    "Chief Keef is an emotional boy. He feels a lot of things, from exuberance to betrayal to bravado to placidity to regret. That doesn't make him special, but it does make him valuable. Whereas other rappers would pivot between braggadocious and rueful from song-to-song, Keef explores all manner of moods within the confines of a seemingly one-note concept. Mostly, "Love Sosa" concerns the universal adoration of Keef by his haters and random women. But it's not just loyalty and sexual desire here. "God, y'all some broke boys" doesn't sound as though Keef is just scoffing at everyone who isn't GBE, he's actively disappointed at the fate of his rivals. They could have been as adored as he is, but they're not. How tragic. Drake said it best that "jealousy is just love and hate at the same time." In "Love Sosa," love surpasses sex, romance, and friendship to reach that hallowed ground: mutual hate-following, a relationship truer and more unbreakable than any other." -vice

    Omg exactly

    Why is it even worse than my satire of it?

    Tbh I’ve seen black people do this type of stuff with Carti as well, saying s*** like “He’s truly a genius, the method he uses for executing melodies is reminiscent of Schubert” but in this context it seems like they’re trying to legitimize a street rapper for the upper echelons of elitist academia, to which is say f*** that, the culture doesn’t have to “explain itself” to a bunch of old ass nerds who only listen to classical
    Which I’m sure they’ll be okay with too, I doubt some professor at an elite university is going to gaf about Carti’s music, there’s no sense in making them care

    Are you in the third grade? Cause if you are (which you are) I can take your grade report and stick it in your mom's vagina while you walk in the room and I tell your dumbass to work on getting that next grade report up
