There has been a ton of copyright issues with my recent episodes. They either get blocked in some countries or taken down completely. I've also been recently focusing on jobs, going to the gym, spending more time with friends and working on other projects. This is mainly because I am not a kid with a lot of time anymore, new tracks have not been hitting the same as I remember and old tracks that do hit the same are becoming harder to find. All this along with me not liking cowbells as much as I did before and phonk losing it's identity every year may cause the channel to be way less active. On the bright side, new episodes will still eventually come since I got ideas for them which I'm looking forward to releasing! It will just take longer to come out than usual.
Also some confusion about the music has been brought up to me which I want to finally make clear. This channel does not post classic phonk, It never was focused on that. What It's focused on is drift phonk that still sounds like phonk or memphis which is what the newer drift phonk lack, basically OG drift phonk. I like to call this "drive phonk". Whether you think it can be a part of the real phonk subgenres like raw phonk and rare phonk are up to you but I think it can with the right elements, which is what I try to look for in tracks when curating these mixtapes.
Examples of what I would call drive phonk:
ROBSCIRE - LEANIN' SIDEWAYZ
2.7.5 SLIM GUERILLA - FATALITY (PROD DJ. SMOKEY)
CVRSXD X BAKER - SILENT NIGHT
DJ PLAYASTATION - MUTHA FUCKIN SET 2
JUNIOR FERRARI - SKY SQUAD DELTA
INCONTINENZA - WAR ALL NIGHT
Many tracks featured in my episodes would also be considered drive phonk.
The reason I call it drive phonk instead of drift phonk is because even drift phonk is being called other genres that are more popular like house phonk or aggressive phonk and even brazilian funk is being called drift phonk (was not expecting that one). This must be because drift phonk wasn't even a coined name back when I released my first episodes and when it was finally coined it would usually be in reference to phonk that wasn't og phonk and this damages og drift phonk (drive phonk) which I consider to be part of og phonk along with raw phonk, rare phonk, etc. So I think a fresh name for this sound would help in it's revival and let it be known to the public. I will try to work with people to get this new name more exposure or make another channel promoting this, but I am still also busy these days so I won't really know if it will happen.
There are tracks and episodes that I regret putting (episode 15 being one of them due to focusing on only house phonk) and I could have easily kept posting on what was trending (I almost did) and make millions of views promoting house phonk but after reading very valid criticism, I have taken it down quickly and decided to no longer feature house phonk or anything too far from original phonk but this also means the videos will naturally have less views due to no longer being what's trending.
This also had me come to the realization that I may have made it confusing to many people on what phonk is due to my descriptions simply calling it phonk aswell as drift phonk being absent in the title due to drift phonk not even being a coined name at the time. During 2020, not many people were making phonk mixes featuring cowbell heavy phonk and cars. It was only me, olkr41, deny key, and lithuanian phonk from what I remember. As being one of the first drift phonk playlist curators, I feel the need to apologize for my ignorance and wished to have coined "drift phonk" for the title instead and changing it now seems pointless as the damage to phonk has already been done. Many people have been influenced from these episodes during 2020, which may have caused a snowball effect for the demise of phonk, when it should have always been called drift phonk. Though I feel like eventually it would have happened anyway, due to original phonk being niche, it just sped up the process. If that's the case then, I am sorry to all my OG phonk producers.
I wasn't planning on writing this much but It felt like the right time to just type the thoughts on my mind and let people know what the channel is truly about. Phonk is a big part of who I am and It's amazing to see how far it's gotten. I always knew it had potential, but I wasn't expecting it to go like this. It really is a lesson to cherish the times that are good before they're gone.
Sorry this was so long LOL stay tuned for the next episode and thanks to everyone who still listens, you are true ones)))

If people are still wondering where episode 10 is for whatever reason, I cannot upload it due to copyright reasons. and since I edit my video in mobile, It takes up alot of my storage and I deleted it. I might come back and upload. What do you guys want to see?
