[0:16 - 0:30] Post in the comments if you guys can hear me okay? I need to know. Can you guys hear me okay? Why can you guys hear me? Post in the comments. Let me know.
[0:30 - 1:04] [Silence]
[1:04 - 1:11] Yo shop, can you hear me? Can you guys hear me shop? Are we good?
[1:11 - 1:16] [Silence]
[1:16 - 1:17] Alright cool.
[1:17 - 1:23] [Silence]
[1:23 - 1:39] Alright so first off, to everybody that's been supporting me all these years throughout my music career, I want to say thank you guys first off.
[1:39 - 1:51] For all you guys that have been with me through the ups, the downs, the highs, the lows, the good shit, the bad shit, and everything in between, I want to say I appreciate you guys.
[1:51 - 1:53] I really do.
[1:53 - 2:05] [Silence]
[2:05 - 2:23] Hey shop, shout out to you my friend. But, you know, there's been a lot that's gone down over the last 10 years.
[2:23 - 2:34] And I wanted to give back to you guys in a really huge way. If you guys are willing to help out, I'm willing to give back to you guys in a very, very big way.
[2:34 - 2:43] How many of you guys in the comments would like to see me start doing physical copies of my albums?
[2:43 - 2:48] Like how many of you guys would like to see me start doing physical copies of albums?
[2:48 - 2:54] [Silence]
[2:54 - 3:04] Hey stretch, how long now?
[3:04 - 3:18] [Silence]
[3:18 - 3:26] Hold on guys, I'll be right back here in just one second.
[3:26 - 4:23] [Silence]
[4:23 - 4:33] Certainly, I've had to grab my meds to help take the edge off of the baby from the, from the eggs well, that would be all I want.
[4:33 - 4:52] [Silence]
[4:52 - 5:00] Yo, Barbara, what's up my meds?
[5:00 - 5:08] Yo, Connor, congrats to you, man. Super congrats to you, Connor. I'm happy for you, bro.
[5:08 - 5:19] I wish you and your sympathy wife all the best, my man.
[5:19 - 5:29] Yo, Barbara, what's up my man? What's good, bro?
[5:29 - 5:37] His dial is 4K common order, no I don't.
[5:37 - 5:54] Yo, Irish Jewel, what's up, man? What y'all saying, man?
[5:54 - 6:18] How many of you guys, honestly, like how many of you guys would like to see me give back to you guys by doing both physical and digital copies of all my albums across all platforms all over the world?
[6:18 - 6:25] Well, I'm not monetized because I'm dealing with some fucking bullshit due to the trolls.
[6:25 - 6:31] I'm dealing with a lot of garbage because of them.
[6:31 - 6:37] Because of the trolls, I have a strike on my channel, so I have to wait 90 days for that to go away.
[6:37 - 6:50] And then once that 90 days is up, then I can monetize.
[6:50 - 6:53] We need a bar, a van, and a wedding.
[6:53 - 7:10] I don't know any of my friends. I'm not in a van myself, but I'm pretty sure I can ask around. I'll definitely ask around for you to see if I have any friends that are still in the area that are still in the van.
[7:10 - 7:14] So don't worry, man. I'll definitely keep an eye out for you.
[7:14 - 7:24] I said I'm not in one personally, but I'll definitely ask around for you, man. Because if I know any of my friends, some of them might still be around.
[7:24 - 7:30] I don't know, but I'll definitely ask for you, Connor, for sure. I got you, man.
[7:30 - 7:40] And again, Connor, congrats to you, my dude. I'm super happy for you and your fiance, AKA your soon-to-be wife and/or husband.
[7:40 - 7:45] I don't know. I can't say. I don't know if you're gay or straight, so I don't know.
[7:45 - 8:00] But either way, man, congrats to you, man. I'm super happy for you, dude. Straight up.
[8:00 - 8:08] Yo, Sam, what up?
[8:08 - 8:14] All right, so I got a deal for everybody here.
[8:14 - 8:29] If you guys can help me get the $25 together to start releasing physical and digital copies through CD Baby, I can promise you guys that from now on,
[8:29 - 8:41] all albums will be dropped through CD Baby in both physical and digital on all major platforms.
