@@narheanrg1949 wouldn't dare put clb in any top 5 lmao. The trailer for that album was a literal nod to all his old best albums, giving the impression that clb would be a return to a introspective and serious sound again. Instead he scrapped it for the beef with Kanye which is disappointing, I do think the real clb albums is just sitting somewhere. Even the leaks he had, showed a return to his old self but that beef stuff threw everything off. There a few good songs on there but nowhere nears his best work or even good.
Been with Drake since 2007. Some of my best memories are hanging with friends listening to “Thank me Later” and my college days with “Take Care”. I would do anything for him to do an album like those again, just for his old fans.
I need Drake to be in a good relationship for once. Maybe then we’ll get a mature album. Cause bruh is pushing 40, a father, and still rapping the same bs… wild
pusha is older yet talks about selling drugs. kanye still flexing his money and is older even did so on a album dedicated to his deceased mom. future talks about sex and is older. yet y’all hate when drake flexes and talks about his life and the things he’s accomplished. The double standards are crazy.
@@leultrainstinct406 Entirely different context. Pusha is just rapping for fun about things that happen in damaged communities and has admitted he is not about that life. Kanye flexes often as a joke and will offer introspective songs that show the wealth doesn't really matter to him in the end. Future is entirely rapping from the POV of a toxic addict who has given up on life. Problem with Drake is he lacks self-awareness and thinks people find the stuff he says cool and relatable, when it's mostly sad and pathetic. Not to mention he has all the resources and ghost writers in the industry yet decides to put out the same song over and over.
@@leultrainstinct406 last time I checked all of them had albums that deviated and showed experimentation (not to be conflated with Drakes appropriation of music trends). He’s the Mc Donald’s of rap. Clearly you like him on your lips, and that’s fine, but as Shawn stated the man was put in top three for a reason. Giving 20 track albums where only three are solid ain’t it.
I completely agree with your take. I’ve been listening to Drake since like the 5th grade. I’m in my late 20s now and it feels like he has regressed more than anything. It’s like as I’m growing and becoming more mature, I would hope that my favorite artist’s music would do the same, but it’s the complete opposite.
This was really his chance to go conceptual with 'BARK Radio'. A radio station where dedications are made to all the dogs (men, women, hood dudes, lover boys, 'all' the dogs would've been his vast listenership, the same way radio stations have vast listernerships), it would've addressed his struggle to make music that caters to his masses. Hosted by Snoop, he could do intros, outros, call-ins, little skits (max 3/4), 13-15 tracks. He would've made a thoughtful album that feels like an experience, something with ideas, introspection and quirks that prove he's not just into the data dump streaming algorithm, but he can make a cohesive body of work that we refer back to when his career is done. But for some reason him and his team don't have that gear in them like TDE or Dreamville. It's a waste of an album.
Yeah I thought by the title it would appeal to the boys, but after a few days, I see its like how you mentioned. But in the music I don't feel like he's trying to make music for all the dogs, just random ass Drake stories. Lol like Who tf is Jason?
Drake is surrounded by Yes men. There aren't people like Shawn Cee or even us in his circle because if we were there he wouldn't like us because you aren't allowed to say anything negative about drakes music. Even if its a song you dont like. in those rooms with Drake, it goes something along the lines of "bro plays song, waits for people in the room to go crazy. If you dont go crazy on the song then the rest of the room attacks you and dissects your opinion in a manner that makes your opinion irrelevant because drake is bigger than you ever will be so shut up, this is the album and its dope. if you dont like it get out. that is the OVO mentality. hot line bling almost didnt drop because the real ones on his team told him the record was ass. that became one of his biggest hit. ever since then, you cannot say anything negative when reviewing his songs he does not trust you or care what you say. you can say its not your favorite. Any other feedback isnt accepted from anybody other than drake, 40 maybe noel.

