The Future line is even less coherent than that though. The line is "they misunderstand me when THEY say I'm Jesus Christ" so like... other people are calling him that? Then how could they misunderstand him? He didn't say anything!

[@TheRealMutttastic]

@@Cecil_Arjun But in that case, all the blasphemous imagery he toys with afterwards only serves to undermine the point he's making in his first line!

[@TwoScoopsXD]

I think he's referring to all the Future memes about how he's the toxic Jesus

[@MrXboy07]

TwoScoopsXD that’s what I thought “preach”

[@dpio4543]

So this lyric is totally convoluted but the way that I understand it is that the line, "they misunderstand me when THEY say I'm Jesus Christ" requires the line afterwards for context (sounds like a weird way to write a song to me, but whatever). Which is the line RC plays, "I just want them to worship me, I like what I like", so it seems like Future is telling others that he wants to be worshiped; and, people have been misunderstanding him to think that he means he's Jesus.

That Way could've been a song about a guy struggling with putting his feelings aside for his girl thus he always wants things his way AKA that way. That's the only way sampling the Backstreet Boys song could possibly be emo.

5:50 wait, "anna mae"? That's a actual name? It sounds like someone trying to make anime sound like a name!

[@amagicallaura]

ppl always get "i want it that way" wrong. if you listen to the verses it means different things. "am i your fire/one desire/believe me when i say iwitw" - asks her to believe he wants to be her desire/fire. "we are two worlds apart/can't reach to your heart/when you say iwitw" - he can't get his feelings across and is upset when she accuses him of wanting them to be two worlds apart etc. "ain't nothin but a heartache/mistake/i never wanna hear you say iwitw" - he asks her to stop saying he is happy about their relationship failing/being a mistake. "you are my fire/one desire/yes i know it's too late/but iwitw" - now he says what he DOES want, for her to be his fire/desire. so "i want it that way" expresses four different things. it's a really clever and cute song lyrically and i still like it! it's misinterpreted so often...almost as bad as "i would do anything for love (but i won't do that)" which uses similar lyrical trick...!

[@FCHenchy]

Also, his impressions of rappers (specifically Drake, Blueface, Migos, etc.) is astonishingly accurate!

JUST last night I was rewatching your old stuff, thought it had been a minute since a Monthly worst/best of, then BAM, here you are.

[@heymistercarter.]

So, Lil Uzi Vert, a guy whose name translates to Little Green Uzi in French, has gone from including lines like "You know we winning, yea we is not losing" to making plays-on-words with Reno 911 that are so corny most 8 year olds trying rap for the first time would laugh at him. All while sampling the freaking Backstreet Boys of all things. Quite a lot of progress in a few years, I must say.

[@originalscreenname44]

He went from "Why does this guy have a rap career?" to "Why does this guy still have a rap career?"

[@isabellamorris7902]

90% sure "Vert" is short for "Vertical" - if it were Green, it would be pronounced "Vair"

[@heymistercarter.]

@@isabellamorris7902 the latter pronunciation is how I say his name. And I know that in French, adjectives come after nouns. So if I were to refer to "la petit chat blanc", it would be "the little white cat". And here since his name is "Uzi Vert", and since "vert" is French for Green, I use that to refer to his name as Little Green Uzi.

It's sad because the one song that got closest to 'emo rap' was actually XOXO Tour Life. The dark, depressing imagery, the sad tones, the wallowing in his own angst and the slightly edgy lyrics were perfect... until he devolved into the standard brag rap shit. If he kept that up though, XOXO Tour Life could've been a great emo hit. Lines like "All my friends are dead, push me to the edge." are exactly the kind of shit hardcore emo kids love. Source? I was a hardcore emo kid, and I still love emo music. I love that song, despite it's blemishes. This shit is nowhere CLOSE to emo rap.

[@Derotzka]

If you take those two lines out of context from the rest of "I Want It That Way" then sure it sounds bad. But if you put the context back in it makes more sense. It's a breakup song, and the dude is asking his ex to never say that she wants it that way. ("That way" being: them no longer in a relationship.) It's clearer in the second half of the first verse than the chorus I think: "But we are two worlds apart, Can't reach to your heart, When you say, That I want it that way." Is it perfect songwriting? No. As you said, it's a cheesy late 90's teen pop song. But it's not as abusive as you suggest. Otherwise, great video as always.

No RC, "I never want to hear you say, I want it that way" is him telling his girl he never wants her to see another couple and be jealous.

I think the original "I Want It That Way" is supposed to be what she'd say if she broke up with... all of the Backstreet Boys? The collective average Backstreet Boy? However it works. So it's not that he/they don't want her to say what she wants, it's more so she doesn't say "we just don't work anymore"

[@LunchboxLex]

"Elaborate sex pageants, where he pretends to be Jesus." 😂😂😂😂

[@mcrmy119]

RC, lemme flip your mind real quick because I came to this understanding recently. I Want It That Way is a "please don't break up with me" song that gets muddled by the line delivery. "'Ain't nothing but a heartache/mistake', I never wanna hear you say 'I want it that way'". The speaker is saying they don't want to be considered a mistake by the person they're dating.
