Oh, oh, oh [Oh, oh, oh]You're a native New YorkerYou should know the score by now [You should know by now]You're a native New Yorker
Music plays, everyone's dancin' closer and closerMakin' friends and findin' loversThere you are lost in the shadows, searchin' for someone [Searchin' forSomeone]To set you free from New York City
And, whoa, where did all those yesterdays goWhen you still believed love could really be like a Broadway showYou are the star, win the applause
Oh, oh, oh [Oh, oh, oh]You're a native New YorkerNo one opens the doorFor a native New Yorker

xp Well for one thing it misses the point of the track. Haze has been open about coming from Michigan and writing it when she'd only just moved to New York so it's knowingly outrageous - you arrive somewhere and you have so much self-belief that you feel like you own it. She's not trying to trick anybody.

love the judgments from on high about this episode, when did male rappers beefing ever get the "tut-tut, terrible stuff" line
in a month's time no one will remember
― lex pretend, Monday, 7 January 2013 13:32 (eleven years ago) link
Male rappers rarely look good beefing either - unless they can tie it into some sort of big mythology about themselves that they can build on. That certainly didn't happen here.
― dyslectic Christ Brown (longneck), Monday, 7 January 2013 13:45 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i mean the Cassidy/Meek Mill thing is stupid as fuck too, it's pretty rare that beef isn't especially these days
― some dude, Monday, 7 January 2013 13:50 (eleven years ago) link
i just remembered the common/drake beef over serena williams
i take my post back
though really how can anything actually "backfire" on an artist these days, that's evidence right there - everything carried on as normal for both despite their silliness, as it will here
― lex pretend, Monday, 7 January 2013 13:53 (eleven years ago) link
yeah people will pretend every beef has Ja Rule levels of potential career ruination and it's just delusional, the stakes are never that high.

Beef really hasn't been the same since 50 Cent failed to take out Rick Ross. That was the Titanic of Rap Beefs.
― dyslectic Christ Brown (longneck), Monday, 7 January 2013 14:11 (eleven years ago) link
well... the thing w/ that one is that people at the time saw 50 as being greater than ross even from an objective career perspective but he was really just on his execrable slide down a creative and moral bottomless pit, whereas ross' career was still on the upswing. granted that beef sort of amplified those trends but it was also 50 fucking with someone people cared more about even if a lot of others didn't realize it at the time. could say the same thing in less dramatic terms about his "beef" with kanye, too.
― J0rdan S., Monday, 7 January 2013 14:18 (eleven years ago) link
was 50 vs kanye the point where people started automatically thinking "publicity stunt" about beef? like, that was so contrived

― lex pretend, Monday, 7 January 2013 14:31 (eleven years ago) link
Of course. But the remarkable thing about the beef with Ross was that it was all about authenticity and myth/persona. 50 tore down Ross' narrative about himself and it still didn't help.
