we all know the perfect pokerap is a gesamtkunstwerk but may i present to you:
the perfect pokerap is a what hell yeah what
hm. physically? i could beat up clayton. emotionally? i don’t know. i don’t know if i could carry that weight.
tfw you realize both of your boyfriends are complete himbos who do not realize the consequences of their batshit theoretical actions
i cannot express the very specific feeling of finishing the finale of dances moving, the most beautifully crafted and heartbreaking story brian david gilbert has ever produced, reaching the last few seconds of the video, reflecting on the raw emotion behind a simpleness of it, thinking about life,
and then

can i just like, notice that literally every single song the altogether (and even its individual members by which i mean bdg) has produced literally SLAPS?? like, they have no bad songs. what the crap.
like, yeah, you’ve got classics like clean slated state’s “do you need someone, do you need a new me?” but then also like
billy and anne, arguably one of my least favorite of their songs, still goes hard: “and i don’t care what you say/the world looks beautiful today”
this manhattan man has incredible lyrics: “what better place to make mistakes than an island already filled with heartbreaks?”
but then also, like, in older songs? like, ladybug? ladybug SLAPS. the rhythm! the groove! the beatboxing and the buildup! the line “everywhere i’m lookin i see polka dots!” a Bop!!
and then ofc you have bri’s other work, with things like the humble knight with beautiful imagery and a good story- “trapped in a hard shell of onyx and gold/with heart as light as a dove” and disclaimer, which literally sums up ever feeling i’ve ever felt about coming with a lot of baggage into a relationship: “‘cause i’ve never met a girl/that makes me feel i’m on a tilt a whirl/and i’ve never felt so pleasantly ill”
anyway what im saying is. i appreciate the hell out of the altogether for being incapable of producing bad music
