This may be the most indulgent rubbish in all music history. By far the lowest rating I've ever given on this site. A few of tracks you'd maybe quite like if it were you and your friends at a party hanging out and one of you started doing some rapping while the rest had fun making some weird noises, you might tell your friend, "cool song bro" because you're in the moment and he's your friend, but you wouldn't have such an ego to inflict your creation on any one else.
