A month or so ago,Dominic Fiketalked toBrockhamptonringleader Kevin Abstractfor a videoabout his new album.
Hes noticeably nervous, even around his friend he fidgets, he yells, he just cant focus.
He clarifies that its the latter.
I guess I just am always anxious, Fike says.
Except for when I get on stage.
I hope they cancel me, he raps in the chorus.
So I can go be with my family / So I can quit wearin this mask, dawg.
The lyrics are mostly just hyperbole he currently livesinL.A.if poorly executed.
As recent conversations have shown, most talk ofso-called cancel cultureis bothimpreciseandinaccurate.
Its an easy way to get your song noticed, but a hard way to be taken seriously.
As if it needs to be said, Fike doesnt seem to want to actuallybe canceled.
With a song like Cancel Me, hes only asking to knock down everything hes started to build.
