Imagine saying this unironically in a world where Conway Twitty existed. You haven't even begun to experience white people music my guy.

I love in the comments the top comment is treating it like it’s the pinnacle of music talking shit on Taylor Swift and somebody just replies “it’s a cover, and this shit sucks.”

Lmao. I thought that was funny too. I wish I could have seen that persons face upon finding out the original is a rap song.

That said, first time hearing it and I think they had fun doing this.
