Episode 22 - The Return of Yeezy Busta + Busting Tiktok Hypebeasts

is a light at the end of the tunnel. Summer will be amazing and we'll all get past this together. But for now, just stay at home and you know, watch some YouTube. And speaking of YouTube, your boy is back. Um,

I took a four month break. I I never really get to deep dive on YouTube about kind of why I take breaks and what's really going on in my life, because you know, YouTube is so kind of like fast paced, and there's only so much you can fit in, you know, a five to ten minute video, and I don't want to bore you guys with forty minute videos or anything. So instead I'm gonna give you guys a thirty to forty minute audio today. So if you guys are listening to this, I appreciate you, but I kind of want

to talk about a few things. So around my video, obviously I was exposing TikTok hype beasts. Um, you guys should go check it out if you're listening, if you haven't watched it already, and if you guys are listening to this, you guys should know that I actually do have a giveaway. So for everybody who downloads all my episodes of this podcast, so just I mean, if you're listening on my Heart Radio, on Spotify or on Apple Music, make sure you guys download everything, and um, that's how

I'm going to be picking the winner. Basically, all you have to do is follow me on Instagram, subscribe on YouTube, and like my last video. Uh, I'm going to include the giveaway in the next video as well, which would be next week, so make sure you guys look out for that. For a bonus entry, I'm giving away a pair of half Way Jordan's fives. So I'm really excited

to give those away. I really think that, you know, I think I deserve it because I think, actually I think you guys deserve it more so not me, Um, you guys, I meant I deserve it in the sense that I haven't posted it so long as the least I could do. But you guys deserve it for being so supporting, and you know, obviously I would be nothing without you guys, So I appreciate you guys to make sure you guys go join that giveaway. But let's kind of talk about I come back videos, so hype piece

on TikTok. So, as you guys know, TikTok is probably the biggest social media platform right now. All the biggest creators are going over there and it's the hottest new thing. And I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes I go on the Apple get sucked in for two and a half hours, and I'll be like, shit, I should probably get back to work. And it is very reminiscent of Vine if if you guys remember that app. I feel old saying that, but it's very reminiscent of Vine. It's a little bit longer.

I think they perfected Vine, like that's what Vine should have turned into and evolved into. And now all the other apps are trying to catch up, Like I think Instagram is kind of going downhill right now. Twitter has been dead for a while. I think it's only going to continue to die. I personally love Twitter and Instagram. I love both of those apps. Um, I'm pretty sure Instagram is still growing, but Twitter, I'm pretty sure is actually losing accounts. A lot less people were active these

days on it. Obviously there's a different demographic on each social media platform, but for the most part, everyone's on TikTok right now. I would, I mean the younger crowd. Um, you're not really gonna see any four year olds on TikTok. I mean, you might see a couple, but you know,

it's definitely not the you know, ideal demographic. But anyway, so it didn't take long for the hype pieces to finally come around and say hello, because you know, there's a piece on every platform, and it didn't take me that longer to get on either. I think I've had it. I think I've had my account for a few months now, but I haven't really been as active. I should post a lot more. I have like seventy thousand um followers or fans or I don't even know what they all them.

I think I don't know. I don't really know what they're called on TikTok, but it's crazy. Their algorithm is so different. If you're a creator and you're listening to this, the biggest way that you can were, the fastest way that you can blow up right now is on TikTok. TikTok is your gate into the influencer slash social media icon status. It's the closest, it's the fastest way to put your following right now. I have a couple of friends who have gone from zero to a million followers

within like a month, which is incredible. So but anyway, so let's get into the hype stuff, because I know that's what you guys came here for. Basically, in my video, I roasted some TikTok hype beast. It seemed like you guys really liked it, so I appreciate it. I'm definitely going to drop Apart two coming soon because I said Part two in ten like and it's already at like thirteen k. So appreciate you guys in less than a day. You guys are amazing. But anyway, there's a lot of

