level. But yes, Noguchi designed a lot of parks in New York. He also designed amazing coffee tables, lights, chairs. The museum itself has a lot of sculptures of his made of all types of materials. Really interesting guy. Certainly worth, you know, doing some research on, but yeah, all right. Outside of that, I've been making a lot of Asian food. I bought squid, and I've been replicating some of my favorite dishes from restaurants, which is super exciting. I bought black sesame paste because I'm gonna start making black sesame lattes at home because my. One of my go to coffee shops stopped serving their black sesame latte, and I've been deprived of it and I want one so bad. So I'm gonna go home, make it myself. That's the other thing you can do, guys. Anything you love that you miss or you tried it and you're into it, you know, you can just make everything at home. I had like that weird moment where I was at this like, really nice wine bar and I was having a cheese plate and, you know, some Tapas and shit. And it was one of those places where it's a really small room, so the. The restroom is through the kitchen. So I walked through the kitchen. I always like to take a peek at, for starters, the level of cleanliness, who's handling what, and like, what products and foods do they have that they're using to cook? And I'm looking into like those small fridges where they store all their cheeses, their. The seaweed that they use for this specific sushi dish that you make, which I did have, which was delicious. And I'm looking at all these products, I'm like, this is all the shit that I get at like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. Like this. It's like that thought. It sounds so. It's like, no shit, Julian. But it's the thought that, oh yeah, even restaurants, grocery shop, like all these places just go to like your local grocery shop and get all the products for their restaurant. So then I thought to myself, yes, when I'm with company and I'm doing these things, it's nice to have like, you know, a table with six of my friends or playing cards, driving, wine. I get it in a social setting, it's cute. But I can also do this stuff at home. So then I did. I went to off of a meal that I had at a Korean restaurant. I went to H Mart. Shout out H Mart. If you're not familiar, don't live in New York. It's a Korean grocery store that sells super authentic stuff from Korea. It's incredible. And there, there's quite a few in the city. I love them. But I went there, bought some shit and just cooked it at home. And I was like, this is incredible. And I saved like 40 bucks. So. Yes, be active in third spaces. I went to a park in red today. Do shit like that, especially as the weather gets nice. And yeah, outside of that, try something new. Be nice to your neighbors. And I'm ready for Iceman. And we'll keep. We'll keep rocking here, guys. I appreciate you all. Thank you and have a beautiful week. Peace.
