"Dark Horse" almost top twenty? Above "2 On" and "Hideaway" and "i"?! Like, okay, the chorus and ridiculous Juicy J verse bop, but I'm giving you some minor side-eye right now.
Wait, why were you dragging Bill Werde on Twitter if you like "No tiene la culpa"? I can see why Romeo Santos got so defensive, given that he has such a feminine voice. I'll still be waiting on his People en español cover.
Okay, I'm loving this Lil B song. No black person is ugly! Thanks for the recommendation.
Shouts to the bwest coast! More on that later though.
Let it be known I only stan for the very very first version of this song that made its way to iTunes. Not the mix here that I embedded in hopes of it being the original, not the Rob Orton mix or whatever, and certainly not the album version that compels me to drop whatever I'm doing at the moment to play the original single mix, then pick up where Ultraviolence left off.
Did I mention my Instagram "premiere" video of this being performed at Coachella netted me 500+ likes? I was feeling my that night, yes I was.

The unbridled glee of a black man's surprise at his own upward mobility, set to a beat and overseen by someone who's ****ing the two youngBloods over and out of their rightful royalties. Toast to Rich Homie Quan for the amazing "toupee/toothpaste" couplet. And of course to the multifaceted Young Thugga Thugga in this mothafatha, who sings his chorus elatedly, all with Birdman's load still in his mouth while seemingly riding a unicycle.
Bonus: I like to sub out the correct "beginning" for "BU-CHAN-AAAANNNNN!" in the chorus. Don't ask why.

PPL TURN THE TV ON IT LOOK JUST LIKE A WINDOWWW.
(YAH.)
One of those tracks you just have to start again so its existence registers, then again for good measure. Annie Clark makes me scrunch my face into the obligatory "OOH BITCH THIS FUNKY" face made by people with copious amounts of melanin when the song in question is, well, funky.
good-BYE!

It wasn't until just now I realized this was meant for Cosculluela.
Yassss Rene. None of you know who that is and none of you will bother reading a long-winded explanation so here's a video you won't watch anyway!
Thanking anyone and everyone who viewed and commented. I see the finish line and I'll be posting the top two albums and top five tracks of the year after I scrub this butt cause a ***** just got home from work.
(This is around where SELF-TITLÉD and Black Messiah would've placed had they come out in a timely fashion, btw.)
Wherein two stars, one from the neighborhood where I hope to reside real soon, the other from the adjacent to the north...statistic-ridden borough I would NEVER, vie for top honors of the best long play of the year.
