The older I get the further I seem to be from mainstream media, and yet everything about Maps called to me.
It's important to note that Android Auto was recently updated. And if you've been living under a rock, my Monday morning drive to school is always the same. I force the kids to listen to the RC album of the week.
Maps starts playing, and I can't get it to stop. It's not that I care that Maps had some curses in it. But when we pulled in front of Vincent's preschool, a mega church, and the teacher opens his door to, "Weed lube, weed butter," I was hoping she didn't hear everything.
These lyrics are fantastic though. It's the first time I've went back and listened to an entire album again while reading along. I won't get into all the hits, but pork belly, Joe Burrow, slaps, and my personal favorite, "Flying carpets out this motherfucker."
Once again, another album that makes me appreciate rap. And I can understand why Maps was so loved, not to be confused with "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