It's almost like Kendrick, Cole, and Ye taking their time to make music instead of just putting shit out actually works well.

bro is right tho, old drake felt hungry in every song and felt like he was trying to prove a point and was aiming for something. Now drake is so big he could release some trash and get more money than some rappers ever have. The album wasn’t bad for me personally some songs are growing on me but I’ll always miss that hungry old drake
@gupmali Nah you can still go back to old drake songs and have fun. I've always been a casual listener but i picked out like 2 or 3 from this album that i heard were really good and left like wtf was that. I think it was the last song on the album, i cant remember the name of it but people said it was real good. I went to check how much time was left cause i felt like it was getting repetitive and i was like 40 seconds in. That song DRAGGED
that nostalgia is what keeps drake from getting his respect. it’s a constant paradox. every album that comes out it’s “i want old drake” yet those same albums become the “old drake” for his next album. The exact same thing will happen to for all the dogs. drake won’t get his respect until he retires
That “old drake” & Shawn saying people want that feeling he used to give them way back is also something though he’s not possible of even doing.. people first listened to take care/NWTS when graduating , passed thier driving test , first love etc they want that great feeling again from 15 years ago whilst listening to his music.
But people were just praising 8 AM in Charlotte. Why? Cuz it’s genuinely a good song. Along with those projects you just mentioned. Take Care is phenomenal and NWTS is phenomenal. They get attached because of the memories connected to it AND because the music is good too. This album was ass. Just straight ass. People want Old Drake back because Old Drake was actually fire.

Drake is at a point where he’s alienating his OG fans to stay relevant with a younger audience. Can’t imagine a grown man in his upper 20s, 30s rocking to this. The sad part is the music industry is so trash now, there’s no rising superstar to push him artistically.
This was perfectly stated. OG fans slowly fading away, and not only that, but his current music isn’t as substantial as his old music that whatever fans he’s trying to attract now won’t last because it has no lasting power.
why dont yall get that drake can't do that og music, he's said it multiple times that he's not able to make music at that stature. Also why are yall acting like his latest albums weren't good?(ik im hella late just recently started watching shawn cee)
I think Drake is following trends when he has the power to set the trends. Idk why he’s pushing himself back, he can be such a great rapper with his own style, he gave like 10% of his capability in this album.
10% capacity? Y’all never take the time to actually sit down and dissect the things and topics drake dives into to, yet put all that energy to giving him hate and criticism. 8am in charlotte, fear of heights, daylight, away from home, first person shooter alone disprove that entire argument
@@leultrainstinct406my guy those are four songs on a 20 song album that’s 20% at most, and none of those songs clear anything from his first three projects
@@leultrainstinct406 Yeah, but bro has covered all of those topics before in the past and did it on better records, with better writing. It literally makes no sense why Drake chooses to ride modern waves instead of innovate the waves he helped pioneer, himself.
@@leultrainstinct406those songs are good, but we all know he can do better. He didn’t say nothing new, he already said it with better and more original writing. I’m not hating on Drake, he’s still one of my favorite artists, I just think he needs a break, he seems kinda lost. I mean he said it himself he’s taking a break
Bro..the best thing to come out of this album is the fact that Drake is finally taking a break lol like deadass And facts, Drake literally has the world at his fingertips, and hardly uses a pinky of that power and influence to create masterful music when he's clearly capable of doing it. That has to be the most frustrating thing as a fan of his.
Naw it probably would've been seen as him biting off Metro Boomin havin Morgan Freeman narrate 'Heroes & Villains'. Drake and Metro don't see eye to eye, so I don't think he'd wanna have anything to do with something that could be perceived as a Metro influence.
@@bariserejonadab5586it would’ve been cool ig but let’s be serious, what would Snoop talking for an extra 30 seconds each track do to help the overall bland and bloatedness of the album?
nah. It was another horrible take form an average drake hater lmao. Any other artist does something like that, it adds to the theme and concept of the album. Drake does it, it’s just “lazy”

