💬 “That’s why I give recording artists—hip-hop artists, especially—so much kudos, because I think people downplay just the emphasis of what they’re doing, like, ‘Oh, it’s just a rap song.’ But no; this is a therapy session going on here, as you can see.”
⚡ In this episode, I explore Meek Mill’s powerful verse on Fridayy’s “Proud of Me”, which I think is one of the best verses of the year. Here, I discuss how it serves as a powerful commentary on grief, loss, and the quest for acceptance from lost loved ones. With personal reflections and a deep dive into the lyrics, this episode highlights the therapeutic nature of music and how tricky navigating grief can be.
