Fetty Wap x Adele

Is it just me or did Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen" and Adele's "Hello" use the same autotune filter?  The tonal similarities are remarkable.

It may come to pass that Ghostface's Mighty Healthy attains the same stature in hip hop that Wes Montgomery's Impressions has in jazz.

Gunshots in Asheville (2011)

Gunshots in Asheville

If you see an attractive girl in sensible flats - that's Asheville,
If you're watching Big Lebowski by the railroad tracks - that's Asheville,
If you see a girl in a sarong with a little bit of fringe - that's Asheville,
If you hipster gourmet dish comes with plastic on top - that's Asheville.

There's a microbrewery on every corner,
Girls makin' babies with other moms,
We watch Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart is a leader,
I'm not going to be all snarky snark snark because this summer I'm a whitewater rafting coach,
I'm a whitegirl with some dreads and I work at the local co-op,
I'm gonna advertise sustainable broccoli,
Sleep with my husband who was a playa got in on with every girl in Asheville.

We all hate the tourists but love bitching about them even more,
Just give me my sustainable cheese,
I got dreads all up in a braid looks like a challah falling out of my head.

Throwing peanut shells on the floor,
Asheville's trash is nature's compost.