I really wish Drake would just make an entire album of him rapping like he's doing on "8am in Charlotte". It can be a 7 track EP for all I care. Just rap rap for at least 90% of the project and I'll be cool with that.
He said he could do that but wants to give different sounds consistently. Which I think is dumb af. Like he can RAP if he wants to but just refuses to.
It’s annoying when Drake releases songs like 8am in Charlotte especially since he used this song as a “snippet” I guess right before the album dropped which shows 1 he still got it and 2 he know it was the best song on the whole album and used it to set the standard before the album dropped. I say all that to say it’s annoying when every now and again you see that he still drops these gems along another 22 songs that was garbage
@@nickn4672 yeah they did have like two or three songs I actually liked outside of the song I mentioned. First person shooter, Virginia Beach, and idgaf (mainly for year tho). I was kinda of exaggerating tbh. But my point still stands on him still having potential and showing us that he does but falling flat on that potential when album time comes.
@@mikesincere27 honestly I see where your coming, FATD doesn’t suit everybody’s taste considering how messy it can feel at times since it lasts for an hour, but I think it’s great that Shawn acknowledges some of FATD might grow on him in the future.
the audacity of drake saying "being 25 as an excuse doesn't fly with me" when he's talking all this corny, middle school type, petty, nice guy BS as a 40 year old dad is fking insane
Im convinced Drake dug into the vault & just compiled a good portion of this album on tour with a few new tracks & verses sprinkled in, About 4-5 stand-out tracks imo.
I was just waitin to see Shawn react to 8 am in Charlotte cause that one somethin else when you hear it 1st time 😊 I knew it was gonna hit him. Hit me the same way. So priceless.
fear of heights, amen, daylight, Bahamas promises, drew a Picasso, away from home, what would Pluto do, polar opposites, 7969 Santa, etc. this album was great
@@leultrainstinct406 if you’re a low-musical-literacy music listener who is happy with basic, bland, unimaginative mediocrity, yes. If you actually like good, original, passionate, mature music… not at all.
Your rant at the end about Drake mentioning things as if we’re supposed to know what he’s talking about was hilariously true. We just want good music, man.
I completely agree with every opinion you had on this. Holy shit. Drakes disappointed the fuck out of me on this album. It’s crazy. He has everything and every style and every skill. He didn’t try at all and he tried to appeal to the new generation which has the worst music taste ever. This was really tough.
couldnt have said it better. when he used to drop an album u listen. this felt like him hopping on any shit drill beat and mashing an album together. He needs to work EXCLUSIVELY with 40 on the next one
Yup.. the moment I saw that the track listing was 23 songs I knew there was no way this was gonna be 1 of his better projects. I would've been happy with him just staying in his 'Her Loss' bag. It's the 1 album in recent years that actually seemed like it gave the fans something they could be content with. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I feel way too much Yachty influence on this and it ain't for the better.
I think we are all missing the fact that 40 hardly produced any of these songs. He is the hitmaker behind it all, and that becomes more apparent as he steps away from producing :(
@@ReigenArataki Yeah i fw some of yatchy's new stuff, pretty catchy. On real talk though, go check out the album 'Obsidian' by Naomi Sharon. 40 had a big hand in that, and damn it gives me 2009-2013 drake vibes
It’s unfortunate considering Drake was on a solid run for a nice lil decade. Then Scorpion dropped…then CLB..then Honestly Nevermind…now FATD 🤷🏽♂️ he’s shown glimpses of why I like his music here and there..but even with no expectations, aside from production; Drake’s not really sayin nothin. And I think I’ve outgrown his music atp.
@@realestsienna u right. I actually didn’t mind it first listen. It (to me) isn’t as good as the projects he dropped from So Far Gone to Views. And with FATD in the mix…it makes CLB look like a 10/10.
@@richardmartinez5040not even after a hiatus and him working on his alcoholism ? I also feel like 40’s lack of presence is really showing now, too bad he’s not doing too well last I heard
Weekend wrote damn near all of his tracks on take care and Quentin Miller wrote a lot of his sh** after. I honestly believe now he writes his own music and ppl are realizing he is overrated.
It's difficult to make great music when you've already reached the top of the game. Ambition is fueled by the lack of success, so once you make it to those mainstream heights that Drake has been living on for the past 5-6 years, there's not much ambition left in the tank. He's just playing the game on autopilot at this point, and resting on his past achievements.
I knew it was only a matter of time before Shawn hopped on Drakes FATD

