I guess grimy gangsta rap isn’t for everyone, but MY GOD, Conway The Machine is so goddamn good. His Griselda partner Benny The Butcher is no joke either, but Conway is just special, bro.
“D’Ussé and calamari diet/My profits risin’, I’m monetizin’ off the shit I was prophesizin’/They think it’s sweet ‘til they get shot for tryin’/Steve Francis dunk contest, Ii’l Rockets flyin’ “
And then, just to totally switch gears, I was pretty anti-pop punk during its heyday in the mid-00s, and I’m realizing later that I actually love that shit (embarrassingly😂). I’m a hip hop head, pop punk just didn’t have a tough enough image for me in my younger days (🙄), and even though I worked at Hollister Co in the height of it (both Hollister and pop punk, haha), I mostly wasn’t into it even though my coworkers totally were and it was blasting over the speaker for my entire shift. Paramore got, Hayley Williams is fucking awesome, I couldn’t front on them, lmao. Most of the other stuff I dismissed until the last five years or so. Upon revisiting it, there’s SO MUCH good stuff in that genre, even though I’m sure rock n’ roll purists probably find it formulaic or corny…. but I love teen angst, no matter how old I get, I can always tap into those feelings of being young and sort of free but also sort of parentally oppressed, lmao. And every once in a while I find a new song that I missed back in the day, and the other day, I came across this one, “Check Yes, Juliet” by We The Kings. Oh man, those teen feels come flooding back😂 “Mom doesn’t like my new girlfriend? FUCK YOU, MOM!!! She and I are meant to be together, and we’re gonna run away!”, all that kinda shit. I have to separate the reality that my parents were usually right about the dumb shit I was doing, and that I haven’t seen those girls I used to run with in high school in 25 years, so we were not, in fact, meant to be together, lmfao. But you feel things hard at that age😂 Anyway, this song…those feels, and WHAT A HOOK. You hit me with an anthemic hook like that and my ass is officially in the seat.
🎶Run, baby, runnnn…don’t ever look baaaaccckkkk…they’ll tear us apart if you give them the chaaaannncccceeeee…. don’t sell your heart, don’t say we’re not meant to be, run, baby, run…. forever will beeeeee…. you and meeeeee🎶 I mean, that just slaps, kiddos, I don’t know what else to say about it.
I don’t know that these songs are THE songs I’d say everyone should listen to, but they’re a couple that you definitely should that are at the front of my mind right now👍

I love positive religious music and pro social love songs from the 1980s like Genesis or Chicago. Bryan Adams and Shania Twain had good music when they first came out. Monica too. Now it’s more sinister like 50 cent or Mariah Carey.

The works of Warren Zevon. Apparently, he eventually made peace with being known as the "Werewolves of London" guy, which is more than I would've done in his place. That what was supposed to be a stupid novelty song ended up being his most popular is unfortunate but understandable; that it's the only thing so many people remember him for is an intellectual atrocity. The man was a lyrical genius, and I'll die maintaining that "The Indifference of Heaven" is the best "wallow in self-pity song" ever written, *even if you don't know who Bruce, Patty, Billy, and Christie are*.
I mean, his Excitable Boy album ALONE should be in basically everyone's collection. "Midnight in the Switching Yard" is the only track that isn't awesome, and even that's not bad. And the version of "Johnny strikes up the band" off Stand in the Fire singlehandedly sold me on live versions of songs. And listening to "Mutineer" while driving through a heavy rain is a religious experience (that WAS the song he wanted to end his set with during his final appearance on Letterman, when he knew he was dying; seeing him pour everything he had into it and hearing his voice break is the kind of thing that makes you want to find the nearest person and hug them).
His best song, it's generally agreed, is "Desperadoes Under the Eaves", and I don't really disagree with that, but if I had to pick just one to play for somebody, I'd go with "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner". Powerful in both lyrics and tune, and weird enough that people who'd get scared off by his more esoteric work will know it's not for them.
"kill a kitten" by some douche bag this girl i was best friends with, then in love with, but now i hate her guts, told me to listen too. she knew me like only a stalking, manipulitive, evil cunt could.
