Pretty eventful fucking weekend.

Indeed. That was like eventful, especially with Jay Cole coming out of nowhere too. I don't even know, man. Honestly, like I'm kind of happy the Rocky season's over because now it's like we could dedicate our energy to Cole. Yeah, and I feel like it already shifted. Like once Cole's announcement came out, like all the hype just instantly shifted. I've been seeing a lot of hype for this Rocky album. There has been. Yeah, for a lot of great reception. But now it's like, it's time for the big dog. I'm lucky sad that this is happening in a sense, though. Like, this does feel like it's going to be the last album for a long time. No, I have a take. I have a take. I have a big take here. Let's hear it. I think this is going to open up the floodgates for him to release more music actually.

Who? last album for a long time. No, I have a take. I have a take. I have a big take here. Let's hear it. I think this is going to open up the floodgates for him to release more music actually. Who, Cole? Yeah, I think Cole after the fall off. Like, I think what you could probably expect from him is maybe stuff that's like looser brolic and he's hinted at it and like the inevitable podcast stuff that like doesn't feel like as grand as a falloff or a 2014. shit that's more experimental maybe the only thing is i don't know i feel like he wants to go into that jz mogul

era now or you could just fucking kickback develop his artist see it might take is the opposite

of yours i think he's going to vanish like maybe you'll see him like on features maybe

a dreamville tape but in terms of like cold music no bro. Bro, he's probably going to live, like, his best, like, Andre 3K life. Like, just fucking show up to, like, pop out in Denver randomly with a flute or something, bro, and just like live life. On a bike with a flute on the bike at the same time. I don't know. I think a guy that that's a good, that's that competitive, excuse me, and someone that likes the

sport that much is always going to kind of be in practice. I don't think it's going to be as

much as like this now, right? Where it's full-blown cinematic rollout 2026 mode. He's going to do a

tour after this for sure. He always tours after an album. So he has a lot of work cut out ahead of him even after this album so i don't think it's like okay now i'm going to wait my hands and we're gone but he's been like taking steps back i feel like right like even him no longer wanting to do like the dreamville fest true like that was another big sign of like okay like he really wants to take some back. I think he had no choice but to do that because even from a festival perspective,

there's only so much you could do, let's say, with J. Cole always as the headline.

That shit is selling out year after year, bro.

You see, I disagree.

Jay Cole could be 45 still dropping albums.

People are showing up.

And it'll even be the same people that are just rebinding.

I would fucking do it.

We're going to go. I think if we do a rebranded one and it's organized by the same guys, like for sure, we'll go and we'll go out and support to our thing there. But I feel that's the rumor, right? Like Cole did say that the Dreamville Fest would come back in another form slash entity. Yeah, rebrand. And it'll probably still be a lot of the same artist, maybe just not Cole as the headliner.

But Cole's going to pop out for like a surprise. Especially with a falloff coming, like close to when the Dreamville Fest usually happened. Like that was one thing. I'm surprised. I'm like, why wouldn't you make the last appearance for the falloff year, you know? Anyways, we'll see what ends up happening. I think it was sick the way that he did it last year, especially playing all of the mix tape cuts, excuse me. That was my favorite set of his, by the way, out of all the ones that we got to see. It's like, if you know, you know, type set. Like, when he was playing sideline story and some shit, like, I was kind of like, whoa, like this is a this is an opportunity to see these songs played

live because it's probably the last time he'll ever play in front of this crowd you know so

that's great but going back to the whole rebranding of the Dreamville fest after the falloff

era I think it's smart for them to do that because now for example look at an Oceaga and the type of

like crowd they attract or a governor's ball like with Dreamville
