Wow, this is messy

I love to discuss hip hop as much as anything, or as this girl might say, I am held accountable for being totally real, dude. Trying to listen to this is like watching an episode of Drunk History. It is like watching the oral book report from the kid you know has not read the book. Frustrating to hear her butcher artists’ names over and over and say “dude” 100 times. Thank you for trying. Just wish for cleaner execution
