I don't mind Sia overall, but whoever first said "Sia doesn't do metaphor" ruined my ability to listen to her lyrics without giggling
also, what if this song is her attempt to do metaphor and... it's just one bad metaphor they keep repeating as a chorus

If that Atlas Pain song had clean vocals instead of rote "extreme" vocals it would be halfway decent. But then it would be a power metal song, and those are outlawed in America.

Of course, any time a white rapper takes a comedic approach to hip-hop (especially with racially charged lyrics), it's easy to see it as a white dude making fun of rap music—and potentially black culture in general.
This has happened with Riff Raff, Lil Dicky, and others. As Miller’s profile grows, skepticism is being thrown in his direction as well.
As soon as I bring up the topic, his voice takes on a serious tone.
“I fuckin' love rap music,” Miller responds. “All kinds, all sorts. It's not my intention to make fun of rap music. Some songs are lighthearted parodies of today's rap culture, for sure. But I don't want people to make the mistake thinking that I'm hostile or aggressively making a fool out of rap culture. It's just a light parody."

Frank said on twitter that this song isn’t meant to be a political statement, rather just a filthy ballad about wanting to have sex with Donald Trump.
But of course that could just be Frank being facetious.

Holy shit, Darke Complex, the nü-metal band I wrote about for Stereogum (and posted in last year's thread), have turned the Stereogum headline into a T-shirt:

Sort of weird that the shirt says Stereogum on it instead of their own band name. It could have said DARKE COMPLEX up top (they could keep the little logo for laffs), maybe with an attribution to Stereogum under the quote at the bottom.