CLB wasn't nothing crazy but it's a solid 6-7/10 in all honesty. A lot of tracks to go back to.
@@zander2473 Wait which ones cuz i havent went back to a single track
@@zander2473id rate it lower then that but i agree, this album just shows how much i liked clb
I think Drake is following trends when he has the power to set the trends.
Idk why he’s pushing himself back, he can be such a great rapper with his own style, he gave like 10% of his capability in this album.
10% capacity?
Y’all never take the time to actually sit down and dissect the things and topics drake dives into to, yet put all that energy to giving him hate and criticism. 8am in charlotte, fear of heights, daylight, away from home, first person shooter alone disprove that entire argument
@@leultrainstinct406my guy those are four songs on a 20 song album that’s 20% at most, and none of those songs clear anything from his first three projects
@@leultrainstinct406 Yeah, but bro has covered all of those topics before in the past and did it on better records, with better writing.
It literally makes no sense why Drake chooses to ride modern waves instead of innovate the waves he helped pioneer, himself.
His trends be other people trends
@@leultrainstinct406those songs are good, but we all know he can do better.
He didn’t say nothing new, he already said it with better and more original writing.
I’m not hating on Drake, he’s still one of my favorite artists, I just think he needs a break, he seems kinda lost.
I mean he said it himself he’s taking a break
Bro..the best thing to come out of this album is the fact that Drake is finally taking a break lol like deadass
And facts, Drake literally has the world at his fingertips, and hardly uses a pinky of that power and influence to create masterful music when he's clearly capable of doing it. That has to be the most frustrating thing as a fan of his.
Drake is literally the Peter Pan of rap. He just doesn't grow up at all
and just like peter pan he grooms little... nvm

@@lavarball528lol people already knew this before Kendrick dropped. Damn
His take on Snoop narrating this album is 💯 on point
Naw it probably would've been seen as him biting off Metro Boomin havin Morgan Freeman narrate 'Heroes & Villains'.
Drake and Metro don't see eye to eye, so I don't think he'd wanna have anything to do with something that could be perceived as a Metro influence.
Wym that’s definitely happened before its just a way to tie it together
I swear snoop would kill it 🔥
@@bariserejonadab5586it would’ve been cool ig but let’s be serious, what would Snoop talking for an extra 30 seconds each track do to help the overall bland and bloatedness of the album?
nah. It was another horrible take form an average drake hater lmao. Any other artist does something like that, it adds to the theme and concept of the album. Drake does it, it’s just “lazy”

I really wish Drake would just make an entire album of him rapping like he's doing on "8am in Charlotte". It can be a 7 track EP for all I care. Just rap rap for at least 90% of the project and I'll be cool with that.
He said he could do that but wants to give different sounds consistently. Which I think is dumb af. Like he can RAP if he wants to but just refuses to.
I yelled so many times at your reactions to bars 😂😂😂😂
Nothing was the same since nothing was the same
Facts
If you’re reading this was pretty great tbh
If you reading this you’re right 😂😂😂
Y’all been saying this since more life came out and more life was fire for the most part
Went right over they head
J cole did wash drake on his own shit💀💀 Drake had to switch the beat and have the last 2 minutes to make us forget the masterclass j cole put on
sounds like a Walmart Meltdown tbh

@@drtenma8they all got the same formula when it didn’t need to be
Whenever Drake drops a song that's titled with a time and a place you know it's gonna be good
They're called Timestamp songs from Drake's Timestamp series
Havent seen you in like 3 years , happy to see that you have working legs now ! Enjoy
It’s annoying when Drake releases songs like 8am in Charlotte especially since he used this song as a “snippet” I guess right before the album dropped which shows 1 he still got it and 2 he know it was the best song on the whole album and used it to set the standard before the album dropped. I say all that to say it’s annoying when every now and again you see that he still drops these gems along another 22 songs that was garbage
EXACTLY MY POINT BRO
Nah bro first person shooter, daylight, virginia beach and 7969 santa r fye
@@nickn4672 yeah they did have like two or three songs I actually liked outside of the song I mentioned. First person shooter, Virginia Beach, and idgaf (mainly for year tho). I was kinda of exaggerating tbh. But my point still stands on him still having potential and showing us that he does but falling flat on that potential when album time comes.

