. Usually when you say Regardless, it's in unison with an asshole. He's a piece of shit who got played by a weird family. Probably hates that, and is super fucking weird now. Maybe he's warped,? An idiot?

Bittersweet is so much better in this form. The production takes away from the words so much. Powerful in this delivery here.

Love him ♥️

This to me is like a lesson about wishing for fame. He came out so fresh, carefree and humourous in the first clip. By the last he seems bitter and angry

Feels different after episode 2

Kanye Goatier than a Goat
