Drizzy Versus The Man On The Moon

Last time I checked, someone's mental illness is not a choice.

There is nothing quite like some new Drake music to get you through a long week. He is typically known for catchy emotion-driven tracks that can be related to his own life in some way. However, one of his recent releases has sparked a deal of controversy on social media.

"Two Birds, One Stone" is an ultimate diss track that kills multiple "birds" with one "stone." Drake took shots at Pusha T and Meek Mill, but the target drawing the most attention is Kid Cudi. Cudi recently admitted himself to rehab for depression and suicidal urges, and he received lots of support from his fanbase as the news spread.

Upon opening Twitter a few days ago, I saw nothing but an excessive amount of tweets regarding Drake and mental health. Of course, I looked into it a bit further to see that "Two Birds, One Stone" referenced Kid Cudi's mental health.

The line itself reads:

"You were the man on the moon
Now you just go through your phases
Life of the angry and famous”

"Man on the moon" references Kid Cudi's 2009 debut album, and the rest of the diss is up for debate. The people of social media take various opinions that "phases" represents his mental state, and "angry and famous" also correlates with his emotions.

It seems as if some people believe that Cudi was aggressively targeted, and others think the line may have more to do with drugs or his alleged fall from fame.

To me, personally, I think what Drake did was a bit uncalled for. I understand that rap beef will be rap beef, but referencing someone's mental illness while they are doing what they need to correct it is pretty shady, and I'm ashamed to see an artist for whom I once had a bit more respect pull such a dirty move.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area.
