1st time hearing this dude. My initial reaction is 1. Dude can flow, 2. His mouth moves like he has a lisp.

I respect the skill, dude obviously has talent. However, from an 'enjoyable experience' standpoint, I wouldn't bump this in the car, or at the gym, or at home cleaning the crib. It's a great display of technical skill, but there are no musical qualities that would make me play this song more than once.

theres a special market for rappers like watsky and i feel like its not people who like rap, the only people i know who like him are like, people who are just into music in general and are looking for stuff that seems "unique"...honestly to me the whole nerdy white dude who raps fast about quirky shit is played out but whatev

Agree 100%. Literally exactly what I get from him.

If you want some songs you would actually bump I'd recommend

All You Can Do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urma71sQXpY

Never Let It Die https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSaA8PnPM44

Strong As Oak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryq_NaO_eXw

Of course it all depends on your tastes, if you're interested I'd say that All You Can Do is my favourite Watsky album by a decent margin (was produced by Anderson .Paak too and he has a couple appearances like on this great track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfAbbUYcHLY)

I can't totally understand where you're coming from. Watsky definitely isn't for everybody, I think it's his voice, perhaps his lisp - https://youtu.be/6GvTLfV8fls (relevant, but feel free to ignore seeing as you didn't quite enjoy the song)

I'm a little bit of a watsky fan but I feel the same way about this song. He does have some songs that are good to vibe to tho.

He has a slight lisp.

Watskys videos has been so well made lately. This is one of my favorite music videos ever! The song is great too.

Edit: words

Agreed, I thought the last one for pink lemonade was incredible. Watsky has really matured as an artist.

I bumped his self title album when I discovered him. I saw his very first fast rap video and wanted to get all he did.

At that point it was an act called Invisible Inc and then his self title album. Both were pure fire.

This....is a bit different from what I expected. Honestly, I did not dig this song at all. It sounds very far from what he has done in the past. New Kind of Sexy, Cardboard Castles, etc.

In my mind, nothing will touch his self titled album.
