[Candytuft Affection]

I hate how every time somebody makes an acoustic cover of a rap song, y'all be in the comments like "Wait guys, why are the lyrics actually kinda deep?" Duh! Of course the lyrics are deep. The problem is, some of y'all have a bias so deeply entrenched that you can't possibly fathom the fact that Black music can be deep, can be introspective, can be intellectual. Y'all turn on Vaughn and Durk and YoungBoy thinking like, "Ay, whoopty-woo, it's just a little hood jam." No, these - Yes, yes the songs are fun, I'll admit that, but these songs are talking about real life stuff. They're talking about losing people to gun violence. They're talking about substance abuse. They're talking about growing up in poverty. But again, unfortunately, the contributions that Black people make to art in this country are so commonly disrespected and invalidated to the point where y'all only ever appreciate rap when it's made palatable. When it's turned into an acoustic cover!

Hi everyone! About 9 months ago me and my partner took on my mum's cat as she was unable to care for him anymore, he's 15 years old and has become an important member of our family and household. Unfortunately he's come with some dental issues, which we have booked surgery for him to get fixed. He has surgery this week, but it's going to cost us £800. So, I've opened some emergency PAY WHAT YOU WANT COMMISIONS which is available on my Ko-Fi page .
