WHOA WHOA TAKE IT EASY WITH THE BADASSERY MY NIGGA I JUST SEEN YOU IN A CAR COMMERCIAL DRESSED LIKE AN ART GALLERY CURATING ASS NIGGA. SO YEAH “READY TO DIE” AND “GUN” AND “SEX AND MONEY” ARE COOL SONG TITLES MY NIGGA BUT YOU WAS ON PETE & PETE B. NAHMEAN YOU WAS IN A COMMERCIAL WITH JOHN VARVATOS AND THAT NIGGA JOHN WAS DRESSED LIKE A BOSNIAN PORN MOGUL. YO WHY DO FASHION DESIGNERS WEAR THE DUMBEST SHIT? NIGGAS DESIGN CLOTHES THAT RAPPERS FALL ALL OVER THEMSELVES TO COP BUT THEY THEMSELVES DRESS LIKE FUCKING JERKOFFS. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN KARL LAGERFELD B? THAT NIGGA DRESSES LIKE A VICTORIAN VAMPIRE THAT’S IN THE MAFIA. I KNOW IGGY POP IS “A DETROIT ICON” WHICH UNLIKE MOST OF MY ARTIST FACTS I LEARNED IT VIA THAT CAR COMMERCIAL AND NOT VIA DREW.

“JOB” IS A PRETTY GOOD SONG MESSAGE WISE AND I CAN RELATE NAHMEAN BECAUSE I GOT “WRITTEN UP” FOR “WRITING” AT “WORK” AND MY BOSS WENT AND PRINTED UP A MEMO AND ALL THAT ON SOME PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE SHIT. WHY CAN’T BOSSES BE CONFRONTATIONAL B? LIKE IF YOU SEE ME DOING SOMETHING “AGAINST THE RULES” WHY NOT JUST BE LIKE “YO YOU CAN’T DO THAT” INSTEAD OF PUTTING A SECRET BABY NOTE IN MY MAILBOX. YO THERES A SONG CALLED “GUN” AND IGGY SAYS “IF I HAD A FUCKIN’ GUN I COULD SHOOT AT EVERYONE” WHICH IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO SAY ON A RECORD IN THE WAKE OF ALL THE MASS SHOOTINGS NIGGAS ARE PERPETRATING I BET YOU NIGGAS WAS THINKING I WAS TURNING INTO SERIOUS TERRITORY AND I’MA LET YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW THAT IGGY POP LOOKS LIKE ANTHONY KIEDIS’ GRANDMA SO THAT YOU KNOW I’M NOT HERE TO BLOW YOUR HIGH WITH SOME RACHEL MADDOW LEAN FORWARD BULLSHIT. THIS IS ALSO NOT A BIG DEAL BECAUSE NOBODY IS GONNA LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM EXCEPT JOHN VARVATOS.

IS THIS WHAT TOM WAITS SOUNDS LIKE? LOL I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO TOM WAITS IS LOL I’M NOT EVEN GONNA GOOGLE THE NIGGA CUZ I’M HAVING A PRETTY GOOD WEEK SO FAR. LISTEN MY PALS THIS IS ROCK MUSIC FOR A “SONS OF ANARCHY” VIDEO GAME FOR GAMEBOY COLOR. IGGY’S VOICE SOUNDS CRAZY DISINTERESTED ON 80% OF THESE JOINTS.

I GIVE THIS SHIT 2.5 PILES OF DUTCHGUTS OUTTA 5 BECAUSE OF “JOB”

STANDOUT TRACK: “JOB” IS VERY APPEALING TO ME BECAUSE I HATE MY WORKPLACE MORE THAN WHITE PEOPLE THINK MUSLIMS HATE AMERICA.

NOTE: JK I LOVE MY JOB IT IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT FULL OF CARING INDIVIDUALS THAT SUPPORT ME AND WE WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO ACHIEVE GOALS AND ALSO PROGRESS OKAY.
