it's an impt point
i kind of don't get this -- i can see why same love is 'bad' but i don't see why it's importantly bad
i think the level of hate being evinced for guy is kinda sad tbh

the thing that's weird about the thrift store song, when hearing it on the radio, is how chintzy and un-current it sounds. sounds like he got that mf'in beat at the thrift shop. anyway, that's all i have to say about this guy who i was hoping to die without ever listening to.

xpost that's like how this lady in my office plays the radio at such a low volume that the only thing i ever hear at my desk is the synth line to "we found love" 5 to 6 times a day

really the most offensive part of this song is the blatant Nate Dogg imitation on the hook

He was looking for a guy that sounds like Nate Dogg. For a decade, I've been known as the Nate Dogg of North End in Seattle
― dirty drone barack boy (some dude), Saturday, 9 February 2013 04:18 (eleven years ago) link
i honestly didn't mind that part of the song that much until i learned they wrote it purposefully as a faux-nate dogg hook, ugh

between this, Urthboy and K'naan it's seeming like a really good year for hip hop pop, or whatever this stuff is, to me. (Plus all the 2010/2011 grime I missed at the time.)

I live in the North End and totally did not know him as the Nate Dogg of North End.
Also might bear mentioning that the North End is the mostly white part of Seattle.

"For a decade, I've been known as the Nate Dogg of North End in Seattle" has a better ring to it than "For a decade, I've been known as the black guy of North End in Seattle"