[8:41 - 8:52] Yo, B.J., if you got anything to send over, man, I'm always down to class.
[8:52 - 8:59] Dude, I'm straight as fuck, man. I am straight.
[8:59 - 9:28] I'm straight as a fucking arrow, my man. And I already know that straight as an arrow joke. I already know that one, so don't even try it. Go on, give this one to y'all.
[9:28 - 9:57] Oh, damn. Sorry, all that damn dead skin on my back, man. This shit is just like a motherfucker.
[9:57 - 10:07] The last segment, I can promise you guys that if you guys can help me get together $25, I'll start doing physical copies for you guys.
[10:07 - 10:15] Because I know when my album was Shadowborn released, you guys were super hyped for it. You guys absolutely loved it.
[10:15 - 10:26] You guys absolutely crushed it with Shadowborn, man. We've only got like, let's see, out of like 30 copies, I think there's only like 10 or 12 left.
[10:26 - 10:40] Like, you guys absolutely fucking crushed it with Shadowborn. Like, you guys fucking nailed that shit.
[10:40 - 10:50] Like, you guys absolutely crushed it with Shadowborn, man. You guys absolutely loved that one. I had fun making that one, not gonna lie.
[10:50 - 10:59] Shadowborn was one of my personal favorites to do because I really got to sneak my mind on that one.
[10:59 - 11:19] I really got to go into detail and really show you guys, you know, what it's like to deal with depression and, you know, what people like me deal with on, you know, a daily basis
[11:19 - 11:35] due to the depression that we deal with. So, for me, that album was actually probably one of my most important albums that I've ever done.
[11:35 - 11:47] Actually, you'd be surprised, Makita. You would actually be very surprised. A lot of people do still do physical albums. A lot of people actually do do physical albums still.
[11:47 - 12:03] That's still a thing, surprisingly. You can ask anybody that's in music help. You can even ask Tom McDonald himself. Tom McDonald's been doing physical albums since day one, and he still does very well.
[12:03 - 12:14] My good friends over at Red Ton One Music Group still do physical albums, and they do very, very well, quite well, as a matter of fact.
[12:14 - 12:24] As a matter of fact, it has been a proven fact that physical copies do way better than digital. Way better.
[12:24 - 12:46] Okay. What does having a driver's license have to do with selling music? And does that have nothing to do with each other at all?
[12:46 - 13:08] Like, those have nothing to do with each other. So, let's get back on topic here, shall we?
[13:08 - 13:29] A matter of fact, weren't you hidden already, Makita? A matter of fact, Makita, weren't you already hidden once already? Bye-bye.
[13:29 - 13:46] Merry Christmas, guys. Even though it's not Christmas yet, Merry Christmas to you guys out there. Or, as me and my teammates always say, from my brothers Ethan and Rick, as we always say every year.
[13:46 - 14:01] So, all my drifters out there, you guys will know this. To anybody out there that does follow drifting, or to those of you that do drift in general, you guys will know this.
[14:01 - 14:09] Merry Driftmas and a Happy New Year to all my drifters out there, man. Hope you all are staying sideways and staying safe.
[14:09 - 14:20] Set you on the black guys out there. I know that shit can get really nasty during the winter. I've seen a lot of bad shit come down there during the wintertime, man. Not even kidding.
[14:20 - 14:31] Yo, Tiff in the city. Tiff, what up? Tiff, how you doing, girl?
[14:31 - 14:54] Favorite movie of all time? Personally, for me, I would have to say Bennet's War. That's literally B-E-N-E-T-T-S, War. Very good movie. If you've not seen Bennet's War yet, dude, fucking watch it. I can promise you, you will not fucking regret it.
[14:54 - 15:04] That movie is hands down one of my top favorite movies of all time.
[15:04 - 15:16] Dude, you did not pay me for shit.
[15:16 - 15:28] I love how people always try to say, "Oh, I bought artwork, but you never did this." No, you never bought any artwork, dude.
[15:28 - 15:43] I love when people try to say that shit. It's honestly funny to me because they know they didn't. They know damn well they didn't. They're just trying to run their mouths.
