DeRogatis writes: The cynicism is bottomless; in his view, one either exploits his own community or is one of the exploited. “I’m laughing to the bank/Ha, ha, ha/I’m laughing at the slave’s life/Ha, ha, ha,” he raps.

Correct lyric: "I'm laughin' at these lames like/Ha, ha, ha."

GQ writes: "As Jay-Z rapped of Beyoncé at the beginning of her 2006 hit "Déjà Vu," "She about to steam. Stand back."

Correct lyric: "Me and B [bee], she about to sting. Stand back"

It's like lyric sites don't exist or something

dero on is unbelievable

yeah it's honestly one of the most perfect things that's ever happened

Too good to be a mere footnote in the dumb Pitchfork thread

(Cultural note: Lowe's is a shop)

lol dude wants to stretch for some blue collar Buffalo content and doesn't know there's a fancy hotel chain Loews Hotels

"It’s a sentiment Gunn circles back to often on Hermes 7 with crass lines like, “First nigga in my city with a Rolls/Fuck two bad bitches at the Lowe’s,” injecting a conventional rap boast with some of his hometown’s blue-collar attitude."