Been waiting to hear about Shawn’s experience with Drake’s FATD
Drake inspires me.. My parents said if i get 60K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging.
Why he hates on every Drake project for the past 7 yrs. Nothing new with this review.
@@namantherockstarI hope your shit gets terminated, fam
@@mikesincere27 honestly I see where your coming, FATD doesn’t suit everybody’s taste considering how messy it can feel at times since it lasts for an hour, but I think it’s great that Shawn acknowledges some of FATD might grow on him in the future.
FAT D was good but it was just way too long for me
the audacity of drake saying "being 25 as an excuse doesn't fly with me" when he's talking all this corny, middle school type, petty, nice guy BS as a 40 year old dad is fking insane
I’ve noticed I love a lot of drakes first songs on albums they’re usually my favorite on a lot of his projects
Can’t lie I’m surprised central cee wasn’t on this album considering how obsessed he is with the uk scene
“The writer strike hit Drake hard”. Best bar ever, and true for this album
He has been trending downward since 'If you're reading this it's too late'
That album is a classic
Who’s here after Shawn made Drake’s story stressing about who he’s talking about on songs
Real talk 😂😂😂
Only shit I'm here for is Shawn's reaction to First Person Shooter ft J Cole.
That is all
And Cole ate!!!
I’m here to see his reaction to these lyrics😭
If you call an album for all my dogs you better go hard .
He obviously doesn’t like the dogs bro
Drake always came off as a cat person.
Im convinced Drake dug into the vault & just compiled a good portion of this album on tour with a few new tracks & verses sprinkled in, About 4-5 stand-out tracks imo.
4 minutes in and I'm howling 😂 this album is a pump and dump
How do you call an album pump and dump bro I'm dead🤣
Dark Lane Demo Tapes is still Drakes best project in this 2020 era so far.
Chicago Freestyle 😢
It's actually Care Package
I was just waitin to see Shawn react to 8 am in Charlotte cause that one somethin else when you hear it 1st time 😊 I knew it was gonna hit him. Hit me the same way. So priceless.
Drake really the mcu of music
Thats actually a really good analogy. 🤔
Perfect take.
Imagine making a 23-track album and the only good song on it is the one you have Cole on. AND he washes you on your own track. 💀
Virginia Beach and 8am were cool personally.
fear of heights, amen, daylight, Bahamas promises, drew a Picasso, away from home, what would Pluto do, polar opposites, 7969 Santa, etc. this album was great
@@leultrainstinct406 if you’re a low-musical-literacy music listener who is happy with basic, bland, unimaginative mediocrity, yes.

Your rant at the end about Drake mentioning things as if we’re supposed to know what he’s talking about was hilariously true. We just want good music, man.
Haha for real that part had me dying
Jay z was the king of that
Bro, i spit out my drink at that part lol. Three different jasons!
crazy because whenever Kanye does it he meat rides and calls it “art”
Drake has to deal with the worst double standards lmao
Just listen to another artiste
I pray the drake story warrants a main channel upload 🙏

“You can reach for the moon but you just go out the back door” perfect saying in regards to drake

Bro the fact that Drake put you on his story 😅😂
I need a whole album of 8am in charlotte type songs from drake
Tbh he should have given that whole song to Chief Keef and still kept it on the album
Drake never been the same since his og ghost writer left him.
I completely agree with every opinion you had on this. Holy shit. Drakes disappointed the fuck out of me on this album. It’s crazy. He has everything and every style and every skill. He didn’t try at all and he tried to appeal to the new generation which has the worst music taste ever. This was really tough.
couldnt have said it better. when he used to drop an album u listen. this felt like him hopping on any shit drill beat and mashing an album together. He needs to work EXCLUSIVELY with 40 on the next one
He's been disappointing for several years now
@@bub5842what drill beat?
yeat and adonis >>>>>>>
Utopia made this album sound like shit
The album cover alone was enough to show how little effort he was about to give us
Forreal
Yup.. the moment I saw that the track listing was 23 songs I knew there was no way this was gonna be 1 of his better projects. I would've been happy with him just staying in his 'Her Loss' bag. It's the 1 album in recent years that actually seemed like it gave the fans something they could be content with. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I feel way too much Yachty influence on this and it ain't for the better.
Glad to hear that Shawn is hip to Veeze. Away from Home should have had him on that track for sure the way the production is
Thought u were Big Quint
I think we are all missing the fact that 40 hardly produced any of these songs. He is the hitmaker behind it all, and that becomes more apparent as he steps away from producing :(
sad man him and drake where so tight now he's hanging out with weirdos like yachty and his music started declining
@@thanosianthemadtitanichave you listened to yachty’s latest album though? it was pretty good
@@ReigenArataki Yeah i fw some of yatchy's new stuff, pretty catchy.
On real talk though, go check out the album 'Obsidian' by Naomi Sharon. 40 had a big hand in that, and damn it gives me 2009-2013 drake vibes
Drake had this video in his stories yesterday oh he watching
The best way to listen to Drake albums is secondhand from Shawn Cee
This album disappointed me…he will never top nothing was the same and take care 😢
I swear
IYRTITL is right there and is his best
I remember fighting over Monica with Jason… Who the f*** is Jason! Had me in tears 😂😂
Bruh I just got to this part 😂

