Awkward Memories! (Feat. Jazz Emu)

It was an honour to work with a purveyor of funk as fine as yourself. Here's to the Bond of Brothership, stronger than oak.

If you cringe at past memories, it means you grew as a person. Never fear your past, for it is a teacher, telling you not to take for granted what you now are and to always remember your cringe roots. Rejoice!!

Mr. Select thank you for introducing us to Jazz Emu, a criminally underrated comedic music channel cursed by the KZbin algorithm… hey wait, I’m noticing a pattern here…

[@samjonen4010]

Yeah

[@mcparker8408]

The absolute soul put in the lyric of "How did you climb up seven stories!?" gets me every time. This is probably my favorite song of yours, I truly love it.

[@ValueSelectTV]

Blessed to hear it my friend ❤️ hope you’re enjoying the channel!

[@brimming]

I'm in awe of the Speech level 1000 play that Soulman 69 pulled. He's staring down the barrel of a gun, and he knows Jazz Emu has killed at least twice before, so this is no bluff. But he doesn't simply plead for his life. He knows Emu is motivated by an attempt to counteract cringe, so Soulman 69 breaks down logically why this ultimately won't work. If you murder someone because they know you did something cringe, that itself is cringe! So if Emu continues his murder spree, it only leads to an unending cycle.
