    There is some race stuff in there with the police. It kind of speaks on how nobody really cares about these issues going on in America hence the lyrics which go with the mumble rap of today and the dancing as crazy shit goes on in the background. Nobody caring about the real issues and instead focusing on dumb shit and material shit. That's how I interpret it

    I'm either too old or too smart to listen to that jumbled nonsense. Probably both.

    As I get older I get dumber. The gain in age offsets the loss of intelligence so I'll always be immune to that.

    It's alright, a lot of people don't like hip hop or the new shit these kids are listening to.

    I get it that all the good music has already been written. Now the only way to make something new is to computer generate a series of shrieks and whistles.

    There's that new band Greta Van Fleet that is basically new Led Zeppelin. They're ok and I'm not even gonna judge them for ripping off a band that ripped off others to make great music.

    Good is good.

    And your opinion isn't fact yet you're acting like it. I fail to see why people do this with music more than anything.

    Your opinion being wrong is also a fact.

    My opinion being factual is a fact.

    This is coming from someone who understands that age has been the driving factor in the past when these issues have arisen. Not this time.

    We see the same thing with movies. Remakes and making endless Star Wars sequels. Moonlight is sooooo amazing because a gay gang banger is different.

    As I said, good is good. Just don't pretend there is anything truly new without aid of computer manipulation.

    What instrument do you know how to play that bestows some authority within you on the concept of music?

    I think it’s exactly what any art should be. Thought provoking, emotional, visceral, fun, and very well done technically and stylistically.

    That being said, if you don’t “get it”...nobody gives a shit.

    It did have a weird vibe to it. Like it was the wrong video for the song or something.

    The good thing about not giving a shit about what other people give a shit about is that we're both happy.
