I will literally not listen to anti consumption and in materialistic rapper because they’re with silly and easily swindled or disingenuous

The way the violin swells into that synth organ decrescendo thing around the :55 mark on lens makes such good use of detailed sound design

luka so fye

need Guidi boots but can never find them in my size

huh lmao

Yeah not sure how it ever got confused for anti consumer propaganda

dont need Guidi boots but want to convince myself my life would change if I got them

He didn't let his fans consume any of that merch. Hell, he stopped letting them consume music too.

Basically people see queerness as automatic anti establishment..

So they’re lazily lumped him in there.

Real.

played gatar

I just got me some Rick boots. Paypal letting me pay in 4 installments

I mean the empathy is there, but I feel like it’s a bit revisionist at this point to say the song doesn’t take a piss out of the lifestyle with its exaggerated lyrics.

His stans are all dumbasses

you don’t know anything about that man

There's definitely a lot of identity disguising politics in America. I honestly didn't know people politicized Frank at all.

Honestly though, he's an artisan. That's a less exploitative way to make a living when we're comparing him to other people in his tax bracket. Anybody doing fashion is sourcing their s*** from asia, and we're all rocking s*** made there anyway whether we pay $10 for it or $300.

In fact he was never anti-braggaddoccio, his love for sport cars expose this.

Real change isn't ever coming in America. It'd be beautiful if it did but the powers that be would never allow it.

Left organizations in the US just aren't large enough, and are rarely even on the same page when it comes to "violence."

Either try to get rich without exploiting people or move to a left country.

dude also has a song called white ferrari

Can we get some examples of anybody calling him anti-consumer?

A little but I also feel like there’s a distinction between old money and new money w that song

A lot of the stuff he’s talking about are super old money - maids, jaguars, parents not being around

I think he believes there’s a distinction between people who grew up extremely wealthy and never had a chance to earn it for themselves - like on his alternate verse

We party in my living room
'Cause father is gone
And he left me this empire
That runs on its own
So all I got to do is whatever the f*** I want
All we ever do is whatever the f*** we want

I feel like he views hustling and coming up on your own as entirely separate to this lifestyle even if down the line maybe it has the same pitfalls

lol ppl on reddit and tumblr find musicians and try to turn them into icons for their movements

Super Rich Kids swag
Was always the core of his alt R&B sound

The threads coming from the discussion from people who were angry about him doing a luxury jewelry brand