[15:43 - 15:49] Dude, there's really not much to my room, literally. This is literally my room.
[15:49 - 16:13] Closet, bag, dresser, guitar back from my busted-up acoustic guitar with my brother Jake and his skull on, music plaque from me from my first CD, classic Showa-era Panasonic Speed Division TV with Model T Ford and guitar pick and assorted other shit.
[16:13 - 16:23] And then, really, just over here, just assorted bullshit. Like, you got my guitar and all that shit, and then, yeah.
[16:23 - 16:32] So, whoa, go to that shit.
[16:32 - 16:36] Oh, no, guys, I'm trying to get y'all out. Give me a sec.
[16:36 - 16:55] Sorry, I didn't mean to drop you. My bad.
[16:55 - 17:07] Didn't mean to drop you. Sorry.
[17:07 - 17:11] Hey, hey, Barbary, I appreciate that, man.
[17:11 - 17:23] But in all honesty, man, if you guys would actually like to see me release physical copies of my albums, man,
[17:23 - 17:37] like, if you guys can help me raise up $25, if you guys can actually help me raise up $25, I'll do the physical copies for you guys.
[17:37 - 17:59] And if anybody needs my cash app or my PayPal, I will post those right now.
[17:59 - 18:15] It's not that comfortable, yeah.
[18:15 - 18:44] I'm posting out the info right now. Wrong symbol, dumbass moon. And then here is the cash of the PayPal.
[18:44 - 18:53] So, you guys, what do I have to donate? The top one is my cash app. The Cyrax official is my cash app,
[18:53 - 19:10] and my PayPal is XK Productions. So, there you guys go.
[19:10 - 19:17] So, like I said, man, you guys have been fucking awesome, man. Like, these last 10 years, for those of you that have been around that long,
[19:17 - 19:23] you guys have been fucking dope. You guys have been awesome.
[19:23 - 19:38] And I can't thank you guys enough, man. Like, for all y'all that have been around for that long, you guys are fucking badass, motherfuckers.
[19:38 - 19:46] That's $25, not $2,500. That's insane.
[19:46 - 19:54] Wait a minute, I got this for Christmas one year, like 12 years ago.
[19:54 - 20:01] This actually is from a cosplay that I did.
[20:01 - 20:08] I played cosplay as Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist back when I actually had hair on my head.
[20:08 - 20:19] So, that's kind of from, as you can tell, it's kind of faded and kind of turned blue, but hey, it works.
[20:19 - 20:26] Bro, I ain't got a chance. It's just literally a necklace that my brother Jake made with a bunch of stuff that the fans gave me.
[20:26 - 20:32] That's all this is, man, just a necklace that my brother Jake made with a bunch of stuff from the fans on it.
[20:32 - 20:45] So, for all y'all wondering what I did with y'all's trinkets from y'all's fans, right here, baby.
[20:45 - 21:03] I always got to keep the fans with you, man. Always. I keep y'all real fans. I keep y'all motherfuckers with me right here, man. Always.
[21:03 - 21:16] And yes, I even got a matching bracelet that my brother Jake made on top of that, which is basically the same thing as the necklace, but in bracelet form.
[21:16 - 21:20] And then, obviously, I got the fan made.
[21:20 - 21:38] And, obviously, I got the corn bracelet right there, repping that corn lace, as always. Got to rep corn, man. Can't say no to them.
[21:38 - 21:50] Oh, you're just seeing that orange light in the back. That's just the fucking street lamp.
[21:50 - 21:58] Hey, "Shoots and Ladders" is a good-ass fucking song, dude. "Shoots and Ladders" is the fucking shit.
[21:58 - 22:15] Yeah, check out "WWU Championship" on Saturday. You talking about "War Games" on Saturday? Yes, I fucking did. "War Games" was the shit.
[22:15 - 22:36] I would have to take it up and find it, but as soon as I could find my Spotify, bro, I got you.
[22:36 - 22:58] But I do have something for you guys that is a song that I have not done on this channel before that's actually done by a very good friend of mine.
