Shout out to Childish Gambino and RIP. That's not one I would expect you to know considering it was on a mixtape and not one of his actual albums!


Never knew that one was considered obscure. Like I said, it was nominated at someone else's ranking topic, so I never had any real context for where it came from.

Song Name: Escape 120
Song Origin: Joey Bada$$ ft. Raury

Nominator: Dragon66116 (12/15)


I like Joey Bada$$'s portion of the song; I'm not crazy about Raury's part on the song and I'm not entirely sure why it's even here. If we're looking into Joey's mind and seeing the price of fame, then...uhh...why's the other guy here?

Are you even allowed to sing about how fame has cost you all of your friends and then have someone else sing the final verse? Isn't Raury a friend? If not, why is he in your song to begin with? And as far as I can tell, the two of them don't seem to directly interact with each other during the song or even really reference each other's verses. It feels like a second song stapled on for no reason I've been able to decipher.

This is probably a failure on my part and it's probable that I just don't have the experience with the genre or the artists involved to get what's happening here, but it is what it is.

[FINAL NOTES: Nothing to add here.]
