I feel like the whole thing is a joke. He has zero flow, his rhymes are terrible, and his beats are mediocre at best.

This is a prime example of a "GET OFF MY LAWN!" post.

Nickle / Nickel is something I always screw up. I'm not really a fan of Nickel Creek, for what it's worth.

Oh neat now we get to see how lower-middle-class life has crushed their hopes and dreams.

I got a scandal for yah!