[22:58 - 23:07] And in case you guys are wondering, did I play the brand new "Gun Grave Gore"? Your answer to that is yes, I did.
[23:07 - 23:21] I love "Gun Grave Gore". I'm about maybe a quarter of the way through it, not even like halfway yet, but dude, absolutely love that game. Super fun.
[23:22 - 23:25] That's it.
[23:25 - 23:54] (inaudible)
[23:54 - 24:13] Now this dude that I'm about to do for you guys is actually a very good friend of mine. I'm the only guy for God going on like 11, maybe 12 years now.
[24:13 - 24:19] I'm going to be doing the two songs that he has. The first one is called "Disease". And this is for all y'all, man.
[24:19 - 24:27] Is that about mistaken? No, no, no, that's for "Disease". You're going to hear...
[24:27 - 24:32] (inaudible)
[24:32 - 24:46] It would have been perfect if you didn't laugh. Beat that.
[24:47 - 27:50] (inaudible)
[27:50 - 28:02] Now this next one for you guys, this is going out to anybody out there that is like I used to be and feel as lost in whatever you guys are going through, man.
[28:02 - 28:15] This song is called "Machine". And if you guys are always waking up every day feeling like you're a robotic machine or like you want to get out of that shit, this is for you.
[28:16 - 33:39] (inaudible)
[33:39 - 33:57] Now I have just one question for everybody here, man. How many of you honestly in the comments, honestly, I want you guys to be honest with me.
[33:57 - 34:10] How many of you guys in the comments have ever felt like, have ever felt like you've been stuck to an addiction or something that you've tried to get away from and you can't?
[34:10 - 34:23] Whether that addiction be, you know, alcohol, being addicted to a toxic relationship or whatever that thing might be, how many of you guys have actually been there like I have?
[34:23 - 34:36] (inaudible)
[34:36 - 34:52] Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of coffee in the morning motherfucker.
[34:52 - 34:56] Oh, fool. Congratulations, man. I'm happy for you, man.
[34:56 - 35:22] So, fool, if I know just like me, because I tell you something, man, something that not a lot of people know about me, something that not a lot of people actually know about me is when I was in an abusive relationship many years ago, and I mean many years ago,
[35:22 - 35:34] at one point, it got to the point to where I became addicted to the abuse because back then, I felt that that's all I really deserved.
[35:34 - 35:48] I began to believe all the negative that was going on. I began to become addicted to the negativity.
[35:48 - 35:56] Now, let me tell you something. Me getting away from that addiction was the best thing I could have ever done for myself.
[35:56 - 36:14] Getting away from that abusive relationship is the best thing I could have ever done for myself, my friends, and more importantly, my family.
[36:14 - 36:23] So, this song is going out to anybody out there that's been in that position or currently is in that position.
[36:23 - 36:28] This song is called "Are You Listening?" by my good friends on the band Wake Me.
[36:28 - 36:34] Shout out to Wake Me. What's up, guys? We had talked a while. We need to catch up, motherfuckers. It's been a while, so hit me up.
[36:34 - 36:42] Y'all got my motherfucking Instagram. Y'all know where I'm at. Hit me up, fuckers. Fuckin' love you, guys.
[36:42 - 37:24] (birds chirping)
[37:24 - 37:31] ? Are you listening? I'm surrounded ?
[37:31 - 37:35] ? Just following an empty town ?
[37:35 - 37:39] ? Are you listening? ?
[37:39 - 38:07] (birds chirping)
[38:07 - 38:12] ? Strong as you see them becoming numb ?
[38:12 - 38:15] ? It's a thing that I'm tired of ?
[38:15 - 38:19] ? Time and time again ?
[38:19 - 38:25] ? Are you listening? I'm surrounded ?
[38:25 - 38:29] ? Just following an empty town ?
[38:29 - 38:36] ? Are you listening? I'm surrounded ?
[38:36 - 38:40] ? You only want to be entitled ?
[38:40 - 38:54] ? Are you listening? I'm surrounded ?
[38:54 - 39:12] ? I'm surrounded, I'm surrounded ?
[39:12 - 39:25] ? Through it all before I close my eyes ?