Drake’s FATD is really hard to digest
ayo
Lmao
PAUSE
The video we alll been watching for…
Hope you do your year end lists this year.
Respectable take, well articulated.
It’s unfortunate considering Drake was on a solid run for a nice lil decade. Then Scorpion dropped…then CLB..then Honestly Nevermind…now FATD 🤷🏽♂️ he’s shown glimpses of why I like his music here and there..but even with no expectations, aside from production; Drake’s not really sayin nothin. And I think I’ve outgrown his music atp.
clb honestly isn’t as bad as ya say it is but continue
@@realestsienna u right. I actually didn’t mind it first listen. It (to me) isn’t as good as the projects he dropped from So Far Gone to Views.
And with FATD in the mix…it makes CLB look like a 10/10.
Scorpion started it…that’s when he signed a big 400 mill contract and started dropping bloated albums
@@JordanNMusic LMFAOOO
Nah his creative fall off definitely started with Views.
This the funniest shiit I've watched this year, no cap 😂💀
The Legend Has Returned ❤❤❤❤❤
8am in Charolette is the most infuriating song. The fact that it exist on this album is just mind boggling
“Both of Pushas sons on a track” 😂
Nothing could've prepared me for the "who's jason" clip, that shit killed me cuz that's EXACTLY what I said
I don’t even think Drake worshippers know who tf Jason and Richard are 😂
@@bryantorresart does drake know?
“I packed them in this phone like some sardines”😂😂😂😂
Lot of y'all still rocking with Drake because of how he had y'all feeling in high school. ...He's still making music for high school kids.
This album is perfect to listen to when your deaf
😭😭😭😭
“He should market this album to deaf people”
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Or when you have trouble sleeping
I feel like Drake is just on cruise control. I don't feel like he's competing anymore. He doesn't feel like he has anything to prove, and it shows.
Drake has nothing to talk about, no content simple
Yeah I think Joe said it’s autopilot Drake
I see Drake watched this on his story lol 😂 Maybe he will see from your perspective
Loving the continuous collection of Berserk art that keeps showing up in Shawn’s vids
funny enough that portrait of guts is actually something he drew himself on stream a few weeks ago
Haven’t listened to a Drake album since CLB and I haven’t missed anything
I was watchin some old vids and thought it would be cool if u rereacted to old albums u loved back then an see if u still enjoy it now
If anyone’s interested-
the sample on Virginia Beach is from Wiseman by Frank Ocean.
I made an extended intro and outro of the song on my channel thanks everyone
God this album was so mid. He been dropping mid after mid after mid after MID
I really think he’s not capable of making a good album anymore lol
Yeah and his stans still eat it up he’s too big to fail so why should he stop
@@richardmartinez5040not even after a hiatus and him working on his alcoholism ? I also feel like 40’s lack of presence is really showing now, too bad he’s not doing too well last I heard
Weekend wrote damn near all of his tracks on take care and Quentin Miller wrote a lot of his sh** after. I honestly believe now he writes his own music and ppl are realizing he is overrated.
@@Harveygregorxotwod never said he should stop. I’m just saying it’s not quality music

He’s a music snob, bro don’t like anything
Fr amen one of the only good songs
Its pretty easy. It sounds out of place
I didn’t like it at all.
I feel like if he placed it as the outro or second to last it would of fit better which goes all the way back to the point of sequencing on this album
It's difficult to make great music when you've already reached the top of the game. Ambition is fueled by the lack of success, so once you make it to those mainstream heights that Drake has been living on for the past 5-6 years, there's not much ambition left in the tank. He's just playing the game on autopilot at this point, and resting on his past achievements.
What a silly excuse for mediocre
“Ambition has left the tank”
8am in charlotte alone disproves that entire statement💀
This is so well said
@@leultrainstinct406one song out of 23 tracks lol
past 5-6 years? he’s been on the very top since like 2010 lol

Shawn you can’t lie tho that Goat line on Fear Of Heights was sum slick
“For the yorkies” 🤣🤣