people who are flexing fake stuff on TikTok. It's not really as like rampant as Instagram yet, but I feel like all the tick all the hype beasts across social media are going to go and migrate over to TikTok eventually, so be on the look out for that. But I did managed to bust quite a few um TikTok influencers. I don't even know Tiktoker's that what, We're just gonna call him TikTokers and one of the biggest people on the platform. His name is um little Huddy. I really

gave it to him in the video. And I mean, obviously, guys like the roasting, it's just for fun. Like, I really don't hate anyone. I really don't like bullying anyone. I will never say anything really personal. I'll just like, you know, I'll just I'll be like, Okay, cool, your hair is whatever or something like that, like, but I'll never really take any personal jabs. Um but yeah, a

little honey. He has eighteen million followers, and I've seen him wearing a lot of hypee stuff like Supreme Hoodies, um off Way Blazers, I saw him wearing what else that I saw wearing Fear of God, Vans and all kinds of other crazy stuff. So I don't really know if he's actually a hype piece because in a lot of his other photos he's not really wearing any of that stuff. He's more so focused on his black fingernails

and his middle part. But anyway, I don't know. It's interesting because a lot of the tiktoker's are kind of like into sneakers, like Charlie Damilia, which is the fastest growing Um TikToker. I saw she was wearing Jordan's and Um Addison Ray, which is Um kind of like everyone's favorite TikTok girl. Um. Ever, there's like a memes and

the songs about her. She Um has been wearing Jordan's once as well, So I don't know if that's like because they're trying to become hype pieces, or if it's more so sneakers are becoming more and more of a trend for girls, because I've noticed that most girls don't really wear sneakers like that, you know, and it's slowly starting to become a thing. I really hope to see more.

I really hope that we're able to see more like girl hype piece because you know, it's just such a male dominated space that it would be interesting to see kind of like a female group of influencers or a female. I don't really know how to say it, honestly, but it'd be cool to see some female hype beast, female hype pieces in general, or female hypeist YouTubers. I don't really think there is one right now, Like is there? If there is one, I'm so sorry, I haven't seen

the channel, but I don't know. I really do want to see more females kind of get into the hypeie scene because it's such like a male dominated thing. And I mean, obviously guys are more into sneakers and like street where than girls are, because girls are more into like purses and dresses and you know, workout clothes and stuff like that. I don't know, I'm not a girl.

I don't want to sound sexist or anything, but um, it'd be cool if more girls got in the sneakers and streetwear and see how and it would be nice and it would be cool to see how they style things kind of differently than guys. And you know, I've seen a lot of girls get into it, which is really cool. But it's funny because on all my analytics, like on YouTube and on Instagram, my male to female

ratio is like nine point five to one. Um or it's I think it's like male actually, so, I mean, obviously it's like kind of like an untapped territory, you know. And I don't know, maybe as high piece might start buying handbags and makeup. Um, I really hope not. But actually I don't know, because a lot of rappers these days are wearing purses. I mean, I'm a victim to it myself. I don't have any purses, but I have like a few side bags. Um, those are always a

kind of like a thing in Europe. It they just kind of became a thing in the States. But I guess, like I mean, you see people like young thug wearing dresses, and um, you do see some some artists wearing makeup and stuff. And I don't know, I don't really think I would ever put makeup on myself. I don't really think that it's really for me. But um, I don't know. It's interesting, it's weird, like why is it? I don't know.

I don't I don't even want to deep dive into that whole realm because as a whole rabbit hole in itself. But what I was just trying to say is that it would be really cool to see more girls kind of become hype beasts. Let's get back to TikTok hypees. So in my video, I called out a few people. Um, I really didn't see what they got they look like, because one of them, I literally only saw his feet and I totally roasted him. I kind of was relentless and I went crazy. But anyway, there's a there's a

really large amount of people on there who like to flex. Obviously, you know, it's like the same thing on Instagram and in every platform, but there's literally trends on TikTok like rich boy check, where you say rich boy check and then you proceed to show off and flaunt and flex every single item that you have in your home. And honestly, I don't think that I could ever do something like that.

