i feel like offset and gunna should go ahead and make a project together...all of their tracks together have been good, they're both generally better in groups/collaborations than solo, and uhhh not a lot of other people are working with gunna right now anyway

it's really and truly not an insult or a threat to say that if someone in public office can't do the job, it should be done by the second-in-command that they chose! it's the entire premise of our government! individuals can be replaced to keep the system running!

i think the word "bias" is completely useless now. it primarily gets thrown around like this damning accusation by people who have a delusional sense of their own perfect objectivity.

some of the greatest songs of all time have the title in the chorus AND the verses and you barely notice it, but when you DO notice it, it's so annoying and feels like someone is just repeating the same phrase over and over in slightly different intonations

"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" is the monoculture triumph of every early 2000s Napster account that downloaded singing-a-rap-hit-over-acoustic-guitars cover like "Gin And Juice" by The Gourds or "Boyz-n-the-Hood" by Dynamite Hack
