This is so unrelated to the article, but I would love to have some idea what you're talking about here. Are you saying Lil Pump is a very strong artist? In what sense?



I don't know, it's just a feeling. His song, "Gucci Gang", gave me a really strong reaction the first time I heard it. I kept thinking of the whole western world, and what is happening to it.

For context, I'm in my mid forties and have I've been in East Asia for 5 years. Listening to this song, I felt like what I once knew as a kid was finally gone. The last columns have crumbled, and the foundation of what I could maybe come back to some day has disappeared.

All I know is that I don't think I'll forget it, even when I'm 80. Not too many songs can do that, and this one really hit me, more than anything else. It was like a bullet.

If I had to describe what great art is, I'd say this is definitely it.


And you are being serious??


Huh? What in my post makes it sound like I'm not being serious?


Lil Pump is kind of a joke among rap fans, so it's kind of bewildering to see a serious defense of him.