[39:25 - 39:30] ? Are you listening? I'm surrounded ?
[39:30 - 39:43] ? Just following an empty town ?
[39:43 - 40:09] ? Strong as you see them becoming numb ?
[40:09 - 40:14] ? I'm gonna change, gonna change ?
[40:14 - 40:23] ? Like where I'm gonna change ?
[40:23 - 40:30] ? Are you listening? I'm surrounded ?
[40:30 - 40:44] ? You only want to be entitled ?
[40:44 - 42:31] ? Are you listening? I'm surrounded ?
[42:31 - 43:00] Now I do have one very important question for mostly the people that know me personally.
[43:00 - 43:17] How many of you guys here in general, and it doesn't matter whether you're a man, woman, whatever,
[43:17 - 43:23] how many of you guys here have dealt with an abusive relationship,
[43:23 - 43:28] whether it's verbal, mental, physical, emotional,
[43:28 - 43:40] like how many of you guys have dealt with an abusive relationship?
[43:40 - 43:50] Let me tell you something, man.
[43:50 - 43:53] I've dealt with an abusive relationship.
[43:53 - 44:03] For a matter of fact, that same relationship that I was in that I became addicted to the negativity of
[44:03 - 44:12] is the exact same one that was the abusive relationship that almost took my life.
[44:12 - 44:21] That abusive relationship got so bad that I ultimately became addicted to the negativity for over four years.
[44:21 - 44:27] And it took me four and a half years to get away from that negativity.
[44:27 - 44:34] It took me four and a half years to get away from that negativity.
[44:34 - 44:44] Because for the longest time, I felt like I couldn't do any better than what I was in with that relationship.
[44:44 - 44:55] And this song that you guys are about to hear is the song that actually took me and pulled me out of that relationship.
[44:55 - 45:07] It actually woke me up and made me realize that I don't need to be there, that I deserve better.
[45:07 - 45:35] This song made me realize that I don't need that negative bullshit.
[45:35 - 46:02] This song is the reason that I got out of that abusive relationship.
[46:02 - 46:13] And if you guys still are in that abusive relationship, I hope that this song helps you guys to realize
[46:13 - 46:19] that you don't need to be there and that you can walk away from it and that you can do better.
[46:19 - 46:23] You can do better if you walk away from that shit.
[46:23 - 46:34] And I hope that this next song makes you realize that. Because this song is the song that helped me get away from my abusive relationship.
[46:34 - 46:41] And I hope that this song does the same for you guys. This song is called Witness the Addiction.
[46:42 - 55:46] This song is the song that makes you realize that I don't need to be there.
[55:47 - 55:50] Y'all strawberry, what up? I do see your comment. What's up?
[55:50 - 55:52] The song is the song that makes you realize that I don't need to be there.
[55:52 - 68:43] This song is the song that makes you realize that I don't need to be there.
[68:44 - 68:46] Just kidding, man.
[68:46 - 68:48] Let's hit y'all up with the real thing here.
[68:48 - 68:53] Millions find a low-cost health plan at healthcare.gov
[68:53 - 68:57] so they can enjoy more visits and have less to worry about.
[68:57 - 69:01] Feel like a million and find your plan through an open enrollment.
[69:01 - 69:04] Healthcare.gov is here for millions, like you.
[69:11 - 73:17] Let's hit y'all up with the real thing here.
[73:17 - 73:19] This is 18.1 by Athletic Rain.
[73:19 - 73:21] It's way more than multivitamin.
[73:21 - 73:23] And so much...
[73:23 - 73:25] [phone ringing]
[73:25 - 79:35] [music]
[79:35 - 79:37] Oh shit.
[79:37 - 79:41] Alright y'all, I'm gonna end the fucking livestream.
[79:41 - 79:45] Is there really somebody who broke into my shit?
[79:45 - 79:54] So I will catch you guys here in a bit.
[79:54 - 80:00] If you guys can, be sure to hit up my cash app and my pain pound.
[80:00 - 80:02] I will catch you guys later on man. Peace.
[80:02 - 80:05] Son of a fucking bitch.
