Like, whenever you hear someone talk about streaming, you hear about IShowSpeed. The guy truly is a content stream in himself. Always up to something wild, but this might just take the cake.
The story goes as follows. IShowSpeed, as usual, was busy (mis)behaving when none other than Rick Ross himself (yes, Rick Ross, the boss) shows up to pick him up. For an actual Miami tour. And this is for real. No strings attached. Not some weird dream. Stunning videoclip evidence.
The clip that is going viral now shows Ross arriving in, what we can guess is, a ridiculously expensive car. Why? Because it’s Rick Ross. He motions for Speed to get in, and boom, they are off. The whole thing has a surreal, movie-like vibe to it. One moment you are a streamer, the next moment you are cruising through Miami with a hip-hop legend. Life is confusing.
And the gamers? They are spinning out of control as expected. The responses are hilarious. An anonymous user, NO CONTEXT MEME, perfectly made the best comment, saying, “Rick Ross just stream-sniped IShowSpeed.” That is… crazy on point. The best part is thinking that this strange, wonderful collaboration is best explained in those simple words. It really seems like Ross just saw Speed on the map and decided to pick him up. A billion-dollar rapper-steam-snipe. Hollywood could not write a better story.
For moments like these, it’s hard to remember all the reasons why some really dislike online culture. This is the type of culture that makes one appreciate modern technology. This is the digitally sophisticated world, meshed with the absurd comedic real life. Speed has an off brand personality. He is wild, loud, and unrestrained and as a brand, he is a streamer’s business. That same type of streamer’s business brand got the attention of a global music icon. I don’t think anyone asked for it, but everyone seems excited about it.
What was the real topic? Did Ross have a sweet spot for the stream? Did ESPN stream some 🚀 business deals? Or just an impromptu energized cruise through the city? We might not get the behind-the-scenes scoop, but it triggers so much speculation, memes, and trademark hints.
It also makes one think about the impact of the streaming and internet celebrities. Building a name through internet games and entertainment is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ in today’s world. You can’t say you’re chauffeured by a hip-hop icon to grow your personal brand/certificate. Such things and the level of opportunities are something else, in a good way, ‘it seems.’
The footage that hits home is what makes the video worth streaming in the first place. Uncertainty is the only thing that you can be sure of. Today, it’s a clip of wild gameplay, but it could turn into a Miami escapade tomorrow. You can’t look away, you can’t predict it, and there’s this weird thin layer of hope.
Island, and all its wonders, is dead centre for bizarre happenings. His name is IShowSpeed, and now we know he got chauffeured around IShowSpeed by Rick Ross. What the hell while we live? And, by the way, tremendous while we creatively produce content. Literally, what’s the next move? Drake perhaps pulling someone in for that late-night OVO sesh. Like, at this rate, we ought to ready our minds for anything.
