Speaker 1: Is he better than the other guy that did that song?
Speaker 1: Re saying he's like that he had that boody hot
Speaker 1: song right now. He's vocalistic, vocalistic, way different vibe, way
Speaker 1: different vibe, way different. But I mean Casper does he does.
Speaker 1: I'm a piano too, but he's a rapper, so he does,
Speaker 1: and then he's a I don't know how to explain it. Casper.
Speaker 1: Casper has performed on like sold out stadiums on his
Speaker 1: own seventy thousand people. Yeah. Everyone I'm mentioning is like
Speaker 1: done something pretty pretty? Um? Yeah, all of them? Because
Speaker 1: I mean you name those top three, I gotta think
Speaker 1: I'd come out of those top three between the video
Speaker 1: Whiskid Burnable it you think those are the top three
Speaker 1: after beat because they're definitely on the worldwide. I would
Speaker 1: have to say that. Then Brennard just got really I
Speaker 1: guess when nominated. He went a Grammy that she got
Speaker 1: nominated one time and then she would finally wanted. Yeah
Speaker 1: he did win it this ship, right he won? He
Speaker 1: didn't win, Okay, So between Brenda Boy, David and whist Kid,
Speaker 1: those are the top three. I mean, did don't make
Speaker 1: a song every hour. He's probably making a song right now.
Speaker 1: You know. Brenda Boy I think came from like underground,
Speaker 1: and then Bull made his way to the top, and
Speaker 1: then whiz Kid has just like I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: he has just I mean, right now, let's narrow it down.
Speaker 1: Let's just narrow it down. It's down to three, down
Speaker 1: to two. So let's let's take DAVIDO out. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be started the movement. Well, I mean no, well, no, no,
Speaker 1: stay out of this one because I don't I don't want,
Speaker 1: I don't want all right, so let's let's let's try
Speaker 1: to faked. Now. We got the yeah, we got Whiskid
Speaker 1: and the body song, right how the song the body,
Speaker 1: my body whatever? With the song is with Thames. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna going back to what that's the biggest song right now? Honestly,
Speaker 1: like that that really is in the song of the moment.
Speaker 1: So if you want to talk about what's the biggest
Speaker 1: right now, it's Whiski period two years years, last year
Speaker 1: it was Berna. Right now, it's Wi. The year before
Speaker 1: that it was David because remember David had and then
Speaker 1: after that it was Berna because he had Yea and
Speaker 1: everything else. And then now it's definitely back to Whisky.
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see who's next. But I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I'm going back to the big because afrobeaks to me,
Speaker 1: you know, especially being introduced to like America. It just
Speaker 1: happened in last five years. You had a lot to
Speaker 1: do with it too. I mean I've played it and
Speaker 1: I showed love to Way. But between Joanna and if
Speaker 1: I think those were like those were they were competing, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, because any not right now, if you're going
Speaker 1: to any club, any hip hop club, they played Jouanna
Speaker 1: no Joanna. If those I think those two songs made
Speaker 1: the breakout. Those two songs are probably the most problem
Speaker 1: be blew it up. But right now, like this this
Speaker 1: new song right now, this new one with Times is
Speaker 1: definitely the biggest with whisky. Yeah, definitely, of course. And
Speaker 1: it was so hot that of course just got on
Speaker 1: the remix and it remixing got on remix. What did
Speaker 1: What did you think about the song? The remix with
Speaker 1: Justin Do you like his verse? You know, I like it.
Speaker 1: I've never I've never really cared about Justin b Well,
Speaker 1: I heard it. How do you feel about it? You
Speaker 1: like it? Okay? It kind of introduced the a lot
Speaker 1: of the other race because Justin gunn in bowl. See,
Speaker 1: it just helps the It reminds me of the reggae
Speaker 1: back in the nineties. Yeah, that happy vibe. It's a
Speaker 1: very peaceful place everything. I mean, I think I think
Speaker 1: what it is is like you know a lot of
Speaker 1: African music. I don't want to call it like escapism,
Speaker 1: but we like we need to escape our problems with music.
Speaker 1: We need something to make us dance. We needed something
Speaker 1: that we forget about what you're going through and just
Speaker 1: come dance. That's the vibe. So that's the reason why
Speaker 1: you know, people don't really think about the Africias bestairs.
Speaker 1: Even there's a few songs that talk about the struggles
Speaker 1: like the one Techno did with the Another Month but
Speaker 1: whatever anyway, but I feel like whatever the just like
Speaker 1: what Nira did with the with that song, doing that,
Speaker 1: that whole thing with Nigerians going right. But even so
Speaker 1: it's still up Temple. You'll still be dancing. You'll read
Speaker 1: dancing too your that's not political or even if you
Speaker 1: go far back, it's like Fella Cutie right, he was
Speaker 1: making politically, but you still definitely dance like that. Mike Duhy,
Speaker 1: he made one It's called nothing. I was talking about, dick, motherfucker. Mike,
Speaker 1: I thought you were talking about. Used to play with
