Initially boasting of his sexual prowess: “ Yeah the dick ain’t free, I don’t give no fucks”, he later concedes love ain’t so simple: “ Can’t concentrate, you always on my brain. Paak delivers the hook in his smooth, soulful croon: “ I can’t keep on losing you / Over complications / Gone too soon / Wait, we was just hangin’ / I can’t seem to hold on to, dang!” Then Miller enters the scene, delivering his flow with swagger tinged with just enough vulnerability to reveal his consternation over the fragile state of his relationship. Over a thumping retro-soul groove and shimmery synths. The first single from his fourth studio album The Divine Feminine, “Dang!” is ear candy from start to finish, featuring not only Miller but also the wonderful Anderson. He was such an amazing talent who produced an impressive catalog of music by the time of his death at 26, and we can only imagine what more great music he would have given us.

LTE connection bars, no control, fuck Ken' Lamar (fuck you, Kendrick) I don't vote, I never registered. In this Game of Thrones, it is known I got them 4G. Swear I'm not alive, I couldn't tell you if we ever are. Because literally no one is reading my decade-end post 100 Best Songs of the 2010sfor reasons that escape me – unlike my five-year-old post of the 100 Best Songs of the 2000s that still picks up 5-15 new views every single day – I’ve decided to post each song from the 2010s list, individually, at the rate of one per day.
