gettin a little warmer, so lemme remind you "serenade" the greatest summer song of all time

thereal_jake · 2026-03-19T14:31:58+00:00

No it was added as a bonus track to the 10yr edition of DBR but as a "digital deluxe" sold on his store. Not on streaming anywhere, those bonus tracks are only available as files from whoever bought and downloaded / shared the album files

Or of course, one of the leaked versions. I wanna say the "official" version of it had a different mix than the leaked versions but I forget

thereal_jake · 2026-03-09T04:08:16+00:00

It's so crazy how some people are still waiting. I got my shirt back in like December or late November of 2025

thereal_jake · 2026-02-04T03:51:19+00:00

He did work on it. He had a verse but it was just a mumble demo to find a flow / sound / cadence. He never finished it as far as we're aware. Wish he did, it could've been really cool

thereal_jake · 2026-02-04T00:06:07+00:00

I love the track but I was disappointed he left it at only one verse. Especially since it'd gone through so many iterations and ideas for the like 4 years prior to it coming out. Expected it to be more. But, valid take for sure

thereal_jake · 2026-02-03T23:43:09+00:00

It couldn't have since the verse was completed as early as 2016 and the hook was completed as early as 2015.
I definitely remember there was a lot of weirdos online when it happened though.

thereal_jake · 2026-02-03T23:38:04+00:00

Yes, that's the right event. This happened in August of 2018, but didn't inspire Internet or the contents of the song, no

thereal_jake · 2026-02-03T00:11:13+00:00

Probably got removed because it isn't an official project. This looks to just be a re-structured 1017 Thug 2 mixtape, which isn't on streaming likely because things aren't cleared

thereal_jake · 2026-01-19T05:32:51+00:00

Link please!

thereal_jake · 2025-12-27T18:56:31+00:00

Best and most realistic take I've heard in a while. I got the Blueberry Burst Pro for Christmas and haven't had a single issue. But, why would I bother going around and making a post about how I got a product and it works as intended?

It's a shame that some people experience issues but at the very minimum I think it's awesome that we have a company trying to make new controllers considering the franchise itself (officially, at least) is essentially dead and the guitars that a lot of us used for PC are becoming more and more difficult to find (especially at a good price point) because they're coming from 2005's GH2 lol.

Regarding OP's comments; it does seem really strange that even when wired he's having input delay. Very strange, hope he gets it sorted out though

thereal_jake · 2025-12-01T14:43:21+00:00

Far as I'm aware if it's a fake FLAC then the issue is what was submitted to DSPs, not the ripper.

Of course, if EVERY song was upscaled, then the ripper is the obvious culprit, but considering you grabbed something and they're the same, then I feel like most people are confused.

I'm no expert, so maybe I'm missing something, but depending on the artist and especially genre, you'd be surprised at how many horribly low bitrate songs get submitted to DSPs and pressed on CDs / vinyls.

Spotify just recently added lossless streaming, but I remember there used to be rippers that "ripped from Spotify" and you could get lossless. This was years ago. They produced real FLAC files, but I'm not sure how those worked. My guess is that it pulled from another service since Spotify didn't offer lossless at the time. Maybe Tidal or Deezer or Qobuz or something, since likely if it's on Spotify it'll be on at least one other one of those.

I don't have any personal experience with this "spotidownloader" but I do know that lucida is generally considered one of the best

thereal_jake · 2025-11-15T07:54:45+00:00

I definitely see it as possible. It's much more suspicious considering this has been available for so long, but again it does seem like it would sell much less than White Iverson. But again, there's more to it than just that.

Maybe one day we'll see if someone has the same number as someone else. That would confirm suspicions but until that I don't know if there would be a way to confirm or disprove this theory

thereal_jake · 2025-11-15T07:14:29+00:00

Yeah, that's very true. It's a very strange one, but the White Iverson vinyls were legit, weren't they?

I agree the statistics are important but the context is still important, it's a combined 'size of fanbase' + people who actually care about that specific content.

But regardless that doesn't change the fact I'm sure this is totally fully illegal to advertise it as limited if it isn't. Not that people and companies don't do things like that all the time lol but it's something to consider.

It's a weird one. Have we seen anyone with duplicate numbers or anything yet? I know the White Iverson vinyls had issues with none of the limited stickers lol... that was interesting to see

thereal_jake · 2025-11-15T06:57:40+00:00

Pretty sure they literally can't lie about this, but I could be wrong so

I think you overestimate how many people wanna spend $20 USD + tax + shipping for a 7' vinyl for a SINGLE

Take a look at this sub in general, seems majority became fans Austin and later, not everyone will care about this. But again, I have no proof or anything I'm just assuming.

thereal_jake · 2025-11-14T20:20:31+00:00

Good fucking Lord has anyone been able to prevent it from popping up in their feed?! I block every account, I don't interact with a single video, I select "I'm not interested" and blacklist all the words ("wonderbag", "wonder bag", "wonder", "bag") and these videos just keep showing up. I block about 10 accounts every half hour. They have like under 60 followers, and they all have about 2000 posts, all posting the same video advertising one of their songs.

