Papoose's "Handshakes with Snakes" passes a million views
The Ron Browz-produced track accounts for nearly all of an unusually large day for the rapper's channel.
Why this story? The whole channel is running at 1,132,243 views a day, 39 times a normal day (28,965).
Papoose "Handshakes with Snakes" Prod by. Ron Browz
One track leads. Papoose's "Handshakes with Snakes" added more than a million views in a day, supplying the vast majority of a sharp jump across his channel.
Released on October 30, the upload has already crossed the million-view mark. The surge pushed the channel's daily views to nearly forty times its usual level, with this release doing most of the work rather than a broad lift across the catalog.
The full upload title is "Papoose \"Handshakes with Snakes\" Prod by. Ron Browz". Its producer credit brings some rap history with it: Browz produced Nas's "Ether", a record that became a defining reference point for the diss-track form. Papoose also tags this release as a diss record.
It follows an October upload of "Papoose "Food For Thought" 🚗🚗" and September's "Papoose \"Jezebel\" Official Music Video". When we last wrote about Papoose, "Jezebel" was providing the activity during an upload break. This time, a new release is at the center of the movement.
The channel's most-watched regular upload remains the expanded "Thought I Was Gonna Stop" collaboration featuring 2 Chainz, Remy Ma, Busta Rhymes and Lil Wayne.
