"I don't believe in spending racks on nylon."
Kari from 12 Hub on Balenciaga bombers: Nylon is synthetic. It's not like leather. "It can only be so good." Save your money. Get a vintage Alpha Industries and size up instead. π§₯πΈ

"I know I made comments about how you're an abject failure... Congratulations, I was wrong." H apologizes to Sydney Sweeney. She has the biggest movie in the country and a new lingerie line. "She moves with the moment." Just like A$AP Rocky. #SydneySweeney#ASAPRocky
"They're filling it up with associated bulls***." Octavion & H on the Epstein files: Why are Pusha T & Jay-Z named? Because they campaigned for Hillary. "Trump is the most spiteful piece of s***... if he hears this he's gonna try to get back at me." #Epstein#Trump
"Your label gave me $30,000 to talk positively about your album."
Octavion & H react to DJ Akademiks exposing his own payola deal with Lil Baby. "He's exposing himself as a piece of sh*t." Pay for exposure? Sure. Pay for opinions? ποΈ

"2013 is when he caught this unknown STD... and offered $100K for a next-gen condom."
Octavion & H break down the Bill Gates allegations. Allegedly begging Epstein for antibiotics while funding condom research? #AffiliationPodcast#BillGates#Epstein
"Creatives are broke so it doesn't really matter."
Octavion on AI in music: It's just a "lick." Instead of feeding 15 people (writers, engineers), one guy with AI takes it all. "I don't see anything wrong from a business standpoint." ππ€

"Don't market your music. Market yourself." H on why artists fail on social media: Fans want the backstory. "Who are you dating? What did you eat? What shoes are you wearing?" The music is just the hook. Your personality is the product. #MusicMarketing#IndieArtist#NoCoolPoints
"You should not be talking to anyone about anything if you do not have leverage. Full stop."
Octavion on the Affiliation Podcast: If you sign a deal for the co-sign, don't cry when they win.
"They can only get away with what you allow them to." π

"Her audience is not young girls. It is men aged 13 to 50." The Affiliation crew says Sydney Sweeney's marketing is broken. Instead of influencers, she should've told Zion Williamson: "Go see my movie and we'll go on a date." Lean into the thirst. #SydneySweeney#Zion#Marketing
"It is because of Akademiks that people even care about the numbers." π The Affiliation crew says YouTubers replaced traditional media. Ak taught the culture about bundles and first-week sales. "He gets on stream drunk at 4, clips out by 8." Speed wins. π₯ #DJAkademiks#Media
"Hollywood wanted to invest in her as a superstar talent when she really wasn't that."
The Affiliation crew argues Sydney Sweeney's fame is almost entirely due to Euphoria nudity.
"She became ultra popular off of one thing: her body." ππ¬

"I don't even know what snitching is anymore 'cause of the internet." π The crew says 21 Savage's new album is a strategic move to position himself as the "mediator" of hip-hop beefs (Drake/Kendrick, Gunna/Thug). He's trying to reclaim the "Street" algorithm. #21Savage#HipHop
"Back to Back is better than Not Like Us." οΏ½οΏ½ The Affiliation crew argues the industry "bent the rules" to play Kendrick on radio. "It's a record talking about pedophiles... none of this fits radio." But The Weeknd is outstreaming both. "Fighting over crumbs." π #Drake #Kendrick
"Do you blame the stitches or the knife?" πͺ Octavion defends Spotify: "We cannot be mad at Spotify for fixing a problem someone else created." Hackers killed music first. Spotify is just the nurse stitching up the wound. Blame the guy who stabbed you, not the cure. #Spotify
"Drake needs to be careful? No, Ebro needs to shut the f*** up."
The Affiliation crew reacts to Drake telling Ebro to "die slow."
"Was he talking to Jay-Z like that when Jay was at the club at 5am?"
Ebro is just a hater. π
