Rapper Reacts to songs that shouldn’t have left

2025/2/20 Edited to

... Read moreIn the world of music, some tracks make their way to the public that arguably should have been kept under wraps. The opinions of artists and rappers can offer insights into what makes a song successful or not. Kenyon Long takes a closer look at lyrics, beats, and overall production to discuss why certain songs stir controversy. Additionally, the exploration of the 'shouldn't have left the studio' concept emphasizes the subjective nature of music appreciation, where one fan’s trash is another’s treasure. Engaging with audience reactions online, especially within vibrant communities on platforms like Twitch and TikTok, can further highlight differing perspectives on what makes a song worthy of release. By examining examples through a comedic lens, we delve into the ever-evolving debate of artistic expression versus audience expectation, unpacking the dynamic relationship between artists and their fans.

Why You Shouldn’t Buy Full Sized Perfume…
When I first stated collecting fragrances the biggest misstep I made was buying full sized bottles before I truly fell in love with a fragrance. These days, with a collection of 300+ bottles, I do not buy full sized fragrances without sampling first! Many companies offer samples, minis and trav

I Shouldn’t Need A Side Hustle
I shouldn’t have to trade my peace for rent. Or burn out my nervous system just to afford groceries. This cost of living is not sustainable. And the worst part is—we’re told to normalize it. To “grind harder.” To “build a brand.” To pretend like exhaustion is ambition. I’m not lazy.

7 things you SHOULDN’T feel guilty about!!
we all feel guilt. whether you’re a people pleaser, a perfectionist, or just plain human, we all feel it. sometimes we feel REAL guilt (that we should feel) when we do something wrong or something we regret - but even more often, we feel guilty about things we have no business feeling guilty for ⤵️
