i remember i was conflicted. i had a sensible life ironed out in front of me. i thought i was adulting, rejecting my past antics. we sat in the middle of the bus, not the front, not the back. u charmed me like my home city. but i had to be what you wanted from me, the goddess who rejected u. a sniper from a baltimore art school. evolution is the only promise i make to you.

Beautiful and engrossing. But also.. provocative and searingly audacious? I cannot wait for BEEF, volume 2.

Still laughing at this!

The wildest beef record belonged to B.o.B, who dropped a track dissing Neil De Grass Tyson, for believing the earth was round. The Flat-Earth gang ain’t to be fucked with

Thank you David. They tried to go to the edge of the world and B.o.B got thrown off the ledge.

I had such a time reading this. I loved following the character through a concept more than a singular plot. That's not easy to do! Really enjoyed in the beginning when you added in the Teyana Taylor video lol. More than anything I enjoyed the voice you chose to have for the narrator. It was so interesting how invested it seemed. It was like me watching a reality show pan out with one of my friends who gets it. Seeing how he interacted with women was also so nice. You never painted him as oNe Of ThE gOoD oNeS™, he was just a man being considerate at times, maybe not others, and living his life with a conscious approach. Appreciated seeing his mistakes, successes, excitement and raw emotions. Thank you for writing this and I can't wait to read more!
