ruined the whole series for me. i ended up 1-starring it on netflix. then i unsubscribed from netflix

i was engaging in hyperbolic speech to point out what a weird song choice that was. it was only half-serious. it's hard to convey tone via text. of course everyone listens and has access to everything these days. i guess i was more amazed that of all the songs that feature someone saying "shoot you," "shot ya," "shotta," "top shotta," etc. they chose that song, and specifically the remix of that song which i didn't even know existed despite owning the album the original is found on. it really stood out as odd to me. but i guess there aren't that many songs with a jarring sawtooth bass line at the same time as someone saying "top shotta" so it ended up being a good choice
