Needs a little more meat and maybe find a picture of G-Eazy with champagne or something

There's a little too much information about who Puerto Rican Johnny is. The description on him could be cut down. Also, _what_ other songs is he mentioned in. The tate says that he is, but there's nothing to back that up.

I don't know who True is, but it sounds like they and Puerto Rican Johnny are both from Chainz's block, so this should be combined with the next two lines, with further explanation.

First sentence is unnecessary.

The first paragraph isn't necessary. It seems like a huge stretch, and even if it isn't, the annotation should be focused on that lyric, rather than the subject of the song. The line for Bobby Brown can be carried over to the second paragraph instead, along with his full name for clarity.

It was perfect up until the last part. "Rust" is not a homophone of "russ." They just _similar_, not the same. That needs clarity. And since this is definitely a potentiality of the "rust"/"Russ," the annotation shouldn't phrase it like it's a fact. Could say instead.

Also, Wayne could be using the word "rust" to sound like "Russ," since Russel Simmons is the name of the cofounder of Def Jam.

I don't see how the lyric mentioned is similar enough to this one, to even make it worth having in the annotation. The only similarities are "'feeling'/'getting' loose" (which is used all the time in rap), and the mention of Goose, another common thing in rap. Yes, Hooch contains Vodka, which is also mentioned here, but there's not a strong enough connection to make in the first place, and even if there was, the annotation failed miserably to make it.

The last part also needs citation.

how do we know who he's repping? Does it say that earlier in the song? Did he himself say something about it somewhere?

This needs clarification and proof of how we know he's repping the two gangs mentioned.

This is broken up into too many paragraphs, and some of the wording is off. Take the first sentence for example. It could be better worded like this:

>
His girl isn't afraid to kill herself if he dumps her; his threats don't mean anything.

That being said, the whole rest of this annotation is based off of his point of view, or what he's thinking and saying, when the lyric says "_She_ said." "Push me to the edge; all my friends are dead" is supposed to be her speaking, not him.

There's also not a very clear connection between the middle two paragraphs. It states what the two phrases mean, but not how they relate. But this is all based off of the wrong person's POV anyway, so the whole tate should be reworded.

The last sentence is a complete stretch.

Good substance, but a lot of the wording is off, and sounds awkward when reading.

There's no explanation of the lyric! What does it mean? And what does them dating have anything to do with the lyrics?!

The first sentence has a period where there shouldn't be one. That could either be taken out, or the part of what album it's from could be. It seems unnecessary to have the album in there, though, so that could just be cut.

I feel like it could be improved with a slight rephrasing, avoiding the three consecutive sentences that begin with "Johnny/he was..." Also, I assume the embedded video is very relevant to PR Johnny's Box Chevy.

Eh, other than the picture, Idk what this tate really adds to the lyric. tough line to annotate bc one knows exactly what G is saying from his words.

i wouldn't have thought that line could be properly annotated

conveys the necessary information, but something seems missing. can't pinpoint what.

Goose Hallow doesn't seem all that relevant to the lyrics, but it has a loos connection and is interesting/informative.

just seems kind of bare and minimal. maybe the wording could have improved it. maybe i'm just being too picky atm

this tate seems to throw in like every possible interpretation of these lyrics. the suicide bit seemed unlikely until you click the first link, so I think that could be explained better. i feel like tates shouldn't being with "it may even." too many links---nearly all of them should be cut. this tate has potential, but as it is, I don't find it helpful.

v good annotation but needs merging with next one!

seems a little light on detail. who is signed where?

Quote is too long
Final paragraph probably a stretch
Lacklustre and boring annotation

First sentence is a restatement and probably wrong (the majority, really?). I'd expand the final sentence and let that stand as a short, sweet tate.

Muddled, too many links, doesn't say much definitive

needs some grammar fixes

In what songs is he mentioned? Why don't tate the whole intro in one?

But are his friends the same as her friends? Is it the perspective of Lil uzi or his girls?

The last thing is long imo and not sourced.

And what do these lines mean

The editor has dope infor on Johnny. I think when the editor typed "a number of the rapper's songs", he/she should have included an example.

g-eazy corny, so imma give it a 2...nah, but seriously. The first sentence feels awkward. The entire tate seems simple. I guess because G-Eazy's lyrics are pretty simple

Is "as per" a phrase? Do people really say "as per"? There should be a pic to add some flavor to it.

Good tate. It definitely covers what a hot tenderoni is, who Bobby Brown is, and why Future would mention him. I don't think the info on why he was kicked out is needed lol

Great tate that covers every angle and meaning.

Good tate. I'M ABABOGBO OFF THAT GOOSE RIGHT NOW! I MIGHT GET LOOSE RIGHT NOW!

This tate should be one sentence, imo.

This mug is long...I'm not too sure about the last paragraph tho.

I'mma give it a 5 jus' becuz Drake is a g for cozying up with JLo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are punctuation/capitalization problems. Clarifying when the picture was posted to SnapChat would be useful in validating the source (because haters will say it's photoshopped). Finally, the first sentence seems to be a bit of a stretch with most artists touring on buses and not jets. The linked video didn't offer much either.

The referent should include the next two lines, and because it doesn't there is redundancy amongst the tates. The last sentence is really long and could be shortened with some re-wording.

The comparison to Bobby's falling out with New Edition is a bit of a stretch and not really needed here, so the first paragraph can go. The video and quote are redundant, just need one or the other.

The reference to "The Hooch" is a stretch. On "Portland" Travis is drinking three different things including Goose, and on "The Hooch" he's not drinking Goose at all. Just because he mentions Goose in both doesn't make it a similar line or necessarily relevant. Otherwise a good tate - well sourced links and a nice gem about Goose Hallow.

Problems: needs a link for Freebandz, "shouting them out" doesn't need to be linked, the picture doesn't add anything, and the term "set" could use better disambiguation than paralleling it to the term "gang".

This tate covers the many possible interpretations of the hook but somehow lacks clarity. There are lots of links that don't help explain, but instead add more complexity.

Very long tate! Aside from the grammar issues and length, this explain the lines thoroughly and has solid links!

Not sure how to feel about this tate. The info provided is good context for why a JLo sample made the album, but doesn't shed light on the choruses meaning as it relates to "Teenage Fever" (and the tate for the original lyrics don't help any with unveiling meaning/purpose).

Probably should make an explicit contrast between jet travel and the vast majority of musicians who are drudging along in vans or buses, plus the phrasing is awkward

(I'm assuming there's a detailed tate about the Juliet statue on the following lines and this tate is just focusing on the 3WW thing)

this is fine, but how is that next line about "flex on my ex-team" sitting there untouched?!??

cut off the Travis Scott lyric quote after the third or fourth line, the rest of the verse is pointless; but solid otherwise

unnecessary tate that restates the line, but gets an A for effort

the grouping makes it unclear who's speaking in the repeated lines - the tate seems to imply it's Uzi, in which case the first line ("she said...") should be grouped with the line above. overall, good content, but awfully emphatic about their interpretation of some unclear lines.

way too long, possibly written by Mo-G's mom

I would just highlight the line "[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez]" for this one, since the tate is entirely meta and not relating to the lyrics
