CDTVProductions

CDTVProductions, real name Jason, is a YouTube personality from Scotland. He makes videos primarily focused on the topic of hip-hop, and he often talks about his opinions on many different songs, artists, albums, and more within the genre. In the 9 years he has spent as a creator on the platform, he has gained a following of over 300,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. CDTV uploaded his first video titled '**10 Fastest Futuristic Verses Of All Time**' uploaded on August 26th, 2016. It is unknown whether or not he ever uploaded any videos before this one that he later took down. His biggest video as of currently is '**10 FASTEST Eminem Verses Of All Time**' uploaded on December 6th, 2016, and has amassed over 7,200,000 Views.

CDTV is a ginger haired man with glasses and a thick beard. He always wears a black beanie in almost every video he's in, and the fact he's never revealed his hair has become a running gag on his channel. He features a rather thick Scottish accent, which many people in the comments would complain about in his older videos, although this has reduced in recent times. It's unknown what his hair looks like underneath his beanie, and as of today, he hasn't shown much interest in revealing it.

## Series

### Worst Rappers In the Game? Series

Worst Rappers In the Game? (WRITG?) is a series where CDTV listens to a certain rapper that's currently popular or gets mixed reception. After listening through 3-4 of their albums/mixtapes multiple times over, he gives his own detailed opinions on their music and at the end ranks them out of 10. These scores are not final and can change in the future. This can be either due to retrospection (e.g. Lil Uzi & Future), or new releases (e.g. Lil Yachty & 21 Savage).

The series has covered 34 rappers. The first episode of the series titled '**WORST Rappers In the Game? - Young Thug (Episode 1)**' uploaded on October 21st, 2016 and the most recent episode titled '**WORST Rappers in the Game? - Destroy Lonely**' uploaded on June 9th, 2023. He also released 2 re-rank videos focused on the updated scores given to previously reviewed rappers.

Originally, the series had a rating system based on Voice, Flows, Lyrics, Beats and Enjoyment. Each category would be ranked out of 10 and at the end of the video, we'd get an overall score out of 50. But from episode 30 onwards, the rating system has been altered for the sake of convenience. Instead of rating the artists individual abilities, Jason instead gives detailed reviews on the projects chosen for the episode. Instead of a final score out of 50, the maximum score is now out of 10.

### The Whiteboy Trilogy

The Whiteboy Trilogy is a three-video series made by CDTVProductions. The main focus is about Tom McDonald, a Canadian rapper who Jason has shown distaste since reviewing him in WRITG Episode 27. It consists of the videos '**10 WORST Lyrics Ever: Tom MacDonald Edition**' uploaded on September 25nd, 2021, '**TOM MACDONALD MUST BE STOPPED (GRAVESTONES Album Review)**' uploaded on October 17th, 2021 and '**A Rapper Worse Than Tom MacDonald? (Adam Calhoun)**' uploaded on December 12th, 2021.

#### 10 WORST Lyrics Ever: Tom MacDonald Edition

The first video of the trilogy is based on Jason's personal pick of Tom MacDonalds worst lyrics. It contains lyrics from songs like *Dear Slim, Clown World, Dummies, Snowflakes, Brainwashed, My Fans, Feminutz, No Lives Matter* & *Fake Woke*. Despite saying "I've never been so spoiled for choice in one of these videos before", CDTVProductions specifically omitted lyrics from Tom's *Gravestones* album. Stating "if there's any that standout as really bad from there, those are gonna be in the track by track review".

#### TOM MACDONALD MUST BE STOPPED (GRAVESTONES Album Review)

The follow up to the 10 WORST Lyrics Ever video, is a track by track break down of the Tom MacDonald album *Gravestones*. At a length of 1 hour and 5 minutes, it's the second longest video CDTVProductions has ever released, and acts as the spiritual successor of the 2019 video '**I Bought Tom MacDonald's "GHOSTORIES" Album So You Don't Have To**'. In the video, he goes through all 19 tracks on the album, giving his personal thoughts and criticisms about each one. He concludes the video with his overall thoughts on the album, saying it's worse than Tom's previously released album *Ghostories*. and lists his favourite and least favourite songs from the album, which goes as follows...

* Favourites
	+ *Sellout*
	+ *The Music Industry*
	+ *Icon*
	+ *Eff You*
	+ *No Response* (Favourite Track)
* Least Favourites
	+ *People So Stupid*
	+ *Blame the Rappers*
	+ *Burning My Designer*
	+ *Satanic Rappers*
	+ *Propaganda*
	+ *Weirdos* (Worst Track)

The video features fellow YouTuber Quadeca, who is best known for being a rapper himself. He takes part of a skit in the middle of the video where he and CDTV play a song lyric guessing game. In theme of the video, Quadeca is set to guess Tom MacDonald lyrics, and ends the game with a score of 12/15 correct guesses. Given the Yellow background, many commenters suggest Quadeca filmed his segment at the Hivemind Studios.

#### A Rapper Worse Than Tom MacDonald? (Adam Calhoun)

The trilogy ended with a video discussing Adam Calhoun, a 43 years old rapper from Chicago. The video is broken into 4 sections, the first where he gives some background on Adam, the second where he discusses his controversial song titled *Racism*, the third where he quickly discusses his thoughts on 4 of Adam's albums, and the fourth where he answers the question in the title. He concludes that Adam is in fact worse than Tom, and he found little interest in his country style of rap. He notes that besides *Billy G.O.A.T.*, he had a complaint for pretty much every album, and was rather critical of Adam's writing and delivery.

One of the major issues CDTVProductions brought up about Adam's music was his use of the N-Word despite being a white artist. He claimed Adam's use of it on songs like *Racism* comes off as ignorant and disrespectful, regardless of whether or not his intentions with this where positive or not. He also mentions Adam's use of the word on an older song titled *Public Enemy* where there was "even less of a point to say it". This is one of the key points he includes as to why Adam is worse than Tom, who despite having similar content to Adam, has avoided saying that word in his music.
