Well, peeps...  this song has certainly been causing a bit of a stir 😅

Granted, I'm far from the *best* person to be commenting on this particular song as it's not really aimed at me, buuut I figured it might spark some interesting conversation either way..

In my opinion, it's all worth it for the video, itself.

Anyhow - what'd you guys think of the song & do you think Pharrell & Jay communicated their message gracefully??

I feel a bit manipulated because the stories were obviously great and the video a joy to watch. But if I was a young black man or woman in America (which I’m definitely not - I’m just a pasty white hip-hop loving English girl) I think I would be pretty irked by a billionaire telling me basically ‘oh you can do anything if you just try enough’ ...because that is so clearly not true in America, now so more than ever. You can literally work 3 jobs and still not make rent.....so it’s a systemic problem that needs to change more than an attitude of individuals in my opinion. Not to mention the kind of poverty and drug filled environments many black kids grow up in....the odds are stacked so far against you from the moment you’re born. I hate the term ‘pull yourselves up by your bootstraps’ and this is giving me strong vibes of this sentiment. I’m happy if it inspires ppl and I’m sure it will but it just feels a little bit cringe. I do love Tyler a lot though and I liked his little cameo. I just think the days that billionaires can give struggling people advice on how to succeed in life without pissing a lot of people off are probably past us. And the song was average at best. BUT in that little close up cut you did John your skin looked amazing!! So that was a big bonus for me 😉
