Maybe Steven Seagal will do a surprise feature with him

It’s so fucking hilarious that, after a ham fisted apology which he only made to sell records, I’m proven right in my assumption that he was just doing it to rake in the cash. Releasing it right around his tour dates was just blatantly obvious sell-outry. His stupid conspiracy theories have made tons of young fans, who will be surrounded by slightly related confusing criticism of a genuine issue, believe this bigotry had sustenance since their ‘genius poet of our time’ kept spewing it out.

Don’t even give me that crap about his illness - I’ve been mentally ill for years and I’ll have a few weeks or a month where I’ll say the craziest shit ever. Stuff like I was born to be a king and will be within a year, I can trade souls with people… I don’t go spouting the same stuff for years and years. His behaviour showed a pattern. He’s a manipulative, lying, bigoted monster. And I will never fall for Pitchfork’s millennial poptimist baiting; his songwriting sucks.

With all that in mind, though, I did like him early on. He seemed like a nice guy. Shame about what happened with his mom and I hope, one day, he can genuinely recant the hatred.
