Yeah, I get the rich older man and the 'kept girl' or 'sugar baby' aspect, I just wish it was slightly more lyrically cohesive. And that does tie in, lyrically, to some of the BTD/P themes. The 'rockafella' part, musically, sort of jars with the rest of the song for me. 

it's a a bit of a mess yeah lyrically, I've noticed that. Starts with her feeling happy in the car. Then does the whole rockefella umbrella and how much she loves him thing, then goes into the whole "empty promises" analogy and how messy he is.

Pop vocal. Record of the year. SOTY. AOTY. (I know it wouldn’t win over some others, but I think an album like this deserves as many entries as possible tbh)

Yes, I've said it here before, but every time I hear the first part of 'Taco Truck,' as much as I enjoy it, it seems to me it could have another 'Venice Bitch' and a sure-fire LDR classic had the TT parts gone on another 3-4 minutes. I'd be happy even if someone would just copy the first part and make a new version with the first part doubled or tripled.

I would've taken a full Taco Truck song and no "x VB" at all; the song had so much potential, but it's basically 1/3 Taco Truck and 2/3 of this trap beats-y mashup of Venice Bitch, it doesn't elevate either song (both Tack Truck and the OG Venice Bitch) by any means.

Full agree. I don't need the VB parts at all, but I accept them because they're there and VB is a good song in itself.

Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father
While he's deep-sea fishing for all the things he's wishing
God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies
Or a map to know your vision, impart on me your wisdom

Me too. Jon Batiste is also credited with playing piano on that song. Im familiar with some of his other works and hes such an incredible pianist and vocalist i hope lana works with him more.

My top 5 songs from this album changes almost everyday omg but A&W is definitely always there. The song is perfection. The lyrics, instrumentals, beat switch, all of it just so good.
But tbh, it makes me kinda sad that the song is mostly only getting the success that it has gotten because of the “Jimmy” part. Not necessarily on this forum but mostly on tiktok (which I know- they kinda suck)

Ajay looks different. Did she get veneers? I’m curious to see her reaction to the album.
