My brothers have been playing this song around me, and tbh the beat is alright, but the song is basically something you would hear anywhere in the rap game, like you could switch the white guy for tyga or lil wayne and it would still sound the same.

the cacs are pushing the song hard tho, and yes it is cause he is white.

i really don't understand how anybody can like this song.

Can you really say it's worse than a lot of the singles out today... If anything it sounds like a parody of a rap song (which it is), but then again a lot of singles today sound like a parodies of rap.... I can name them if you would like :yeshrug:

you all do realize that they use Youtube views to account for singles charts now...probably why this song is so high.

I cant hate on him though...Pop music is and will always be the most popular genre in ANY type of music.

I dont necessary like this song, but dude was able to stay on topic and tell a story unnlike 99% of rappers, he also made a pro gay song, the lyrics looked cool though

Point blank this is real hiphop

:pacspit:

Some white dude from my job was telling me about him and showed me the video, while I'm watching, the dude says, "yeah and he's gay and has songs about his homosexuality" I gave his iphone back to him and went back to my desk.

Yep...white girl at my job who doesn't listen to rap was trying to force him on us. Typical cacs that only listen to white artists in genres they have no interest in. I called that hoe out on her bullshyt too.

That shyt is bad... That corny ass hipster beat and hook.

I'm not saying dude can't rap at all but I just can't relate to what he was talking about

Now they starting to playing that shyt on the rap stations in Dallas :aicmon:

And if the song wasn't bad enough, his performance on SNL was horrible from his bad breath control to that hideous outfit... :scusthov:

Dudes better pay attention though, The White rappers are the ones winning without a record deal.

Quietly, Wacklemore and Cac Miller are running the independent rap game :snoop:
