IDK’s been one of my favorite artists for…a while, back to his proto-IDK days when he still had a Jay in the front of his name. While “Shotty Mouth” and Sex, Drugs, and Homework (sorry for bringing them up, bruh) pale in comparison to his latest work, it’s amazing to see the growth from then until […]
Read moreSOTBSports: On Chris Davis
Let me start this by saying I believe in you, Crush, even though it may seem like I don’t. Looking at Chris Davis, especially over the past few seasons, you have to wonder something: could this have been avoided?

I love it, since I don’t like when producers get stuck in “what works” and […]

Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t finished the DIU season of JJBA (either because you’re watching the dub or you’re getting into the series), I’ll try to avoid spoiling everything.
