[@Slothful_Mortal]

Fun Fact: Denzel Curry's first verse when he said "As I constantly try to evolve just like a togepi" has a bigger meaning behind it, Togepi Pokemon need happiness to evolve so with that said. I feel you Denzel.

[@ni007ck4]

Woah ! Just remembered that shit..

[@balance5216]

Fair play. Whether it was intentional or not, it’s still a dope bar

[@i.theworstguys298]

i thought it was referring to how that mf togepi in the pokémon anime took fucking forever to evolve 💀 269 to be exact

[@540pillz91]

100% intended that deeper lyric for sure. That went over my head and I’ve been hatching Togepi since I was like 7. Good catch.

Nick he’s not completely in the mainstream tho. You don’t frequently see news about him like you do with Migos, lil pump, 6ix9ine, etc and that’s who people base their views about rap on.

IDK isn’t known yet, IDK ain’t signed to a big label to promote the song, this song wasn’t dropped in an album with a major release, the song is lyrical which isn’t as marketable as pop rap so this caters to the hardcore hip hop heads... which means that the casual music/rap fans + non English speakers etc. can’t vibe with the song.
