If you think back there was a time when you'd never imagine any rapper wearing skinny jeans, or singing, or skateboarding, or wearing shirts w/ pictures of cats on them. Etc.

Haha. Yeah. Or writing a McDonald's jingle? Or
singing to their mamas in the most un-Tupacy way imaginable? Or writing a throwback to G-funk for that essentially
shits all over thug culture?
Yeah, times change. They're changing again. As I've said before though, I think this latest shift might actually be the one that I'm too old and removed from to "get." The Thuggers and Lil Yachty/Uzi Verts of the world are just a bit beyond me.
