Lol. I mean, CB doesn't have true landmark songs. Doesn't truly have a landmark album on par with Don't Be Cruel, Confessions, Lemonade. What CB has on his side is timing. He just happens to be an act who found a lane and a weird ass fanbase in a state of arrested development.
Being Black and living in Europe and seeing those sorts of tweets genuinely spins me. Every other week thereβs a fascist march, a far-right group gaining momentum or pogrom against Black and Brown ppl, but #they come on here and LIE about this colourless utopia. Madness.