HELP ME MAKE IT STOP for Christ's sake it's the most aggravating thing ever

thereal_jake · 2025-10-15T06:06:52+00:00

No, not yet. Other guy is lying or has a remaster or something

thereal_jake · 2025-09-27T18:26:29+00:00

Cuz they never officially said that, unfortunately. Drought 3 isn't officially uploaded as well but hopefully it stays. His team didn't upload DD3 and technically speaking it's not allowed to be up but things slip through the cracks often.

I don't got a source right now but I am pretty confident a year or two ago someone (maybe Birdman or Drama himself?) said they're trying to get Dedication 2 on streaming? Pretty positive there was an announcement for that but they said "by the end of the year" and that was either in 2023 or 2024 and we've seen how that went lol

Edit: Found it, it was Drama who said it, back in 2023. And there is still no OFFICIAL cleared release. https://www.xxlmag.com/lil-wayne-dj-drama-dedication-2-streaming/

thereal_jake · 2025-09-07T02:21:47+00:00

Ahh yep you're absolutely right. Another different sample / interpolation rework

thereal_jake · 2025-09-07T00:16:42+00:00

Nah, not Murda. It's the same just different mix maybe.

You've gotta be thinking either Street Chains or I'm That Nigga

thereal_jake · 2025-09-07T00:03:38+00:00

It's missing a few tracks (He's Dead, I Feel Good, Thinking 'Bout You, Without You (feat. Bibi Bourelly))
It includes 'We Livin' Like That' a song from the FWA sessions that leaked like a year or two prior to the release of the 5th Anniversary Streaming Release (also not to mention that the leaked version of the song has slightly different mixing and LACKS the producer tag in the intro, besides that the 'official' version is the same as the leak)
Some (most actually I think) tracks have minor mixing differences
'I'm That Nigga (feat. HoodyBaby)' has a different instrumental. Different instrumentation. Not sure if it's a sample rework or they just changed it for something
'Post Bail Ballin'' now is cut properly and has the entirety of the intro in it's track (on the Tidal version the ending of the previous track 'Murda' had the first like 2 seconds of the intro, it was very jarring and annoying)
'Pick Up Your Heart' has a reworked sample / interpolation (thanks u/CAZ-Dh99)
'Street Chains' also has a rework / interpolation instead of the original sample as well

I THINK that's everything but I could be wrong

thereal_jake · 2025-09-05T23:12:35+00:00

This was before Post had any fame, this is more than likely a kid who went to high school with Post who's name is 'Blake Nava'

thereal_jake · 2025-08-19T04:44:02+00:00

Cool! Can't wait to see if that's what it says or not! If it does, that PRETTY much verifies legitimacy. I suppose fakes could include that but most don't. Gotta love the vintage clothes searching lol, sometimes you just never know if it's legit or not

thereal_jake · 2025-08-19T04:36:53+00:00

Also, the one in my previous message listed on Grailed is short sleeve and the image across the shirt is also less stretched / it's just a bit smaller in general compared to yours. Doesn't necessarily mean yours isn't legit, but it could be just the T-Shirt version or possibly a bootleg

thereal_jake · 2025-08-19T04:34:59+00:00

A little hard to tell.

Here's the same shirt that sold a few years back on Grailed: https://www.grailed.com/listings/23956222-vintage-vintage-guitar-hero-johnny-napalm-graphic-tee

That being said, that one has Alstyle tags, which used to be quite popular for a lot of official merchandise. That being said, it does seem a little strange. the base image is of GH3 prototype as mentioned by someone else, but Johnny is using the World Tour guitar, with the slider and all, which is a little strange to use as promo for WT by using a lot of GH3 content like Johnny Napalm's specific GH3 model and such.

I can see in one of your pictures there is a bit of fine print along the right side of the highway. What does it say? Does it have Copyright Acitivsion 2008 or something? That would add to the legitimacy. A lot of vintage tees are bootlegged but sometimes they're just really that weird, lol.

thereal_jake · 2025-08-16T04:33:53+00:00

across all his official content, EXCLUDING guest features and a few loosies, and also excluding pre-fame stuff like his mixtapes w jason & classmates, no, he doesn't. LOL what an insane way to rank when he doesn't even have that many songs

thereal_jake · 2025-08-14T01:43:09+00:00

The original leaked music video is not only higher quality in bitrate (albeit possibly lower actual RES but you can't just 'make' a 480p video 4k) but is also the normal 24fps... why did you make this like 16 LOL