Like one time I posted on my TikTok hype beast check and I showed kind of like the stock room at Blitz, and people were commenting and saying all kinds of stuff, but I was just trolling, like obviously, like none of that stuff was mine. I am involved with Blitz, No, I'm not the owner. A lot of people like to think that I am for some reason, that's that's tray. I am involved though I am part of the team.

But but yeah, I was trolling. I was totally trolling about a lot of people thought I was being serious and but I mean, you would never catch me just like saying rich boy check and then flaunting my car or my jewelry or any of my stuff. And I totally trolled one of the kids who did it. Like I said, if you guys watched my video, you guys will have a little bit more context. But yeah, it's interesting. I have a feeling that a lot more people are going to be going on a TikTok and posting cringe

e hypie stuff. So if you ever see anything on TikTok that is fake or cringe e, sent it my way and maybe it will be in my next video. But one thing that I really saw that was big on TikTok was I'm not only flexing but actually flexing fake stuff. So many people were out for we're posting TikTok's where they like buy stuff off of wish and they will review it. I I think that's kind of interesting because that before that used to be such a

YouTube thing. That used to be like okay, cool. I'm gonna order something off wish Way two weeks review it like ten minute video. But no, like these dudes are crazy out here, Like some of them will order something and it will get there in a week and they'll bang out like a fifteen second video and it would

be crazy. I was like, what, Um, some people don't like to say that they're buying it from which they just like to buy fake stuff and pretend it's thrill, which is you know, obviously another issue that I've had many discussions about with a numerous amount of my friends. But I will save you, guys at the time on that.

So I'll tell you, guys what I'm doing, because I know you're you're like, honestly, right now, while you're listening to this, you're probably either driving, cleaning your room, out on a walk, cooking, or doing something that you just like to mindlessly listen to a podcast, which I do. I do all the time, like literally every morning. Um, I'll wake up, I'll start getting ready for the day, I'll like play a podcast or while I'm driving or while I'm doing chores. It's like it's something that I

love doing. And now it's crazy because everybody's doing the exact same thing. Everybody's at home, everybody has nothing to do, and it's so sad because obviously it's such an economic downfall. But at the same time, it's you know, it's interesting because so many people would complain, like I work so much. I worked so much, I really just want to take a week off, And now we've all taken over a month off. I don't even know when the whole thing

went into effect, but it was definitely a few weeks ago. Honestly, just take this time to just spend with your loved ones, whether you're staying with your family, significant other, or friends, or wherever you might be. Just take this as time to really focus on yourself and your well being, in your mental health. I think part of the reason why I was able to release my video was because I really just locked in and I zoned in. I really

just focused on myself. I was a little bit selfish, and I you know, I had to blow off my friends a few times and kind of really just focused on myself and take this time to really reflect. It's funny because a lot of people think that, you know, from just being at home, you just be bored and eating all the time, which you know is more or less true. But I have actually lost like almost ten pounds and like the last month because I've just been

eating healthy. Um my family is actually staying with me, which is which is really nice. Um someone cooked meals. My mom is like the best cook ever. So you know, eating very healthy, nutritious, non fattening food every day has definitely helped. And going on walks. It is really important to go outside, guys. Make sure you guys are getting enough sun, make sure you guys are getting like that vitamin D, and also just staying active. It's very important

to stay active. I don't know why I couldn't think of the word. Um. Sorry, guys, my brain is a little bit fried. It is uh very late at the time of this recording. But make sure you guys are just staying preoccupied and staying busy. It's very very important. And honestly, if you are a aspiring um YouTuber, influencer or whatever you guys want to say, go on TikTok take some time and really learn the algorithm and learn

how it works. And there's so many different like there's so many different ways to learn the algorithm and how the app works and they're all on YouTube. Just go on YouTube and search like how to become TikTok famous. And I'm telling you, guys, TikTok is like Instagram in two thousand and four, two fifteen, that's when everybody was like blowing up and growing. Now it's like impossible to grow on Instagram Now. If I don't post for a

couple of days, like, I literally lose the followers. And I know, like there might be a couple of trolls listening to this, and no, it's not because I'm you man, event um, it's because everybody's losing followers, like all my friends. And basically, if you're not gaining followers from like an external source, you're losing followers, which is really crazy if

