“I spent last night listening to the Spotify Top 100. Well, most of it anyway. You learn some amazing things, like most rap lyrics are so aspirational and so dumb that unless you buy in, cast all critical faculties aside, you listen and you laugh. I woke up in a new Bugatti. Do you even know what a Bugatti is? I’ll tell you. It’s a high profile marque owned by VW that costs $2.5 million. Maybe Ace Hood is hoping they’ll send him one…Or maybe they’re paying him to spread the word on their halo product, so his audience will end up buying Jettas and Golfs, who knows! Then there are tracks about bitches and ho’s and making it from the bottom to the top and you have to ask yourself who listens to this stuff. I’ll tell you. Kids who want to belong.”

Goodie Mob - Special Education - 2013
Goodie Mob feat. Janelle Monae - “Special Education”
I kinda mess with this one. Hook has to grow on me, T-Mo was a good anchor at the end in case the rest of the song lost your ears. Hope is restored in this album.
