    I watched this straight after your livestream with F.D. Signifier. Honestly the reaction I'd had previously to seeing this thumbnail was in line with one you discussed in that livestream - "This seems like work". I know very little about rap and hip-hop and was like ugh, i'm gonna have to leaRn something...
    This video is fucking incredible. I haven't full-on laughed from just a video in such a long time!! And I was curious about "Untrue" after that tiny snippet. Listening to the album now and it's unlike anything I've ever heard. "Endorphin" had like, a twist near the end that just threw my stomach.
    I can't believe how much shit people miss out on due to this systemic programming and sense of guilt we feel as though we should have when we learn about it which in turn leads to u avoiding things that "feel like work" rather than getting to experience more stuFf
    am not articulating this very well but i hope people understand the Vibe if they read this comment.

    The line about your teddy bear being your first parasocial relationship shook me cause I'm still that dude's biggest fan

    As much as I love your videos on tv/movies, I hope you do more videos on music. This is really insightful and fun.

    This might be my favorite video on the internet. I'm not as invested in hiphop as I'd like to be and I'm way more invested in youtube video essayists than I'd like to admit to, and this video brings every part of me together to fullbody wheeze at "the sound of tinkertots marching to war".

    "your first parasocial relationship was probably with your teddy bear"

    So I just went down the rabbit hole of watching your videos and this has been an extremely fun way to procrastinate from work. Not sure if you're taking recommendations but have you considered doing a Video Essay about Euphoria? Weirdly the one reason why that thought popped up, is how you do your makeup, it's really cool and has that style.