you kind of think about it. So all the people you see who are like gaining followers, like I mean exclude like massive celebrities, even though they're losing followers as well, followers are coming from outside sources. So so even like the big celebrities obviously they're releasing new music, new albums, tour, I mean not touring right now, but you know what I'm saying, Like they're getting followers from from by other means. But if you wanted to become a YouTuber or i mean,

influencer through Instagram, it's really difficult these days. Unfortunately, even like giveaways, like Instagram has like slowed down somehow. Um, they've made it very difficult for your posts to get shared. Um. But yeah, I love TikTok. It's so much fun. It's like fifteen second videos and I don't know why they're so entertaining, and there's so so many satisfying ones. I mean, honestly, the reason why I like tick talk is because of

the memes. I'm gonna be real here. If it was just dancing or like satisfying videos, I probably wouldn't have gotten into it. But the memes A one a one memes like I'm talking deep fried memes all over there, really really good, like very goofy, very gaffy. I'm a goofster and a gaster on TikTok. So the algorithm has played well in my favor and given me the biggest goosters and gasters on the platform. Um. But yeah, so that that that's one thing that I thoroughly enjoyed about

TikTok is the memes. But if it was just like a dancing platform like how it was before with musically, I really don't see it blowing up as much because now it's like full mainstream. Before it was mostly just kids and people who just wanted to watch like dancing like singing videos. But now because of like the meme aspect and the meme culture, it's I think it's really brought a much bigger audience, and I think that's the reason why that it's done so well, and that's why

it's killing it right now. If you're a hype beast, and I mean you're probably high beast if you're listening to this uh podcast. But if you're a hype based and you want to grow, TikTok is your answer, and please do not do any rich boy checks. There are other ways that you can blow up. Yeah, that's pretty much it for TikTok. Just make sure you're not wearing anything anything fake because I will bust you and you

might end up in one of my new videos. You know what, I'm gonna start doing every week that I haven't done in the past, and once I have some guests on the show, because I know the last couple of episodes have been solos. Once I have a couple of guests on the show, which, by the way, after this quarantine thing is over, I have some fire guests lined up. Right now, we're all we're all social distancing,

so trying to you know, stay at home. Even though I'm going to be able to possibly do some over the phone, I'm still trying to figure out how to do that. But once this whole quarantine thing is over, get ready for some Fuego guests. So I'm really really excited for that. What I'm gonna start doing is at the end of every episode, I'm going to ask for the guest shoe like favorite true, and we're going to pick a shoe of the week. So this week my guest is myself. Okay, so easy Busted, what is your

favorite true? My favorite true is the Red October. Actually, thank you for asking, also easy Bust to this week in lieu of it being the first one and and me being by myself, I'm going to say that today's shoe of the week is, drumroll, please, the Red October. That was so sad, but anyway, so yeah, the Red October is this week's shoe of the week. And every week we're going to choose a different tree. Well, well, we'll try. I know eventually it'll overlap at least once.

But this week's shoe of the week is the air easy to read October. Now. It is my favorite shoe of all time. It was one of my grails for a while, still is one of my grails. Was very fortunate to buy it at the time that I did. Um, I was like the happiest person in the world when I bought that shoe. It means so much to me, and sentimentally, it really was like the one shoe that I've always wanted, So it was really really important to me. And I'm like so and I'm so blessed and happy

to officially have it in my collection. So yeah, this week's shoe of the week is the Red October. And I have been talking to myself for about twenty minutes now, so as you guys can imagine, it's not the easiest thing in the world. But I really appreciate you guys listening to the podcast. I know this one is going to be cut a little bit short. I will probably

have a guest either next week or the week after. Um, we're just trying to figure out who exactly can come on over the phone because, believe it or not, like people are still busy at home. Um, there will be some cool guests over the next couple of weeks. Guys, make sure you guys are staying at home, stay safe. Please make sure you guys are subscribed to the podcast if you guys aren't. And I'm looking forward to catching you guys next week. And that was legit check piece.
