Shit, man, I was woke way before this. You don't have Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Eminem in heavy rotation for years without learning some real shit, yaknow.

This is a much better song than "This is America"

No, no. I was saying Jesus is better than This Is America.

I judge song quality purely by meme-ability. This Is America passes the test.

I disagree with that, unless we're talking about "Jesus Walks"

You don’t have the insight to dictate Gambino’s “goals and ambitions”.

I 100% unironically believe that within the context of each artist's goals and ambitions, nothing Kanye has ever made is superior to "This is America" in any conceivable way.
